A non-refundable deposit of £40 is required to secure your wedding date but this comes off your trial amount.
Your wedding day deposit of 50% of the total cost of the booking is then due at the trial or within the week to further secure your wedding day.
I am happy to travel to you, or you are welcome to travel to me at my home in Leigh on Sea.
I allow up to 3 hours for the trial. This gives us plenty of time to try around two styles possibly a third. I take plenty of photos of your chosen style with notes too, so this can be created again.
Travel charges - 35miles round trip are included in the bridal prices, Mileage after the 35 miles is charged at £1 a mile from SS9 4LU. This is for time and distance (using AA Route Planner).
I offer trials on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & limited Weekends -Please be sure to book in as early as possible to avoid disappointment for the weekend dates.
I will have a large range of hair styling products and equipment, so all I will need from you is a room with a table, chair & a mirror if you have one. It's best if your hair is dry and blow-dried either the day before or on the morning particularly if you suffer from oily roots. I will advise otherwise on the trial if need be.
A selection of photos is really helpful, even if you like the front of one and perhaps the back of another, I will be able to combine the 2.
To have your hair piece, veil or accessories to try out would be a great idea, if not I have a wide selection we can trial and I will be happy to give advice if you are unsure of what to have in your hair.
We will talk through ideas you have, your theme and accessories. I will also discuss with you and organise timings for the wedding day as well as hair requirements for bridesmaids and mums if applicable.

I will always ensure that I allocate enough time for each person. If necessary, I can arrange for an additional hair assistant to help and we will write you a schedule in advance for the morning to help with timings making it run smoothly & efficiently.
You need to allow 45 mins to 1 hour for photos before the ceremony (Unless told otherwise by the photographer), also to meet with registrar 15 minutes before the ceremony, factoring all this in for a 12,30 ceremony you would probably be looking at a 6am/7am start time. This all depends on how intricate the styles are, if need be I can get an assistant in to help. I have been known to start at 5am before - I can be available at whatever time is needed!
Keep trims to 10-12 weeks, to ensure you are not cutting off the length that’s it has grown.
I can supply clip in hair extensions that work brilliantly, in several styles. I can meet prior to your trial and colour match ready in time for your hair trial.
My wedding day prices are higher because I need to factor in the fitting of the veil and headpiece also the time taken for a bride is so much longer than a prom or special occasion. I'm around a lot longer maybe waiting for my bride to get in her dress to fit her veil or do any last minute tweaks. Also, wedding days are generally an early start with prep work involved too.
