  • Bridal Beauty Plan and Tips from Avant's Experts

We know you're crazy-busy choosing invitations, florists, bridesmaids dresses, and a honeymoon hot spot. You'll spend months getting everything ready for your wedding. Shouldn't you do the same for yourself? We suggest a regular schedule of Salon and Spa services to ensure that everything is perfect for your Big Day

8-9  months before wedding

  • Contact Avant staff photographer Svetlana Frolova. She specializes in wedding photojournalism and bridal portraits. You will appreciate her natural and candid photography style. She will capture the excitement, emotion, and all of the special moments of your wedding. www.LanaFoto.com


5-6 months before wedding

  • Schedule your consultation with our bridal coordinator -  Jackie Rumsey

  • Make consultation appointments with one of our award winning stylists and makeup artists. Bring along pictures of hairstyles you like, even a picture of your veil and headpiece. If you want to wear your hair in an updo, discuss with the hairdresser how long it will take to grow out your hair so it's the right length for your desired look


3-4 months before wedding

  • Begin Conditioning Treatments on damaged hair. We recommend Damage Remedy Hair & Scalp Renewal - an in-salon treatment with powerful results - for you and your hair: up to 71% more resistance to combing breakage or up to 71% smoother, softer strands

  • Get serious about skin care: Consider making appointments for monthly facials. Your Avant esthetician will also recommend a good cleansing and moisturizing program  to ensure your skin looks its best on your Big Day

  • Ever consider having your eyebrows professionally shaped? Impeccable eyebrows are essential to looking your best. Think of them as a frame to a beautiful painting (your face!). We recommend that you do not attempt to wax or tweeze your brows yourself, as you run a risk of  removing too much brow.  Start your brow wax appointments at Avant at least 3 months before your wedding to ensure that you get the shape that's best for your face

  • Begin massage services, so you can stay relaxed and enjoy this special time.
    Our skilled massage therapists are certified in a variety of Massage Techniques and will customize your experience to your needs. Choose between Deep Tissue, Hydrotherm or Hot Stone Massage

  • Begin weekly manicures to help you grow beautiful nails to show off that ring


2 months before wedding

  • Want to experiment with self-tanners? Now's the time.  Consider the neckline of your gown, and whether you have existing tan lines you'll need to cover. Schedule Solar Effects Body Bronzer - a pro active way to practice "safe sun". This body treatment includes two levels of exfoliation, applications of solar product and Caribbean scalp massage as well as  a bronzing maintenance gift package valued @ $32


1- 2 months before wedding

  • Meet with one of our  hair dressers and makeup artists for a trial run

Everyday makeup is different from your wedding day needs. When it comes to wedding day makeup or makeup for bridal portraits, there's no room for error


2 weeks before wedding

  • Hair color / highlights  Experience the AVEDA difference. Our formulas are up to 99% naturally derived with pure plant aromas that calm and soothe

  • Schedule final bang trim (complimentary)

  • Stock up on travel sizes of your favorite AVEDA products for your honeymoon

  • Confirm big-day beauty appointments


1 week before wedding

  • Now is the time for final waxing appointments: Get a a final eyebrow shaping and bikini wax. You want to be prepared for that honeymoon lingerie!

  • Get a final facial, so your skin looks radiant. Don't wait until the day before to do this. (Your face may need a day or two to get back to normal)

  • Enjoy and relax with body treatment or massage

  • Remind your man to get his final trim if he hasn't already done so


Day before your wedding


Night before your wedding

  • This is the ideal time to shampoo your hair. Please do not shampoo it the morning of your appointment!  Be sure to arrive with dry hair, not freshly washed. It is very important to your stylist 


Your wedding day

  • Be sure to eat something. This is not a day to operate on an empty stomach

  • Get your hair and makeup done. Wear a shirt that can be removed easily, such as a button-down blouse. Please do not wear a shirt that pulls off over your hair as it could ruin your beautiful style

Have fun, take a deep breath, enjoy the Avant experience!
