Trial, skincare, colour, manicure: the beauty countdown to be ready on the big day.

Wedding season in Quebec runs from May to October, and good professionals are booked early. Here is the beauty timeline to follow to avoid stress.

Six months before: book your professionals

Contact your hairstylist and makeup artist as soon as the date is set. Check whether they travel to your getting-ready location and their travel fees.

Two to three months before: the trial

Bring photos of your dress, your dream hairstyle and your accessories. The trial lets you adjust the style and measure the time needed.

The month before

  • Facial (no new treatment in the last week)
  • Colour or balayage three weeks before
  • Waxing one week before
  • Lash extensions or lift a few days before

The day before and the big day

Manicure the day before, a full night's sleep and hydration. In the morning, arrive with clean, dry hair and no product, unless your stylist says otherwise.
