Say 'I Do' to the Perfect Hair: Your Wedding Hair Timeline
So, you’ve said yes to the dress, the venue is booked, and now it’s time to tackle one of the most important parts of your wedding day: your hair! If you’re in Charlotte, NC, and planning a wedding, you’re in luck. Luxe & Co Hair Studio is here to help you navigate your wedding hair timeline so you can look as stunning as you feel.
Start Planning Early
Let’s face it: planning a wedding is no small feat, and your hair should be at the top of your priority list. Ideally, you’ll want to start planning your wedding hair about 6-12 months before the big day. This may seem like an eternity, but it gives you plenty of time to explore styles, book appointments, and potentially make changes.
6-12 Months Before Your Wedding
- Research Styles: Pinterest is your best friend here. Create a board for wedding hair inspiration and start pinning styles that catch your eye.
- Consult with a Stylist: Schedule a consultation with a stylist at Luxe & Co to discuss your vision. This is where we can help you figure out the best styles for your hair type, length, and wedding theme.
- Start Treatments: If you’re thinking about color, balayage, or any treatments to enhance your hair’s condition, now is the time! This way, your hair will be in top shape when the big day arrives.
3-6 Months Before Your Wedding
- Finalize Your Style: By this point, you should have a good idea of what hairstyle you want. Bring your Pinterest board to your stylist and have a detailed chat about your options.
- Book Trial Appointments: Schedule a hair trial to see how the style looks with your dress. Trust us; you want to avoid any surprises on your wedding day!
- Consider Hair Extensions: If you’re dreaming of long, luscious locks for your wedding day, now is the time to look into extensions. They can add volume and length for that wow factor.
1-3 Months Before Your Wedding
- Confirm Appointments: Make sure you’ve booked your wedding day appointment and any final adjustments needed for your hair.
- Finalize Your Hair Trial: If you didn’t get a chance to finalize your style in the previous phase, do it now. A good stylist will help you make any last-minute tweaks to ensure you’re confident on your big day.
- Check Accessories: Whether it’s a veil, flowers, or a hairpiece, make sure you have all your accessories ready for the final look.
1 Week Before Your Wedding
This is crunch time!
- Final Hair Appointment: If you need a fresh cut or color boost, schedule your last appointment. But remember, don’t make any drastic changes this close to the wedding!
- Prepare for the Day: Have a clear understanding of what time you need to be ready and how long your stylist will need. Make sure to communicate this to your bridal party, too!
On the Day of the Wedding
It’s finally here! Relax and enjoy the process. Remember to have a light breakfast and hydrate (great hair starts from the inside out). Trust your stylist, and remember that you’re going to look stunning no matter what!
