FAQ's
Tandee styling brides hair
How much will a pre-wedding makeup and hair trial cost?
All trials are £45 per person per service so £90 in total if you are having both your Barnet & Boatrace attended to.
Where does the pre-wedding makeup and hair trial take place?
As we do not operate from a salon all makeup and hair trials take place informally at home or a hotel venue either in Bournemouth or Poole. We generally carry out makeup and hair trials during the day on a Friday as we tend to get fully booked with weddings at weekends but we will do our best to accommodate you if you are only available during evenings or weekends.
Can I have a pre-wedding makeup and hair trial done at the same time?
Yes, whenever possible we will can carry out the hair and makeup appointment at the same time to give you an idea of the overall look. Alternatively we will carry out two separate appointments one after the other. Please allow up to 1 hour 30mins for your hair and makeup trial. Some brides like to also arrange their trial on the same day as their dress fitting.
Can I bring a bridesmaid or friend to the wedding makeup and hair trial?
Yes as long as you confirm with us beforehand due to limitations on space (especially during the Coronavirus pandemic). It's always good to get a second opinion and you could always book them in for a makeup trial or hair trial as a treat too!
Should I wash my hair and cleanse my face beforehand?
It's best to come to the trial with "day old" hair so we recommend you wash your hair the day or evening before.
Freshly cleansed and moisturised skin works best too. If possible, use a gentle exfoliator the day beforehand too.
I don't live near Bournemouth or Poole and it's difficult to arrange time off work to have my wedding makeup and hair trial, what do you suggest?
No problem at all. We are used to dealing with brides who don't live locally and can do a full consultation via the phone, or a virtual trial on FaceTime, Zoom or even email instead. We have been known to carry out trials the day before the wedding at your hotel venue or parents home.
How will I ensure my makeup stays on all day and my hair lasts all night?
A great skincare and hair routine always helps and we can offer you specialist advice at your trial. However if this isn't possible fear not as we will use the strongest of hairsprays and plenty of pins if you are having an up do. For your makeup we always select the correct moisturiser for your skin type, a suitable primer, foundation and set this all with a light powder as well as a setting spray. If you decide that you'd like a different look for the evening it may be possible for us to return and carry out a restyle or we can always give you some tips on how to transform the look from day to night.
You will also have the choice to purchase the same fabulous products used at your wedding makeup trial to touch up your makeup for later on in the day.
How many makeup artists and hair stylists will I need to get us all ready in time?
We usually allocate one hair stylist and one makeup artist to keep the flow of the morning running smoothly. However, if you have more than 6 people in your bridal party we may need to allocate a second stylist/makeup artist depending on what time you all need to be ready for - but don't worry, we organise all of this as part of the service.
Do you do makeup and hair styling for hen parties?
Yes we certainly do. This can be a really fun way for everyone to get to know each other before the big day.
