Using Hair Extensions on Your Wedding day!

Hair Extensions have become super popular with Brides & I’m predicting we’ll see an increase in 2019 weddings!

We all know the benefits of  using extensions:

  • Add Volume / Fullness (in updos or down styles)
  • Add length!
  • Allows for more options because there’s more hair to work with!

But I still have a ton of Brides who have a lot of fears or concerns:

  • Is it going to look fake?
  • What kind of extensions should I buy?
  • How much should I expect to spend?

I am personally a HUGE fan of extensions & I have never, in 10 years, had a Bride buy hair extensions and decide NOT to use them.

Here’s the rundown for all of your questions & concerns!

  1.  Is It going to look fake?

It is important to make sure your hair extensions MATCH your hair color, as close as possible. You may also need to add layers into your extensions in order for them to properly blend with yours. You can do this by taking them into a salon.

2. What kind of extensions should I buy & how much should I spend?

We recommend two different types of extensions.

If you are looking to wear these extensions for 1 to 4 months, long term, we suggest looking into the Tape Method. This method will need to be installed & removed by a licensed professional in a salon & the hair should be ordered through the salon as well.

You can expect to spend about $400 – $600 for the cost of the hair + installation.

If you are most interested in wearing extensions just for your wedding day, we suggest the Clip-On extensions. This method can be applied by your wedding day hairstylist and then you can easily remove them yourself before you go to bed that night. You can also learn how to install them yourself if you want to have some fun with them on any other occasion.

You can expect to spend anywhere from $80 – $500 on clip-on hair extensions depending on the quality of hair you buy and the length. If you are ONLY going to wear these extensions for 1 day on your wedding day, you do not have to purchase the most expensive extensions because you are not purchasing for the longevity of the hair.

I hope that helps and if you still have questions, definitely reach out to us! You can contact us directly through email at info@jirehartistry.com

Why You Won’t Need a Makeup Touch Up Kit!

In the blog post, we’ll tell you WHY you WILL NOT need a Makeup Touch up Kit when you hire our Team of Wedding Hair and Makeup professionals. We’ll also share some precautions you can take and emergency options for those who really want perfection on their special day!

When it’s done right…

Years ago we used to offer Touch Up services and we realized that every time we arrived a couple hours later to “touch up” our beautiful Bride & her girls… They actually DIDN’T need any touch-ups. We would basically re-apply the lipstick and maybe a dab of powder but that was about it.

A lot of our brides report to us that the makeup we applied lasted all day & night, sometimes even til the next day! The reason for this has a lot to do with our experience, our techniques and selecting the right products to use for each person’s unique skin type.

The exception to the rule!

Unless you use a lip-stain or something like the trendy LipSense lipsticks, you will most likely need to touch up your lips. I suggest you purchase a lipstick to touch up through out the day.

If you have extremely oily skin, like above average, you may also need a touch-up powder and that’s

For the extra cautious Brides

If you’re reading this and you’re still thinking you want to be prepared for any situation. I get it. This is such a special day!

In that case we do offer our services at an hourly rate but we like to think of it more like purchasing Beauty Insurance! We’re there just in case you need us and or something unpredictable happens.

Hire our team for high-quality service!

When you hire our team of highly experienced professionals, you can rest assured your makeup will stay put. I definitely recommend to purchase a lipstick as you will most likely need to touch up the lips, especially after eating!
