Begin
your Bikini/Brazilian, Leg & Underarm
Waxing
We recommend that your
final bikini/brazilian, leg & underarm
waxing should be done 2-3 days
prior to your wedding
to eliminate any possible redness
and swelling. If you have sensitive
skin, we recommend that you schedule
your waxing 5-6 days prior to the
wedding. Waxing rather than shaving
allows the bride to have less worry
during your wedding day as well
as your honeymoon.
Begin your Facial Waxing
Your final facial waxing should be
done 1 week prior to your wedding
day. We do not recommend doing
any facial waxing the week of your
wedding due to any possible redness
or swelling that may occur. We
can tweeze any stray hairs the
day of or the day prior to your
wedding.

Hair Coloring/Perming
This should be done 2 months prior
to your wedding to reach the desired

or receive your full set of acrylic
nails
This should be done to eliminate
the chance of cuticle nicks due
to dryness & sensitivity.

It is a good idea to bring your camera

make sure that you can take a photo
and bring it with you on your wedding

hair pieces (tiara, veil, etc.)
at the time of your trial so the
hair stylist can create your desired
style.
