Hi,
I recently went for my hair and makeup trial. I have short, asymmetrical hair. I was happy with the makeup, but I left the £200 trial unsatisfied and frustrated with my hair. I felt incredibly stressed in the makeup chair as the stylists kept asking me questions I had absolutely no idea of the answer to about hair volume/movement or fake lashes. So I had difficulty explaining what I wanted as I genuinely didn't know. I suppose messy, textured hair is a big thing but it's just not for me. The first photo is apparently a style, but I thought it looked like a big mess. I was so confused. The last photo is something I suggested: a sleeker look with a plait, which I was happier with, but it is so close to my normal hairstyle anyway plus a plait, I didn't feel it was worth the money.
I felt awful paying £200 for something which made me feel anxious and stressed, and wound up being something I didn't like. It literally felt like I was throwing money down the drain as that's where the makeup and hairstyle eventually ended up a few hours later. I know people say you should "feel glam/special" on the day but this really isn't a bit of me. I'm thinking of cutting out the hair and makeup entirely and doing it myself, but I'm worried I will regret this decision in the photos.
So I have a few questions:
1) any advice following dissatisfaction with a hair and makeup trial?
2) any short hairstyles for weddings you've loved?
3) anyone opted for no professional hair and makeup and been happy with their decision?
Any advice or help appreciated, thanks in advance 🙂 xx
