Up-dos

What are you planning to do with your hair for your big day? Are you going to go to your regular hairstylist or someone that specializes in up-dos?

Not having a regular hairstylist myself, my ventures into finding the perfect hairstylist were very rocky. There are so many professionals who turn there nose up to these very particular dos. What is the problem? The artistry that goes into these creations, perhaps? Maybe these people don't have what it takes to come up with something that a bride would find breath taking.

I have decided, that's okay! Turn us brides away. But lead me to the professionals who thrive off of making the bride the most beautiful she can be on the most special day of her life. ---Yeah, they don't do that.

Do you know what I ended up doing? I had some friend of a friend of friend (you get my point) do my hair. She was still in beauty school. My trial run was in her school and she only finished washing my hair before she realized you can't style wet hair. I can laugh now, but I was terrified then. The day of went off pretty smoothly because I chose to have my hair down with big curls. You can't really mess that one up. I know that I would have been devastated if I wanted anything more intricate.

That is why I am going to call on all my hair professionals that choose to up-dos and find a way to promote their much needed business. I am going to make it possible for all brides to come to our website and find a stylist near them. Let's even do hair shows where we will have cocktail hour while a stylist (or two) are showing us all demonstrations of the newest trends. I wish this was around when I was getting married. It would have been fun to attend with the MOH or even the MOB.

I'm looking forward to this new venture!
