Guidelines for Hair Styling Prep Before Your Event

Bridal Hair prep with Sofia Shakir

Serving gorgeous looks at your special event may look easy but there are a lot of preparations to consider for you and your stylist. Read below some guidelines to remember to make your hair styling a nice experience.


• Please think about the kind of hairstyle look you have in mind, if you’re not sure let me know so we can start planning together! You can find inspiration on Instagram, Pinterest and Google as well as my online portfolio

• Send across pics of your hair down too so I can see whether the style you have in mind is achievable and if extensions are required

• Please ensure your hair is washed and dried hair

• When you wash your hair only condition the ends, NOT the roots.

• Please note your stylist will not dry your hair

• If you have coloured hair please use a deep conditioning treatment regularly.

• Please ensure you do not have oil or other products in your hair

• If your hair is naturally frizzy please consider straightening it the day before your treatment

• Please wear your outfit top before your hair and makeup treatment begins

• Please ensure you have all your jewellery, bangles, hair accessories and full outfit to hand at the start of your session

• Please ensure your stylist has access to a chair in front of a mirror and access to plug points

• Please ensure it is just you and I in the treatment room, lots of people in and out can cause disruption, delay and in some cases extra anxiety for you. I want this to be as stress free as possible for you

• Be honest with your artist! If there’s something you don’t like or want to change or add feel confident to just say so. I will do my best to realise your vision and give you a look you will love and feel comfortable in. Your happiness is my absolute priority.
