Tips from Amanda:
💍 You can expect about 30-45 minutes per person per service for hair and makeup planning purposes (be sure to double-check this with your beauty team). If you have 7 people receiving services and 2 hair and makeup artists, you can expect a total of about 4-5 hours for getting ready. Want things to run a little faster? Book a team that offers the luxury of additional artists, so you can spend less time in the hair-and-makeup chair on your wedding morning.
💍 Make sure your hair is dry, dry hair = best results (closest to your inspo pics).
💍 Wedding skin care prep starts at least a month prior; be sure to check out Amanda’s Skincare Guide.
💍 It’s best to steam dresses before the wedding morning, but don’t worry, Tower Suite has one onsite just in case there is a stubborn crease.
💍 Be sure to have a robe or button-down for easy undressing and dressing! We don’t want anything to smudge while you pull a shirt over your head.
