A note for LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Whatever your hair length, texture or the look you imagine, you can start with a conversation about what suits you rather than what suits a tradition.

Making the most of your appointment

• Bring photographs of the style you want and of your outfit
• Say how much hair you have and any extensions you plan to wear
• Wash your hair the night before unless told otherwise
• Wear a button-up or loose top so nothing is pulled over your hair
• Pack a snack and water for the morning

Planning the timeline

Updos can take longer than many people expect, and a group multiplies that. Ask how long each person will need and who goes first. Allow a margin, since travel, photographs of the getting-ready period and delays all push the morning later.

A trial lets you test the style with your veil, headpiece or hat, and shows how well it holds through a few hours of movement. Take a photograph from several angles.

Where it works

The Washington region is busy, with weddings in city hotels, suburban halls and countryside estates. Ask about parking and how early the stylist can arrive at your venue, and confirm that there is a power outlet and a mirror in the getting-ready room.
