Getting your hair done!

Ok ladies -  I need a hair cut.  Just a trim and relayering the mess that is on my head right now.  I always dye my hair myself, but I am never crazy about the color.  I think I am going to shell out the big bucks and get my hair dyed professionally when I get it cut this time.  I have 23 days left until the wedding and my hair grows fast - I don't want major roots at my wedding.  When do you suggest getting my hair dyed/cut before the wedding?  When I dye it myself it turns brassy for about 5 days, not sure if a salon can make it a great color with no brassiness right away or not.

Thanks!

The salon should be able to take care of the brasiness.  I would go two weeks in advance in the event you need them to alter the color if you don't like it.  I'm personally going 3 1/2 weeks in advance b/c my hair doesn't grow that quickly and it's right before my bridal shower and the last week I'm in town and can go to someone I trust.  Good luck!

I'm thinking I'll get my hair trimed and highlighted about 10 days before. My hair grows fast as well.

I'm getting my hair cut and colored this Saturday and my wedding is the 13th so 2 weeks exactly

I just got my hair trimmed this past Saturday and I am getting my highlights done a week before for the wedding (wedding is April 20th). I am not getting it trimmed again since I want it to grow up. I've had my highlights done by the same person for years, so I'm not worried about having to fix anything and that's why I am going so close to the wedding.

If you do all-over color I would suggest maybe a week and a half to two weeks in advance. You can always touch up roots if you need to closer to the wedding.

ETA: The salon uses different kinds of dyes than what comes out of the box, they should have no problem with the brass-factor.
