We believe that all brides should have hair and makeup trials for a variety of reasons that will save you headaches and prevent you from having a bad experience on your wedding day.

True to your choice.

We know that this is one of the most important days of your life and that you want to share this experience with the people you love the most. That's great! We just want to remind you that it's about your wedding, your image, your hair and your face. We're telling you this because going with someone else when choosing your look can sometimes backfire.

It is likely that in their eagerness to help, your companions will give their opinions on how they think you should look. And trying to please the tastes of the people who accompany you may be a little confusing for you, as well as for us.

One of the best tips we can give you when choosing the way you would like to look on your big day, is to be faithful to what you want and above all, to your own style.

It is normal that throughout the process some doubts arise, and that you require the point of view of someone close to you to support your decisions. This is completely valid and in many occasions necessary. These opinions are usually very helpful.

But it is important that they are only to polish the idea that you already have about the style that you like. Otherwise they could generate more confusion than clarity. And on that day we all want you to be as unconfused as possible.

Inspiration

We always ask our brides to support us by looking for a photo on the Internet to serve as inspiration to recreate the makeup and hairstyle they want.

It is necessary that the model's features are similar to those of the bride. Same skin tone and eyes. Same hair length and color, etc. This will make the process more effective. And at the same time it will increase the probabilities of satisfaction at the moment of reaching the final result.

It is important to always keep in mind the fact that there are many factors that influence the photo you chose to look like this. Such as Photoshop, lighting, hair volume, hair extensions or hairpieces, among other things.

What we do is to take inspiration from that style and adapt it to your colorimetry, your eye shape, your hair length, etc. And suggest you what we consider most suitable for you.

If your budget allows it, you can go to a specialist to make color effects, put extensions and use some tricks to make you look as similar as possible to the model in the photo. But in the end, we always like to emphasize the fact that because it is a different person, the result of our work will always have a certain degree of difference from the photo.

Communication is the key!

No one but you knows what this dream means. No one knows what you imagine when you talk about the experience you are about to live. Only you know how you want to look on your big, long-awaited day. That's why talking to the people who will perform your tests is of utmost importance to help them achieve the expected result.

The tests are done just to make the necessary modifications. Raise or lower the intensities, test the ideal eyelashes for you, create hair volume or remove it, etc. This is where we can suggest if you need any type of hair or facial treatment, among many other things. So, don't be ashamed or afraid to say what's really going on in your head. The more information we have, the better we will be able to capture your idea with every detail that matters.

Not everything is always rosy!

There are times when you may not like the final result, despite all the modifications that have been made. And that's not bad either. Every bride should identify with the people who are going to do her hair. And there are many different styles of makeup artists and hairstylists. Some play more with intensity and others are more natural. Some are more traditional in their hairstyling and others are more alternative. Just because they have different styles doesn't mean that one is better than the other. There are simply brides who identify more with one style than another.

That's precisely why trials are so important. You will be able to see how much you like what we do. And if you don't like it, you will always have the time and freedom to try other alternatives. But remember "everything has a solution".
