| Excellent Tips | 6. How to choose a Hairdresser
The best advise about choosing a hairdresser is to talk to a couple of hairdressers and listen to what they have to say about your hair and what they would do with it. Keep in mind they should talk about your hair history, what type of colours you have had in the past, what type of cuts you have had and what you did or didn't like about them, and generally get to know you and your tastes in style.
7. The Trial
At the trial you should talk about the dress and the image that you are after. Take pictures which you have found in magazines to help your stylist design the style for you. Also take your head bridesmaids with you to give advice. Make sure that you get prices before hand, because the cost will vary from hairdresser to hairdresser.
Things to look out for when trialing a hairdresser are:
• The cleanliness of their equipment. Look close if their salon is based this also means the salon. Because tidy hairdressers do tidy work.
• How well the hairdresser organised is. Look at their equipment, if it arranged in an orderly manner and packed well in their bags.
• Clear up if they interested in you and your wedding, and if they asked about the dress etc.
• Have they suggested hair styles for you? Find out if they give you advice on your hair, not just the styles for your wedding but on hair care, as well as cutting and colouring advice?
• Are they punctual? You need your stylist to be running on time on your wedding day.
8. Who goes first?
Always start with the bridesmaids making sure that a good communication is maintained to allow for changes in the hairstyles as we go. Do the mother of bride and any other relatives who are booked in, then comes the bride. Consider the bride should be done last or near to last to make sure that she looks fresh. Flower girls hair tends to be fine and wispy, and often does not hold styles well, plus they sometimes get impatient!
9. Pre-wedding cut / colour
Your Pre-wedding cut should always be done by the hairdresser who is going to do your hair on the day of wedding. Your hair shouldn’t be cut too short, and the hairdresser having difficulties with the style on the day. If you want to have hairdresser cut you hair, make sure your hairdresser will show you how much hair they are taking off before they start cutting.
Any work with colour should be done anywhere from one to two weeks before the wedding. It is not recommended changing your style and colour just before the wedding, and definitely not on the day.
10. On the day
The day of the wedding has arrived and you have to keep to a schedule. Wash your hair the night before, rather than on the day. Find approximately 40 min for hair styling per person. Try to do is make a schedule for people to work by. Keep in mind bridesmaid's hair and make up should be done first, then the mother of bride, the bride herself and last of all the flower girls depending on their ages.
Also, make sure that there are no errands left to do. When a person rushing in and out is very frustrating for the stylists, and may cause your party to run behind schedule.
