Help - Hair Disaster!!!

I live in Texas but am getting married in Grand Ledge in September. I am supposed to be getting my hair done by a family friend who owns a salon locally for free but I went to do the trial run and I hated my hair do. She told me that she couldn't do a bun or a french twist on my hair. I'm torn because she is doing it as a favor and my fiance said I should get it done in Austin how I want and take pictures and have a guide for her on how to do it. I am thinking of finding someone new but I have no idea who to use because my old stylist from the area has moved on. 

Suggestions please! I am desperate and need help. Thanks Ladies!

    This is always tough...as a hairdresser, I would rather have my guests be honest with me than not tell me. Since she is your friend I am sure you don't want to hurt her feelings.

    Is it that your hair won't do what you want or she can't do the style? Do you have long enough hair for what you are looking for? ( Sometimes layers and length can prevent a style from being exactly how you want)

    Getting it done in TX isn't a bad idea, then you could show her pics with your hair, and that it can be done....maybe don't give her a guide because you don't want to offend her. Will you see her again for another trial before the wedding??

    Hope this is helping.....

    check out the post I made a couple spots down with the subject Vendor Reviews. My hair stylist is awesome, and she travels. She works at Stillman's Modern Barbers (don't be fooled by the really old fashioned name). She does all of my highlights, cuts, etc. and she is great. Please see the post for contact info.

    I'm not a stylist, but I work at BridgeWater Salon in Grand Ledge and the girls did everyone's hair for my wedding and it was beautiful! They're booked with weddings almost every weekend so they've got the experience. Sarah in particular I would recommend, she is the bridal specialist. You could talk to her about your concerns anyway, she might be able to help you out.

    Oooooh I second Stillmans! I go to Danni regularly and LOVE her! She was recommended by a friend and since then 3 more of my friends and my mother and sister have started seeing her and LOVE everything she does every time. She's super cute and fun to talk to too. I always look forward to my appointments. I haven't seen her updos but I can only imagine how wonderful they are and she would certainly be a pleasure to work with. Good luck!
