Wedding hair isn't just a service — it's a relationship that begins months before your wedding day. Our bridal team will walk you through every step: from the first consultation, to a detailed trial, to on-the-day styling that lasts from ceremony to last dance. We know every wedding is different. Your package will be too.

For brides with bridesmaids handling the day-of styling, but want to nail the look beforehand.

• Complimentary 30-minute consultation
• Full bridal hair trial in salon (90 min)
• Styling notes and product list to take home
• Photo references for your day-of stylist

Best for: micro-weddings, eloping in Wanaka, brides handling their own day-of look.

Get in touch by phone or email. We'll lock in a complimentary 30-minute consultation, ideally with you bringing 3-5 inspiration images. We'll talk about your hair history, current condition, and dream day-of look.

If your hair needs work — colour correction, growing out, condition repair — we start now. We'll book in regular treatments, cut and colour appointments to get you wedding-ready.

This is the magic moment. Full bridal trial in salon. We try the look (or 2-3 looks), photograph it from every angle, refine, and confirm. You'll go home knowing exactly what your day will look like.

Final cut and colour to make sure you're glossy and fresh. We'll also run through your aftercare and timing for the day.

Whether you're coming to UKIYO or we're coming to your venue, you'll be in calm, capable hands. We arrive early. We bring everything we need. We stay until you're picture-perfect.

'They didn't just do my hair — they got me through the entire wedding morning. Calm, professional and completely on-brief. The hair lasted from 11am ceremony through to 1am dance floor without a single touch-up.'

'Booking the destination package was the best decision we made. Five girls + me, all done at the venue, finished by 2pm and ready for photos. The team was incredible.'

'I almost didn't bother with bridal hair because we were eloping. So glad I did the trial — it made me feel like a bride. Wore the look down the mountain and into the helicopter.'

Wedding season in Wanaka is intense — we typically book 8-12 months in advance for peak summer (Nov-Feb). Off-peak weddings (May-Sept) often have 3-6 month availability.

If you have a date in mind, get in touch now. Even if you're not 100% sure of the package, we'll lock in your date and refine the details closer to time.

Strongly recommended. A trial removes wedding-day uncertainty and lets us refine the look. We include a full trial in The Complete and The Destination packages. Standalone trials are $295.

Extensions are common for bridal hair — for length, fullness or both. We'll discuss at consultation whether your existing hair needs them and recommend the best application method (clip-in, tape or micro ring) and timing.

Yes. Travel within 30km of Wanaka is included in The Destination package. Beyond that we charge a small travel fee. We work all the major Wanaka and Queenstown wedding venues.

We can absolutely look after your whole bridal party. Add-on pricing applies per person — typically $95-$165 per additional style depending on complexity.

Things happen. We work flexibly with weather changes, ceremony delays and last-minute timeline shifts. As long as you keep us in the loop, we'll adapt.
