The trial session is highly recommended, for the best results on the wedding day. We will discuss in person different makeup looks and hairstyles, decide on a look you love and then recreate it on you! We will take photos and a written record of makeup used. A full Bridal trial can last up to 3 hours, and is held at my home in East Auckland in weekdays only.
We only use top quality products in our makeup and hair kits and pride ourselves on keeping everything clean and hygienic. Brands include: NARS, MAC, , Dior, Fenty, , Makeup Forever, Hourglass, Mecca, Tarte, Huda Beauty, Laura Mercier, ABH. For hair I prefer NAK & Schwarzkopf.
You should allow around 1 hour per 1 makeup ( soft glam ) and 1.5 hour per full glam look . For hair it's usally around 1 hour depending on your hairstyle chosen and if you want to include hair extensions, I will allow 1.5 hours.
Also allow time for touch-ups and photos at the end (30 min ).
It is recommended that hair and makeup is completed at least 1 hour before you need to leave for the ceremony. This is a basic guide, as I will personally talk with you to organise a schedule for your morning so it runs smoothly and stress free.

Western Bride: This service offers more than just hair and makeup; it encompasses a comprehensive journey of brainstorming, collaboration, and scheduling to ensure a seamless result on the big day. Our Western bridal hair and makeup service typically emphasizes a modern, subtle, and natural aesthetic, often characterized by a soft glam look. The entire process usually takes about 2 to 2.5 hours.
Cultural Bride: The cultural bridal look can vary significantly based on specific traditions and customs. This style often includes a full glam finish, utilizing heavier products to achieve a long-lasting effect that endures through various ceremonies. Hairstyles feature intricate designs, hair extensions, and carefully placed accessories such as tikka, flowers, and dupattas, each reflecting the cultural significance of the occasion.
