Bridal Hair & Wedding Makeup Contract for Salons And Stylists
To truly succeed in the bridal industry, your salon must stand out from the crowd. There's more to doing bridal hair than wielding bobby pins and teasing brushes; winning the trust of the bride early on is crucial to successful bridal salon services! Hair, makeup and nail consultations should reflect the talent and knowledge of you and your staff, so have a lookbook ready to show examples of your salon's previous bridal work. Create a list of tips and advice for the bride to keep in mind not only while selecting her hair and makeup, but also in her advance preparation for the big day. You'll likely need to walk your bridal customer (and her party) through all of the necessary stages of planning, and clearly explain how the timing of appointments on practice dates and wedding day will run. Remember - you've done this many times before and she likely has not, so your gentle guidance and advice will be welcome!
The salon professionals at Marlo Beauty Supply recommend creating a bridal contract designed to:
Define Expectations:
Take inventory of all clients in the bridal party. Who has short hair? Who has long, thick, unruly hair? How many updos? How many blowouts? Will there be haircuts, manicures, pedicures, or spa services? Knowing what to expect allows your salon to make sure that the most experienced and skilled staff is on hand and that every client is paired with the perfect stylist. And remember- having clear, agreed-upon pricing for each service before the bridal hair appointment will mean no unwanted surprises for the bride and her guests.
Value The Time of the Parties
A bridal salon contract acts as an agreement between the bride, her guests and your salon. Confirming bookings allows both parties to plan well in advance. With a little strategy, you can secure appointment times for hair, makeup or nail services that allow those services to happen at a relaxed pace without wasted time. Services should (carefully) overlap to create a calm atmosphere for the bride and her party, but with enough cushion time for the unexpected. It's also of the utmost importance that you make sure you and your salon are prepared with a game plan and all professional hair, makeup or nail supplies needed for your bride's big day. This way you can provide the best service possible and the bride can safely count on arriving to her wedding festivities on time.
Create Policies In Advance
Will you offer complimentary consultations and/or rehearsals? How will you handle changes to the bridal party (number of guests, styling requests, etc.) days or hours before the appointment? Clear policies within the wedding hair or makeup contract agreed upon in advance, by all involved, are key for salons managing wedding parties of any size. This will not only help keep the bride and her closest loved ones happy on the big day, but also protect your salon from incurring undesired expenses
Look Experienced And Professional
A formal bridal contract is not only practical but can also be comforting to a bride because it helps her understand that your salon is experienced in handling wedding parties of all sizes.
