dilema

so ive been a hairstylist for 4 years now and i dont want someone else to do my hair for the wedding

i guess since i do it i think i wont behappy..and i dont want it to styled anyways

im wanting to do at least my own hair

is that crazy?

i don't think it's crazy at all.

If I could actually DO something with my hair (other then a ponytail) I'd consider it....why spend all the money to potentially be disapointed...

...that's no fun. Besides YOU know exactly what you want...no explaining involved.

But it doesn't hurt to do trials with someone, just for piece of mind...

No it's not crazy - and you'll save mucho dollars.


Just don't cut it off like that psycho bride!!!!!

Me too!

I hate to be the lone voice of dissent here, but I have to say I don't think it's a great idea if you're going for an updo. You'll be stressed enough on your wedding day - why add to it? I know that when I'm doing my hair in the morning, sometimes there's a lump in my ponytail that won't go away, or one curl in the back that won't go down, and after a few tries, I think, 'eh, screw it, I'll just go to work with it looking like this.' But you certainly can't do that on your wedding day, and annoying little things like that can happen to anyone, I'm sure, hairdresser or not.

Do you have any hairdresser friends that can help you out? Or at least a friend who's good with this kind of thing (or whom you can train to do your particular 'do) to at least do the back for you? If you want to save money, I think that's how you should go.

I feel the same way...
My mother is a hairdresser. There is no way I would let her do my hair my wedding day, because I know she will be stressed. Knowing her she will be more stressed than I am. I don't want her to have to worry about doing my hair. I asked her which one of her friends (who are hairdressers) would like to do my hair that morning, at least it will be someone she knows and that will hopefully keep her comfortable and calm.

If you go for a trial with someone at least you will have a chance to meet someone else. If you find out that you really don't like someone else doing it then do it.

Good luck!

i don't think its crazy, but do you think that you will be calm enough to be able to do it.

I know that I would prob be freaking out, but if you think you could.. go for it.. you'll prob be happier
