7 Things to look while booking a Salon for Bridal Services

Anila Rattan

Choosing a perfect salon for your bridal makeup on your D-day is not a cakewalk; after all it’s the most-special day in your life and you want to look the best. You choose a salon that will turn your dreams of looking like a princess into reality on your nuptials.

WedAbout takes a look at what should you look at while choosing the salon for your bridal services

1. Experience of the staff in bridal services

Ask for their portfolio.  The portfolio will give you a good indication of their versatility and style. Will they follow your style requests and welcome input from you?

2. Logistics – distance and mode of travel

Before making the booking of the salon, consider what traveling will be like on the day of your wedding. Make sure you are willing to take the pressure of traveling from one location to another in any kind of traffic.

3. Budget

The amount you spend on your bridal services should never make you feel uncomfortable. There are salons at almost every price point. Allocate a budget. If an amount you’re quoted doesn’t work for you, keep looking.

4. Hygiene of the facility as well as staff

Please keep in mind that your chosen salon observes cleanliness and neatness before and during the services. Scrutinize if they use fresh towels, head-bands, combs along with sterilized blades and needles; as repeated usage of these items can lead to infections and can be otherwise dangerous too.

5. Products used

Professional products will stay fresh looking for many hours longer than most consumer-grade products.

6. Privacy and security

It is very important, that when your bridal make-up is getting done its in an isolated room, rather than the middle of the salon. Other customers visiting the salon shouldn’t be peeping inside or cause any disturbance. Try and find a salon which books one bridal party at a time. This will give you the full attention.

7. Comfort with the Staff that will work with you on the D day

You spend less time with the staff, but they’re running the show while you get ready and get centered. They should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, cared for and confident. They should never force their opinions on you. If you say you don’t like something, they should immediately respond, and try to find something you do love.

Choose the salon where you think you will be the most comfortable and relaxed, after all its your day!
