Who at Cut Above does this service
What do we test during your Style Trial?
The trial is a working rehearsal, so we treat it like the real morning.
- We start with your plans: the venue, time of day, indoors or out, and any veil, comb or headpiece. Each one changes where pins and weight can go.
- We look at your hair's texture and how well it holds a curl, then build in grip with setting product as needed.
- Your stylist creates the first version and shows you the back and sides in a hand mirror.
- We adjust height, tightness and face-framing pieces until it feels like you.
- Before you leave, we note the products, pins and order of steps so the wedding morning matches.
Wear a top with a neckline close to your dress so you can judge the shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Book the day-of as soon as your date is set. The Style Trial happens 4 to 8 weeks before the event.
Do I have to do a Style Trial?
We strongly recommend it. The trial is what makes the day-of feel rehearsed. Skipping it adds stress for everyone.
Can the whole bridal party come?
Yes. Book the bride first, then add bridesmaids, mother of the bride, etc. We will block enough time for everyone.
Can you do hair if my dress is being worn during the appointment?
Yes, we are used to working around dresses. Tell us when you book so we plan accordingly.
Do you travel?
Currently we do not travel off-site. All bridal services are in the salon.
Should I wash my hair the morning of?
Usually day-before is best for grip. We will give you the exact prep instructions at the Style Trial.
What if I want hair, makeup, AND skin done?
We do hair + skin in-house. Many guests pair a Facial & Blowout package. For makeup we recommend a trusted local artist; ask us at the trial.
