Preparing for your wedding day should be exciting, not stressful. At Beyond the Knot Collective, we believe that feeling beautiful starts with confidence. That's why we're committed to making sure every client, regardless of their skin tone, hair type, or background, feels seen and celebrated. Our inclusive team of wedding hair, makeup, and barbering artists is here to provide onsite services that help you look and feel your absolute best.

In this guide, we'll walk you through why a hair and makeup preview is so crucial and give you our expert tips for getting the most out of your session.

Why a Preview is a Must-Have

Think of your hair and makeup preview as a dress rehearsal. It’s a dedicated time for you to work with your artist, test different products, and perfect your desired look. This session is all about ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in the style that will be captured in your wedding photos forever.

If you're worried about finding an artist who understands your specific needs, a preview is the perfect opportunity to see their skills firsthand. Our team has the expertise to create stunning looks for all complexions and hair types. We believe in an inclusive approach to beauty, and we're dedicated to helping every client feel their absolute best.

Note: Please plan to spend approximately three hours at your preview session to ensure we have plenty of time to perfect your look.

Get to Know Your Artist

Building a relationship with your artist before the wedding is key. When you're comfortable with your stylist and feel at ease expressing your ideas, the collaboration becomes effortless. Your preview is the ideal time to share your vision, discuss your preferences, and ensure you're both on the same page.

Our luxurious services are built on a foundation of trust and open communication. You can expect expert advice, high-quality products, and an unwavering attention to detail. This shared experience will make your wedding day even more special.

Make Changes and Give Feedback

The preview is your chance to experiment and make changes. Don't be afraid to speak up! We are here to accommodate any adjustments you want. Whether you're unsure about a certain lip color or a particular hairstyle, we won't hesitate to make adjustments until you feel completely satisfied.

We want your feedback! We encourage you to be honest about your experience so we can make sure everything is perfect for the big day.

Test Your Look All Day Long

After your preview appointment, we recommend wearing your hair and makeup for the rest of the day. Take pictures, go about your day, and see how the style holds up. This "full-day test" will give you peace of mind and help you feel confident that your look will last through the ceremony, reception, and a full night of dancing.

Our team uses high-quality products and techniques designed for longevity. You can trust that your hair and makeup will stay flawless, no matter the weather or the dance floor.
