Is there anything I should do to prep my hair?

Yes, absolutely! Please wash your hair the night before and blow dry smooth (highly recommend). Sleeping with wet hair may not allow hair to fully dry. Do not sleep with your hair in a braid, bun, or ponytail this can create unwanted creases and bend in the hair. Straightening your hair can compromise the way your hair styles with a curling iron. Lastly, for anyone with frizzy or curly hair please ensure it is smoothed. For those with curly hair, depending on your desired look, separate instructions will be sent out. Everyone must arrive with clean and dry hair.

How do I inquire or book?

Fill out the inquire form here. I will reach out to you to discuss all the fun details about your wedding/event, styles you love, etc.

How far out should I book?

As soon as you can! In order to reserve your date, you must sign a contract and pay a 25% nonrefundable retainer.

When should I book my preview?

About 1-4 months before your wedding date.

What should I wear to my preview and the day of the wedding?

To your bridal preview wear a top that is a similar color and neckline to your dress. To preserve your beautiful hair on your wedding day, please choose to wear: a robe or a top that has either buttons or a zipper.

What extensions do you recommend?

My recommended brands are Luxy Hair, Bellami, Zala Hair, and Wennalife. It is also important that the extensions you purchase are 100% human hair.

What will the schedule look like?

Once you provide me the final count of hair services and getting ready time, I will send out a schedule with slotted times.

Can I add on services the day of?

Unfortunately, no, due to time. I am a solo stylist and the amount of hair services we agree on in the contract will be the number of services I will do the day of your wedding.

How far do you travel and how much do you charge?

Styles by Mandy is based in Virginia and will travel to surrounding areas. The first 20 miles from Mandy’s home base in Richmond, VA is complimentary. Each mile after 20 miles is a $2.00 per mile fee (Fee covers round trip travel). For any venues that are over 2 hours, overnight stay the night before the wedding/event will be required to ensure Mandy is on time the morning of the wedding/event.
