Salon Services Before Your Wedding Day

One of the best things about getting married is the trip to the salon right before the wedding. Many women spend an entire day at the salon or spa with their bridesmaids and enjoy getting pampered. If you have upcoming nuptials, here are some tips for getting the most out of your salon or spa experience.  If you are planning on spending a long period of time at the salon, ask the salon owner if they would mind if you could bring in finger-foods for the bridal party.

Trial Updo & Make-up – You may consider having your hair and makeup done before your big day.  One thing that would be a great idea is when you have your trial done plan a fantastic night out.  This would be the first thing to book.  This way you are completely confident with the salon and happy with the stylist that will be creating the perfect updo and makeup for you.

Manicure- If your nails are not what you would like them to be, you may wish to have acrylic nails or tips applied. If your nails are already beautiful but don’t hold polish, have a Shellac Manicure or Gelish Manicure.  Both will last amazingly!  This is a polish-like coating that is applied over your natural nails.  Length cannot be extended with this service but if you are lucky enough to have your own nails; this is a great option! Opt for a light color or a French Manicure.  Some brides even chose to wear one of the beautiful colors that are found in their bouquet!

Pedicure- Many brides prefer to wear open- toed shoes, so a pedicure is a must. Make sure your feet are soft and free of any calluses, as well.  Shellac or Gelish pedicures are also highly recommended and instantly are dry.  There is no wait time so the chances of messing them up is almost non-existent.

Facial- If you have problematic skin, you may wish to visit a dermatologist in order to have a glowing complexion. There are several salons that offer microdermabrasion and glycolic peels. If you wish to have this treatment, make sure you schedule a few peels before your special day.

Back Facial- So many of today’s wedding dresses leave the bride’s back exposed. Many salons offer exfoliating, cleansing, and toning treatments for the back and shoulders.

Tanning- Just in case you become a little sunburned, you want to make sure you have time to recover.  Tan gradually.  You do not want to wait until the last minute to hit the tanning beds and burn!

Facial & Body Waxing- As you know, waxing can sometimes irritate the skin. Get your waxing session completed a couple of days prior to the wedding, so you won’t have any redness or irritation.

Consider a massage for your bridesmaids and yourself. This can be a terrific bonding experience and will give you and your friends some much needed relaxation.

Book a body wrap. If you are looking to lose a few inches this is a worthy treatment to have.  It definitely makes a difference immediately following the service… Wraps are recommended in a series so start planning a few weeks before your big day!

Remember…. This is the biggest day of your life!  Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy… Don’t let the little things that really don’t matter (and nobody will remember) affect the joy of this special time in your life!
