Getting Prepped

What to Bring to Trial

  • Inspo photos & accessories — please wear white
  • Hair extensions (highly recommended for most brides)
  • Have your hair, layers & face-framing pieces trimmed if you’d like front pieces out
  • Please no additional guests — this is a private 1:1 consultation

Skin & Makeup Prep

  • Skin cleansed, exfoliated & dermaplaned (optional)
  • Use your 2 best skin-prep products that won’t disrupt makeup (links below)
  • Minimal SPF
  • Lips moisturized, eyebrows groomed, contacts / eyedrops in before your appointment
  • Eat & brush teeth before glam

Hair Prep

  • Double wash the night before
  • Blow 100% dry — no straightening
  • Minimal product
Curly Hair Girls
  • Favorite frizz-control products are okay, as long as they don’t make hair stiff
  • Blow hair out only if you don’t want to incorporate your natural curls

Wedding Morning

The Getting-Ready Setup

Why Extensions

Extensions For Your Wedding Day

Extensions aren’t just about length — they make a huge difference in how your style holds up and looks, in person & on camera.

01

Fullness

Adds volume and density, so your style looks full and intentional at every angle.

02

Longevity

Styles built on extensions hold their shape through a full day of ceremony, photos, and dancing — extra support & structure for your natural hair.

03

Natural Movement

Less product, more softness. The fullness comes naturally, so nothing feels stiff — your hair, just better.

If Luxy is out of your color, you can also purchase Bellami — giving you two options in case a shade is out of stock.

A Quick Tip

What Length to Get

Hair extensions come in 12″, 16″, 20″, and 24″.

12

Adds volume without much added length — great for short or petite frames.

16

Shoulder-to-collarbone — subtle length + fullness.

20

Ideal for medium-to-long hair wanting a fuller, longer look.

24

Dramatic, waist-length — best if you already have long hair or want major length.
