However we are getting a number of brides coming to us late, having been let down by makeup artists or stylists...we are sorry, some do give our industry a bad name but you have come to the right place! When searching for makeup artists or stylists for your wedding day, follow this simple checklist to ensure you the best chance in having a successful experience.
CHECKLIST FOR SUCCESSFUL BRIDAL MAKEUP AND HAIR
- Do a search for any information about your intended person/company. A lot can be said for freedom of speech!
- See pictures, not just one or two, but a few! If someone is experienced enough to be doing your hair and makeup on your big day, they won't mind showing you evidence that they are up to the job.
- Look out for reviews and feedback, its always a good idea to see what others are saying about the services they have had. Check websites or letters.
- If correspondence is bad to start with, ie, not returning emails or calls, its likely that this will be the case after you have booked. If your MU artist is disorganised or a bad communicator, get someone else.
- Try using a team. Things can happen which are totally out of your makeup artists/hair stylists control. The last thing you want is no-one to do your hair or makeup on your big day! A team/bridal company will have the added manpower to ensure that in any emergency, a backup is available to save the day!
- Prices, we all have a budget! But looking for the cheapest prices is not always the best practise, as with all things. If you want quality professional staff and an all round robust service, you will probably have to pay for it. A confident service will know what it is worth, but if its way over your budget, try not to go for the cheapest, the old saying - you get what you pay for, is not one you want to hear on your wedding day!
- Hair - if you have a bridal hair stylist that you are used too, that's wonderful but just because you are used to getting your 'every day' hair done, it does not mean that the flair and elegance needed to pull off a bridal style is necessarily there. Ask for a trial. If you are not happy, seek a specialist bridal hair expert who knows how a bride is supposed to look on her big day and will work with you to achieve your ideal look, expertly.
- Don't over burden your consultant. If someone is booked to do your hair and makeup, and your mums makeup and a bridesmaid. That is probably the maximum amount of work that your consultant should have on your wedding morning. If you use a team, they should supply you with more person..many hands make..the bride leave on time! :-)
