Wedding Hair and Makeup – Aurelio Salon and Spa in New Jersey
There is nothing more fun at Aurleio Salon than a wedding The romance, the excitement, the dress and, most important, the wedding hairstyle and Makeup. Remember the wedding photos will last forever and so will our work!/
Our stylists who do weddings know that there are rules. Wedding hair is NOT prom hair. (Some seem to be under the impression that an “up-do is an up-do,” but this isn’t the case – wedding hair requires finesse.) Of course, the wedding hair planning should start the minute the dress is purchased. Right after the Bride and her stylist have screamed in delight over the choice of moissanite rings the groom went through before settling on the one she is showing off, both will need to get to work.
1 Stop in and sit with our wedding coordinator. Plan for about 30 minutes. They will walk the bride through the process, Explain the different packages we have at the salon, schedule the trials and book her appointment on the wedding day. At this time our stylists will hear the bride’s idea of how she wants to look on her wedding day. Look at the photos of her dress and plan the ideal hair. Strapless dresses lend themselves to longer styles and higher necklines tend to prefer up-dos to show the detail of the dress. The hair should complement the entire ensemble, not compete with it. Some things we have to plan and consider will be whether or not the bride will want to grow her hair out or get extensions for her big day. Hair color will also be discussed at length. Order hair extensions. Most brides look best in their natural hair color or a color enhanced version of the original. All these details are important to achieve the right look. Either way, there are many considerations for the big day.
2 The Trial Hair and Makeup. After the dress is purchased or at least two months before the wedding, the Bride should bring Photos of her dream hair, photos of the wedding dress, her veil or headpiece, any hair ornaments she wants to use in her wedding hair, and a camera. She should plan about an hour for hair and 30 min to an hour for makeup. She may also wish to plan some other things way ahead in advance, like any facials she may want to lead up to the wedding, or other treatments such as eyelash extention serum to ensure her lashes are nice and long for the big day! But for the trial day, with all this in mind, our stylists will begin to casually style the Bride’s hair into her ideas to get a visual. They will then arrange the hair in its final completed form with all the hair baubles in place so the Bride can see exactly what she will look like on her big day. This hair is not meant to stay up or last. It is only a trial.
The Bride will want to do this BEFORE the wedding, so the wedding day is easy and stress-free. Make any changes she needs to and perfect the style! At this time, our stylists and makeup artists will discuss and observe any colour issues that might come up and make notes. Also, make any changes needed. Anything that is placed in the hair will also need to be taken out without destroying the hairstyle. How high will the hair be? Will it need to be taken down at any time during the night? Are you getting lash extensions? Our stylists have to consider the things that the Bride cannot see coming.
3 Just before the wedding Chemicals and Cut. About week before the wedding date the bride should have an Hair appointment. This is where our stylist will color the bride’s hair as needed, which includes highlights, color, glossing treatments, deep conditioning treatments, adding extensions (depending on the type of extensions) We also recommend a conditioner/glossing treatment to the hair to give it that healthy shine and feel for every bride. This appointment will finalize the hair shaping and any chemical services required to create the most beautiful wedding hairstyle ever. Our stylists may even suggest fresh salon hairstyle, but will not give her a style that looks anything like what she will be wearing down the aisle. Her wedding hair will be new and never seen, like the dress.
The Wedding Day The bride has a lot to and we are going to give her one less thing and that is not to wash her hair that morning if the hair will be styled in an up-do. Freshly washed hair can be too slippery to hold pins. She is to wear a button down shirt or robe so the shirt is not pulled over the freshly style hair. Her appointment was scheduled to get her out on time so she should arrive 15 min early with her veil or headpiece and any hair ornaments. Then sit back and enjoy the experience.
