BRIDAL TRIALS & GENERAL INFO
Bridal trials are a duration period of up to 1 - 1. 5 hours and are preformed in salon only. Please be aware that you will not leave the salon with a polished finish. Trials are strictly for us to play around with the hair, which will require swapping and changing of the part, curling, setting, restyling and brushing out. We use minimal products for hold to do so and purely focus on getting the style right for you so we can do our job correctly on the day. A trial is more for you to envision your style and see it on your hair for yourself and I am provided with a better understanding of your overall desired look. The trial and how the hair last after your appointment has no bearing to the actual day of proper setting and styling.
I would highly recommend a bridal trial for any brides unsure of their vision. A trial will consist of a proper in depth consultation for me to better understand your overall look and ensure that I am able to give my honest opinion and recommend / decide together what's best suited for your hair type.
I am quite versatile and will give you exactly what you are after if you wish not to have a bridal trial, However.
Please keep in mind:
- Pictures are required for each individual style ready for me to assess.
- If a guest / bride is unhappy with their style and request a restyle unfortunately this will require additional costs for the time spent to restyle the hair. This is to be paid upfront & in full prior to commencing. You will be made aware of this before continuing with your second style.
- Any guests on location who wish or request to have their hair styled that are not in the bridal party or our quote will require to pay upfront and in full. This will only occur if i see fit to go ahead with this extra service and given the okay by the bride on her day.
- I will not "touch up", "fix up" or play with extra guests hair that are not included in our quote and schedule for the morning. This is an additional service that requires my time and this will be charged accordingly. Please make your wedding guests aware of this as they will be asked to confirm with you & payment will be accepted only from the bride and made prior to me starting this service.
THE VEIL
The veil will be placed in just before you walk down the aisle if your on location OR as your about to get into the cars to your ceremony.
I will take some time in the morning to go over this with the Maid of Honour & an extra guest in your bridal party. Together we will make sure everyone is secure & comfortable with this process. Along with application I will also go over the removal of the veil this is helpful for all day shooting with and without veil. This helps avoid damage to your hairstyle if one or more of your bridesmaids are on board with this.
I'm more than happy to place veil in myself before i leave you after touch-ups. If you believe this is too early and you require me to stay back after morning cut off for the application of the veil this is an additional cost.
This starts from $450 + time. This service needs to be apprised to Caroline Lysandrou Hair upon booking / quotation period as this additional time for the afternoon is now occupied by you also. This means i cannot book further services in the salon as my time will be solely with you.
CAN I HAVE MY TRIAL ON THE SAME DAY AS AN EVENT?
Some guests request this, Having a trial on the same day as general "event styling". I prefer to keep each styling service separate from one another for the below reasons: In the Bridal Trial i'm not setting your requested style for your event and then you will be on your way. For the trial I will be using minimal products that way I am able to change partings, Change the shape of the curls, Set and brush out ect.. This is not realistic or practical as your style for your event will be pre - tampered with from your trial and you will not leave the salon with a polished finish or guarantee the best results or maximum hold for your event. Once the hairs been tampered with, there is nothing I can unfortunately do with the aftermath of playing around with the hair from your trial. For example this may result in simply a curl not holding shape from excessive heat styling or over brushing.
Brides also like to have a second style fitted into this time frame, if they are not sure of the style they want, this will again require more brushing out and re-setting again, tampering with the hair means any style we set after your trial for your "event" will not guarantee best hold or shape.
If you wish to proceed with this service, this will require additional time in the salon and needs to be scheduled into the day. This styling service will be charged again as a seprate booking and have nothing to do with your trial time or your desired wedding look. - Event styling is From $150.
HOW TO PREP YOUR HAIR!
For the wedding & your Bridal Trial.
(Hair must be pre -prepped the night before your trial and the night before your wedding day. I require to work with clean hair for the best results.)
- Please wash your hair & condition your ends only. Blast dry your hair 100%.
- Please do not add any heavy products or smooth iron your hair.
- If you have oily hair please do more then the usual two washes. Condition ends only! follow the above steps.
- Please do not go to bed with damp or wet hair and then blast dry that morning.. You will wake up with oil build up at your roots.
- Its important to dry your hair completely before bed.
HOW TO PREP YOUR HAIR EXTENTIONS!
How to prep your hair extentions for the wedding day & your bridal trial.
The extentions must be washed before your wedding. This is a crucial step! If these are not washed and pre prepped properly, then the sliky layer on the exterior of the hair will play a huge roll on how the hair will hold and present itself.
- Please wash the hair with shampoo only!
- Do not condition.
- Do not add any heavy products.
- Dry the hair completely. So the hair dose not dry oily.
- The hair will 'blow up" in size after washing and wont be silky this is what we want! Do not run the iron over them.
- Do not cut the extentions. Do not let your hairdressser cut the extentions.
(!) If you are a bride working with hair extentions and a new set, it is so important you do not take these to your regular stylist for a cut or style in. Your extensions are complementary styled cut into place and personalised by me on the day going off your desired style. I will be placing the extentions in accordingly to your style. Having the hair pre cut will effect the way that I place them in on the day and may also require another cut, which will again take more length off.
DONUTS & HAIR PADDING
To Purchase - Hair Donuts / Hair Padding are available to purchase for $25 each and added to your final quote if needed. Please keep in mind this cost may not be added to your initial quote, until we have a trial and we discussed your desired style.
To Rent - Hair Donuts / Hair Padding are to be returned to the salon within a week of the wedding day. (The bride will be responsible for this). This option works as a loan system where a refundable deposit is made and refunded upon return to the salon.
