For brides-to-be who aren’t quite sure about things like their hair, nails or make-up; read on! To ease the pressure in the run-up to your big day, the experts at Joz Salon and Spa answer some of the most common pre-wedding beauty questions. JOZ SALON & SPA BE A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE WHEN SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN? Hopefully you’ve already had your spray tan colour trial at Joz Salon, Amwaj, which means that you know exactly how your colour will look on your wedding day. Getting your spray tan three days before your special day is best if you are only after a very subtle glow. For a darker tan, the day before the wedding will suffice. WHAT ABOUT MY HAIRCUT AND COLOUR? For brunettes, a fresh colour can be applied one or two weeks before, whereas blondes or redheads may prefer to have their roots coloured just a day or two before the wedding to ensure a bright and fresh hue. Don’t go for a drastic cut just before your wedding. A quick trim should do the trick. Ensure that whatever you do to your hair will work with the way you want to wear it on the big day. HOW DO I HANDLE SUDDEN SPOTS? Spots and blemishes can be triggered by stress, so it is no surprise that many brides end up with them on the big day. However, if you maintain a good skin care regimen with proper facials leading up to your wedding, then your skin will be clearer and healthier, which will minimise your risk of blemishes. Avoid last-minute changes in any products and book your facial a week before the event to let any redness disappear in time. If you do end up with spots, don’t panic – the professional make-up artists at Joz can cover them up perfectly. WHAT ABOUT WAXING? Waxing any area of your body – especially your face – needs to be done a few days before the wedding. You certainly don’t want to be walking down the aisle with inflamed eyebrows! HOW DO I KNOW MY MAKE-UP IS GOING TO BE PERFECT? In order to ensure your bridal make-up is flawless and to your liking, it is best to have a trial with your make-up artist beforehand to try out different looks to determine what suits you best. Take a camera to the session so you can see how the make-up photographs. Regularly cleansing, toning and moisturising will create a smooth and supple canvas for the make-up to glide onto. Ultimately a good base means the cosmetics will last all day and night too. What you want is to simply amp up your usual look a little. You want to look like yourself, so don’t overdo the grease paint. DO I NEED A MANICURE? Most brides opt for a pre-wedding manicure to create an overall polished appearance on their wedding day, and to help enhance closeup shots of their rings. It’s best to book your manicure one to two days before the wedding for a well-groomed look. Call 17 369-133, 16 031-120 or 17 756-449.
