The preview designs the style. The weeks between the preview and the wedding decide how that style styles — whether the hair that arrives at the getting-ready suite is glossy, elastic, and holds everything we built, or tired, dry, and fighting the tools. The stretch of home care between the two appointments is the least glamorous part of bridal hair and one of the most important.
The trims: a light dusting two to three weeks out, and no closer. Fresh ends style cleanly and photograph sharp; a major cut the week of the wedding is the only haircut we've ever seen a bride regret. If you're growing to a length for the style, we map the trim schedule backward from the wedding at the preview itself.
The masks: once a week, from the preview forward. Hair that's deep-conditioned weekly arrives at the suite with what stylists call elasticity — the ability to hold a set without breaking under it. It's the single highest-return habit in the stretch, and it costs twenty minutes on a Sunday.
The heat discipline: every iron, every blow-dry, every pass protected — no exceptions in the final stretch. And the week of the wedding, the irons go quiet entirely: nothing hot on your hair for the last seven days. Clean, product-free, air-dried is how the week of should feel; your arms get a vacation and your hair arrives virgin to the morning.
The pillow: silk, from tonight. Cotton friction roughs the cuticle overnight, eight hours at a time, all stretch long — the same friction that breaks blowouts is quietly dulling your hair for months before we style it. A silk pillowcase is the laziest beautiful thing a bride can do for herself.
And the one rule with no exceptions: nothing new in the final month. No new colorist, no trending treatment, no rescue product bought off a viral video the week of the wedding. Your routine, your products, your people — the stretch is for protecting what's working, not auditioning something new. If something's genuinely wrong, that's what we're for: call before you improvise.
