hair and makeup trials
hi ladies--
i am currently thinking about hair and makeup artists, and i am running into a situation i wasn't expecting: i always thought that i would have the hair and akejp trials before i booked these artists just to make sure that i like them. but in talking with some of them, it sounds like people book them first and then have their trials closer to their weddings. my wedding is not until september and i plan to grow my hair, so i don't know that it makes sense to do a trial until the summer. how do most of you go about this? do you book someone and then do your trial later, or do the trial first? if you book without the trial, how do you know it is going to be the look that you want later? thanks for your help with this one!

Re: hair and makeup trials
Ultimately, I wanted to get these vendors booked as I know they be booked far in advance. So, I looked through all of the pictures on Kristin's site and asked brides on here for pictures of their hair if Sam C was their stylist. Most people are happy to share, and for me, looking at the photos gave me a great idea of whether it would all be a good fit.

I had a trial with a MUA and hated it, so I was on a last-minute search for one (like literally, weeks before the wedding). Skinplicity had a cancellation, so I went in for a trial asap and loved everything, so I booked then. I think for makeup, as long as you like the application style (airbrush, mineral, MAC, etc.) then you would be fine to go with the popular MUAs before a trial. But if you're trying out a new-to-the-scene MUA, definitely do a trial first!!!!!
