Proms, weddings, and other formal events call for a special hair day! There are many questions I receive from clients before their big day. Here are some common Q and A's.
Should my hair be dirty?
Not really.
In the past, dirty hair was ideal so the hair wouldn't be too soft to work with from a fresh shampoo and condition. Now, there are many products on the market that your stylist can use to grit up the hair to make it more workable.
My suggestion would be to use a light or volumizing shampoo and conditioner, and blowdry with a light gel and volumizing mousse.
You should arrive to your hair appointment with DRY hair. Your stylist has set aside time for forming an up-style, not a full blowout.
What should I wear to my appointment?
A button up shirt is best, or a top with a wide neck line. The important thing is to wear a top that can be easily removed without harming your hairstyle.
Should I bring a picture of the styles I like?
Absolutely!
Keep in mind that your hair may be much different than the person in the picture. Try to find a shape you like, your stylist can then customize that designs shape to your individual needs.
Should I bring my friends and family to the appointment?
Probably not.
If it's your wedding day, and your party is getting their hair done at the salon also, then obviously yes. Having an audience entitles them to share their opinions and tastes with you and your stylist. If you are confident in the style you chose, it's best not open up the opinions of your loved ones. You also don't want your loved ones crowding around your stylist as he or she is trying to create your special style.
Should I do my makeup before or after I get my hair done?
Before.
It's best to get your makeup done before your formal style. This prevents your hair from getting moved around too much before your event.
Are there any hair products I should take to the event?
Yes! ColorProof's HumidtyRx.
This acts as your great hair day shield! Have a can and share it between your group for the day. A must have!
