Avenue 42 Celebrates: 100 Brides & 1 Year Studio Anniversary!


We would LOVE to congratulate our team on booking over 100 weddings for 2013! We are so proud of our amazing stylists, makeup artists and support staff for making this all possible; not to mention a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our beautiful brides!
If you are planning on booking with us for an upcoming wedding, we would love to share some useful information with you to make this aspect of your wedding planning as easy as possible!
The ladies of Avenue 42!

BOOKING: All booking inquiries should be directed to our booking manager, Diane Eppers. Diane helps each and every bride with the logistics of booking artists from our team! She will carefully match you with a stylist/makeup artist to complete your look on your big day. It is best to have as close to an exact number as possible of the amount of people in your bridal party receiving services on the wedding day to ensure each and every person is given the highest level of service possible.
TRIAL: We highly recommend doing a bridal trial! Even the most relaxed brides should take the time to consult with their hair and makeup team before their day of. This appointment is completed in-salon by the stylist/makeup artist that will be with you on the day of your wedding. The trial gives you time to get to know your stylist and to work together to achieve your desired look as well as offers a bit of piece of mind that you will not encounter a hair and makeup nightmare on your big day.
MAINTENANCE: All of our hair and makeup team are professionals! Each artist works closely with the technical aspects of their respective trades on a daily basis. Refer to your stylists advice on when to color or cut your hair before your special day. Your makeup artist can suggest what sort of preparation may be necessary for your skin.
NEXT STEP: After your trial is completed, you can then move forward with the booking process. A contract and deposit are required to secure our team for your big day. Your contract will arrive via email, and your deposit can be taken care of through our booking manager or in-salon on the day of your trial. We do suggest moving quickly with booking, especially during peak wedding season.
TIPS FOR YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP TRIAL:
• If you are doing a makeup trial, it is best to arrive with a clean face. Makeup is often hard to completely remove with facial wipes/makeup remover and may often leave a residue on the skin.
• Wear a top that is similar in color to your gown! This will give you as well as your makeup artist a better idea of how your makeup will look against your gown.
• Leave enough time before your last brow/facial waxing appointment for your skin to return to its normal state. We do NOT suggest waxing right before your makeup trial. Give it at least 24 hours!
• Be as close to as tan as you would like to be on your day of. If you are planning on receiving a spray tan before your big day, we suggest doing a trial spray tan a few days before your bridal trial. 
• Preferences for hair preparation vary with stylist. Some stylists prefer hair that has been washed a day before, and some prefer to wash and set your hair before completing your style. When booking your trial, be sure to ask what your stylists preference is!
• If you have any allergic reactions to makeup, please notify us before your appointment time. Please specify the items you are allergic to and how severe your allergies are.
• If using a hair embellishment, it is always best to bring it with you. Any hair stye up or down can be completely structurally changed when adding a comb, headband, or clip. We would like to make sure your style is as secure as possible on the day of your trial so we can replicate the look on the day of. If you change your mind between the time of your trial and the time of your day of, let your stylist know!
• Bring any jewelry and accessories you plan on wearing on the day of your wedding. Earrings and necklaces can often be hidden by certain hairstyles, and we would like to ensure your special accessories are visible if this is the look you desire.
We ALWAYS welcome new brides and clients! Contact our booking manager, Diane, with Bridal inquiries at Diane@ave42.com, or contact our studio for regular appointments and additional information at 804.303.3139.

Ave 42
