For bridal hair & makeup artists
The trial, the chair schedule, the wedding morning
A bridal morning is a schedule worked back from the time everyone must be ready. Booksui’s hair and makeup pipeline runs inquiry → proposal → booked → hair and makeup trial → chair schedule → wedding morning, with the bridal party, their services and the ready-by time on the booking.

Priced by the face
Bride, bridal party, flower girls and touch-up cover as line items, with the early start and travel priced on their own.
The chair schedule, worked back
Who sits when and with how many artists, worked back from the time everyone must be ready, which comes from the day’s timeline. The start time goes on the timeline for the photographer and the planner, and the invoice is drafted by head.
The bridal party and their services
The bridal party questionnaire asks who is in the chair and what each person wants, and the answers fill the chair schedule.
Trial notes kept
Products, shades and what the bride liked go on the booking after the trial, so the wedding morning starts from them.
Terms for the bridal party
A bridal hair and makeup agreement with bridal party terms; the deposit written into it and recorded when it arrives.
Allergies asked before the day
The agreement and the questionnaire ask about skin, allergies and sensitivities for everyone in the chair before the wedding morning.
