Questions?

• How far in advance should I book with Bombshell Hair Design?

  We recommend you book at least 4 months in advance for on-location services. If you are getting married during “wedding season” (May-October), consider booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Saturdays book up quickly, as do long weekends.

  For in-studio trials, it is recommended that you book 6-8 weeks ahead.

• How long is each appointment?

  We typically book 1 hour for hair and 45 minutes for makeup. This may vary based on your desired look, and how much hair you have to work with. Please contact us in order to do an in-depth consultation which will allow us to better estimate a timeline. For most weddings, you will have one makeup artist and one hairstylist present, allowing us to work simultaneously to get things done in a timely fashion. If you have a particularly large group, or a tight timeline, a larger team may be required.

• What area is covered by your mobile services?

  Our packages cover locations within 35km of our studio (283 Parkin Cir.) We may be able to travel to you if you are outside this area for an additional fee.

• What sort of an environment is required for you to perform on-location services?

  We come prepared with all the necessary tools of our trade. We do ask that you provide us with a well-lit area in which to work (natural light is best), a medium sized table in close proximity to an outlet, and 2 stools or armless chairs.

• We are a two-bride couple, can you accommodate us?

  Of course! Costs can add up fast with two brides, so we also offer a custom 2-bride package at a small discount. Please ask us about it!

• How do I prepare myself for hairstyling?

  The sooner you begin preparing your hair for your big day, the happier you will be with the end result.

   

  Have your hair freshly trimmed. If you colour your hair, aim to have it refreshed about a week in advance. If you are planning to include extensions or additions in your look, please let us know before your scheduled appointment.

   

  On the day of, please wash & condition your hair, and do not add any additional styling products. It is important that your hair is thoroughly air-dried, or fluff-dried with a blow-dryer. It is important that each member of your group be wearing something that is comfortable & easy to remove. Nothing wrecks a glamourous look like trying to pull a t-shirt over your head! If your dress must go on over your head, you should be wearing it before we begin.

   

  If you wish to include any sort of hair accessories, please show them to your stylist before she begins.

• How do I prepare myself for makeup?

  The sooner you begin preparing your skin for your big day, the happier you will be with the end result.

   

  Make sure you cleanse and moisturize your skin on a regular basis leading up to your date.  Don’t forget to stay hydrated, as great skin comes from within.  Moisturize your lips with a good lip balm overnight.  Any facial waxing should be completed 3 days in advance.   Past the 3 day mark, plucking and threading are best for hair removal.

  
  On the day of, please have your skin washed, moisturized and completely free of makeup.  If you wear contact lenses, please put them in before makeup starts.  It is important that each member of your group be wearing something that is comfortable & easy to remove.  Nothing wrecks a glamourous look like trying to pull a t-shirt over your head!  If your dress must go on over your head, you should be wearing it before we begin.

• What else can I do on my end to make things run smoothly?

  Please look for photos of the type of hair and makeup looks you want to achieve, and have them handy.  Pictures are often better than words for communicating this type of thing.
