FAQs
Where/when do the trials take place?
How to book your trial: To book your trial, I will contact you once your booking is confirmed and book it in 1-3 months prior to the wedding date. By this time you will most likely have your dress and any hair accessories/veil which you can bring to the trial. Having a trial too soon can also mean that your hair length and colour changes between the time from having your trial, and up to the wedding day and may differ the overall appearance of the hairstyle. However, if you feel more comfortable doing a trial sooner or later I can accommodate this. Please note I don't carry out trials any sooner than 6 months ahead of the wedding date due to being so busy with the current seasons weddings and trials. I hope you understand. Where are trials held: Trials are held at my home studio based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Full address will be given once you have requested a formal quote and booked in.
What deposit do you require?
A 25% non-refundable, but transferable deposit is taken at the time of booking. This is to secure your date with me and to hold it in my diary and turn down all other enquiries/bookings for that date. The deposit also covers the cost of your trial and payment to book any assistants for your date. Once the deposit is paid your date is secured. If you require an assistant on your date and its itemised on the invoice, I will secure them for your booking once your booking is confirmed. The remaining balance is due in full 4 weeks before the wedding date via bank transfer (Payment details are on all quotations and invoices). Payment of the deposit confirms acceptance of my T&C's. PLEASE NOTE: Should your wedding be affected by covid your non-refundable deposit is fully transferable to a new date. Please get in touch with me ASAP to liaise a new date and check my availability.
How long does a trial take?
1.5 hours max for hair or makeup. 2.5 hours max for hair & makeup. All trials include a 15 minute mini consultation to discuss hair thickness and length as well as your skin type and any allergies or skin concerns you may have. We will look at pictures of what you would like to achieve in your trial and discuss what is achievable and how the style will look based on your hair length, thickness and texture. NOTE: Please specify if you have very long and/or thick hair so that I can allow some additional time to your trial if needed.
Do I need to bring anything for the trial?
How to prep for your trial: - Bring hair and/or makeup inspiration photos to your appointment, Pinterest is a good platform to get ideas. If you’re torn between a few looks, don’t worry! I will help you finalise a look that fits your wedding style during your appointment. - Try to wear a white or light coloured top to resemble your wedding dress. - On the day arrive with a fresh clean face and freshly washed and dried hair from the day/night before. - If you have accessories/a veil, please bring this with you so we can place it in the hair and see how it works with the chosen style.
When do your require final payment?
The remaining balance is due in full 4 weeks before the wedding date via bank transfer or cash payment (Payment details are on all quotations and invoices).
What additional services do your offer?
Hair accessory purchase at my studio or online shop https://www.hairandmakeupemma.co.uk/hair-accessories I also have hair extensions available to rent for the day or to purchase if you would like to keep them. You can try them with you hairstyle at the trial and decide if you would like some extra thickness/length added. They are available for rental or purchase.
