Of course. Any stylist can stay onsite for $150 per hour. 

How should my bridal party prepare for the wedding day?
Please be sure that everyone arrives with a clean, exfoliated face and clean, dry hair. If anyone has curly or frizzy hair, please have them arrive with their hair blown out and smoothed if they would like a smooth style. If they want to keep their natural curl, please come with hair styled as usual. Scheduling day before blow outs with us is a great way to have your hair ready and prepped for the wedding day!
We recommend that everyone have a picture or idea on hand of how they would like both their hair and makeup to look for the wedding. Pinterest is a very helpful source for all ages. Please be sure that everyone saves photos that are similar to their own hair type, hair color, skin tone, and eye color. Button down shirts or robes are highly recommended to make undressing easy and not to disrupt the style. Please see my hair prep guide for additional information.
