I've been debating the hair/makeup trial because of the cost... but I think ultimately I've decided to do it. I know it's common to get this done before a party such as a shower, which sounds like a good idea to me, except the people I've hired for hair and makeup don't do trials Friday-Sunday. Which I get, since it'll be wedding season, but when else would I do it? I'm taking almost no days off between now and November, and I'm probably not going to get an updo and full makeup before work one day LOL. So now I'm stuck. Anyone else run into this? I wonder if they have any flexibility in this.
