Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life—and your bridal hair trial is an essential step in making sure you look and feel your best. At Beaumont Beauty, we want every bride to walk down the aisle with total confidence. A successful hair trial ensures your dream hairstyle becomes a reality, without surprises on your big day.

Here’s how to prepare for your bridal hair trial so you can make the most of your appointment:

1. Gather Inspiration Photos

Bring photos of hairstyles you love—Pinterest boards, Instagram screenshots, even red carpet looks. This gives your stylist a visual starting point to understand your taste. Try to find styles that feature hair similar in length and texture to yours for the most realistic results. We recommend not using AI photos as this can be an unrealistic expectation!

Pro tip: Narrow it down to 3–5 favourite looks to avoid overwhelm and help guide the conversation.

2. Know Your Dress Style

Your hairstyle should complement your dress. Is it backless? High-necked? Romantic and flowy or modern and structured? Knowing the neckline, silhouette, and vibe of your gown helps your stylist create a cohesive look.

If your dress has special details (like lace or beading), it’s helpful to show your stylist a photo or describe them at your trial.

3. Bring Your Accessories

Planning to wear a veil, hairpiece, or floral crown? Bring it with you! Accessories can change how a style sits or looks, and your stylist can incorporate them into the design to make sure everything flows seamlessly.

4. Wear the Right Outfit

Wearing a white or light-coloured top with a similar neckline to your dress can help you visualize the final look. Avoid hoodies or high-necked tops, which can interfere with styling and skew your perception of the result.

5. Come with Clean, Dry Hair

Unless your stylist gives specific instructions, come to your trial with clean, dry hair. We usually recommend washing it the night before using a light conditioner, avoiding heavy oils or styling products. This gives your hair the best texture for styling without being too slippery. Shampooing thoroughly or even double shampooing is highly recommended!

6. Speak Up About Your Preferences

This is your time to be honest! Let us know what you love—and what you don’t. If you’re unsure about something, say so. The goal is to make adjustments until you’re 100% happy with your look.

7. Consider the Weather and Venue

If you’re having a beach wedding or an outdoor summer ceremony, humidity and wind could impact certain styles. Share your wedding day details with your stylist so they can tailor the look for both beauty and practicality.

Your bridal hair trial is more than just a test run—it’s a chance to connect with your stylist, refine your vision, and make sure everything is perfect for your wedding day.
