Earlier than you think. I'm currently booking into 2027, with some peak dates already reserved. As a general guide — if your wedding falls between March and October, I'd recommend reaching out 12 to 18 months in advance. For off-peak dates, 6 to 12 months is typically sufficient, though popular long weekends fill quickly regardless of season.

If you have a date in mind, the best thing to do is reach out now to check availability. Securing your date requires only a signed contract and a 30% deposit — and once that's in place, your morning is protected.

I work with a wide range of hair types, textures, and lengths — including fine, thick, wavy, and naturally curly hair. The products and techniques I use are chosen specifically for the hair in front of me, so every style is built to work with your natural texture rather than against it.

Please note that I do not specialise in Type 4 natural hair or protective styles. If this applies to you, I want to make sure you're in the most capable hands for your day — I'm happy to connect you with a stylist in my network who specialises in this area.

I specialise in bridal hair only — but I'm happy to recommend trusted makeup artists I've worked alongside if you're still looking for the right fit.

If your date is already reserved, I'll let you know as soon as possible and do my best to point you in the right direction. I'm connected to a trusted community of local bridal stylists and am happy to share your inquiry to help you find the right fit.

Yes. All of my packages have a Bridal Preview included. It’s a dedicated appointment to refine and perfect your look ahead of your wedding day. It’s one of my favorite parts of the process—we have the opportunity to meet, connect, and thoughtfully go over your vision, while addressing any questions or concerns. This ensures your wedding morning feels smooth, calm, and truly enjoyable.

I recommend booking your preview one to three months before your wedding, ideally on a day with a dress fitting, photoshoot, or special occasion — so you can experience the full look in a meaningful context.

That's exactly what the preview is for. We'll explore ideas together and arrive at something that feels completely, authentically you.

Most styles for attendees take 45–60 minutes. For my brides, I build in 1.5–2 hours to allow for finishing touches and final adjustments. I'll work with you to create a morning timeline that flows without rushing.

The Celebration package includes pre-ceremony touch-ups — I stay until after you've stepped into your dress. The Full Day package extends this to after-ceremony coverage, which can be used for a second bridal style or reception touch-ups. Pre-ceremony touch-ups can also be added to The Essential and The Celebration packages as an upgrade.

Yes — simple styles for flower girls can be accommodated depending on age and timing. Please mention this when you inquire and I'll factor it into the morning timeline. Flower girls are typically scheduled toward the end of the morning so they aren't in full hair for longer than necessary.

For larger bridal parties or weddings with a tighter morning timeline, I may recommend bringing in an additional stylist to ensure everything flows seamlessly and no one feels rushed. The need for an extra stylist depends on your party size and desired finishing time—I’ll assess this once your final service count and timeline are confirmed. If an additional stylist is required, a fee of $150 will be added to your invoice.

For Saturday and peak season weddings (March through October), I require a minimum of the bride plus three guests. If you are looking for bridal hair only — just yourself, no bridal party — a bridal-only booking is available at a minimum of $800. This reflects the full value of the morning and ensures I can give your look the unhurried attention it deserves. Weekday and off-season bookings are more flexible — reach out and we'll find what works for your day.

Travel is calculated at $0.75/km from Cochrane, Alberta, round trip. For locations requiring more than three hours of travel, overnight accommodation is arranged. This allows me to arrive rested, present, and fully focused on the work we are creating together.

If you’re unsure about a service, I recommend leaving it off your initial inquiry and revisiting it once you’re ready to confirm.
