1. Give exact, adequate directions and phone numbers. Many time brides give the directions they follow and forget the stylist may be coming from the opposite side of the highway.

2. Make sure you have a place set up for the stylist to work. (One bride assumed I would be working from the bathroom and one set me up in her dark bedroom until her father-in-law kicked my out so he could get dressed. Personally, I like to work from a large will lit dining room or kitchen table.)

3. Don't assume the stylist can do extra people last minute. Make sure everyone who is having their hair done is mentioned ahead of time and arrives promptly.

4. Be ready yourself and prepare extra time for interruptions.
