Your wedding hair should feel like you on your best day, and getting there is much easier with a plan. Here is the timeline we suggest to brides at L.A. Hair Design. Adjust it to your date and how much you want to change.
- As soon as your date is set: book your stylist. Wedding Saturdays fill up quickly. Booking early secures your date and gives you time for everything below.
- Four to six months before: talk about your look. Bring photos of your dress, veil and any hair accessories. If you want extra length or volume, this is the time to discuss extensions.
- Three months before: start conditioning treatments. Regular deep conditioning protein and oil mask treatments help your hair look its healthiest in photos.
- Six to eight weeks before: get your cut. A cut a few weeks out lets the shape settle, so you are not wearing a just-cut look on the day.
- Four to six weeks before: book your trial. Try your style with your accessories, take photos from every angle and decide on any changes.
- One to two weeks before: colour. Colouring close to the date, but not too close, gives the tone time to settle and avoids any surprises. If you are planning a bigger change such as balayage, start earlier.
- The week before: finishing touches. Book manicures and pedicures with our aesthetics team and pick up any jewellery from our boutique.
- The day of: arrive with clean, dry hair unless your stylist tells you otherwise, and wear a button-up top so you do not have to pull anything over your finished style.
