Choosing your bridal hair and makeup artist.
Your bridal hair and makeup artist will be spending almost half of your wedding day in your space, with you. These are the first hours of your wedding day, which really sets the tone for the rest of your day.

Your bridal hair and makeup artist will be spending almost half of your wedding day in your space, with you. These are the first hours of your wedding day, which really sets the tone for the rest of your day.
Things to consider when choosing your artist:
Do the images of their previous work match your personal style?
If the bridal makeup and hairstyling you are looking for is something they are already comfortable with and highly skilled in, it minimizes stress and excess time spent perfecting your look on the day. When the expectation and execution align, a happy and calm atmosphere is created.
Is their personality a match to the atmosphere you’re trying to create?
Do you want a calm relaxing atmosphere?
ASK: How skilled is the artist at handling high pressure situations? How well can they manage their time?
- Do you want a FUN, LOUD atmosphere?
ASK: Can they handle different personalities and can they concentrate and work effectively in busy loud environments?
How consistent and reliable have they been during the booking process?
Punctuality, respect for your time, adaptability and professionalism can be detected during the initial conversations.
An artist that cannot manage their time, is unsure of their skills, a little arrogant or dismissive can wreak havoc on your day.
An artist that is punctual, respectful and skilled at handling different situations and experienced can calm you down, make the morning run smoothly and make sure you walk down the isle calm and confident!
Do you genuinely like this person?
I believe there is an ideal artist for every client. If the vibes are off, you can find someone else! It’s a professional relationship, and you have only one wedding morning! Make sure it is memorable for the right reasons. :)
