Should You Do Hair or Makeup First?

Hello, I have a quick question about the hair and makeup schedule for my big day. I’m still deciding if I need to get my hair done as well, or if I should just go with makeup.
Hi, Olivia! Thanks for reaching out! Hair and makeup will be scheduled based on the final list of who’s receiving each service, so no pressure—if you think you would want to schedule a time now, please let me know; if necessary, we can change our plans later. It's okay if you just need cosmetics. Tell me how you want to proceed!

Got it!.
I want to do the hair and makeup.
Ok. I just got the notes for this year—I’m not taking any bookings for 2026 yet. Start scheduling for next year after New Year, so just let me know then, and I'll spot you on the calendar!

I see. I really appreciate any tips or suggestions. I just want to make sure everything goes smoothly and looks great in the end! My workplace will give me a cooperative on December 22; this year, I have to be ready by 5 p.m.

We have a time for your visit, so be assured that everything will be ideal. You can check our portfolio and reviews.
Also, I'm unsure of the customary sequence—should I do my hair first, followed by glam, or both at once?

Great question — and you’re definitely not alone in wondering about this! Typically, we recommend having your hair styled before, just to avoid any possible smudging or movement of the makeup from heat or hands during styling.

Ah, that makes sense. I was worried the heat from the curling iron might mess up my foundation.
There’s a bit of flexibility depending on timing and your look, but generally, starting with hair helps everything run smoother. Once your hair is set, we can go in with makeup without worrying about touching or smudging anything.
Got it. And what if we’re doing touch-ups later—should we plan for that after both are done?

Definitely. I’ll stay until everything’s finished, and we can do any final touches right before you head out. If you need assistance making a decision, let me know; I can offer some suggestions based on your vision.
