Hair Cut and Color

How far in advance should you get your hair cut or colored prior to a big event, such as a session with Belle Boudoir? Some people think they should do it within a couple of days so that their hair is “fresh,” but my opinion is that is way to close to the finish line. When you get your hair cut, the fresh ends and layers haven’t been trained to lay the way you like – they haven’t had time to relax. We all love our hair leaving the salon once you wash out the style the hairdresser gave you, it is usually another week before your hair starts to feel and look like your own again. This is why I recommend giving 7-10 days for your hair to settle from a haircut before your shoot.

When it comes to bangs, it is always better to stick with what you have until after your big day. If you get bangs cut and don’t typically have bangs, this could be disastrous if they don’t look the way you had envisioned. Bangs are very personal and if they aren’t just right, it can make your feel like your entire hairstyle isn’t right. And don’t forget that we have clip-in bangs in the studio that you can always use for your session. So leave the experimental bangs for after your boudoir session and ensure that you love what you see in your photos.

If you plan to have your hair colored, it also a great idea to give the color enough time to settle. A lot of times when we leave the salon, our hair is extra vibrant making foils and the hairline more obvious. It is generally best to wait 7-10 days between getting your hair colored and your big event.

So color on ladies and feel free to trim up your split ends but wait a full week (or more!) before coming in for your session. We also have hair extensions for length and volume (pictured below). We hope to see you soon!

Beautiful and Comfortable

As was the case with Ms. L. She booked her session with Belle Boudoir as a thoughtful and unique Christmas gift for her husband who travels often for work. Something a little sexy and titillating to take along with him on his travels. A great reason for anyone to make their way into our studio. Once Ms. L had her session with us, she quickly realized that she got more than just a incredible gift for her husband, but also a gift for herself.

Ms. L met her husband in high school and they became sweet hearts almost instantly. They had a connection deeper than the typical teenage romance and they both knew that from the beginning. One afternoon after an average trip to the local store, he proposed the only way a young man knows how – with sincere emotion surrounded by all their shopping bags – something they still share a laugh about today. Immediately after high school, and with the blessing of their families, Ms. L and her now husband were married. She was 18 and he was 19. And despite all odds, they are still happily married 10 years later and are now thinking about adding to their family.

Ms. L has been wanting to do a boudoir style shoot for a while but the holidays gave her a great reason to finally book her session. As for choosing where to go, there wasn’t any competition in her eyes, even though she had to travel to our Seattle location for her shoot. And, of course, we are thrilled that she did.

Though Ms. L’s intention for coming into Belle Boudoir was to create a beautiful gift for her husband, she found that she LOVED her session – not just the outcome but the entire process. She felt “beautiful and comfortable” and found that she left the studio with more confidence than she walked in with. A physical gift for him, and an emotional gift for herself. A bit more than she had originally bargained for.
