What happens at the Trial & Consultation?

The Trial & Consultation takes place at the venue that you choose.

The purpose of the Trial & Consultation is to discuss and try various looks that you may want on your special day. It gives you an opportunity to try different styles until you find one that you are completely happy with.

It is an essential part of the process, especially for weddings as, on the special day, time is limited. By having a Trial & Consultation beforehand means that on the day, no time is wasted and you can relax.

What is the risk of not having a Trial & Consultation?

Without a Trial & Consultation, you risk not being completely satisfied with your look on the day of the occasion. Either that or the look takes longer to achieve.

In the case of Special Occasion hair and make-up, if you are certain of what you want then you may be able to afford taking this risk however, if you are not sure then I would strongly advise a Trial & Consultation.

Preparing for the Trial & Consultation

If possible, have the outfit alongside any jewellery and accessories that you plan to wear on the day of the occasion ready. This always bears an influence on the chosen style.

It is helpful if you get ideas of what colours and looks you like. Maybe you can have some pictures that you like ready to show me so that I can get an idea of your taste. If you have no idea, don't panic - we can discuss this during the Trial & Consultation.

Preparing for the Make-Up Trial & Consultation

It is better that the Trial & Consultation takes place in daylight. Ideally, the room will have a lot of daylight coming in and you will be positioned in front of a mirror.

It saves time if you remove all make-up from the face before the Trial & Consultation. I always start by cleansing, toning and moisturising. All my products are suitable for sensitive skin and I have a variety of moisturisers to suit different types of skin. If you would prefer me to use your products, that's fine, just make sure that you have them ready! Please let me know of any known allergies to any particular products or brands.

Preparing for the Hair Trial & Consultation

Ideally the Trial & Consultation will take place in a room with good lighting and you will be positioned in front of a mirror.

Greasy hair is always easier to put up. If you are not sure whether or not you would like your hair up or if you cannot stand the thought of having greasy hair then that's fine. If necessary we can simply use a lot of hairspray!
If there are any hair pieces or accessories that you are keen on having in your hair then have these ready too. Alternatively, I have a selection that I can bring to you.
