Congratulations on your engagement! If you’ve chosen the breathtaking 30A corridor as your wedding destination, you’ve already made one perfect decision. Now let’s make sure your hair and makeup are equally flawless for your special day.
As a premier hair salon serving wedding venues from Rosemary Beach to Seaside, WaterColor to Alys Beach, we’ve had the privilege of being part of hundreds of love stories. Here’s everything you need to know about our wedding hair and makeup services.
Why 30A is the Perfect Wedding Destination
Before we dive into services, let’s appreciate why you chose this stunning location. The white sand beaches, luxurious venues like The Pearl Hotel, intimate settings in Seaside and Rosemary Beach, and the gorgeous natural backdrop make 30A one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in the country.
But here’s what many brides don’t realize until they arrive: the same coastal elements that make 30A beautiful (humidity, sea breeze, sun) can also challenge your wedding day hair and makeup. That’s where our expertise comes in.

The Importance of a Trial Run
This cannot be stressed enough: always book a trial run before your wedding day. Here’s why:
Timing Matters: Your trial should happen 1-3 months before your wedding. This gives you time to make adjustments if needed and ensures you’re completely confident in your look.
Photography Testing: Take photos of your trial hair and makeup in different lighting conditions. What looks perfect in person might photograph differently.
Comfort Level: Your wedding day will be stressful enough. Knowing exactly what to expect from your hair and makeup eliminates one major variable.
Style Refinement: Maybe that updo you thought you wanted isn’t quite right. A trial lets you explore options without wedding day pressure.
Extensions for Volume and Length
Want fuller, longer hair for your wedding day? We offer every type of extension:
- Hand-Tied Extensions: The most natural-looking option, perfect for fine hair
- Tape-In Extensions: Quick application, comfortable wear
- K-Tip Extensions: Excellent for adding both length and volume
- I-Tip Extensions: Individual strand placement for maximum customization
- Clip-In Extensions: Perfect if you only need volume for the wedding day itself
Planning Timeline: Extensions require a consultation to determine pricing and should be installed 1-2 weeks before your wedding. This gives you time to get used to them and ensures they look completely natural for your big day.

Color Services Before Your Wedding
Planning to refresh your color before the big day? Here’s our recommended timeline:
8-12 Weeks Before: If you’re making a significant color change (going lighter or darker), start now. This gives you time for multiple sessions if needed and lets your color fully settle.
4-6 Weeks Before: Perfect timing for full highlights ($230+), balayage ($220+), or all-over color ($180+).
2-3 Weeks Before: Ideal for root touch-ups ($150+), glossing ($45+), or toning ($45+) to refresh existing color.
1 Week Before: Last-minute root smudge ($45+) or gloss treatment for extra shine in photos.
Treatment Services for Wedding-Ready Hair
Don’t overlook the importance of hair health before your wedding:
Keratin Treatment ($400+): Schedule 4-6 weeks before your wedding for smooth, frizz-free hair that’s easy to style. This is especially popular with brides having outdoor ceremonies at beach venues.
K18 Treatment ($45+): Get this molecular repair treatment 1-2 weeks before your wedding to ensure your hair is in optimal condition.
Scalp Treatment ($50+): Book this a week before your wedding for a healthy, flake-free scalp.
Booking Timeline for Peak Wedding Season
30A’s peak wedding season runs from April through October, with September and October being particularly popular. Here’s when to book:
12+ Months Before: If you’re getting married during peak season at a popular venue 6-9 Months Before: For most 30A weddings 3-6 Months Before: Minimum booking window, especially for larger bridal parties
What to Bring to Your Trial

- Photos of hairstyles and makeup looks you love
- Your veil, hair accessories, or headpiece
- Information about your dress style and neckline
- Photos of your bridesmaids’ dresses for color coordination

Day-Of Logistics
Timing: Hair and makeup for a bride typically takes 2-3 hours total. Add 45-60 minutes per additional person (bridesmaids, mothers, etc.).
Location: We can work at your venue, rental home, or hotel. Many brides getting ready in Watercolor, Seaside, or Rosemary Beach prefer having us come to them.
Touch-Up Kit: We’ll recommend products to keep on hand for quick touch-ups throughout the day.

Rehearsal Dinner: Our blowout service ($65+) is perfect for a polished but comfortable look.
