What to Expect at Your Hair and Makeup
Preview Appointment

Your hair and makeup preview is such an exciting step in your wedding journey. It is the first time you will see your full bridal look come to life and the perfect opportunity to work one-on-one with your lead artist to design a style that feels perfectly you.

At Onsite Beauty Artistry, our goal is to make your preview experience feel relaxed, personalized, and fun while setting the stage for a calm and confident wedding morning.

Here is exactly what you can expect at your preview appointment with us.

​

What is a Bridal Hair and Makeup Preview?

A preview appointment is like a rehearsal for your wedding day beauty. It is a dedicated session where you and your lead artist collaborate to create and perfect the hair and makeup look you envision for your big day.

It gives you a chance to see how everything looks together and ensures that there are no surprises when you walk down the aisle.
You will leave feeling confident, excited, and fully prepared for the wedding morning.

Can I Schedule a Preview Before Booking?

In Washington
Due to the size of our Seattle team and our busy wedding season, we only offer previews to brides who have officially contracted us for their wedding date.
If you are still deciding and want to experience our work first, you are welcome to book a standalone hair and makeup appointment at our Seattle studio.

In Arizona
In the East Valley, we are happy to offer previews to prospective brides before a wedding contract is signed. We would love to meet you and create a trial look that reflects your bridal style.

​

When Should I Schedule My Preview?

We recommend scheduling your preview approximately two to three months before your wedding date. This allows your hair length, color, and skin tone to closely match how they will look on your wedding day. It also gives you time to make any adjustments if needed after the preview.

Previews are available Monday through Thursday at our studios in Seattle and East Valley Arizona.
Weekend appointments are reserved for our booked weddings to ensure our team can fully serve our brides on their special days.

​

What to Bring to Your Preview

To help us create a look that feels true to you and your wedding vision, please bring the following items:

• Inspiration photos for hair and makeup looks you love

• A photo of your wedding dress

• Any hair accessories, veils, or jewelry you plan to wear

• A photo of how you typically wear your makeup day-to-day

Arrive with clean, dry hair and a makeup-free face to give us the best canvas to work with.
The more visual details you can share, the better we can personalize your beauty experience.

​

What Happens During the Preview?

Your preview will begin with a detailed consultation. We will talk through your vision, your wedding details, and any inspirations you want to bring to life.

Your lead artist will then create one full hair and makeup look tailored to your preferences and features. Throughout the appointment, we will make adjustments as needed so you leave feeling 100 percent confident.

This is a collaborative session focused on creating your finalized look. It is not designed to test multiple completely different styles. Our goal is to perfect the beauty direction you are most excited about so that your wedding day morning feels seamless and familiar.

​

How Long Will the Preview Take?

Please allow approximately two and a half to three hours for your preview appointment.
We want to give you plenty of time to consult, create, adjust, and perfect your bridal look without feeling rushed.

​

Why Your Preview Matters

Your preview appointment is so much more than a trial. It is an important part of building trust, connection, and excitement with your artist.
When your wedding morning arrives, you will know exactly what to expect and can step into your day feeling radiant, confident, and calm.

It is also a chance to ensure that your hair and makeup work perfectly with your dress, your venue, and the overall aesthetic of your celebration.

​
