FAQ
When should I check you have my wedding date available?
Wedding bookings are made 12-18 months in advance so it's good to get in touch as soon as you confirm your major wedding vendors.
Please note - I only book a small number of weddings each season so my availability is limited and popular wedding dates including Saturdays are booked quickly**
I'm ready to secure you for my wedding! What do I do next?
Let me know! Then I can send you your proposal to review.
Then all you have to do is accept the quote, sign the T&C and make sure the booking payment is received.
Unfortunately, I cannot pencil dates due to the multiple requests for popular dates year on year.
Where does my Bridal preview take place?
Bridal Previews take place in my studio in Torbay, North Shore - Auckland unless you request this at your home. Travel fees will apply.
Where do you travel to?
My studio is in Torbay on the North Shore in Auckland, New Zealand.
Locations I frequent are the North Shore suburbs, Auckland City Central Hotels, Air BnB's, Waiheke Island, Kumeu, Coatesville and surrounding areas, Orewa, Warkworth, Matakana.
Enquire for travel & accomodation rates.
What hair extensions do you recommend?
Clip in hair extensions are very common in creating the trending, bridal hairstyles you see today across TikTok, IG and Pinterest.
They act like scaffolding in the hair and provide fullness, length and longer lasting curls and waves.
I like using superior hair clip in extensions but there are many brands available online too. You can purchase superior hair directly from their shop and have them colour matched.
Can I please speak to you about my wedding before I book?
Yes! You can book a discovery zoom call with me. Just send through your details on the enquiry form and we will send you some video-call booking times.

- Head straight to the Enquiries tab and send me your Wedding date ASAP. I check your date is available and send you a booking slot for our Zoom Video Call. Then I can send your Bridal Hair and Makeup Proposal to review.
When everything looks perfect, all you have to do is accept it, sign the contract and once your booking payment is made the date is yours!
Unfortunately, I cannot 'pencil dates' due to the multiple requests for popular dates year on year.
When can I book my Bridal preview?
- Ideally anytime within 8 weeks of the wedding day. If you are based internationally, we can schedule your preview for a date that you will be in the country. Before then, we can discuss and prepare your desired style, ensuring all your beauty requirements are met.

- Lots of the popular styles you fall in love with have extensions incorporated. We will discuss this in your discovery call or at your preview.
When should I book my cut, colour or highlights appointment with my hairdresser prior to the wedding?
- We will discuss the timing for this at your preview however consider the time of the year of your wedding and aim for having your last trim/colour/toner etc 2 weeks prior to the wedding day.
It's also very important that with hairstyling we plan face framing lengths and also ensuring we have enough hair to create the desired look if not requiring extensions or support padding.
Can you start before 7am?
- Yes.
How long do you allow for services on the wedding day?
- Brides 45-75 minutes or up to 90 minutes for selected styles, Guests average 45min per person. These times are approximate as some hair types and styles can take less or more time. Makeup average at 45 minutes pp, Bride 45-60 min.

She has incredible insight into your unique perfect day and the hair and makeup impeccable. A true creative professional stylist and all round amazing human. The communication was easy and accessible and you made me feel and look a million. Thank you so much Amy. - Lydia, Tawharanui Lodge
Amy recently did my hair for my wedding. Amy was amazing. I told Amy my vision of what I wanted and the end result was even better than I expected.
Amy is so good at what she does, and uses quality products.
Could not recommend her enough!! - Chanelle Plume, Matakana
At the bridal trial she managed to work out exactly what I wanted from a range of pictures and taking her time to execute the perfect hair for me.
She is a great communicator, on time and works incredibly hard to make everything perfect. I highly recommend Amy for your wedding.
- Natalie, Venue Matakana Estate
