Your Complete Bridal Beauty Timeline

Planning your wedding beauty look? Here is a month-by-month guide to ensure you are radiant on your big day — from skincare prep to the final hair and makeup trial.

3 Months Before

Start a consistent skincare routine. Book your first facial consultation and begin any restorative treatments. Finalize your wedding dress neckline to plan your hairstyle accordingly.

1 Month Before

Complete your trial makeup and hair session. Bring photos of your desired look. Begin using a brightening mask weekly. Schedule your brow shaping and lash lifts.

1 Week Before

Get a hydrating facial, finalize nail color, and avoid any new skincare products to prevent reactions. Hydrate and rest well.

The Day Before

Manicure, pedicure, eyebrow shaping, and a relaxing scalp massage. Pack your touch-up kit: lipstick, powder, blotting papers, and hair pins.

Your Wedding Day

Arrive with clean, moisturized skin. Trust your KUMI artist and enjoy every moment — you will look stunning.

Hair Care

Summer Hair Survival Guide

Humidity, sun exposure, and heat styling can leave hair dry and frizzy. Learn how to protect your hair and keep it silky smooth all summer long.

Hydrate from Within

Use a sulfate-free shampoo and follow with a deep conditioner. A weekly hair mask or spa treatment at KUMI will restore lost moisture.

Heat Protection Is a Must

Always apply a heat protectant spray before blow-drying or styling. Lower your tool temperature and avoid repeated passes.

Regular Trims

Schedule a trim every 6–8 weeks to remove split ends and maintain shape. Our haircuts and styling services keep your look fresh and healthy.

Treat Yourself to a Hair Spa

KUMI's hair spa treatments include deep conditioning, scalp massage, and protein therapy — ideal for revitalizing sun-stressed hair.
