So I decided I was going to nix my friend doing my hair and decided to go with the hairdresser who did my haor for 4 proms. I looked her up online and she has 2 locations. Cool. Not cool. They moved and added the address rather than change it. Shes out in B'Ville with is 30 min from me and I already need to get my hair done at 7:30am! Soooooooo I need to find someone else...or deal with the friend who can only really do 1 style of updo. Sht. I love that I thought this through.
Any ideas?? I really reeeeeeeeeeeeally dont want to be spending alot and thats one of my biggest problems.
Ive got too much going on in my head. Maybe I should set up a time with my friend and have her try a few other hair styles? She did a really nice job on my hair for FSILs wedding (in the pic below) but she admitted to teaching herself that and convincing prom girls that they wanted that style...but maybe if I find one I want and have her practice that? Grrr.
I need your thoughts!

Re: HELP!!!!
Maybe ask her to come over and practice a few different styles. Make a night out of it and offer to cook/order dinner and supply a glass (or bottle) of wine.
You have plenty of time for her to learn and perfect a style that you want... if the both of you are willing to put in the time to practice.
I am asking one of my BM's to do the same... help me find a new style that will work... then bring pics in to the hair salon to see if they can do it for me. I don't want to pay and more $$$ for more hair trials.... but I know I am going to have to play with it a lot to find something that will work.
If you are looking to save $, I would definitely stick with your friend... just make sure you have the time to spend with her to create a style that you are totally happy with. If you give her a few shots and she still isn't coming though with a look you love, I would cut your losses and find a salon.... definitely don't settle... you would be kicking yourself in the butt for all eternity every time you look at a wedding pic.

And I had my friend cut it b/c I figured I didnt need it all. So now its at my shoulders and the styles I like are for long hair! Haha.
I made my sister promise me that she'd call me as soon as she wanted to start planning b/c I have a list of everything I'd do differently

But notice that the 2 in the middle are pretty much the same thing as what I had done for FSILs wedding. I love the hairdresser that did my prom styles b/c she was soooo different. If I had them online I would totally show you girls. Maybe I can find pics to show you girls at the bridal show or if we meet for drinks. But now Im leaning toward the first pic which is very simple and generic but Im lovin it right now. Hm.
Ok next question. I have a big forehead (or as Josh calls it, my 5 head!) I love him. I really do. Haha. And I was thinking that after the wedding I'd try out a side swept bang....but maybe I should have it done now?! It would make me feel less selfconscious in my wedding pics and if I dont like it she can always pin it back into the hair style right? Oooo!
I did tell you guys I was all wedding all this week right?! Haha My mind is finally able to run through all my wedding possibilities without work or school getting in the way.

I talked to my stylist about doing my hair completely up for the ceremony and then letting 1/2 down for the reception, but she was not too keen on the idea.
She said unless the person taking 1/2 down knew exactly which pins to pull out, it could be disasterous. boo.
I love the idea of sideswept bangs though and if you can pull it off, heck yeah!!!

I should probably clarify b/c there are about a billion pics in this post.
The picture where you are trying on your dress. Your hair is short and down, with one side pulled back behind your ear.
It is so simple, but really does look great on you!

Out of the pics your posted, I would say #2 or #3... I am kind of a fan of the messy look.... but I can see what you mean about being afraid it would fall out.
I agree with Kara on #1... a little "second wedding"-ish
#4 is umm... very... umm... slick and dome-ish. not you
I can see your dress looking fab with a silk flower vs shiney stuff. Seems like it might fit a little better. Dunno... just a thought
