So, your wedding day is here and you can’t figure out how to prepare your looks for it. It’s one of the most special days of your life, so you have to make sure you get everything right. 

Besides, you know you’re going to be the center of attention on this big day. You know everyone will be looking at you — so you have to look perfect. 

But you’re nervous. You’re depending on a lot of other people to prepare you for this occasion. And one of those people is your hairstylist. You know, your hair is a huge part of your overall look when you’re at the venue, so you need to handpick your hairstylist with care. 

But how, exactly, do you make sure you’re relying on the right person? How do you pick the right hairstylist who’d get everything right? Look no further, here’s everything you need to know. 

Get started 

Your choice of hairstylist depends on multiple factors including your dress, makeup style, venue, and of course, the budget. You need to figure these out before you start skimming through hairstylists. 

When you get these prerequisites done beforehand, you can make sure you’re ready to ask the right questions from your wedding hairstylist. 

Explore your style options

If you’ve been rocking the same hairstyle for multiple years now, why not get something new for your special day? I know you don’t want to stray too far away from your trusted, personal style, but things could turn out be to awesome if you get your new style right. 

While going through the list of stylists, shortlist those who have a diverse portfolio and can manage multiple styles. Whether you actually pick a new hairstyle, you can decide it later. But you should have that option nonetheless.

Research the available salons

After you’ve shortlisted your potential hairstylists, it’s time to start looking them up on the internet. Remember, it’s the year 2021 and you can find almost everything on the internet. Finding out whether a stylist is good or not should be a piece of cake. 

Read reviews on Google Maps to see what people have to say about each salon. Moreover, you can also check out blogs and articles written by reviewers. 

Go social on Facebook and Instagram

Good stylists don’t shy away from posting their best work on Facebook and Instagram. It’s a nice and easy way to see if a stylist is any good by looking at their past work. 

You have already shortlisted your options, go to social media platforms and start looking at their profiles. See if you like what they’re doing with other brides. 

It’s time to contact them

After you’ve done your research, it’s time you get in touch with the best stylist you’ve chosen. You can either contact them by their business contact information provided on their social media accounts or go there yourself if their salon is located nearby. 

Remember, you want to make sure everything is ready before the big day arrives. So make sure you arrange the meeting pretty early on. 

Ask the necessary questions

You don’t want to hand over the special role of your hairstylist to someone you’ve just met. You should ask every question that comes to your mind; make sure you’re getting exactly what you need and want. 

Ask them about their experience working with bridals; their expertise in doing your specific hair type; the products they use; the tools they have; and everything else that concerns you. 

Try them out

You don’t have to pick a stylist for your special day without even trying them out. You have the right to test them out and see if they’re as good as you’re expecting them to be. 

Consider getting some minor services from them to check their professionalism and service quality. It will give you a brief idea of what to expect from them. 

Sign the contract

You’re there! You’ve finally found your “special” stylist who will do your wedding hair. Now, all there’s left is to sign the contract. But don’t sign it without reading through it. Make sure the contract includes everything you want from the stylist. 

After you’re done reading, grab your pen and sign away!

Your wedding day won’t come again — it’s a special day — so you want to have a special look at it. Make sure you’re picking your hairstylist with extreme care. Ask your friends and family members for recommendations and referrals. Word of mouth could be your best friend during this quest.
