Still Waiting on Hair and Makeup Timeline

Jessica, on September 21, 2021 at 9:04 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 10
Hi friends 👋🏼


My wedding is this Saturday, September 25th and my hair and makeup artist still hasn’t confirmed the start time for my bridal party. I heard from her last Friday when she said she was “really busy and had to move some things around” but haven’t heard anything else since.
Should I be freaking out? Because I am 🥺

    I’d follow up with her. Your only a few days away! Congrats!

    I would 100% be annoyed because you (and anyone else getting services) are waiting on her so you can plan your day. Usually the hair and makeup schedule is set a few weeks in advance because of that.

    She should definitely have given you a timeline by now.

    Definitely call her again - she should have been able to give you all the information by now.

    Freak out? No (that’s not productive)! Proactively figuring out a plan B? Yes (just in case)!

    Can you estimate your own timeline? My HMUA told me how much time she allots per service, my photographer had given me a be ready by time, & that together dictated our start time. I then slotted people in because I knew best who would likely be early/late/take longer.

    No no no, they should have given you a timeline by now. Maybe start by giving her your timeline.

    I didn’t receive my hair and makeup timeline until a day or 2 before my wedding so it could be normal for it to be delivered this late. If anything you can create a mock timeline of your bridal party by what they will all have done and give each person an hour window. If you’re having 1 hair and 1 makeup person you can schedule one girl to be getting hair at the same time one is getting makeup and go from there. Always add an extra 10 minute buffer time and give yourself ( the bride over an hour). You can share this with your HMU team and see if it will get the ball rolling with them. Just say this is an idea of the timeline you had in mind would this work and she can make edits to it and not feel like she’s doing it from scratch since she’s so busy.

    Definitely follow up with her so you can let the bridal party know the plans. By this time you should at least have a start time.

    If you haven't heard back, keep calling until you get through to her. Don't stop until you actually speak to her, and tell her you need to know her schedule for Saturday. Tell her that you also need to let your bridesmaids know so that they can plan accordingly.
