Wedding Day Beauty

One Week Before: Facial and Body Treatments
Exfoliation is the key to smooth, soft, younger looking skin, from head to toe! Select a facial and a full body scrub/massage/wrap combination for beautiful, touchable skin, with the added bonus of deep relaxation.

3-4 Days Before: Waxing
When to wax depends on how often you usually wax, how fast your hair grows, and how sensitive your skin is. The first rule of thumb is to never wax any area of your face the day before your wedding. You don’t want to risk having red bumps or blemishes marring your flawless look. Most experts suggest waiting until the week before your wedding day to do your final wax. As for your bikini area, if you’ve never waxed before, make sure to do a test run at least three months in advance. Ask your esthetician to recommend a schedule so you can see how many days it’ll take for redness to go away. Most brides find that waxing three to four days before the honeymoon leaves ample time for irritation to subside.

1-2 Days Before: Shellac Manicure

Use this Spa visit to get a Shellac Manicure, the breakthrough nail treatment that last for 14 days without chipping… Perfect for the ceremony AND lasts through the honeymoon! No worries about nicking nails while getting ready wedding day.

Wedding Day: Make Up
You will want to schedule at least one trial appointment a few weeks before to ensure that the makeup artist knows exactly how you want your makeup applied for your wedding. Also, it’s a good idea to take a photo of yourself after the trial so you and the makeup artist have something to refer to.
