Wedding Season Is In Full Swing!!!

Your "WEDDING DAY" one of the most important days in a girls or guys life! :) It can be such a joyful day but lets be honest, all the preparation before can be a little stressful!! I decided to write my blog on the preparation that takes place on your beauty emphasis prior to a wedding. I am all too familiar with this as I have worked on and with many brides in my profession. Lets talk about the "PREPPING." A girl (or guy) always wants to look their very best on that special day. With all the other costs that go into wedding planning this can be another big piece of that pie! I do and cover most of the beauty deeds so I can speak first hand and give you some tips or ideas that you may or may not have thought of.  Lets begin....... Your hair, if you don't already have a great hairstylist going by referral is a great way to finding one. You can always find someone through the Internet if all else fails. I recommend having a clear vision of what you want to look like on your special day. Cut out pictures of people who resemble you..... your hair color, skin tone in bridal magazines or beauty magazines. A lot of people make the mistake of finding pics that are totally opposite of what they are and in the end not happy with the results. Find pictures that are true to you and realistic. You can find  many hair and make up ideas this way and have something to present to your hairstylist and makeup artist. You should always do  a "run-thru" of your look so that you are happy with the outcome or if needed, make any changes prior to your day. I see most client at least 3 months prior for makeup run thru. Here are some other important steps in prepping.


1. FACIALS- I would start this process 6-8 weeks prior if you are targeting acne or pigmentation issues. A series of peels would help this process. If your skin is overall in good standing you can do a couples week out or the week of. I do a fabulous "Pumpkin Enzyme Peel" here at Damone Roberts that gives the skin a glow and smooths texture for makeup. Great prior to pictures or video!!

2. WAXING- If laser hair removal is not an option I would get a rhythm of waxing going at least 2 months prior. This includes face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area. If you are new to bikini or Brazilian waxing it is important to have a few sessions under your belt to avoid major irritation prior to your big day. This does not happen often but always best to be safe if you are new to waxing or haven't waxed in a while.

3. EYEBROWS- If you have sparse eyebrows or are recovering from a bad brow job it is important to find an experienced brow artist ( like myself) or in your area to transform your brows for your wedding day. Also getting your hands on the right tools such as "BROW GAIN" http://store.damoneroberts.com/categories/Brow-Gain to help the growth process if needed. Your eyebrows are important as they are the backdrop for your face.



All of these services can be done by me here at DAMONE ROBERTS SALON BEVERLY HILLS or on location(makeup/eyebrows) if you are in the Los Angeles Area  or traveling here. I do not do hair styling but can also recommend people. These services if done in series can also be worked out in packaging upon request. Where ever you are make sure you find a person with experience! But most of all when all is said and done ENJOY your special day!! XOXO Maria Thompson
