What we do for weddings
Bridal trials. A dedicated appointment where we build the look for the day, adjust it, and lock in the plan. It’s the most useful thing you can do to protect yourself from wedding-morning surprises. We recommend booking the trial with real time between it and the wedding, so you can sit with the look before you commit.
Day-of styling. The wedding-day appointment for the bride. We schedule it based on your ceremony time and how much other prep is happening that morning. If you’re getting ready at a venue in Old Town or at home nearby, we’ll talk about the logistics ahead of time.
Wedding party bookings. Bridesmaids, moms, friends of the bride, and anyone else in the party who wants their hair done together. We block time to handle a group so everyone leaves ready and on schedule.
Bridal hair and makeup. We offer both. If you want the whole look handled in one place, that’s what we do. If you already have a makeup artist you love, that’s also fine and we’ll coordinate.
Elopements and destination weddings. Smaller ceremonies, sometimes just the two of you and a witness. Same care, less orchestration. Estes Park brides and brides marrying in the wider Northern Colorado area regularly book with us. All couples are welcome here: all gender identities, all backgrounds.
Pricing and what to plan for
Wedding services are priced by consultation because the total depends on the size of the party, the number of services, the location, and how the day is structured. We give you a written quote before anything is confirmed, and we don’t add surprise charges the week of. Bridal is offered across all Parlour locations. For the citywide bridal page, see weddings.
Book the bridal trial early. Wedding-season weekends fill up months out at every good salon in Northern Colorado. If your wedding is a Saturday between May and October, expect to book your trial and day-of appointment with real lead time.
Bring reference images and your accessories to the trial. Photos of hair you like, a picture of your dress if you have one, and your veil, comb, or hair piece. We’ll style around it and test that it stays where it needs to stay. For a wedding-day style, the products matter more than usual because the hair has to hold through hours of photography, hugging, weather, and dancing. If you’re timing color leading up to the wedding, our balayage in Fort Collins page has the details.
The relationship after the wedding
Something we’ve noticed over the years: a lot of brides who come in for a wedding stay on as regular clients afterward. The wedding is the first appointment. Then the color, the haircut, the balayage touch-up before the anniversary. If that’s how it goes for you, we’re glad. If the wedding is a one-time visit, that’s fine too. Either way, we don’t approach bridal as a transaction.
Bridal is offered at every Parlour location, so if Old Town isn’t the most convenient spot for you, our weddings page covers the rest. But if your day is around Northern Colorado, this Old Town salon is built for it. More about the salon is on our Fort Collins location page, and if you’re planning color leading up to the wedding, our Hair Color page has the menu.
