Before you say “I do” you will want to make sure your hairdo is absolutely perfect for your wedding day.
Although you’ve probably already started pinning updos and scrolling through pages of wedding hair accessories, when it comes to planning your bridal hairstyle for the big day, it’s important to start with who your wedding hairstylist will be.
Whether you already have a stylist in mind or you’re starting your search from scratch, there are a number of things that you should consider. We have all the tips and tricks to help you choose the best wedding hairstylist for your big day.
1. Set Your Budget
Weddings can really add up and something that you should always set aside budget for is your bridal look. That should include your dress, makeup and of course, your hair.
Once you have your budget determined and your dress purchased, you will have a better sense of how much you have remaining when choosing your wedding hairstylist. Begin asking for quote, any that exceed your limit should be eliminated.
2. Do Your Research
Take a look through the portfolios of the wedding hairstylists that you’re considering to get a sense of their style and capabilities and make sure that it aligns with your taste and style.
With all the salons out there, it can be tough to weed through the legit stylists. Taking a look at their portfolio or social media profiles is always a good start.
3. Ask Family and Friends for Recommendations
Who do you trust more than your family and friends? They always have your back and they won’t refer to you any wedding hairstylist they don’t believe will give you the best look for your locks on your big day.
Not only will asking around provide you with more options, you’re almost guaranteed to get honest opinions from the ones who love you most.
4. Read Their Reviews
Of course, you can trust your friends and family’s opinions, but it also doesn’t hurt to read the hairstylists’ Google or Facebook reviews. Check out the reviews from their previous clients to get the scoop on their timelines, capabilities and their cost.
Referrals and reviews can help make sure you’re choosing the right wedding hairstylist for your big day.
5. Book a Consultation
Once you’ve narrowed down your search to a couple of stylists that you believe would work best, the next step is to book a consultation to meet them. This is your chance to ask all your questions and discuss your dream wedding hairstyle.
6. Book a Hair Trial
If you find the consultation stage goes well, book a time for a hair trial to give that hairstylist and the hairstyle you have in mind a test drive before hiring them. That way, you won’t be getting any big surprises on your big day!
7. Book the Stylist!
Congratulations! You’ve done your research, met with the stylist and you both loved the hair trial. Now it’s finally time to book the hairstylist for your wedding day.
We always recommend having a contract created that outlines the costs, what’s included within the wedding day hair services, and locking down the time and day for the stylist.
