Planning for your wedding day is an exciting time filled with new experiences and fond memories. One aspect that is often be overlooked is the bridal hair preview, aka the hair trial. Many artists use this term “bridal hair preview” because you are trying out the style, not the stylist. Most artists only allow booked brides access to a “hair trial.” The reasoning behind this is that you run the possibility of another bride booking your wedding day before you put down the retainer(deposit), even though you really wanted that stylist. There is also the possibility that the bride already has a stylist booked but wants to try out different styles but telling either stylist. This can lead to mistrust and confusion among everyone involved.
