Why Wedding Hair & Makeup Trials Are a Must for Your Big Day

When it comes to planning a wedding, there’s no such thing as being too prepared—especially when it comes to your hair and makeup. At Revamp Salon Company in Saskatoon, we specialize in bridal services that are as unique as each bride we work with. One of the best ways to ensure everything goes smoothly? A wedding hair and makeup trial. Trust us—it’s a game-changer.

Are Wedding Trials Really Necessary?

Short answer? Yes. Here’s why:

A hair and makeup trial is your chance to try out your bridal vision before the big day. It gives you and your stylist time to experiment, tweak, and perfect the look until it feels just right. That soft updo you pinned might not suit your face shape the way you imagined. Or maybe your favorite makeup palette looks different in natural light. A trial takes out the guesswork so your wedding morning is calm, confident, and exactly how you dreamed it would be.

When Should You Book Your Trial?

We recommend scheduling your trial 2 to 6 months before your wedding day. If you’re someone who likes to plan ahead or tends to be particular with your beauty looks, lean toward the earlier side of that timeline. This gives plenty of room to schedule multiple trials, should you want to explore a few different options or refine the final look.

Booking early also ensures you lock in your preferred bridal stylist at Revamp Salon Company—and during busy wedding seasons in Saskatoon, spots can fill fast!

What Should You Bring to a Hair & Makeup Trial?

To get the most out of your appointment, come prepared! Here’s what to bring:

• Inspiration photos: Pinterest boards, Instagram screenshots, even red carpet looks—show us what you love.

• A top with a similar neckline to your dress: This helps you visualize how the hairstyle or makeup will work with your overall bridal style.

• Photos of your dress, veil, and accessories: These details can influence the overall vibe of your look.

• Makeup you love or wear daily: If you’re attached to a certain lip color or foundation, bring it! Your makeup artist can incorporate it into the final look.

Tips for a Stress-Free Trial Experience

• Be honest. This is a judgment-free zone. If something doesn’t feel like you, let your stylist know. We want you to feel comfortable and confident—not like you’re wearing a costume.

• Take photos in different lighting. Snap a few selfies inside and outside to see how the look translates across settings.

• Wear your hair and makeup around for the rest of the day. This will show you how well it holds up and how it feels after a few hours.

• Ask questions. Want to know how to touch up your makeup or secure your veil? Ask away—we’re here to help.

The biggest goal with any bridal hair and makeup service? That you feel 100% yourself—just elevated. At Revamp Salon Company in Saskatoon, we’re here to bring your vision to life while making sure you’re totally at ease with every detail. That all starts with a trial!
