I'm having a wee panic...

Don't pretend you like it. You're paying for this trial (presumably) so make it clear what you want. Take in a photo and tell her that THIS is what you want. Be assertive!

BTW - can we see what you have in mind? I already have a picture in my head of what your hair will look like and I want to see if it matches!

Um.. well ive given a billion pictures but this was one of them.....

I had visions of you having a 1940's half up do if that makes sense. Something like this perhaps:

But I like the up-do just as much. I can't see that it would be particulary difficult or complicated from a hairdresser's point of view.

Cant wear my hair down coz of the collar on my dress......i dont have much of a neck..

You got to tell them straight, its your hair and your day!

i work as a stylist and i'd rather be told straight.

Katherine heigl updooo...

This any good?

Sorry, but I think I have a lady crush...

...Another vintage Heigl updo.

Thanks for that MrsG2b... shes been my hair dresser for the last 5 months, shes even coming to the do so I dont want to upset her, shes been putting a bit of thought into it and its the talk of the salon! Hopefully my BM can back me up on the trial too.

Yeah Miss Heigles on the list too. Ive given loadsssssssssss of pics.

Ohh, ohh, this one may work with a fascinator thingy, not sure what is going on at the front though...

I just told my hairdresser I didn't like it! It's the only time I've ever been vocal in a hairdressers but it is very important you are happy so not point in pretending. Nothing wrong in saying 'well it's not quite right so can we try something else'. That way you aren't being nasty about her work but explaining it isn't good enough.

I had a second hair trial last week and my hairdresser tried a more intricate and elaborate version of what I had had done at my first trial. When she asked me which I preferred I was a bit embarrassed but admitted that I preferred the first one and she agreed!

Cheers for that PG, I may just use that phrase if need be.

No need for the pics oolala, thanks though but im not short of styles. And its pin curls that are going on at the front, that was the style then.

Are you wearing socks Nona? If so, they need pulling up. Sharpish.

You're paying her, right? Its your wedding, your style and your bloody hair. Whether she, or any of the others in the hairdressers don't like it, then tough buggery to them. As long as its what you want, its none of her beeswax.If you no likey, you tell lady hairdresser woman just that. If not, then I'll bloody well do it for you! ?

Is there a waggy finger icon on here somewhere?!

As you can see, i've moved on from my usual method of being blunt. Is it working??

Shes the one holding the scissors though!!

and my feet are nekkid....

(how are ya? xxx)

Cool...

I meant not sure what's happening, as in...don't know what it would look like from the front, only a good side photo.

All is well in camp, thanks Nona. Booked me a holiday! Wooot! Only just over 3 weeks to go. Hurrah! Am in desperate need of a getaway.

How are you? xx

I'm always a bit weary about telling a hairdresser that I don't like what they have done, can remember plain as day that one left me looking like shirley temple and when I walked out of the salon I put my hair up in a bun ruining her "good work".

This hairstyle isn't just any hairstyle, it's for your wedding day, just ask her if she wouldn't mind trying some of your ideas first and if you don't like any of them then she is free to try her ideas out ?
