No Brazilian waxing for me, I got laser which I highly recommend, but from my past experience with them I would do it maybe Monday or Tuesday for a Friday. Eyebrows the weekend before, mani/pedi the day before. I'm getting my hair trimmed about a month before. I've never had one and don't plan on getting one but I've read that if you want to get a facial to do it at least two weeks before.

This!!

Bikini wax/ Braz: A week before. I'm so afraid of forgetting with everything else that will be going on. Lol

Eyebrows: 2-3 days before

Nails (mani, pedi): The day before. It always chips so fast

Pre wedding haircut: Not doing this, my hair is still not long enough for the wedding

Bikini wax- week before

Spray tan - not getting one. i'm hoping i'll still have a summer tan, if not i might hit the tanning bed a couple of times. The Monday before will be the closest I'll do that

Eyebrows- 3 days before since I go by my office in the city

Nails - day before

pre wedding haircut - ugh still trying to figure this out bc i'm going to need to go in the next few weeks (roots are starting to get bad)

I'm a Friday bride!

Bikini wax/ Braz: Never did it, but I'm thinking the week before. I need to do more research, and I'll probbaly just do my legs. We're going to Iceland, but I will be swimming in the 'Blue Lagoon'

Spray Tan: I'm going tomorrow for my first one so I will decide then. My options will be Tuesday or Thursday since the rehearsal is Wednesday and I can't do it that day.

Eyebrows: Probably Monday

Nails (mani, pedi): Thursday, I always ruin them.

Pre wedding haircut/ color (highlights): Mid August (for 9/6 wedding)

this is pretty much what i was thinking- my spray tan was best on the 3rd or 4th day but u cant get a mani / pedi after. i may skip the spray tan..... but then i gotta regular 'tan' to even my tan lines out!

I asked my MUA when I should get my eyebrows done and she recommended a week before, just in case the wax is too hot and they burn you. Does anyone have a recommendation where in Nassau (south shore) to go for eyebrows?

---

i get mine threaded, and found a groupon! i'm going to go soon to 'test' them.

My hair is already long. My problem is I should have gone sometime in June to get a trim and a full head of highlights again. I was way too stressed out in June and had too much to do that I forgot. I have no time to go until the second weekend of August. Ughhhh women have it so rough!!!

Mine is already long also. My sister is my hairdresser. Since I get single process color she is doing it only a few days before so my roots don't show. She will give me a 1/2 inch trim at that point.

What's the place you go for your eyebrows in the city? I'm midtown and i'm looking for a good place.

Bikini wax/ Braz. - I'm not getting this done. I've actually done laser so waxing isn't really necessary.

Spray Tan - I'm hoping to not have to do this. I'm hoping I'll still have some leftover summer tan by then and when I do go out in the sun I only wear strapless bikinis so I won't have any visible lines in my dress. Even when I go out to eat or something during the day I wear strapless sundresses or shirts. I'm pretty anal about my tan-lines for this.

Eyebrows - I'm probably going to go the week before or maybe even two weeks. Mine don't grow in fast and just in case I get a break out or something happens I can have time to deal with it.

Nails (mani, pedi) - I'm doing this the Wed before the wedding (2 days before) prior to the rehearsal dinner so they will be fresh for the RD and then the wedding.

Pre wedding haircut/ color (highlights) - I get my hair done every 6 weeks. On my next visit I'm doing the trim just to get rid of the dead stuff and then the following visit will be for color/highlights only. I'm going Sept 7th because I like my hair best about 2 weeks after getting the highlights, also it's the day of my bachelorette party so I'll have my hair done for that.

I'm also doing teeth whitening, my mother bought me a gift certificate for Xmas. I'm going to do this about a month before the wedding.

I've been getting facials all along and stopped for summer. Depending on if I need this I would do this 2 weeks before the wedding.

I think that covers everything I'm doing :)

Me and a friend (who's getting married in 2 weeks) have declared this the strapless bikini summer so no tan lines! I'm an IDIOT though. My dress has an illusion back that dips low and I haven't been undoing my top while tanning. Now I gotta try and get rid of this line!!
