7 Tips for Flawless Bridal Hair from Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ
For many brides, finding the perfect wedding day hairstyle feels overwhelming. Some feel like they need a dramatic change to look their best — but in most cases, the best bridal hair is a polished, refined version of who you already are. With the right preparation and a trusted stylist at your side, your wedding day hair can be exactly what you’ve envisioned. Here are seven tips from our stylists at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ.
1. Build a Relationship with Your Stylist Early
Start coming in regularly before the wedding — not just for the big day. The more time your stylist has with your hair, the better they will understand your texture, density, growth patterns, personal style, and face shape. All of that knowledge contributes to a result you’ll actually love on the day.
2. Always Do a Trial Run
A bridal hair trial is money well spent. It lets you see exactly what your hair will look like before the wedding and gives you and your stylist time to adjust anything that isn’t quite right. Bring in photos of styles you love — and photos of styles you don’t. Both are equally helpful. After the trial, wear the style for several hours to see how it holds up throughout the day.
3. Give Yourself Plenty of Time
On the morning of the wedding, build more time into the schedule than you think you’ll need. Hair takes longer than expected, especially with a full wedding party. Feeling rushed is the enemy of a relaxed, beautiful result. Give yourself — and your stylist — plenty of breathing room.
4. Be Yourself
Wedding hair doesn’t have to mean long, flowing locks or a dramatic updo. The best bridal hairstyle is one that makes you feel like yourself. If you’ve always worn your hair short, a chic, polished short style on your wedding day can look absolutely stunning. Don’t stray so far from your comfort zone that you feel like a different person on the most photographed day of your life.
5. Speak Up
If something doesn’t feel right — the placement of pins, the direction of the style, the height of an updo — say something immediately. It is much easier to adjust while your stylist is still working than to ask for changes after everything has been set. Your stylist is there to make you happy.
6. Stick with Your Trial Look
If you loved your trial, trust it on the day. Last-minute changes to a bridal style — especially when time is limited — rarely go as planned and often result in stress. When you love the result of your trial, commit to it and enjoy the morning.
7. Consider the Weather and Season
Humidity and heat can affect how certain styles hold throughout the day. If your wedding is in summer, a polished updo or pinned style often holds better than loose waves or blow-dried styles that can fall in humidity. Talk to your stylist about what will work best for your hair type and the conditions of your wedding day.
