Wedding Hair & Makeup in Matamata: The Complete Bridal Guide

Start with a trial

A bridal trial is the single best thing you can do. It's a relaxed run-through of your hair and makeup so you can see exactly how it looks and feels, tweak anything, and walk into your day with total confidence.

Bring inspo photos, a sense of your dress neckline, and any accessories or veil. We'll test how your look wears over a few hours and note everything down so the on-the-day result is repeatable.

Timing your big day

We build a clear schedule backwards from your ceremony time, allowing a comfortable buffer. As a rough guide, allow around 45–60 minutes for bridal hair and a similar window for makeup, plus shorter slots for each member of your party.

Booking early matters — popular dates fill fast, especially over the Waikato wedding season. Locking in your trial and on-the-day booking well ahead means the artist and stylist you love are reserved for you.

Your bridal party (and beyond)

We look after the whole party — bridesmaids, mums and flower girls — so everyone's coordinated and camera-ready. We can style in-salon at 100 Broadway or, depending on numbers and location, come to you.

Because we're a full-service salon, you can also sort pre-wedding colour, a fresh cut, nails and a relaxing treatment in the lead-up, all in one place.

Planning your day? Enquire about a bridal trial and we'll take care of the rest.
