Hiring a Hair Stylist for your Wedding Day may seem like a simple task, but many brides are unhappy with their hair on their special day. This article is full of valuable insight from a former wedding professional to help brides-to-be make smart decisions to improve their wedding day happiness.
Brides should decide how they generally want to wear their hair before purchasing a headpiece. Many types of veils and headpieces can limit the way hair can be worn. If unsure, before shopping, it is smart to get recommendations from a hairdresser who specializes in styling hair based on face shapes and features. However, it is best to have the brides hair preview consultation after they have their headpiece, to ensure there are no last minute surprises such as the veil hides the intricate up-do or the tiara won't fit with the placement of curls.
Salon stylists often have qualifications ranging from one extreme to another. Brides often determine who they will hire for their wedding services based on their budget. Prices for doing a bridal parties hair may depend on the stylists training, experience, and reputation or purely on their ego! On brides special day, she deserves results not attitude! Price quotes for hairstyling may vary extremely. Although two quotes may be similar, the styilists job performance and the brdies satisfaction may completely differ. Regardless if someone wants formal hairstyling or a simple up-do, they should do their research and ask others for referrals. Many stylists that specialize in working with brides have web sites with online portfolios to view.
No matter who a bride hires to do her hair, she must insist on a hairstyling preview appointment. Most good hairstylists are booked many months in advance. So before a preview is booked, make sure the stylist is available on the wedding date and can complete the number of people in the bridal party that need hairstyling before everyone needs to be ready for the photographer. This is typically two hours before the wedding ceremony starts.
At a preview consultation, the bride-to-be's hair should look exactly as she wants it to be on her wedding day. A bridal client should never put up with a stylist saying things like, "Don't worry, I'll do it curlier at your wedding" or "Of course at your wedding it will look better." The whole point of the preview appointment is for the stylist to show what they are capable of. If not 100% happy with the results, then the bride should seek out another stylist.
Make sure that whomever is hired for hairstyling offers "on location" services. This saves everyone in the bridal party valuable time that would be wasted driving to and from a busy salon where the staff may be running behind schedule on a weekend. Not to mention the possible chaos from anyone in the wedding party that is from out of town that may get lost and hold things up t the salon or ceremony.
