Hair stylist

Styles hair for the getting-ready morning. Pick who's getting done and the plan estimates timing from your party and works it backward from the ceremony.

Also called: hair, hairstylist, hair and makeup, bridal hair, updo.

When couples book this

Usually booked about 7 months out. It moves with your date.

Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

What look are you going for?
Who's getting hair done?
Wishlist mirror of the services roster — the party size you're planning for.
Where would you like hair to happen?
Wishlist mirror of getting_ready_location — whether you want someone who travels to you.

What to ask each candidate

Facts that differ from one vendor to the next — worth writing down while you shop.

Which hair services do you want?
Where is hair happening?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

How many people getting hair done?
DERIVED from party roles. Drives both cost and the prep block duration.
Getting-ready start time
DERIVED. The classic getting-ready miss: too few morning hours for the party size.
Hair trial
Styles, inspiration, and per-person notes
Sharing the morning with a makeup artist?
Ties the getting-ready block to the makeup instance so the two don't collide.
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What times are set on the day?
One row per moment — a serving round, a pickup leg, a person's slot, a set. Each row becomes its own block on your run of show, labeled with whatever you type, so name it for whoever will be reading it.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.

Hair styling
Stylist arrival
Set time
One block per row of the cell's dayof_service_times answer; the row's own label names it, and its `until` makes it a window.

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced per service.

Lines that sometimes ride along: Hair trial, Travel / on-location fee, Early-start surcharge.

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the morning, services, contacts.

Plan your hair stylist — and everything around it
