Hi all,
I'm totally clueless about hair and make up - I have had the same hairstyle / used the same hair products for about 10 years! I'm not really a girly girl, I'd like to be but going to the hairdresser etc makes me feel uncomfortable and out of my depth. I do however want to look nice on my wedding day so I definitely want to get my hair and make up done by a professional! This means I have no idea about who/how to book hair and make up artists.
I met a girl at a wedding fair who did me a quick eye makeover and I loved it, she seemed nice and I also won a raffle on the day for a beauty discount card which meant I could take advantage of this girl's special offers through the card. It seemed like fate... then I started over-thinking! She's only qualified last year and obviously is trying to build up her business, so doesn't have a lot of sample work or testimonials. She is cheap compared to all the others although that's probably got a lot to do with me being able to have the offer price. She does both hair and make up, and I started to worry that it might be a lot for her to do both hair and make up for me, 3 bridesmaids and my Mum on the big day. Is that why most hair and make up artists either do one thing or the other?
Just interested to know how you all found your hair and make up artists - and did / are yours doing both your hair and make up? Am I better looking for separate people? Should I stop over thinking this and book this girl, or should I look for someone with more experience?
Would be grateful for any advice and experiences anyone can share! (and anyone in Chester / Wrexham who might have recommendations!)
