What To Expect On The Day Of...
I/we will arrive 10 minutes before start time and set up our styling station in one location, all participants will meet us there for appointments. I will need a table and an electrical outlet to plug my extension cord into. When weather permits a relaxing outdoor space is highly recommended.
Help us stay on schedule by having each participant arrive on time with dry hair and clean skin.
Remind all participants to have inspiration photos ready to view.
Remember to wear a button down shirt or robe for styling.
One day unwashed hair is recommended in general. If your hair is fine or prone to becoming greasy you may prefer to wash and dry your hair the morning of the event.
