What to expect from a Preview Session.

*If you are getting Special Occasion Hair and/or Makeup done, please skip to hair and makeup prep.

  • We will do our consultation on skin and/or hair.

  • We will discuss your chosen inspiration photos and what you're looking for. Likes and dislikes.

  • Please share any thoughts and concerns.

  • We will discuss what works and what doesn't after hair and/or makeup are finished.

  • We can try out any hair accessories or veil you bring to preview session.

  • Photos and videos of hair and/or makeup will be taken for notes and reference.

  • How long will this take?

    Plan about 4-4.5 hours for hair & makeup preview.

  • 2-2.5 hours for HAIR only.

  • 2-2.5 hours for MAKEUP only.

*This is when we really take the time to get to know each other, work together, and carry out your vision for hair and/or makeup. You deserve to LOOK and FEEL your best, so I’d like to take our time for the Preview Session.

Some Preview Sessions may take longer than expected so please adjust your plans accordingly. I would never want you to feel rushed.

What should I wear?

PLEASE WEAR OFF WHITE, LIGHT BEIGE OR IVORY TOP. IF POSSIBLE, CHOOSE A TOP WITH A NECKLINE SIMILAR TO YOUR DRESS/OUTFIT. You can also wear a white/ivory tank top underneath a button down or open front sweater for easy take off & put on.

Hair Prep.

  • Start looking for hair inspiration.

  • Narrow your final picks down to 3 photos of your most favorite one.

  • Find hairstyle that resembles your actual hair color.

  • Keep in mind that majority of hairstyle that you see on Pinterest has hair extensions.

  • Think about whether you'd like some hair accessories.

  • Be sure to have those by our Preview session if possible.

  • You are more than welcome to bring your veil if you have one or plan on wearing one. I also have a veil at my studio for you to try on.

  • Please come to Preview session with CLEAN and DRY hair with no products. Dirty hair does not hold better.

  • Having products in your hair prior to Preview session could cause damage, breakage, or interfere with the styling process. Therefore, we might not achieve optimal result.

  • Avoid putting hair into a tight bun prior to our Preview Session.

Makeup Prep.

  • Start on a skin care regimen. Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and moisturize.

  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin helps reach optimal result for makeup.

  • Wear sunscreen.

  • Come to trial makeup-free. Please remove mascara and make sure there are no remaining lash glue or mascara residue.

  • Please have your brows groomed and shaped prior to Preview Session if possible.

  • Consider getting facials and pamper yourself. You DESERVE it!
