Questions about pre-wedding care
What skincare routine should I follow before the wedding?
In the weeks before the wedding, it is best to keep to the skincare routine you already follow, without introducing new products or having abrasive treatments or invasive procedures. If you have no routine, you can start one, but at least six months ahead, to rule out any allergy or reaction in good time. A routine with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C helps makeup look much brighter and fresher.
How should I care for my hair before the wedding?
In the weeks before the wedding it is best to avoid major changes, especially chemical treatments such as straightening or harsh highlights. A light trim of the ends and a hydrating treatment are a good idea, always gentle and aimed only at caring for the hair, so it reaches the wedding in its best condition.
When should I get a haircut before my wedding?
A small trim one or two months before the wedding is a good idea, as long as it is not overdone, so nothing decided at the trial changes.
How to prep your skin the night before the wedding?
The best thing is to keep to your usual routine and try nothing new that night. At most, a vitamin C mask or another equally gentle one, for a little more radiance. On the wedding morning, the skin also gets vitamin C masks or patches, and decongesting patches for the under-eyes.
When should I have a facial or peel before my wedding?
Ideally between three weeks and a month before the wedding. Any closer is not advisable, because spots can come out after a facial or a peel, and the skin needs time to settle before the big day.
Should I wash my hair the day before my wedding?
In most cases, the best time is the night before. There are two exceptions: very fine, very oily hair, which is best washed that same morning so it is as fresh as possible, and blow-dried styles, which are also done on hair washed that morning. Freshly washed hair is not a problem, because texturising products now give it the grip a hairstyle needs.
When should I dye my hair before my wedding?
If you colour your hair regularly, the best time is the week of the wedding, just as in any other month, so the roots do not show. It is not the time to change colour, though.

Frequently asked questions about wedding hair and makeup
What does the wedding hair and makeup package include?
The service includes the trial and advice throughout the year, right up to the wedding day. For makeup, it also includes a touch-up kit in the shades chosen at the trial, handed to you on the wedding day: your lip colour, blush, setting powder, blotting papers, a mirror and a small pouch to take your makeup off at the end of the night.
Which areas of Andalusia do you travel to for weddings?
Weddings are covered throughout Andalusia, from a base in Fuengirola. Up to an hour and a half by car, travel is done on the day; between an hour and a half and two and a half hours, a night in the area is weighed, and further away it is always part of the plan, included in the quote.
Can you do hair and makeup for my mum and the bridal party?
The service can include the people closest to you. The most common arrangement is you plus two companions: usually your mother or the person closest to you, and often a sister or your best friend as well.
How much does wedding hair and makeup cost in Spain?
There is no single price, because every wedding has its own quote. The bridal rate includes the trial, the makeup touch-up kit and online advice. Depending on the wedding, it is joined by the people getting ready besides the bride, the travel fee, accommodation and meals when the wedding is far away, and a small surcharge for a very early start. Every price is in the dossier, which you receive when you ask about your date, through the contact form or any other channel, along with answers to all your questions.
