It is important that you make adequate preparation for this extra special day in your life, so that I can do my utmost in transforming you to be as beautiful as you wish to be.
PRE-PREPARATION
You should fully prepare yourself for the day ahead, from how you would like to look to the outfit you wish to wear. This pre-preparation is vital because you do not want to be wasting your time trying on things and deciding while you are here as time tends to fly when you’re having fun!
As we have a limited amount of time set (expect to be here for up to 1-2 hours, unless you have specifically requested otherwise) or you are having other treatments, your estimated time with me will be given to you at time of booking, so please specify what you wish to have done. Depending on the time of day and your expected time here, you may want to bring a little snack or have a decent meal prior to your arrival. You may also wish to bring your favourite music, wine or anything else to make you feel more comfortable.
CLOTHING SELECTION
I always think it's best to go through your whole girly wardrobe - JUST PULL IT ALL OUT!!! - and hunt out your favourite outfits, mix and match skirts, trousers, tops, blouses, anything you think looks good together, try it on and see how it looks; if not what you are really happy with then select something else, whatever makes you feel comfortable as there's nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable when looking your best.
I MUSTSTRESS that bringing your own clothing is a necessary requirement as I do not supply clothes for you to choose from. I would suggest bringing up to two or three outfits as I will be photographing you with at least two of them, but its good to have a variety so I can see which ones will suit you and the style of the makeover you desire.
SHOES
Personally, I LOVE SHOES, I cant get enough of them and having over 40 pairs of my
own it feels good to know when getting ready I have a selection to choose from when
trying to match with my outfit for the day; I always feel better when I’m colour
coordinated and everything matches or goes together well, it just completes the overall
look, but select your shoes wisely, they have to look good with your outfit as some
shoes can portray your image as either making you look too short or too tall or frumpy
and slouched. It is especially important to get the shoes right when wearing trousers,
for instance, if you are wearing flared jeans you wouldn’t want to wear flats or
sandals, as the flair on the jean gives you a more slender look, so wearing a suitable
height pair of heels will look amazing and totally flatter your figure, so you should
take care in matching shoes with your outfit.
ACCESSORIES
We all love our overall finished look. However I feel when I’m getting ready that my look is not complete without the final finishing touches, that’s where accessories come in they add somewhat glamour to your image. I would strongly suggest that you bring some of your favourite jewellery with you, anything you wish to wear such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, a pretty brooch, whatever suits you. I do have a little selection of my own jewellery for you to choose from if you wish to browse through. You can also bring anything else with you to enhance your photographs such as a favourite flower, pillow, sunglasses, handbag or clutch bag, its all down to you but BE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT WITH YOU!!
WIGS
I have a selection of wigs for you to choose from and they are all made of natural human hair or equal quality, which allows the hair to be styled and maintained more easily and in the way that suits you best. They range in different styles, eg. short, medium length, long, curly, wavy, straight, feathered, etc, and come in a range of colours such as blonde, light-brown, brunette, red-head, auburn, etc, and I’m sure I’ll have the wig for you! However it is crucial to remember it is vital that you choose a wig that suits your face shape as some styles can alter the way your face looks either making it look bigger or smaller than it is; also a suitable wig can take away the main focus of manly features such as a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows, etc. If you have a wig that you are attached to wearing or feel more comfortable then please feel free to bring it/them with you if you prefer.
MAKE-UP
Obviously I will use the products I consider suit you best for your make-over, but I just want to make the point that if you have a favourite lipstick, eye shadow, nail varnish, etc, that you would prefer to use then by all means bring it.
THE DAY BEFORE
You should be FULLY PREPARED for your make-over and I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH as its your time that will be sacrificed if you don't have everything ready. REMEMBER YOU HAVE A SET AMOUNT OF TIME ALLOCATED.
I recommend that once I have given you my location details, if you’re travelling from a distance, it's wise to plan your route in advance thus saving time and avoiding travel headaches. I find that either Google Maps or Bing Maps are very helpful as they both show your estimated travel time along with the complete directions from your start location to your desired destination and you are able to print out these directions with a full page map so this will help you to decide on your travel time required but please make sure you allow some extra time as the maps don’t obviously allow for the inevitable traffic holdups and you don’t want to be late, do you? These maps are also a good idea if you are travelling by coach or rail as I am located within walking distance of Luton town centre - see my location map
ON THE DAY
It is important that you arrive clean shaven; if need be you may be asked to shave
again to remove all stubble depending on the rate of your beard growth (so please
bring shaving items with you just in case). Also, if you’re going to be wearing
clothes/garments that shows off your legs, arms, neck, chest or any other body parts
which are hairy it is highly recommended that you remove all traces of visible hair
as you do not want it showing up in your photos. If you will be wearing a skirt/dress
and you do not wish to remove you body hair then I would advise you to bring a pair
or two (in case one ladders or tears) of tights or stockings to hide this, preferably
in black or a darker colour than your actual skin tone as the idea is to hide the
hair.
