trials are essential to

TRIAL DETAILS

    • Trials include a preview of up to two styles per person

    • Trials typically take 60-90 minutes for the trial, plus 15 minutes for set up & 15 minutes for clean up. Your trial appointment will be scheduled for a 2 hour block, although it may or may not take this entire time.

    • We do not recommend scheduling your trial on the same date of an actual event (such as engagement photos, bridal shower or rehearsal) since we will likely be trying out more than one style, your hair will not be “event ready.” The trial is designed to give you a preview of what your wedding hair will look like and try out a few different options if you’re unsure.

    • If you are using clip-in extensions on your wedding day, please have them ready to use at your trial as well so you can see your full completed look and get a true test for the longevity of the style. If you are using any other type of extensions, we do recommend also having them installed for your trial.

  • Once you have secured booking your wedding date, we will reach out to schedule your trial 2-3 months prior to your wedding date.

    If you have already had a trial & would like to book another, please let us know via email anytime!

  • If anyone other than the bride would like to schedule a hair trial prior to the wedding day, please email or have the guests email hello@kimikonewyork.com

    Include the following information:

    1. Guest(s) first and last name

    2. How many people would like to have a hair trial within the same appointment day and location

    3. What time you would like your trial to start and/or what time you need to be done by

    4. The exact address where the trial will take place

    5. An email address for the guest(s) if you are emailing on their behalf

    6. The best phone number to reach the guest(s) for the trial

  • We totally understand that emergencies happen. Here is my cancellation policy for trials:

    Please provide written notice via email to cancel your appointment.

    Trials must be paid in full seven days prior to the appointment.

    Retainer fees are non-refundable.

    Trials cancelled 5 days or more in advance - client may rebook any trial that has been paid in full for no additional charge other than any applicable travel fees due to change in appointment. For trials that have not been paid in full, the full retainer fee may be applied to the new trial date.

    Trials cancelled 2 to 4 days in advance - retainer is not refunded & client must pay an additional 20% of the current trial rate to book a new appointment 

    Trials cancelled less than 48 hours in advance - retainer is not refunded & client must pay the full current trial rate to book a new appointment

    *Additional travel fees may apply depending on the date and time of the new trial appointment

    Please note - there is a different cancellation policy for the wedding day, rehearsal, welcome party, or any related wedding event other than the trial. Please refer to your contract for the full policy.

  • Our Classic, Signature and Premium Packages have been crafted to include the bridal hair trial. By booking a package, you secure your wedding date and then we will reach out to schedule your trial 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. We find that doing your trial closer to your wedding date is beneficial because more of our brides have their dresses & accessories selected by this time to aid in selecting a hairstyle that will go with your overall look. You can also test the longevity of your style in similar weather as your wedding day.

    Of course, brides absolutely have the option of booking a trial prior to booking wedding day services. If you prefer this route, we can book your trial now. Booking a trial outside of a package starts at $450. If you are ready to move forward with booking after your trial, Bridal Styling A La Carte starts at $550. We require a 50% retainer fee and signed contract to hold your trial date. After your trial, to secure your wedding date, we would create a custom invoice for you.

    Please note - booking a trial first does not secure your wedding date. If we have another bride ready to secure her wedding day package, we will reach out to you first to see if you’d like to secure your date before moving forward with another bride.
