Have the Perfect Hair and Make-up on your Perfect Day

For your Special Day, more than any other time, you'll want to look and feel your best. All eyes will be on you so don't forget the finishing touches that can make you a radiant bride.

There are four elements to your "Beauty Image": Hair, Make-up, Skin care and Hands. It is a good idea to consult professionals in each of these categories in order to ensure you look your very best. Practice makes perfect so be sure to book your consultations in advance! Remember you have a very busy schedule. During your consultations make sure you and the professional have the same ideas and are striving for the same "Look". During these sessions you can make all the necessary changes so that everything will run smoothly on the Big Day.

Skin

To be sure your skin looks perfect consult an aesthetician. An aesthetician is professionally trained in skin care. Stress, busy days and perhaps restless sleep, may cause your complexion to look dull. After an analysis of your skin, your aesthetician will be able to assess your skin's needs and treat your personal skin type. Be sure to make your visits early enough to see results. The benefits of a facial are not only to the skin; it is also a wonderful way to relax! Home care is essential to help maintain the benefits of your facial and your aesthetician will help you with a personalized skin care regimen.

Make-up

There are many things to consider when regarding your Make-up so it is wise to seek the expertise of a make-up artist. She /he will consider your colouring, the style and colour of your gown and bouquet, how you plan to wear your hair and the colours worn by the bridesmaids. Your make-up artist will enhance your natural beauty to ensure you look flawless and polished. In addition she / he will have products that can help your make-up last all day and into the evening. Consider using the services of a make-up artist for mothers and bridesmaids too!

Hair

Be sure to consult with a Hairstylist to select a style that looks best with your body type, gown and headpiece. To ensure that everything is perfect, be sure to book a practice appointment so that you will be able to see how your selected hairstyIe looks with your gown and headpiece.

Hands & Nails

Hand and nails are in the spotlight too! A hand treatment just before the Big Day will assure the softest hands and is a great and well deserved pampering session. Hands properly manicured will finish the look. Today you can always have perfect nails. If not your own, you can repair one or all with artificial nails. A French manicure is classic and always popular. For mothers and bridesmaids, the technician can help choose a polish that compliments everyone. Don't forget the Groom - his hands will draw attention too! Just tell him that's why they're called MAN- icures!

Enjoy a pedicure too; it will pamper your feet and put a spring in your step! Smooth heals and polished toes will give tired feet lots of energy to dance into the night! It's a must if you are heading to a hot honeymoon destination

Professionals take the worry out of wedding preparations. The finishing touches will be time well spent and you'll be a radiant bride from "Head to toe"!
