The expert team at Mixology Salon & Spa shares a countdown to your most radiant wedding day look.

SIX MONTHS OUT

Skin Care Consultation

Get ready to glow! Customize a skincare regimen that will have your skin looking radiant. Treat yourself to facials every 4-6 weeks to keep that glow going strong.

Hair Care

Love your locks! Consult with a hairstylist to create a plan for maintaining your hair’s health, color and texture. Regular hair appointments will ensure your mane is in top shape for the big day.

FOUR MONTHS OUT

Nails

Show off that ring! It’s time to pamper your hands and nails. Strengthen your nails, condition your hands and experiment with new nail shapes and polish shades. About four months out from your wedding, start a nail care regimen with weekly manicures and pedicures every 2-4 weeks to keep your nails in perfect condition.

Waxing

Thinking about body waxing? If you’re new to bikini or Brazilian waxes, begin a waxing schedule every 3-4 weeks to ensure smooth skin.

TWO MONTHS OUT

Brows

Frame your face with perfect brows! Visit a brow specialist to find the ideal shape for your face and eyes. To maintain those beautiful brows, start regular brow waxing appointments every 4-6 weeks.

Schedule

Double-check your beauty calendar. Ensure all your hair, nail and makeup appointments are lined up and ready to go.

ONE MONTH OUT

Trial Run

It’s time to bring your wedding look to life! Gather inspiration photos and your headpiece, and work with your stylist to create a look that’s uniquely yours. Schedule a trial run for your wedding day hair and makeup. This is also a great time to try out grey-blending hair color, if needed.

TWO WEEKS OUT

Cut & Color

No surprises on the big day! Finalize your hair length and color with a haircut and color appointment.

ONE WEEK OUT

Add those final touches!

• Brow and body waxing: Don’t forget any necessary waxing after-care products.
• Treat yourself to a facial.
• Get a manicure and purchase the nail color for touch-ups.
• Men’s grooming: Schedule a signature cut and manicure. If needed, add grey blending and a brow cleanup.

DAY-OF

It’s your big day! Relax and let your beauty team handle your perfect hair and makeup look. Remember to have touch-up cosmetics on hand (especially lip color!).

DAY (OR WEEK) AFTER

Cap off your beautiful wedding with some relaxation and quality time for the two of you. Consider a couples massage or pedicures and unwind together in style.
