It’s recommended to have closer to the wedding. Preferably in the same season and no changes are going to be made to the hair.

Sure, it’s understandable. You may be required to have another trial before the weddings depending on how far away the wedding is.

I don’t personally do makeup. I do have an artist that i can recommend

Gorgeous boho-inspired braids and curls!
I reached out to Val because I wanted something fun and flowy and with some sort of braid involved and she had the exact vibe I wanted based on her Instagram. She took my inspo photos and gave me exactly what I wanted with her only little twist to it - and it stayed ALL NIGHT LONG in the humidity and heat!! I got so many compliments on my hair and would definitely book her again if I needed to. My bridesmaids and mother in law also loved their hairstyles, too, and they were all different from mine which really shows that Val can do everything and anything.

Amazing
Val is simply amazing at her styles. She takes the time to listen and can recreate any photo. You show her. Her styles last all through the night: I can’t recommend her enough.

Amazing Bridal Hair!
Brides by Valerie Clarke was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day hair and makeup. From our very first consultation, Val listened intently to understand the exact look I was going for, and she was incredibly talented in bringing that vision to life. Val’s calming presence and reassuring demeanor helped me feel relaxed and confident on the morning of my wedding. The end result was an impressive, detailed updo that made me feel absolutely beautiful - exactly what I had envisioned. I cannot recommend her enough for her exceptional skills and wonderful service.

Hair Queen
Val was a dream to work with. She has clear communication and is very detail oriented with her up-dos. Val brought my dream hairstyle to life and it stayed perfectly in place all night through 95 degree heat. I cannot recommend her enough!

Amazing!
I had the BEST experience getting my prom hair done! I showed her a few inspiration pictures, and she somehow made it look even better on me than I imagined. My hair stayed perfect the whole entire night. Definitely book with Val!
