Planning Facials, Lashes and Waxing Before a Wedding or Big Day
A simple timeline for booking skin, lash and waxing appointments before a wedding, reunion or photo day in Livingston, so nothing new happens the week of.
The main rule
Nothing new in the final week. Treatments your skin has already had are the safe choice close to the day. Anything new, try it early enough that you know how your skin reacts.
A simple timeline
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 2 to 3 months before | Book a consultation. Agree a plan and pencil in dates. |
| 1 to 2 months before | Try any new facial or peel now, while there is time to adjust. |
| 3 to 4 weeks before | Dermaplaning, if it is part of your routine. Selah's menu notes most people book about every four weeks. |
| 1 to 2 weeks before | Lash lift and tint or lash extensions. A lash lift lasts six to eight weeks for most people. Brow shaping. |
| A few days before | Waxing, following your usual timing. |
| The week of | Only treatments you have had before. Gentle routine, sunscreen, sleep. |
Ask your esthetician to adjust this to your skin and your event. Some peels need more recovery time than others.

Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should I book for a wedding?
Book your consultation two to three months ahead, especially for busy seasons, so you have time to try treatments and still get the dates you want.
Should I try a peel for the first time the week before my wedding?
It is safer not to. Try new treatments weeks ahead so you know how your skin responds.
Lash lift or extensions for a wedding?
A lift curls and tints your own lashes and needs no upkeep. Extensions add fibres and need refills. Both are on Selah's lash and brow menu.
