BRIDAL FAQs

Question:
How far in advance should I book my hair and make-up appointment for my wedding day?

Answer:
We recommend that you book your appointment at least three months ahead of time to ensure availability;  however, wedding appointments may be booked up to a year in advance.

Question:
When should I book for my make-up and hair trial run?

Answer:
Trial runs should be booked four to six weeks in advance.  We ask that the bride bring her headpiece and veil to the appointment.

Question:
How should I prepare my hair and skin for the trial run?

Answer:
Please ensure that your hair is clean and completely dry.  This will help save time and enable hot rollers to work effectively.  You should also apply facial moisturizer prior to your appointment so that your make-up goes on smoother.

Question:
What is involved in a SilveryBlue Bridal Trial Run?

Answer:
Our Bridal Trial Runs are very extensive and can involve the mother of the bride and the entire wedding party, if you so choose.

As the bride, you will receive a complete make-up and hair consultation and styling (with headpiece and veil).  We are pleased to provide bridal party members booked for wedding day services with a complimentary make-up and hair consultation.

Question:
How long does a SilveryBlue Trial Run last?

Answer:
The bride should allow herself two to three hours to ensure all her needs are met at the Trial Run.  Bridal party members should allow 2 hours.

Question:
What if I have short hair and want it longer for my wedding. Can you help?

Answer:
We can make all your bridal dreams come true!  We provide hair extensions in a variety of lengths.  If interested, the bride must book for her free consultation with our hair extension specialists prior to her Trial Run.

Question:
Besides bringing in my headpiece and veil to the Trial Run, do I need anything else?

Answer:
It is always helpful when brides and bridal attendants show us photos of hair and make-up styles they like.  Bridal magazines are a great source for these types of photos.

Question:
Can the stylists at the SilveryBlue work with very short hair?

Answer:
Absolutely! Our salon stylists have extensive expertise on all lengths of hair - from very short to very long.

Question:
Must I have a headpiece and veil for my wedding?

Answer:
Nothing is written in stone - the choice is totally yours.  If a bride chooses not to wear a headpiece and/or veil, we have other ways to make you look bridal.  We have helped brides with very short hair, for example, achieve a very elegant look by applying crystal or pearl pins to their hair. You can be sure our stylists will work with you to create the perfect look for your wedding regardless of your individual preferences and requirements.

Question:
Does the SilveryBlue boutique offer headpieces, veils or jewelry for my wedding day?

Answer:
Yes - we sell a beautiful variety of headpieces, veils and jewelry - available in our boutique to save you time searching for the perfect bridal accessories.

Question:
I don't live in your area. Does your Salon offer in-home make-up and hair services for my wedding day?

Answer:
Definitely! We have one of the largest teams of make-up and hair stylists who travel across the GTA, conveniently helping brides and bridal parties at home.  We also offer in-home Trial Runs for your added convenience. Please ask us for details.

Question:
Do I need to take any make-up or hair items with me on my wedding day?

Answer:
As a rule, we always advise the bride to have three important items at her disposal throughout the wedding day, to keep her looking fresh all day:

- Lipstick
- Lipliner
- Pressed translucent powder

Question:
