It’s your time to shine, to feel radiant, confident, and truly yourself.
At NORA Hair & Beauty we have been working with brides from all over the world for more than 10 years, and up to 90 brides per season, creating hairstyles and makeup that highlight their essence and make them feel unforgettable.

We know that wedding preparations can be exciting but also overwhelming. What our brides value most is the calm and confidence we bring to every step. We listen, advise, and guide you, making sure every detail flows in harmony.
Every bride is unique. That’s why we offer personalized consultations from the very first trial, tailoring your hairstyle and makeup to your style, features, and dreams. We keep up with the latest trends and techniques, but always without losing sight of what matters most: your essence.

Preparing
for the big day
Inspiration and style selection
Pinterest is a great place to find ideas, but remember: the most important thing is that your look reflects your personal style. Consider the date, weather, type of dress (boho, romantic, elegant…) and your hair characteristics (length, texture, weight) to choose a realistic and flattering hairstyle. It’s not about following fashion to the letter, but about feeling comfortable and being yourself.
EVERYTHING READY FOR A
perfect wedding
Hair
Trial
- Please come with clean, dry hair.
- At the salon, we have veils, accessories and clip-in extensions to help you visualise the final result.
- The trial lasts approximately 1.5 hours, which is enough time to work on up to two different styles.
Make Up
Trial
- It is best to come with clean skin, without make-up.
You can bring inspirational photos of what you like (and what you don’t like). - We take into account your face, your colouring and even the tones of the decoration and the bouquet.
- If you wish, we can also apply eyelash extensions for a more intense and lasting effect.
hair Prep
wedding day
- Wash your hair with your usual shampoo (not the hotel’s) and, if necessary, wash the roots twice.
Apply conditioner only to the ends, never to the roots. - Come with clean, dry hair.
- If you don’t like wearing your hair down, tie it back in a loose braid or low ponytail, using a soft hair tie that won’t leave marks.
- The same advice applies to bridesmaids.
Skin Prep
wedding day
- Well-cared-for skin not only has a natural glow, it also makes your make-up last much longer.
- Start a cleansing and moisturising routine at least six months beforehand.
- Don’t forget your lips: moisturise them well and, if they tend to dry out, use a gentle exfoliant.
- The week before, avoid long exposure to the sun; never go without sunscreen and don’t stay out for more than 30 minutes at a time.
- On websites such as Miin, you can find cosmetic options tailored to each skin type.
- The same care is also recommended for bridesmaids.

details
We love matching pyjamas for bridesmaids, but avoid those with high necks, as they can interfere with low hairstyles. A strappy top is better.
TIMING
wedding day
- We plan approximately 1.5 hours for the bride and 45 minutes for each bridesmaid or family member.
- It is helpful if everyone is nearby, as sometimes one person may need more or less time.
- We try not to finish with the bride, as this is usually the most chaotic moment and we prefer her to enjoy the end calmly.
Touch-up kit
recommandation
Although our goal is to keep your look flawless, we always recommend carrying a small emergency kit so you can feel confident at all times.
- Blotting papers: ideal for absorbing excess oil or sweat. Remember, always dab, never rub.
- Loose powder (such as Hourglass Veil): perfect for mattifying without weighing down the skin.
- Extra blush: to add a touch of intensity if you wish when transitioning from the ceremony to the evening.
- Lipstick from the trial: the shade we chose together, so you can touch it up when needed.
- Discreet hairpins: in case any stray strands escape during the celebration.
- Cotton buds or tissues: to gently wipe away tears before they affect your make-up (the water and oil in tears are the ‘perfect emulsion’ to ruin it).
This small kit can be carried by a bridesmaid or close family member, so that all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.
