Tips for a Picture Perfect Day

• It’s best to do all styling and primping before you slip into your dress, except final touches like lipstick. Wear a button-down shirt so you won’t ruin your hairstyle or makeup pulling a t-shirt over your head when it is time to get into your wedding attire.

• Be sure to bring your headpiece with you if the stylist will need to work it into your hair. Arrange to have a manicure and pedicure at least a day before so you won’t have to worry about wet nails.

• In order to accommodate your needs for this very special day, we suggest that you begin planning several months before your wedding day.  Our services are often booked quite far in advance and it is best if you finalize your service needs early in the planning process to ensure a seamless transition of beauty and relaxation for you and your bridal party.

• We also recommend the bride schedule a consultation for hair and makeup at least two weeks prior to the wedding. This is a time to discuss your makeup or hairdressing needs. Bring a camera if possible and your head piece. During your consultation, decide on a hair style and let your hair stylist do a test as if it were your wedding day. Follow the same procedure for your makeup. That way, there will be no surprises on your special day. Of course, minor adjustments are always possible.

Top 10 Tips for Wedding Ready Nails

What bride doesn’t want a perfect set of nails on her wedding day? After all, there’s no better way to show off that special something on your fourth finger. Get your hands wedding-ready with these 10 tips.

Start getting weekly manicures. If the price is too steep for you, get a professional manicure just once a month, and do your own nails during the three weeks in between.

Drink a mixture of orange juice and Knox gelatin once a week to help strengthen nails. For best results, adopt this beauty ritual at least one month before wedding day.

Use a nail-building base coat under your polish. Ask your manicurist which is best.

If you’re a nail-biter, coat your nails with polish that tastes so bitter it stops you from nibbling. Use it for at least two months before your wedding.

Protect your nails from harsh chemicals by wearing rubber gloves when doing dishes and other household chores.

Steer clear of dish soap. Soak hands instead in warm water made sudsy with your favorite shampoo.

Apply a heavy dose of hand cream at bedtime to prevent dry, cracking skin. To really do it right, cover with cotton gloves so it soaks in while you doze.

Ward off chips and splits by buffing nails nightly with a smoothing block.

Top nails off three times a week with a strengthening polish.

And finally, protect your nails by using the end of a pencil to dial the phone.
