Name the booked artist and specify whether any substitute needs the client's approval, rather than buying only a salon's brand name.
The salon should explain the product-specific testing advice, its limitations and when a qualified clinician should assess a concern.
Ask how tools are cleaned between clients and how products are dispensed without contaminating the main container.
Discuss a new treatment with an appropriately qualified clinician and consider reactions and recovery before scheduling it near the wedding.
Ask for the henna product's ingredients and any colouring additives; a natural or black-henna label is not a reliable safety assurance.
Agree the shade on the client's actual skin under useful lighting, and treat a filtered reference image as inspiration rather than a colour standard.
Work backwards from the required arrival time, allowing for dressing, travel and a realistic delay buffer after the beauty appointment.
Confirm a clean, suitably lit working area, practical access and the client's privacy boundaries before the artist arrives.
Ask for an itemised explanation and compare the charge with the confirmed booking before authorising additional work or payment.
Get an appropriate eye-care assessment and properly fitted lenses rather than treating decorative contact lenses as ordinary costume accessories.
Make the client's own preferences the starting point and reject pressure to lighten skin or change natural features to qualify as bridal.
