The week before:
Hair cut and/or color
Whiten teeth
One or two days before:
Manicure (neutral nails) and pedicure (fun colors are great for toes!)
Wax or tweeze eyebrows
The morning of your session:
Moisturize everywhere!
Arrive at the studio with clean, dry, unstyled hair and a clean, moisturized face
Wear a button-up shirt so you can easily change into your first outfit without a touchup.
