Step 4 - Wedding Trial
Explore Your Perfect Look
Book your hair trial in for 8-24 weeks ahead of your big day. This allows time to experiment with two styles during our 1.5 hour session.
I recommend you to book your trial with as much notice as possible, I do get booked up quickly.
Come prepared with a selection of images that inspire you.
Trials are a vital step in personalising your look, ensuring every detail aligns with your unique style, making everything more tailored to you.
This dedicated time allows us to address uncertainties, ensuring you feel confident and relaxed on your wedding day.
The Experience
I believe every moment should be an experience, a memory. That’s why I’ve transformed my trial services into an exciting part of your wedding. Trials are to take place in my salon in Appledore, Kent.
What to Expect
When arriving, please bring along any jewellery, inspiration pictures, hair accessories, hair extensions, and your veil. If you don’t have these items or are unsure, don’t worry – I have a selection we can experiment with to help visualise your perfect look. Then you can order after your trial. I can also recommend suppliers.
Bring up to 2 people with you.
Bridesmaids can also book a trial if needed. If you wish to bring more people, please let me know when booking.
Upon arrival, you’ll have the salon all to yourself. You can choose the playlist to create the perfect atmosphere for your experience, whether it’s a chilled vibe or a party vibe – I’ve got you covered. Enjoy non-alcoholic bubbles and a sweet treat. If bubbles aren’t for you, I have a variety of drinks to choose from.
During your trial expect a little surprise.
I’ve thought of everything to ensure this is a memorable and enjoyable part of your wedding journey.
Step 5 - The Schedule
Let’s Keep Connected
One month before your big day, I’ll confirm all the details and plan your morning schedule for you and your wedding party.
This is the perfect opportunity for any last minute adjustments, addressing queries, and ensuring every aspect aligns with your expectation.
Think about whether you want photos of you and your bridesmaids on the morning. We can schedule this into your day.
Rest assured, I’m here to provide clarity and support during the final stretch.

Hidden Gems
A few frequently asked questions, because extras should always be enjoyable
1. What will it cost?
Trials are done within the salon and start from £85 for brides. On your wedding day prices start from £105 for the bride. These prices are for 2025, but please book in your free consultation to discuss your wedding in more detail, where we can create a personalised plan for you and your wedding party.
2. Why Do My Contracts and Terms Arrive in the Post?
My terms and conditions arrive in the post because everyone loves receiving something special in the post. There’s a delightful extra touch to make you feel pampered whilst reading.
3. How Should I Prep My Hair for the Trial?
No need to worry, I’ve got everything covered for you before your wedding hair trial. This comes with an extra special touch because I don’t do things by halves. This guidance is provided exclusively to brides, but I will also send you an image to share with your bridal party so they know how to prepare if they are having a trial too.
4. What Makes My Trial Experience Unique?
My trial experience is designed to be enjoyed with two people. It’s not just about trying out hairstyles – it’s about creating a memorable experience. We can adjust the music, enjoy some lovely refreshments, and bring your vision to life. I’ve got everything covered to make this moment truly special.
5. How Do I Prep My Hair for the Wedding Day?
I’ve got you covered again, Emily-style, with a night-before-the-wedding hair prep box. This is exclusively for brides, but I’ll also provide an image for your bridal party so they know what to do. You can purchase additional hair prep boxes as gift boxes for your bridesmaids if you wish. On your wedding day, you’ll also receive a box to help you remove and care for your hair, ensuring you’re looked after every step of the way. This box is exclusively for brides but can be purchased for anyone in the bridal party. I also try to capture some pictures and videos of you and your bridal party in the morning to send to you after the wedding, preserving those special morning moments.
6. Will you come to where I am getting ready?
Yes! I travel to you on your wedding day. Trials are at my salon, in Appledore, Kent.
7. Do you offer makeup?
I do not offer makeup services, but I know some incredibly talented suppliers, so if you are stuck on a makeup artist, photographer, florist, or other suppliers that you are looking for, I can recommend.
8. Where will the hairdresser and makeup artist set up?
The makeup artist will set up closest to the window for natural lighting. I will set up near electrical sockets. I do bring an extension lead. Clearing space near windows and the electric socket is helpful. Both the hairstylists and makeup artists will need table space.
9. What should I expect during the service?
Each appointment will begin with a thorough consultation. I provide hair touch ups after styling to ensure everyone feels great. Once everyone is looking and feeling fabulous, then I will pack up and head out.
