Planning a wedding or special event in East Tennessee is exciting — but when it comes to hair and makeup, timing truly matters. Whether you’re a nearlywed/bride, prom babe, or getting ready for a professional photoshoot, following a beauty timeline helps everything feel calm, polished, and stress-free.

At Chop Chop Beauty Club, weddings are our specialty, but our expert hair and makeup artists also love creating beautiful looks for proms, photo sessions, and special events throughout Knoxville, Chattanooga and the Smoky Mountains.

Here’s a simple beauty timeline to help you feel confident and prepared.

6-12 Months Before Your Event

This is the perfect time to start dreaming. If you’re considering hair color changes, growing your hair longer, or adding extensions for a wedding, this is when we recommend beginning. Brides/Nearlyweds especially benefit from long-term planning to achieve healthy, photo-ready hair. It’s also a great time to focus on consistent skincare.

3 Months Before

This is the sweet spot for bridal/nearlywed hair and makeup previews in East Tennessee. Previews allow our artists to customize your look to your face shape, hair texture, dress, and overall vision. For prom or photoshoots, this is a great time to gather inspiration and book your artist early — popular dates fill fast.
