WEDDING TRIALS:
DO YOU RECOMMEND A TRIAL?
We highly recommend the bride has a hair, makeup and lash trial with MAVEN before the Wedding Day. It gives us, as stylists, the opportunity to meet you in person and best understand your personal style, wedding theme and create the hair and makeup look you'd like to achieve for your Wedding Day. It also gives us a feel for your individual hair and skin needs - eg: if you need hair extensions with your hair style and what ones to buy, hair and skin prep advice leading up to your day so your hair and skin are in the best condition, product and treatment recommendations etc.
We use this time to offer any advice and answer any questions you may have. Your trial with us is about trying the hair style and makeup look you've chosen, then when we've finished you can decide what changes you'd like to make so we can perfect the look for you. It is a collaboration of your ideas along with our recommendations - this is where our expertise come into play and then we can create a plan of action for your Wedding day.
WILL THE WEDDING DAY LOOK EXACTLY AS THE TRIAL DID?
At the trial we use minimal hair products in case of any changes, we also assess your hair to determine whether your chosen style requires setting, extensions and volume. On the wedding day we use more products, set the hair, letting it cool down naturally to create volume, or a sleeker final look.
Everyone’s interpretation of makeup is different, at the trial we determine what makeup look and style you'd like to achieve, focusing on your desired skin coverage, eye colours and whether you want subtle or a smoky look, contouring the face and what lip colour will suit your look. At the trial we can add, take away and change anything, so on the wedding day your makeup will be a more refined look of what we both achieved, discussed and agreed on as your final look.
HOW LONG IS A TRIAL?
We book 1 hour for hair and the same for makeup. If you are unsure and would like to try
more than one style we suggest booking you in for a second trial.
WHERE DO YOU DO THE TRIAL?
We have a beauty studio GLAMROOM in Paremata where we do our Hair and Makeup trials - 17 Paremata Road, Bridgeroad Complex (next to Curves Gym), which you are welcome to come to. We are a fully mobile styling service and can come to you for your trial appointment as well, so if you'd prefer us to come to you for the trial please let us know.
If you would like Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions please make a separate booking prior to the Hair and Makeup trial, as that is a 2 hour appointment.
WHEN TO DO A TRIAL?
We recommend 2-8 weeks before your wedding date to ensure you have a clear idea of the look and style you want.
BOOKING YOUR TRIAL:
We are available for hair trials from Tuesday through to Thursday - morning is preferred because of the lighting.
We do not trial on weekends because we are on-location doing Weddings. Please allow 2 hours for your hair and makeup trial with us.
HOW TO PREPARE:
Collect looks of hairstyles you like that match your own hair colour, length and thickness.
Collect makeup looks of similar skin tones and eye shapes is always helpful for us as stylists to recreate the look you'd like us to achieve for you.
We love Google images, Pinterest and some Instagram pics (not the ones too retouched)
On trial day please have a makeup free face. Clean dry hair, Washed the day before the trial and left in its natural state-
without any products or heated styling tools used.
SEMI-PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY LASHES
If you've never had semi-permanent lashes before, we highly recommend you trial these before your Wedding day. The appointment takes 2 hours and can be done before your Hair and Makeup trial, but please keep in mind that you will need a 4 hour booking with us that day. Semi-Permanent Lashes are done at our Beauty studio GLAMROOM in Paremata - 17 Paremata Road, Bridgeroad Complex (next to Curves Gym). If you'd like to opt for temp lashes with your Makeup, these can be trialled with your makeup trial and take 10 minutes to apply. We highly recommend temp lashes as an alternative to semi-permanent lashes. Temp lashes can be tailored to look natural or glam or a bit of a combination to make your eyes stand out, especially in your photos.
HAIR PIECES AND VEILS
If you are thinking of having a veil and hair pieces, please have them with you at the trial. This way you can see your complete look. Don’t fret if you haven’t found "the one", as we can have a chat about what to recommend for the look you are wanting.
