HAIR & MAKEUP SCHEDULE
HAIR & MAKEUP BEAUTY POINTERS
1) Hair is best styled with clean, product-free or limited product in hair.
2) Hair should be completely dry. Anyone with damp hair runs risk of delaying the schedule. Flat ironing is not recommended.
3) Do not apply SPF or oil-based moisturizers to your skin. You may still moisturize with a non-SPF product (SPF can cause makeup to fall off quicker).
4) Brush your teeth and put in your contacts prior to beginning your beauty service.
5) It is helpful if each bridal party member has an inspirational image prepared for the stylist / artist
