Your wedding day is one of the biggest moments in your life, and you want to look your absolute best. While you’ll have expert help from JoAnn Solomon Beauty to achieve the perfect look, there are some things you should steer clear of to ensure everything goes smoothly. Here's a list of things to avoid so you can shine without a hitch!

1. Last-Minute Skincare Changes

It might be tempting to try a new facial or skincare product just before your wedding, but this is a big no-no. Your skin can have unexpected reactions to new products, which could lead to breakouts, redness, or irritation. Stick to the skincare routine you know and love in the weeks leading up to your wedding.

2. Excessive Sun Exposure

While a glowing tan may seem ideal, overexposing your skin to the sun can cause burns, peeling, and even discoloration. To avoid sunburn lines and damage, stay shaded or wear sunscreen with a high SPF in the weeks before your big day. A professional bronzing session or self-tanner can give you the perfect glow without the risks.

3. Skipping a Hair & Makeup Trial

Your wedding day is not the time for beauty surprises. Scheduling a trial run with our hair and makeup artists ensures that your look will be flawless and just as you envisioned. We will work with you to find the perfect style, so you’ll feel confident walking down the aisle.

4. Drastic Haircuts or Color Changes

Though a new haircut or hair color can feel exciting, the weeks leading up to your wedding aren’t the best time for drastic changes. If you want a fresh look, plan your cut or color well in advance so there’s time to adjust if needed.

5. Skipping Sleep

Pre-wedding jitters are normal, but sleep is your best friend when it comes to looking amazing on your wedding day. Lack of rest can lead to dark circles, puffiness, and a dull complexion. Try to get plenty of sleep in the days leading up to your wedding, and consider a relaxing nighttime routine to help you unwind.

6. Going Overboard with Makeup

Less is more when it comes to your wedding day makeup. Avoid the temptation to pile on heavy foundation or dramatic makeup unless that’s your everyday style. Our team at JoAnn Solomon Beauty knows how to create a look that enhances your natural features, so you’ll look like the best version of yourself.

7. Forgetting About Hydration

Hydrated skin looks fresh, glowing, and youthful. In the days before your wedding, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to keep your skin healthy and vibrant. Avoid alcohol and salty foods, as they can dehydrate you and cause puffiness.

8. Neglecting Self-Care

The weeks leading up to your wedding can be stressful, but stress shows on your skin. Take time for yourself with calming activities like yoga, meditation, or even a long walk to help you relax. Remember, when you feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside.


Avoiding these common mistakes will help ensure you look and feel amazing on your wedding day. At JoAnn Solomon Beauty, we’re here to make sure your hair and makeup are absolutely flawless, so you can focus on enjoying your special day. Let us handle the beauty while you shine!
