I always say it’s never too early to book. It is best to book up to 18 months in advance.however, always ask if your date is available as I am happy to take short notice dates too.
I am happy to chat over the phone,zoom, watt app There are so many different platforms of comunication For enquiries I prefer emails rather than social media messages as sometimes these can get lost.
I understand that it can be a difficult time to decide you want for your special day, but there is no need at the booking point to have the style you want in mind,this can be decided at the pre wedding trial.
Please get in touch via email hilary@hilaryread.co.uk. I will then send you a booking form with the details of paying the deposit. When this has been completed please return a signed copy to me.I will then confirm your booking, this forms the contract between us.
In my experience, I have found that unless you are incredibly laid back about your hairstyle on the day and really not too fussy then you really need a trial. However, you are making an investment in yourself to look like you at your very best on your special day.
Part of the preview trial is about getting to know you, your hair, and what your vision is for your look, this will give you the confidence to face your public when all eyes are on you!
I always suggest to brides to book your make up and hair trial on the same day and try and fit in a dress fitting...this will give you peace of mind that your ideas have come together, and a fantastic way to spend a day off...its all about you!
A good average time is 12 weeks prior to the wedding as by then you will have most things in place. During the summer it’s a very busy time for weddings, however, I am most flexible on dates during the week.
For hair styling please allow two hours.
As part of the trial, I am able to offer hair extensions and colour match. Although I don’t keep these in stock they are available to order. As a qualified hair stylist and colourist I can also offer hair colour/foils/ombre/etc.
If it is not possible to visit me for a colour match then I would advise purchasing your extension at your local salon. PLEASE ENSURE THEY ARE REAL HAIR if you want them to be curled.
For you ladies who have alopecia or going through treatment, I am able to offer a wig supply and style.
During the busy summer months, I have a minimum requirement for bookings, bride plus 4.
When booking I require a deposit to hold your date. When your trial takes place a payment is required for the trial as in your quote.Then one month prior to your wedding date the outstanding balance payment is required.
Payment can be made via BACS, cheque or card payment but only in person. I cannot take payment over the phone.
Absolutely yes! Please get in touch for a quote.
If you are local to Hereford there is no charge however outside Hereford there is a charge of 50p per mile.
I recommend wearing a cream or ivory top to your pre-wedding trial. Wash your hair as usual but do not use straighteners.
Bring images of styles you like and any accessories you may already have, I do recommend choosing your hair style before purchasing
Hair accessories, this will give you a wider choice.
