Booking a Wedding Hair Trial from Menora: What to Bring and What to Ask

A trial is the best money you'll spend on wedding hair, and it's the one people skip. Menora is only a few minutes' drive from our salon in Dianella, so there's really no excuse. What a trial does is take the guessing out. You find out how your style sits, how long it lasts, and whether you actually like it, with months to spare.

Bring a few photos, but also bring the dress neckline if you can, or at least a picture of it. Necklines change what suits. Up, down or half-up can look completely different depending on what's around your shoulders. And bring your veil or headpiece if you've got one, because it changes how the hair needs to be built.

Things worth asking at your trial

•     How long will this realistically hold through photos, dinner and dancing?

•     What will you do if the weather is humid or windy?

•     Can the same stylist do the day itself?

•     How long should we allow for the bridal party?

Book early, too. Popular weekends fill up months out. If you're mid-colour journey, get your colour sorted a few weeks before the wedding rather than the week of.
