Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Hair/Makeup Trial?
Yes, Merton highly recommends that all brides undergo a trial before their special day. This ensures that your wedding day look aligns perfectly with your vision. The trial also offers a valuable opportunity for us to get acquainted and collaborate closely on planning your hair or makeup for the wedding day.
What Do I Need for My Makeup or Hair Trial?
Depending on your chosen service, there are a few essential preparations:
- Ensure your hair or face is clean and free of any products.
- Lightly exfoliate and moisturize your skin the night before the trial. Consistency in your skincare routine is advisable.
- If you plan to have a tan for your wedding day, please have one for your trial as well. Your tan can significantly impact the makeup's appearance. Opt for a natural, sun-kissed tan, limiting it to your body, not your face. We'll match your foundation color to your tan.
- Avoid lash extensions or a lash lift/brow lamination, as these can affect makeup application. We prefer starting with eye makeup and concluding with false eyelashes for a fresh canvas.
- Depending on your hair's oiliness, have it washed and dried a night or two prior to your trial or special event.
- Bring inspirational images that showcase your desired hair or makeup style. Ensure these images are selected from Merton's portfolio of work or similar style. Additionally, provide images illustrating how you typically do your own makeup. This helps Merton understand your preferences and desired makeup application.
- If you're a brunette, search for hairstyles suitable for brunettes with similar hair cuts, as blondes may have different textures and appearances in photos.
- Please bring along your hair extensions.
- For the wedding day, please arrange a table near natural filtered light, avoiding direct sunlight.
