Ok so finalllllyyy got home from my hair day long trial with Niquel. lol.

She put hair in for me and I did makeup so it took awhile. Pics are in my album.

My album

So here is what I think of it. I really liked this trial. I didn't feel like my makeup was caked on. But certain things he would have to do darker so you can actually notice it is there. I am not a hugeeee makeup person so it is not over the top and I like that. She has a makeup artist come in and do it.
Niquel is a sweetheart! I love how the back curls came out. The front needs some work. I like how the one side with my swooped bang looks but not the other. Part of the reason is since the hair was just put in, it is stiff and not easy to lay flat, so that is part of the problem. But overall I like it, and know she would work out the front and make it look picture perfect that day. Since she just charges to style it, and not a typical trial price then I may go back again for a wash and blow and do another run at it to get it perfect.
I want one other place to go for a trial to compare, but she is for sure in the running! I will be going back there to get hair in even if I do not choose her for my wedding day stylist.

I like niquel's work better than the other one. Even though the pic was not great, i could tell the make up was better.
Are u planning on wearing your hair down for your wedding?

like your second trial.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Yea I will be wearing a half up half down style...but mostly down. More or less like the pic...but the front how it's pulled back has to be done much better.

makes sense. Today wasn't really a trial. I went to go have hair put it....and the way she styled it was trying out for the wedding. That's what I like about her. So I'll have to go back to get the hair tightened at some point near the end of the summer...so I will do the same thing, and make sure the style is perfected.

Hopefully by then I will have my veil to get a better idea as well.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Hi ladies! I was wondering who everyone was using as an officiant for your ceremony? I'm leaning towards my childhood pastor.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I am also using the past at my moms church. Just found out she may be moving to NC, but said she will come back up for my wedding....hope so because I have no other back up plan!!


Any other ladies get any hair and makeup trials done recently?

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I am using the Pastor from the Church I am a member of now. I don't get to go often but I love the Church and his style. We have a couple of counseling sessions scheduled with him mid-July.
