Seems like slim pickings now...

that I procrastinated so long to book my hair and makeup. I wrote to a bunch of vendors yesterday...got emails back quickly saying many of them are booked already for my date. Which must have been the reason why in my dream last night I was about to walk down the aisle in my dress and I realized that had on no makup whatsoever and my hair wasn't done.

Don't stress I'm feeling the same way! I also did a search on the knot some vendors are different over there. Many here are booked for my date too!

What about going to a regular salon?? thats what I'm going to do b/c I'll have about 14 women getting their hair done lol but they are also accomodating and will usually open up early and at least there is multiple people to do both hair and makeup

Everyone is booked already for my date...I might try the salon idea bc we have like 10 people getting their hair done..

And we didnt book too late! People just booked too early lol

Wow you have alot of people getting their hair done! It seems that I may have to do that...what salon are you using? where?

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

just a suggestion, do you have a favorite person who does your hair regularly? If so, what about asking him /her...I am doing that b/c my person does both hair and makeup out of a salon...and if not, maybe someone knows someone who does this not just for special occasions, it might broaden your choice selection for your date. i go to elizabeth arden red door salon in woodbury and many of the people there do both hair and makeup...hth...good luck and feel free to fm me if you want any info ...

We're using Cactus Salon in Plainview. Thats my regular salon and its not far from the hotel and church so i thought it would be great. I spoke to someone and I told her I'd have almost 15 girls coming with me. so she said no problem, they'll open early for me and have a stylist for everyone. Or at least enough to get everyone in and out fast. And she said i dont have to finalize everything until 2 months before.

Get out of here! That's so funny because as you were talking about using a salon that's the salon that came to mind because Melissa does my color there! I her!!!! Do you mind either posting or FM'ing me how much they're charging you.

uh oh I've been procrastinating too...I havent even started looking for make up.

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

My hair stylist also does make up. Her salon is CIrage.

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

Just do a google search, like 'traveling make-up artist and long island', etc. There are SO many out there in addition to this site, or try a salon too like others suggested. Good luck!

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

what if you post on the vendors helping brides page to see who is available for your date? Hair stylists aren't really a big deal because there are so many stylists that do an amazing job, it's just the make-up artist you have to be careful with. I've seen a few girls who had trials at bare essentials and they've always come out gorgeous and the make-up artist will travel to you the day of.

I used Sachiko Yanase, who did full hair and makeup for me, MOB, and MOG, and hair only for the BMs. I was very, very happy with her work! When looking at a picture of us they other day, even DH remarked that she did a good job. FM me if you want more info.


ETA: spelling.

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

Don't worry melissa you'll find somebody, theres so many out there and we just know all the names we usually see on here but there are plenty more that we dont know about...I'll try to see what other names i can find for you. ALso ask everlovingev, i remember pics from her trial and her make up looked GORGEOUS, just gotta find out if who she used travels to LI, but thats just one possibility. Oooo it just came to me, at lumara theres a girl who does make up, she did my make up for a wedding i went to and she did a great job and was so nice, although she works in a salon i wonder if you can request for her to come to your house, many of them would do that and do this alot...Alright date twin ill try to see who i can find, i mean on LIW youll see about 15-20 names all the time, theres ALOT more make up and hair artists than that lol.

Re: Seems like slim pickings now...

There was recently a post for hair and make up....most of the posts were for people who are not vendors on here, so that might open up your options a lot more....I'm sure not all of them are booked for your day. Just keep looking and calling.....good luck!!
