When Should You Go to the Hair Salon Before Your Wedding?
Many brides go to the hair salon before their wedding ♩
They want their split ends and bangs trimmed, their roots touched up, and their hair beautifully colored to be in the best condition for the wedding ♡
By the way, when do you think is a good time to go to the salon before the wedding?
Normally, the timing for salon visits may vary - "once every two months," "once every six months," or "whenever I feel like it," but
for the wedding, it’s essential to be careful about when you go to the salon!
If you don’t plan your salon visit counting back from the wedding day, you might not be able to maintain your ideal hair condition…!
It would be truly upsetting to have a wedding you’ve put so much effort into only to be unhappy with the length or color of your hair.
This time, let’s consider **when is the best time to visit the hair salon before the wedding.***
When Should You Go to the Hair Salon Before Your Wedding?
It is generally recommended to visit the hair salon **1 month to 2 weeks before** the wedding. The key point is to avoid going that is either too early or too late!
There are several reasons for this:
① It’s said that hair grows about 1 cm per month, so if you go to the salon more than a month ahead, it will grow out. Consequently, if you get a haircut to your ideal length more than a month in advance, it will still grow a bit, and even if you dye it, it might still have a slight root showing.
② For those whose hair color fades quickly, it can fade within about a month. Therefore, if you dye your hair more than a month before the wedding, it might not be the best color anymore.
③ If you color your hair less than 2 weeks before the wedding, the new color might not blend well. You could end up with hair that looks overly shiny and fresh from dyeing…!
④ If you have a coloring done right before the wedding, it becomes more challenging to dye it again if you don’t like it. It’s generally recommended to wait at least 3 days before dyeing again to minimize hair damage and ensure better color absorption, so it's better to leave more than 2 weeks before the wedding day.
For these reasons, it is considered best to visit the salon **1 month to 2 weeks** before the wedding◎
If you have a favorite salon, it’s advisable to make an appointment early to ensure your spot! ♩
**Caution!** Also Watch the Timing for Hair and Makeup Rehearsals!
We have established that the best timing for haircuts and coloring is **1 month to 2 weeks before the wedding,** but…
During this time, it’s also recommended to consider the timing for hair and makeup rehearsals◎
If you have the hair and makeup rehearsal before your haircut and coloring, the final look might end up feeling different from what you envisioned. For the rehearsal, you would certainly want it to be in the exact same state as on the wedding day, right?*
Therefore, it seems good to schedule your haircut and coloring about 3 weeks before the wedding and then have the rehearsal 2 weeks before the wedding. ♩
Let’s Welcome the Wedding with Your Perfect Hairstyle ♩
The best time to visit the salon before your wedding is **1 month to 2 weeks** prior!
If your visit is more than a month before or less than 2 weeks ahead, there’s a possibility that your hairstyle may not turn out as you desired, so be careful.
The time just before the wedding, from 1 month to 2 weeks out, can become quite hectic with final preparations.
Make sure to adjust your schedule well and it will be reassuring if you book your appointments early! ◎
