We love to hear from you, and we love to help in any way possible, but please be patient with inquiries! During off season (October-March) we are not always near internet, and during high season we are so busy that we don’t always get a chance to respond to emails on the same day! Thank you so much for your understanding in advance!
If you would like to add a blow dry to your event style, let us know and we can ensure a polished, full bodied style at the additional cost of $80. If you prefer to prep the hair yourself, please dry completely the day of or evening before using appropriate products. For a full bodied look with height, use a volumizing product, and dry hair upside down, we want volume at the root! For a smooth look, use appropriate products and dry in the direction of your hair cuticle. Please avoid a flat iron pre-appointment, and NO PONYTAILS please! If your hair has flattened overnight, from sleeping on it, or being tied into a ponytail, no amount of styling magic will help us get lift to greasy, flat hair. The myth of ‘dirty hair’ styling better refers to a time when hair was rarely washed, and accumulation of hairspray and product gave the clean hair some texture. Products have come a long way now to build that same gritty texture, and as you can imagine, you will never see greasy hair as the foundation for a beautiful red carpet look. Please pass this info on to your group, and let them know to have dry & prepped hair upon our arrival time as well. This ensures that if we need to pre-set some hair in rollers or curls, everyone is ready to go! At the end of the day, you know your hair best. If you know that day 3 hair is your ‘sweet spot’, then that’s what works best for you. We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding any of these details!
We’ve worked for years perfecting looks in our particular climate. We are lucky here in Tofino to be situated within a temperate rainforest, teeming with life and energy, not to mention storms, high winds, rain and humidity. We have complete confidence in all of the styles we build, based on the particular weather we’re blessed with that day. We know what type of hair will hold what style, and how to best set you up for your look to last as long as possible.
Once you’ve paid your deposit, we will begin our consultation process from afar, going over inspiration looks you have in mind, as well as what is actually possible with your own hair type, texture and length.
In regards to trials, we rarely do them, and continue to have incredible success with every one of our brides. Given the nature of our location, we don’t often get to meet brides beforehand, therefore we’ve become very adept at working together from afar in the months leading up to your big day. We have weddings booked nearly every day of the season, so chances are slim that we would even have space to accommodate trials as well. Timing is never rushed on your wedding day, allowing us plenty of time to nail the look. Weddings are the bulk of what we do, we’re extremely specialized in it. We’re able to adjust whatever needs to be changed if you’re not liking your style or makeup. We build your look with you completely interactively, and don’t take it personally WHATSOEVER when you have feedback and suggestions, making it a very comfortable environment to get exactly what you want, even if you don’t know how to articulate what it is you’re looking for.
We recommend you have your own lip colour, you will want it on hand later for touchups. Don’t be afraid to pick a pigment with depth… you don’t want to wash out in the photos. Your best bet is to consult a makeup artist at a counter close to home, and work with them to pick a shade you’ll like.
We offer the application of lashes to create a stunning ‘doe-eyed’ effect. We have an array to choose from, natural to runway, or just go with a few singles on the corners.
Please exfoliate, tone and moisturize prior to your appointment. Or better yet, treat yourself to a pre-wedding facial in the days leading up to your wedding. And the most important piece…. drink ALL the water you can!
