Wedding Hair & Makeup Checklist – Hoboken, NJ

2 - 4 Months Prior to Your Appointment

  • Consultation & Date Hold: Share venue, party size, and timing so we can map your schedule.

  • Trial Planning: Book your trial for ~6–8 weeks before the wedding.

  • Color & Cut Plan: Set a color/gloss plan and trim schedule so your ends are fresh (but not “just cut”) by the big day.

  • Extensions (optional): Decide on clip-ins/hand-tied/keratin if desired; color-match now.

  • Skincare Routine: Start (or simplify) a routine that agrees with your skin; avoid brand-new actives close to the date.

  • Inspo & Accessories: Save 2–5 hair/makeup photos; start shopping for veil, combs, or pins.

1 Month Before

Book Pre-Wedding Services:

  • Hair gloss/color + dust ends: usually 1–2 weeks prior

  • Brow shape/tint: 3–7 days prior

  • Lash lift & tint (if doing): 5–10 days prior

  1. Finalize Party Count & Timeline: Confirm who’s getting what (blowouts, up-dos, makeup) and where (in-salon or on-site Hoboken).

  2. Emergency Kit: Blot papers, lip color, bobby pins, travel hair spray.

1 Week Before

  • Confirm Details: Arrival time, parking, room number/suite, contact phone, and payment method.

  • Accessory Check: Veil, pins, extensions, jewelry packed.

  • Self-Care: Hydrate, sleep, and avoid brand-new skincare. No spray tan on the face within 48 hours if you’re sensitive.

Day Of Wedding

Arrive with:

  • Clean, completely dry hair (no heavy oils/leave-ins; no hot tools that morning).

  • Clean, lightly moisturized face (no waterproof mascara for 24–48 hrs prior).

  • Wear a button-down or wide-neck top to protect the finished look.

  • Bring veil/hair pieces, inspo photos, lip color for touch-ups, and a contacts case if needed.

  • Timing: Plan 60–90 minutes per service; we’ll guide the order (usually hair → makeup → get dressed).

  • Relax & enjoy: Light snack + water help you feel great all day.
