Your Big Day Prep with Diva Me Bella: Weddings, Quinces, and Red Carpet Events!

Whether it’s your quinceañera, wedding, or any other major celebration, your big day is one of the most memorable moments in your life. At Diva Me Bella, we believe that preparing your skin and hair in the days leading up to your event is key to achieving that flawless, radiant look. Here’s a gentle guide to help you feel your most beautiful self, no matter what occasion you’re celebrating.

Leading Up to Your Big Day

Nourish Your Skin and Hair

In the months before your event, establish a simple yet effective skincare routine. Cleanse, moisturize, and always apply sunscreen to protect your skin. If you have specific skin concerns, consider adding gentle exfoliants or hydrating masks. For your hair, use deep-conditioning treatments regularly to keep it healthy, strong, and shiny. Avoid harsh chemical treatments close to the big day to prevent unnecessary damage to your hair.

Hydrate from Within

Drinking plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your celebration is essential not just for your skin but for your overall well-being. Staying hydrated will give your skin a natural glow and help your hair look its best. Combine this with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats to ensure you feel and look radiant from the inside out.

Stick to Your Tried-and-True Routine

While it can be tempting to try new beauty products or treatments right before your event, we recommend sticking to what you know works well for your skin and hair. This will minimize the risk of unexpected reactions or irritation. If you're planning on indulging in professional treatments like facials or peels, schedule them well in advance to give your skin plenty of time to recover and glow. For services like dermaplaning, be sure to have it done at least 7 days prior to any makeup application for a smooth, flawless base.

Timing Your Spray Tan

If you’re planning on getting a spray tan, schedule it three days before your big day. This gives the color time to settle evenly and ensures a natural glow. Make sure to have at least two showers before your event to prevent any color transfer onto your outfit.

Trials Are Key

Book your hair and makeup trials minimum of 90 days in advance to collaborate with your artist and ensure the perfect look for your celebration. Bring 2-3 inspiration pictures so we can tailor the look to complement your natural beauty. This trial is the time to experiment and fine-tune, ensuring that when your big day comes, you feel completely confident in your final look.

On the Day of Your Event

Arrive Fresh-Faced and Ready

On the day of your event, come with clean, makeup-free skin and one-day-old, oil-free hair. This provides us with the ideal canvas for your hair and makeup to last throughout the celebration. If you're using clip-in extensions, make sure they’re prepped and ready for installation. Read our blog on extension prep here.

Swiper NO Swiping!

Once your hair and makeup are complete, it’s important to avoid touching your face and hair. The natural oils on your hands can disrupt your makeup and flatten curls. Let everything settle in, and trust that your look will stay intact for the entire event.

Stay in Sync with Your Artist

Your big day is all about you, and we’re here to make sure you feel and look your absolute best. Open communication with your hair and makeup artist is key to ensuring every detail is tailored to your preferences. We encourage you to bring inspiration photos for both hair and makeup so we can customize the look to complement your unique facial features, hair length, and texture. To ensure everything stays flawless, we also recommend scheduling a 15-minute touch-up session at the end for any final adjustments before the festivities begin.

Simplify Payment

For ease and convenience, we suggest assigning one person to handle any final payments for your group. This allows you to focus on enjoying your day without worrying about logistics. Payments are due after services are completed, and gratuity is always appreciated.

Final Thoughts

The days leading up to your big celebration are filled with excitement, but by maintaining a consistent skincare and haircare routine, you can ensure that you look and feel your absolute best. At Diva Me Bella, we’re dedicated to making sure you shine with confidence and grace on your big day. By following these gentle recommendations and collaborating with our talented team, your dream look will become a reality.
