A Hair & Makeup trial is a crucial step in a Bride's edding preparation journey, ensuring she feels confident and radiant on her special day and in turn me as your stylist am confident with the styles we've chosen for your special day. This peersonalised session allows us both to collaborate and experiment on the hair & makeup looks you envision. it provides an opportunity to fine-tune details, from makeups colours to hairstyle tweaks, ensuring everything compliments your dress and overall aesthetic. Additionally, a trial reduces the risk of last-minute surprises, allowing every Bride to envision the complete look well ahead of the big day. Overall, a hair & makeup trial not only enhances the Bride's piece of mind but also contributes to a seamless and joyful wedding experience.
This varies depending on aspects of the morning of, however in general we allow 1 hour per person per service.
I do like to allow up to 1.5hours per service for the bride however as this gives the bride more time to relax and enjoy the 'getting ready' process.
Should bridal party members have extra long or thick hair though, this will be factored into the wedding day HMU schedule so that we have everyone ready in time to get dressed.

Get Expert AdviceBest hairstyles for an older bride
Hello. I'm an older bride getting married for the second time. I'd like some advice please on hairstyles that suit mature brides. My hair is medium length. Many thanks.
Makeup by Mir
Hi there,
Firstly congratulations.
I would suggest the following as options to consider for your wedding hairstyle:
Do you wear your hair out or up daily?
If out, then I would suggest a soft wave to keep you looking like yourself without being too formal.
If you tend to wear your hair up alot you can either opt for a soft low bun or the latest Pamela Anderson updo which is effortless and simple while being timeless.
Depending on the theme of your wedding will help a hairstylist assist in selecting the right hairstyle for your special day, factors that also come into play is the neckline of your dress, style of dress and whether you will wear a veil or any hair accessories in your hair.
A hair trial with your preferred hairstylist would also be beneficial to try a few styles so you can see what wear well with your look and feel.
I hope this helps you a little towards finding the right hairstyle for you.
What's a rough timeline for hair and makeup on the day?
Hi there. Would love a rough timing guide for my hair and makeup. I've got 4 bridesmaids, plus me, and my mum. We are staying at a hotel nearby the wedding venue and the ceremony starts at 5pm. Thank you!
Makeup by Mir
I allow an hour per person for hair and the same for makeup. Working alongside a colleague we work on one person each at a time, one makeup one hair.
We plan time to finish an hour before you need to leave for your ceremony.
With 6 hair & makeups this would be 6 hours plus an extra hour for incidentals.
Hope this helps with your search and planning your schedule for the day.
I want to add some thickness into my hair for my wedding
Hi there, my hair is quite thin and I want to give it some oomph for my wedding. What are some options? I've heard about clip-in extensions. (Bit worried about colour matching?) Any ideas? Thank you.
Makeup by Mir
I personally love clip in hari extensions for any bride to create a fuller look for their big day. I have a brand of extensions in which I have a sample wheel of hair colours to match your hair. Each set of hair extensions come in an 8 piece pack along with a sample piece you can try before you open the packet in case it's not the perfect colour when you receive it. You can always exchange, however I am able to match the colour before choosing your colour. Clip ins also allow you to decide how much fullness you want, whether it's a dolls head of hair by using the whole 8 pieces or if you just need that little addition to an updo by using up to 4 pieces for a fuller bun or upstyle. Hope this helps with your decision for your big day.
