Hair Trial Attempt 1

In another extremely busy day we crammed in a whole bunch more wedding activities. My poor Mother began her day (as usual) fighting the ridiculous traffic from Long Island to New Jersey (that traffic is always ridiculous). Once she finally made it past the hour it took her to go 3 miles on the Cross Bronx Expressway we were immediately off to the hair salon, leaving Mike home to unpack my Mom's car (which was full of the rest of the gifts from the shower). Overall I'd have to say my Mom and I both loved the salon and we loved all of the people there. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and attentive and the salon itself was very comfortable and well done.

We began with my hair trial. I had brought in some pictures of hair half up and down, I knew I wanted a lot of height on my hair, I did not want it to be flat when you look at it from the front. Overall I was very happy with the end result. I don't however think it was my absolutely perfect wedding hair. It definitely was not as high as I would have liked on top (I know that is easy to fix). I think though the back was lacking a little bit. it seemed like it was very narrow in the back and lacking some fullness. From some views of the front it almost looked like all of my hair was up. I did however love the left side profile of it, the right side needed a little something else with the styling. She did also suggest putting some diamond pins in the back of my hair to give it a little something else as well.

After my hair trial I also got a make up trial done as well. I have absolutely no complaints about that. I thought the girl did a fantastic job and def looked like enough for my wedding day but was also natural enough that I didn't feel like I had gobs of make up on. My mom also got her hair and make up done. I thought that the girl did a fantastic job blowing out her hair and it looked beautiful. The makeup while I thought it was very pretty my mom thinks that she would prefer to do it herself the day of. That's fine with me as long as she gets her hair done on the wedding day.

Overall did I like the hair? Yes. Did it look pretty? Yes. But is it the right hair for the wedding? I'm not sure....
