A bridal hair trial prevents wedding-day guessing.
Your hair trial is where your inspiration photos become a real plan. It helps test the shape, part, volume, curl pattern, bun placement, face framing, extensions, accessories, and how your hairstyle complements your dress, neckline, veil, and makeup.
It is especially helpful if you are choosing between two styles, using clip-in extensions, wearing a veil, planning an outdoor ceremony, or needing your hair to last through photos, ceremony, reception, and dancing.
What your Portland bridal hair trial can include.
Style Direction
Review inspiration photos and decide if the best direction is up, down, half-up, sleek, romantic, or textured.
Front Pieces
Test face-framing pieces, side part, center part, bangs, tendrils, volume, and how the front photographs.
