Makeup Bookings

    • Moisturise morning and night in the lead-up to your booking

    • Gently exfoliate during the week so makeup sits smoothly

    • Not sure what skincare to use? Check out my blog for product tips

    • If you’re prone to cold sores, chat to your pharmacist about antiviral options beforehand

    • Skip fake tan on your face, its drying and sits in pores– I’ll match your makeup to your body

    • No facial waxing within 48hrs (tweezing/threading is fine)

    • Avoid harsh facials in the week before (like peels, needling, laser)

    • Don’t get a lash lift if you’d like to wear false lashes

    • Got a breakout? Try not to pick – grab a pimple patch!

    • Please come with a clean face (no makeup)

    • Moisturiser is fine – I’ll do full skincare before we start

    • Have your inspo pics ready to show me

    • Bring a photo of your usual event makeup so I can match your vibe

    • If you get watery eyes, you might want to take an antihistamine beforehand

    • Room: Please set up in a clean, quiet area (not a bathroom or kitchen). A low-traffic spot is best for comfort and to avoid disruptions.

    • Table: A waist-height table with at least 2m² of space is perfect. An 8-seater dining table works great for both hair and makeup.

    • Chair: A high chair or bar stool is ideal for your appointment.

Hair Bookings

    • Wash your hair the night before or the morning of your appointment (not earlier)

    • It's a myth that 'dirty hair' styles better – clean hair is key for volume and long-lasting results

    • Shampoo 3 times to fully remove oils, product, and buildup – hair should feel squeaky clean

    • Apply conditioner to mid-lengths and ends only – avoid the roots to prevent early oiliness and style drop

    • Do not apply any products after washing (no oils, serums, leave-ins, etc.)

    • If using new extensions, wash them 3 times with shampoo only (no conditioner) to remove the silicone coating – this helps them hold a curl properly

    • Wash your hair the morning of your appointment (see shampoo tips below)

    • Arrive with your hair down and dry – no ponytails or buns

    • Wear a loose or easy-to-remove top to protect your finished style

    • Hair must be frizz-free and fully dry (see drying guidelines below)

    • Do not apply any products to your hair after washing

    • If you've booked a pre-styling blow dry, arrive with freshly washed, damp, product-free hair

    • Bring a reference photo of the style you'd like to achieve

    • If you're using extensions, they must be washed and smoothed – especially if new (to remove the silicone coating)

    • If rain is forecasted, please bring an umbrella to keep your hair protected

    • Use the nozzle attachment on your hairdryer with a large brush to smooth the hair and eliminate frizz while drying

    • Please watch this tutorial for guidance on how to properly dry your hair

    • If you're not confident drying your hair, or if it’s prone to frizz, I recommend booking a salon blow dry the afternoon before

    • You can also book me for a pre-styling blow dry, if time allows – just let me know in advance

    • Room: Please choose a clean, low-traffic area with plenty of space to move around. For hygiene reasons, the setup must not be in a bathroom or kitchen.

    • Table: A waist-height surface with at least 2m² of space is ideal. An 8-seater dining table works well for both hair and makeup setups.

    • Chair: A low chair (like a dining chair) is best, preferably with a low back so long hair isn’t obstructed.

    • Mirror: A large mirror is essential so we can clearly see the front of your hair while styling – this helps with balance and symmetry.
