CARA CLYNE
YOUR EXCLUSIVE
experience
Being a Cara Clyne bride means you’ve created an oasis of exquisite style and radiant calm for your wedding day.
When we work together, you’ll never worry about a thing, especially communication and clarity.
Right from when we meet for your bridal trial, you’ll notice a distinct difference.
Chances are, you’d have heard your fair share of “trial tragedies” from your girlfriends.
Of stylists who didn’t listen, didn’t guide, or disastrously managed to make the bride-to-be bawl.
But, your Cara Clyne Exclusive bridal trial, my beautiful bride, will be oh-so-refreshingly different.
Not only will you not be rushed or squeezed into a minuscule 60-minute trial, but you’ll also find me to be a keen listener and an empathetic expert.
YOU’LL GET A FULL 2 HOURS FOR YOUR
bridal trial.
You’ll meet with me for a personal consultation. You’ll share your vision, the styles you’ve got in mind and have been bookmarking for months.
You’ll hear me share what I feel would be the best option given your dress, body type, hair type, and length.
You and I will decide on one hairstyle to try out. And then, we'll make magic.
We'll try hair accessories or your veil to see the complete look.
And when you go back home, not only will you have the hairstyle you've dreamed about but also photos of the trial session to keep as references.
YOUR WEDDING DAY
BRIDAL HAIRSTYLE WISHES...
Granted!
Even on the day of your wedding, you’ll find me there right on time and ready to make you look and feel like the best version of yourself. #pinterestworthy
I ONLY BOOK ONE WEDDING A DAY.
You’ll not worry about touch-ups for portrait photos and getting ready shots.
You’ll have me at hand to ensure the veil is securely put on and looks stunning.
You’ll happily wave at me when you step into the car because...
...*cue the F.R.I.E.N.D.S soundtrack*
“I’ll be there for you.”
BREATHE. RELAX. LAUGH.
Be the bride you’ve dreamt of being
Cara is so amazing to work with. She is super organised and leading up to the big day, she was very helpful to help confirm the best time to have the trial, provide a run sheet, provide clear instructions on hair preparation and extremely responsive to all of our questions and emails. On top of that, she is also the loveliest person to work with!! She was prompt, funny and made us feel at ease while we got ready in the morning. Her craftsmanship is also next level and I received so many compliments! We had an early start with the Chinese Tea Ceremony and my hair did last the distance and still looked amazing beyond the first look and ceremony later that evening (as well as all the bridesmaids). Thanks again Cara for making us look and feel so fabulous!!

Not only is she a hairstylist for your perfect day, but she will also be your friend to help you calm the nerves and look after you outside of hair duties.
"This lady knows what she is doing! Cara is professional, genuine, fun, and warm-hearted.
Not only is she a hairstylist for your perfect day, but she will also be your friend to help you calm the nerves and look after you outside of hair duties.
She stayed with me right until we went to the church on the day of the wedding, just to make sure I was ok. It’s hard to find that in a person.
Cara got my style right from one trial, I trusted her work and she really almost brought me to tears when I saw the result. It was beautiful and everyone commented on how great my hair looked on the best day of my life.
All my bridesmaids loved their hair too."

Cara Clyne, the Queen of hair is the best of the best!
“Every girl dreams of looking like royalty on their wedding day, and I being the Disney princess that I am, wanted nothing less.
When I proposed this idea to Cara she immediately took on my vision and brought it to life.
During my trial, she took the time to listen, and the time to style the perfect look.
She even went the extra mile to change the look of my hair so that I could then go to my engagement party all 'dolled up'.
But it didn't stop there.
During my wedding day, she took great care of me. She did not leave once her job was complete; instead, she stayed to make sure my hair was perfect during photos and even came to the rescue when my fake eyelashes fell off.
I cannot thank Cara enough for making me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day. It is so clear that she has a passion and a love for her job, and for people.”

