Pricing
The package starts at $400 for the bride. Travel, gratuity, early start times and any bridal party services are added to that figure. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details.
This price covers one event on a single day. The vendor has not published how many hours it includes, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book. The salon's own timing guide below helps you plan the morning.
How the trial works
A hair or makeup trial is a 75-minute appointment with your wedding day stylist. Lashes are included, and you can bring accessories such as clips, brooches or a veil to see the full look together. The salon also keeps a veil on hand. The contract is reviewed and your services are confirmed during the trial, so you leave knowing exactly what is booked.
Wedding day timing
The vendor describes a typical wedding timeline of about four hours, with roughly 30 to 45 minutes per person for the bridal party. A bride who has completed a trial is allotted 45 minutes to an hour per service. Share your ceremony time and party size early so the team can plan a start time that leaves room for photos.
