A six-month bridal beauty timeline

Six months out

Start any skin treatment course now. Brightening and texture work builds over sessions; a single facial two weeks before the wedding cannot do what six months of steady care can.

If you are growing your hair, this is when a trim schedule starts — counterintuitive, but ends that are trimmed regularly grow better than ends left alone.

Three months out

Book the trial. Bring a photo of the dress, your veil or hair accessories, and any jewellery you plan to wear. We photograph the look in daylight and under flash and write down every product.

Settle on your hair colour now, not later. A colour that needs correcting is a much bigger job than one that needs refreshing.

One month out

Final colour appointment. Any lash extensions or lash lift should be tested now so you know how they wear on you over three weeks.

Two weeks out

Nothing new. No new products, no first-time treatments, no experimental facials. This is the fortnight for the things you have already tested.

Book the Moroccan bath for around ten days before — long enough for skin to settle completely.

The week of

• Brows shaped three to four days before, not the day before.
• Manicure and pedicure two days before.
• Sleep, water, and no last-minute additions.

The day

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless we have told you otherwise, and a face free of product. Everything else is our job.
