FAQ
A Hair & Makeup trial is a crucial step in a Bride's wedding preparation journey, ensuring she feels confident and radiant on her special day and in turn me as your stylist am confident with the styles we've chosen for your special day. This personalised session allows us both to collaborate and experiment on the hair & makeup looks you envision. It provides an opportunity to fine-tune details, from makeup colours to hairstyle tweaks, ensuring everything compliments your dress and overall aesthetic. Additionally, a trial reduces the risk of last-minute surprises, allowing every Bride to envision the complete look well ahead of the big day. Overall, a hair & makeup trial not only enhances the Bride's piece of mind but also contributes to a seamless and joyful wedding experience.
This varies depending on aspects of the morning of, however in general we allow 1 hour per person per service.
I do like to allow up to 1.5hours per service for the bride however as this gives the bride more time to relax and enjoy the 'getting ready' process.
Should bridal party members have extra long or thick hair though, this will be factored into the wedding day HMU schedule so that we have everyone ready in time to get dressed.

is it risky for sweaty and the kiss
Makeup by Mir
I would suggest if you are definitely wanting to wear a red lipstick to find a long wear or lip stain that won't rub off on your husband during 'the kiss'. This way your lipstick will also withstand humidity and heat and you'll be less likely to sweat it off or transfer onto your gown or anyone else.
Red lipstick is a daring colour to wear for your wedding, so choose it wisely and make sure it's applied and dried well before you go anywhere near your gown.
Should I wash my hair on my wedding morning?
Makeup by Mir
Always wash your hair the day/night before your wedding day, this includes shampooing twice and only conditioning from the mid length to ends to avoid oily roots. Blow drying your hair as smooth as possible so your hairstylist isn't wasting time drying your hair when she can be styling in that time.
If you have curly hair, this can be done the morning of whilst applying your usual curl products and either allowing to dry naturally or using a diffuser hairdryer to eliminate frizz.
Best hairstyles for an older bride
Hello. I'm an older bride getting married for the second time. I'd like some advice please on hairstyles that suit mature brides. My hair is medium length. Many thanks.
Makeup by Mir
Hi there,
Firstly congratulations.
I would suggest the following as options to consider for your wedding hairstyle:
Do you wear your hair out or up daily?
If out, then I would suggest a soft wave to keep you looking like yourself without being too formal.
If you tend to wear your hair up alot you can either opt for a soft low bun or the latest Pamela Anderson updo which is effortless and simple while being timeless.
Depending on the theme of your wedding will help a hairstylist assist in selecting the right hairstyle for your special day, factors that also come into play is the neckline of your dress, style of dress and whether you will wear a veil or any hair accessories in your hair.
A hair trial with your preferred hairstylist would also be beneficial to try a few styles so you can see what wear well with your look and feel.
I hope this helps you a little towards finding the right hairstyle for you.
