The ultimate bridal beauty schedule
What to book and when
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and photographed moments of your life.
At Pastels Salon, we know that every bride deserves to look and feel radiant from the engagement to the aisle.
This ultimate bridal beauty timeline is your step-by-step guide to planning flawless bridal hair, makeup, skincare, and colour services, created by our experts to make your journey seamless and stress-free.
6–12 months before, dream and plan
To begin with, book an early bridal consultation at Pastels, your trusted beauty salon in Jumeirah and Ritz-Carlton, to allow plenty of time for gradual shade transitions or hair extensions.
Share your dress style, wedding theme, and inspiration photos with our specialists, then discuss your ideal bridal hair and makeup look and plan any big transformations or colour changes.

4–6 months before, build healthy foundations
Radiant skin and glossy hair are the result of consistent care, not quick fixes. While you care for your skin at home with a gentle, targeted routine, now’s the time to start regular deep conditioning treatments for your hair.
At Pastels, we recommend Kérastase in-salon rituals paired with professional home care to restore strength, moisture, and shine so your hair looks its absolute best on your big day.
Discover hair treatments
2–3 months before, trials and refinement
Schedule your bridal hair and makeup trial at our salon. Bring your veil, hair accessories, and photos of your dress to help design a look that complements your face shape and bridal style.
A Pastels tip is to book your trial before an engagement shoot or dress fitting; it’s the perfect opportunity to see how your look photographs and make any final adjustments.
1 month before, colour and final details
Perfect your hair colour or add fresh highlights to boost dimension and brightness, and if you’re considering hair extensions for volume or length, this is the ideal time to add and blend them seamlessly.
For a better outcome, maintain your glowing skin with gentle facials and keep your hair healthy with regular trims.
Explore hair colouring and learn about extensions
1 week before, final polish
Book a gloss or toner to boost shine, plus a hydrating hair mask to lock in moisture, and finish with a manicure, pedicure, and brow shaping to complete your bridal look.
On the big day, relax and shine
With everything carefully planned and tested, all that’s left is to enjoy. At Pastels Salon Dubai, our team will ensure your bridal hair and makeup stay flawless from the first dance to the last.
