Timing your beauty treatments correctly is crucial for looking your best at a big event. Book too close and you risk swelling or adverse reactions. Book too far out and results may have faded.

  • Start a consistent skincare routine
  • Begin Botox treatments (allows time for adjustments)
  • Start laser hair removal series
  • Schedule a consultation for any new procedures

3 Months Before

  • Get a trial run of your event hair and makeup
  • Begin facial treatment series (monthly facials)
  • Start teeth whitening treatments
  • Consider microblading (allows full healing)

1 Month Before

  • Final Botox touch-up
  • Dermal filler adjustments
  • Deep conditioning hair treatments

1-2 Weeks Before

  • Final facial (nothing aggressive)
  • Eyelash extension full set
  • Final hair color appointment
  • Spray tan (3-5 days before for ideal fade)

Day Before

  • Gentle skincare routine only
  • Hydrate and get plenty of sleep
  • Avoid new products, alcohol, and salty foods
