FAQ
For the best results and hair creation on your wedding day I recommend all clients to have their hair washed with two shampoos to remove any build up, pollutants or existing styles on the hair and lightly conditioned, keeping in mind not to over treat the hair as this may cause styles to relax and become weak on the day. This is to be completed the night before or morning of the wedding.
Although you may be extremely excited about playing around with styles for your big day, I highly recommened booking in for a trial closer towards or within three months of the wedding date. This allows plenty of time for you to research and look for hair inspiration and can save you money in the long run when you have finalised many things for your wedding day and know exactly the look you wish to achieved such as dress type, additions of a veil or hair piece, jewelry choice and leaving lots of time in case you find more styles if you change your mind.
This is a very personal choice and also based on style choice and comfortability. Many styles can benefit from hair thickness but it is not always necessary, if this is something you wish to consider please do not hestitate to send photos of your hair style desires and an open discussion can determine whether it is something you wish to use on your wedding day.
If you have considered or are unsure about using a veil as a feature for your wedding day, I suggest bringing it along to your hair trial or to test it in your hair at home before the wedding to make sure placement is correct and it has long wear comfortability for your big day!
Hair trial offer:
1 style: $100 or up to 3 styles: $180 per person
These options are open for experimentation if you are unsure of which style to choose/would suit best or if you also wish to trial your bridal party/bridemaids styles also!

Hair By Holly Gould
I suggest when searching for hair and makeup artists for your big day take the time to look for recent work photographs, reviews and social media and of course for styles the resonate and draw in your similar desires for the creation you want to achieve on your wedding day. You can also always request a trial to experiement.
Can I bring my bridesmaids to my Makeup/Hair trials?
I'm indecisive and need a firm hand to tell me if I look good!
Hair By Holly Gould
Of course the more the merrier, this also leave discussion open for many opinions and suggestions to create the perfect look that you want.
When should I cut and colour my hair before the wedding?
Hair By Holly Gould
I would recommended a time buffer of 1-2 weeks when applying hair colour or getting your haircut before your wedding day, this leaves enough time for colours to settle and time for your haircut to soften to make sure it is exactly what you want for your big day.
