Today's tips come from Sue at Enzo's Hair and Beauty Salon, They do wonderful things with my Brides hair and makeup. Sue runs the the whole show but is predominantly in charge of the hair salon, so today's hints and tips are about hair and how to make you lovely brides look stunning on your special day. I thoroughly recommend both Sue and Sarah (beauty salon), they are simply fantastic at what they do. Over to you Sue:
Hi my name is Sue and I am the proprietor of Enzo's salon, whilst my daughter concentrates on the beauty side of the business my main concern is the running of the hair salon.
A girls wedding day is the most important day in her life! She wants it to be just perfect, right down to the tiniest detail and this of course includes her appearance, dress, makeup and hair!
Very often a Bride to be starts to book the important things like her venue and photographer at least 12 – 18 months before her big day. We would also advise you to source you hair stylist around this time to avoid disappointment, as many good stylists will be booked up this far in advance.
Okay to get down to the subject of your wedding hair, first and foremost make a plan!
Think about the styles, look in magazines, and tear out designs you like, keep them safe in a file for reference. Now do you need to grow your hair? This of course will give you more style options and if this is the case, start growing now! However I would still advise that you have regular trims, conditioning treatment and keep up a good routine of home care in order to keep your hair in tiptop condition. All these things will help when it comes to finally styling your hair for your big day. If you are a girl who colours her hair or wants this done for her wedding make sure your last appointment is at least two weeks before your wedding day.
Consultations with your chosen stylist on a fairly regular basis are important. Information is always the key to a successful relationship with your stylist and will lead to you being more than satisfied with the end result. Some of the important information that is overlooked is as follows (I know some of these things seem obvious but believe me, these are all things that are often forgotten):
1) Wedding Date
2) Time of ceremony including travel time
3) Venue
4) Dress style and colour (images always helpful)
5) Number of Bridesmaids and anyone else to be included
6) Tiara & Veils
7) And if we are not doing the make up as well, details of who is!
Bring pictures to your consultations of styles you like (as mentioned earlier) and the dress you have chosen, it is very important to match your hair with your dress style. It is also important to remember that very often the style you might like might be extremely challenging when faced with your actual hair type (length, shape, colour etc). However, not to worry as these days there are many wonderful things that can be done - for example Extensions and Hairpieces. These are some of the things we may need to discuss at your consultations and a trial needs to be done at least four weeks prior to your wedding day.
Some final tips:
1) Always go for a design that gives comfort, never choose a look that you wouldn’t normally dare to try, familiarity is key.
2) Book well in advance to avoid disappointment, don’t forget good stylists like photographers book up early.
3) Communicate with your stylist; there is no point in being unhappy with something and not saying so, if we don’t know we can’t fix it.
4) Build a relationship with your stylist; this is key, as with all business relationships it is important you get on well. If this cannot be achieved move on and find someone you do click with.
Well that’s all from me for now, if you would like to find out more about our services or to book in a trial please don’t hesitate to contact me (my details are below).
Good luck with your wedding, I hope you have a fabulous day and look a million dollars!
Best wishes
Sue
