HAIR & MAKE UP on request 

For ladies: Unless you have specified that you want to do your own hair and make-up or you are turning up for a 5 minute makeover, please arrive with clean, dry hair and please try to wear little or no make-up. We allow up to one hour complimentary hair & make-up for all our online packages, but you may consider visiting a salon prior to your photo shoot to colour your roots if necessary. We can dry style your hair i.e wavy, curly or straight looks. If you plan on having hair extensions for your shoot or something a little more specific, we advise you to visit a salon beforehand. We want you to feel happy and we don't want to have to reduce your shoot time. As stated before, we provide one look in the hair which we dry style, choose from curly, hair up, hair down or straight looks.

In general: Professional looking nails really add to the results, we encourage both men and women to visit a nail bar before having your shoot.

Wet look shots: Don't forget to pop a large towel into your suitcase, you may wish to do some wet look shots and for hygiene reasons we prefer you bring your own towel.
