Hair, make-up, and nails, OH-MY!

Q: I am looking into the hair stylist and make-up artist I want to make me into a bridal beauty! I know I need to schedule a trial appointment for both and want to make sure I do everything I am supposed to. Are there any tips I should know about?
A: There are many things to consider for your hair stylist and make-up artist including their availability (whether you have to go to them or they need to come to you on the big day), their pricing (if it includes the trial appointments or if those come at a separate charge), their time (how long you want them with you, just for getting ready or for touch-ups between ceremony and pictures and the reception)! As for the trial itself, just like every other aspect of the wedding planning process, be sure to cut, print, and save images of hair styles and make-up styles that you like. These can come from anywhere- magazines (bridal and otherwise), online (the Knot, product company sites like MAC or Redken), or from pictures of people you see at other weddings or just people watching at the mall! Once you have compiled and saved all of these images, be sure to organize them a little bit into hair and make-up, and even further into eyes, face, lips, nails, etc. Then for your trial, be sure to take all of these with you to give the stylists/artists a good feel for what you want! Also, be sure to be VERY honest with your stylists and artists and give them plenty of feedback on what to do differently for the big day!
Use these tips and you are sure to look exactly like the bridal beauty you are!
