There are a million and one things to organise about when you’ve said “YES” to a marriage proposal. Hair, makeup and fake tan are some of the more glamorous things to do and one’s we are focusing on today! Here’s a checklist just for you to help plan your perfect wedding!

1. Take some ideas of potential wedding hair to your stylist or salon, plus photos of your wedding gown. This enables your stylist to plan your look to suit the dress and create a unique schedule for you and your hair leading up to your big day. This will include cuts; colours and conditioning treatments to get your hair in tip top condition.

2. It is essential to take a camera to ALL your bridal appointments, this way you can keep a record of what works and what doesn’t. This enables you time to look at your photos privately and decide on a look that you’re totally happy with. When going to your fittings, whether it is for your dress, your hair, your make up or your flowers; bring with you as much information as possible. This allows your chosen specialist to build up a complete picture of how your day will look and feel.

Another great tip – Show the stylist your veil, headdress and any other accessories this way they can develop a style to suit all these elements.

3. Have a style already in mind? Consult your stylist about how you can prepare to achieve this, whether is be specific products, hair extensions or hairpieces make sure you give yourself enough time to achieve your desired look.

4. Wanting longer hair? A growing spree should commence at least 12 months before your wedding day; this also gives you enough time to train your hair. If you still need help, hair extensions are an option. Hair extensions not only can add extra length, but volume and extra colour too!

Tip – Wella SP Balance Scalp shampoo, Wella SP Balance Scalp Serum, Wella SP Hydrate Conditioner and Moroccan Oil treatment can all be used to aid hair fuller hair growth. Patrick Cameron has a fantastic range of hair pads and pieces to help accentuate fuller ‘up-do’ styles.

5. Worried about the cost of your hair? You can become a hair model for salons that are advertising. This way you can try out lots of different haircuts and colours to find your desired look. You don’t need to look like a model to be a model and the work is always supervised and at a smaller fee.

6. Don’t forget to book for the BIG day in advance as we can get booked up, especially in summer time!

7. Get a timeless colour that you will always look back on and adore. Book a consultation with your hair stylist/hair colourist to try help you decide. Once you have your chosen look maintain it! Use products to lock in that colour and keep your hair looking vibrant and shiny. Wella SP Colour Shampoo helps prevent fading and Wella SP Colour Conditioner locks the colour in. Wella also do Alchemy treatments to prevent hair from fading and also moisturises the hair, the treatment is great value for money as it lasts up to 4 weeks.

8. Don’t forget to try out some fake tans and glow on your special day!

Your wedding went brilliantly, your hair, dress, and make up all looked stunning. You’re now completely relaxed by the swimming pool. Yes, you even need to look after your hair while on your honeymoon. The last thing you want is to look back at your pictures and see dry lifeless limp hair. We recommend some products so this never happens.

• Wella SP After Sun shampoo to remove any residue such as chlorine or sea salt.

• Wella SP After Sun conditioner to moisturise sun stressed hair.

• Moroccan Oil to protect your hair and keep that shinny, healthy look while sun bathing.

• Wella SP hydrate finish,, a leave in-conditioner that detangles and moisturises your hair while you’re in the sun.

• Got curly hair? Your locks will need as much nourishment as possible. Curl cream from the Moroccan Oil range would be a great choice for you.

…And finally remember something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver six pence for your shoe!

We are very pleased now that we have the new Cloud 9 Hair Straighteners that are taking the country by storm, we’ve tested them in our salon and found them to be nothing short of exceptional. We think they are the best hair straighteners to date!

Coming from the people who invented and created GHD hair straighteners but with a twist and a few added extras. The first thing we love about the Cloud 9 straighteners is that you can set the temperature to what you want to style your hair, remember excessive heat and use of it can cause dry hair and most of the time you may not need as much heat as you are using. The good thing about these is that anyone one can use them, for fine hair the temperature will not need to be as much however, for thick and coarse hair the temperature can be turned up as more heat is required to achieve the best result.
