What advice do you have for brides planning their wedding day beauty?
I advise brides to bring photos of inspiration for their hair and makeup goals along with a photo of their bridal gown and hair accessories or veil with them to their bridal trial. It’s important that the hair and makeup photos match their skin tone and hair color. Be very clear with your stylist regarding your expectations. “Communication is the key to meeting those expectations. “Another great tip is to schedule your trial prior to a dress fitting, your bridal shower, or Bachelorette celebration.

What trends do you see coming for the 2021/2022 bridal seasons?
The bridal hair trends this season are more sleek and sophisticated. Think classic, elegant, and romantic. Hair and makeup trends also follow the bridal dress trends where we are seeing more lace, long sleeves, and more traditional, elegant styles.
What is your favorite part of working with brides and their families?
Our favorite part of being a part of our brides’ wedding day are the special relationships we build with them. It is an honor to be a part of this monumental day in their lives. We are not just there to do our beautiful work, we build relationships that last decades. “We are a part of their families and they are a part of ours.”

How should brides contact you if they would like to book One Salon and Bridal Company for their wedding day beauty? How far in advance should they book you? What aspects of wedding planning should brides do before contacting you?
Brides typically contact us through our website. They fill out our intake form and our bridal Coordinator walks them through the process, scheduling their bridal trial and setting up their time line for their wedding day hair and makeup.
We suggest setting up their contact with us no less than 6 months prior to their wedding day. Due to the pandemic the next few years are going to be our busiest bridal seasons ever, so the sooner the better.
We recommend setting up your bridal contract with us once you have your wedding venue reserved and have chosen your wedding gown. We will also need to know how many are in your wedding party and what services they will be having done from our salon. That way we can reserve the number of stylists, and makeup artists we need to accommodate your bridal party and timeline.
We absolutely adore our Brides!