Cara took the time to understand what I liked and didn’t like during the trial.
“What can I say? Look no further!! My best friend and I were saying how lucky we both feel to be able to book Cara.
I initially didn’t want to do a trial because I knew her work was great but it was compulsory.
I’m so glad we did one!
She took the time to understand what I liked and didn’t like during the trial. We went through her past work, other stylists’ work and she got me to point out what I liked and didn’t like. It helped me narrow down what I would like and didn’t feel rushed at all!
Cara was also very friendly and happy! Just the kind of vibes you need when you’re stressed on your big day.
It certainly made a difference to me! Thank you Cara for making me feel so beautiful on the day.”
IT’S THE
LITTLE THINGS
There is a reason why, when you work with me, you get a bridal experience, unlike what any other hairstylist offers. That's because my process makes it soooo easy for you to know just what’s happening. When and what steps to expect next. I think of the little things, so you don’t have to.

THE QUESTIONS YOU’VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK ME…
(and their answers, of course!)
Can I get a trial first and then, book you?
Unfortunately no. However, I understand your concerns which is why I’m inviting you to review my Instagram page to not only see the styles I do but also hear from more brides.
My bridal trials are only for clients who have booked and placed a deposit.
I just need a simple style. Do I really need a bridal trial?
A bridal trial is not an extra step. It’s an ESSENTIAL step.
The reason it's compulsory for ALL brides and why I give the appointment so much time is that it’s important to talk about what you like and don’t like.
Because, sometimes you think you might like something, but then when you try it on, you realise it doesn’t suit you.
Having a trial appointment will help you better understand what works and what doesn’t. This gives you the confidence and peace-of-mind needed on the day of the wedding.
When is a good time to do a bridal hair trial?
I recommend doing your bridal hair trial about 3 months from the wedding date. BUT don’t leave it for the last month.
With about 12 weeks to go for the wedding, you would have had almost everything locked in.
You’ll have a good understanding of how your gown, your makeup, styling for the event will look like, etc., and this helps with choosing the best hairstyle that suits the theme of the wedding and compliments you the most.
Do I need to pay extra for a hair trial?
The normal cost of a bridal trial is $300. If you wish to try 2 hairstyles it will cost $450 and we will need to allow about 3 hours for this.
Can I try 2 hairstyles at the bridal trial?
If you would like to try out two looks, please get in touch with me so we can organise additional time. Extra cost will apply as I need to allow more time for this appointment.
Can my mum or bridesmaids have a hair trial too?
Bridal trials are exclusively for brides only so I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to extend trials to other members of the bridal party.
How much is the deposit?
If you are happy with the proposal and would like to secure your wedding date, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required immediately after you’ve signed the contract. This is deducted from your total invoice.
Can I make changes to my booking after paying the deposit?
Yes, you can. You may add additional services if time allows but you can’t remove services.
You may also change the ‘getting ready’ time as long as I’m able to start after 7 AM.
If it’s a big bridal party and you are required to finish earlier, you will be charged an assistant fee to help speed up the hairstyling process.
Your ‘getting ready’ location may also change and I will revise the travel fee accordingly.
How much time will it take for you to style everyone’s hair on the wedding day?
It will depend on the hairstyle and once we’ve decided on the styles, I’ll give you a more accurate estimate of time.
For example, ponytails and Hollywood waves will be more time consuming than upstyles. Usually, I allow 1 - 1.5 hours for the bride, and 45 minutes - 1 hour for everyone else.
If members in your bridal party need to have hair extensions applied, I’ll add on an extra 15 minutes per person.
Can I book you to just do my hair and not everyone else’s?
You can absolutely do that but my minimum booking is still $1,400 per wedding because I only take one wedding a day. Unless your wedding is between Monday to Thursday, then I can offer $700 for bride only + travel fees.
Will you be there for me when I’m getting photos taken?
Yes! My brides love that I’m not rushing off for another job or that they have to travel to meet me. I *only* book ONE wedding a day.
I’ll be there at your getting ready location to do your hair.
After that, I will stay for an extra 1.5 hours to help you while you are getting dressed and having photos taken.
I’m there to make sure you look perfect in all your getting ready photographs until you need to leave to walk down the aisle.
Do you take bookings for special occasions or events?
Unfortunately, I only offer hair education and wedding services. I don't offer individual appointments for special occasions or events.
