Tuesday was the hair/makeup trial and I am super happy with the results! I typically wear my hair chin-length because otherwise it's limp and I hate it being on my neck, so I wind up pulling longer hair into a ponytail which destroys my hair & turns the top into a halo of tiny broken hairs. I loathe it, yet I insisted on growing it out for the wedding because it just wouldn't be right if my hair wasn't up in some way. And I don't have a stylist of my own; I can't find anyone who can get my hair cut correct unless I pay $60; and that's not going to happen.
I found
Hey Good Lookin at a wedding expo of all places! The stylists all had fun & funky haircuts, most of them with some amount of unnatural color; and many of the ladies had multiple/facial piercings--NOT the kind of ladies you think when you think about salons vending at a wedding expo. Obviously I spoke to them even though the salon is more than an hour from my house. They were sweet and understanding and completely willing to help. The prices were right too--$40-$60 for wedding hair!!
Cassandra and I chatted; I wanted a look that's kind of whimsical but still off my neck but not pulled all the way off my face either (I am embarrassed by my high forehead). Casandra had actually worked off my inspiration photos, so we were completely on the same page:
 |
| This is how I looked just as I arrived |
 |
| Hair is done! Will be tighter, and the front a little less awkward, but you get the idea |
 |
| It looks like I have a ton of hair!! Can you see the tiny braids?" |
 |
| The make-up didn't come out great in this pic--teal eyeshadow, light cheeks & lips. |

| From the side. I may have the headband moved forward a bit |
