Last-minute wedding hair help!!

melissabcarr

Hi everyone,
I'm getting married on Sept. 18th (two weeks!!) and at the last minute a friend offered to pay for my hair to be done.  I was going to do DIY since we're on a low budget.  Anyway, I'm a pretty low-makeup, natural kinda girl and we're having a backyard wedding, so I'm looking for someone who is:

1.  Available,
2.  Affordable,
3. Awesome!

Any recommendations?  I'd prefer someone who can come onsite and maybe if it's not too expensive I can splurge on makeup.  Other girls may want their hair done too, but right now it's only me.

Thanks, Knotties!
Love,
Melissa

If you just do a search on this board you'll find a lot of postings on hair/makeup reviews and suggestions. It sounds like you may need someone who can do both hair and makeup, or a hair person who can bring a makeup person with them depending on what you decide.  With two weeks out your choice might be a bit limited, but if you don't have a huge bridal party wanting it done, that makes it easier. Just remember to ask people what their travel/onsite fees will be -- it's often much cheaper just to go to the salon (and you could put the money you'd save towards makeup services.)
Keep Austin Gorgeous, LucieMarie, Wild Orchid Salon, Edelweiss Salon, Orbit Salon, Rae Cosmetics, Jeni Hoover, milk + honey salon, Frenchy's, Tracy McCaskill... all are some that have been suggested on this board.

I just had my trial run with a girl here in Austin and she is AMAZING! She does BEAUTIFUL make-up and stunning hair. her website is beautybyapril.com and her price for a trial and the day of for me was $110. In my opinion, having a DIY wedding, she is perfect. hope that helps!
