# Algarve Wedding Hair and Makeup: Trials and Timing

Source: https://www.lovebirdsweddings.com/suppliers/algarve-wedding-hair-and-makeup/

Algarve wedding hair and makeup should be booked around the services needed and the time everyone must be ready. Nicole Soares recommends allowing 2.5 hours for a trial and lists about 90 minutes for wedding makeup; Julia Fratichelli describes a different approach, with a virtual consultation and around 2–3 hours for combined wedding-day styling.[1](https://www.nicolesoaresmakeup.com/faqs)[2](https://www.nicolesoaresmakeup.com/faqs)[5](https://juliafratichelli.com/en/styling/)[6](https://juliafratichelli.com/en/styling/)

## Questions and answers

### Does every artist offer an in-person trial?

Check the service description. The two examples here use different approaches, so decide whether an in-person appointment is important before booking.

### Can extra guests join the morning appointment?

Agree the final number of services in advance. Ask how extra appointments affect the team and finishing time.

### Should the trial be during our wedding trip?

Choose a date that leaves room to discuss changes and fits the artist’s arrangements. Confirm the location and service length before booking travel around it.
