A lot of preparation has to go into the bride´s dress, and the same needs to be said, her crowning glory, the hair on her head. Follow this, your English Speaking Hairdresser in Buenos Aires´s 7 Step Plan For Perfect Hair. Asimple guide on how to plan for the perfect wedding hairstyle.
For the salon sluts out there, you know who you are, those lost in the purgatory of hair care or simply those who dare a scare, this won´t be such a problem.
Weeks before your wedding day simply choose a hairdresser that will make your do at the wedding.
Find a hairdresser that is recommended by someone you know and trust; maybe even someone you´ve had a good experience with.
For the rest, unfortunately even if you have a regular stylist you love, this doesn´t guarantee you great wedding day hair, but if they love you they will hopefully have some contacts. Your English speaking hairdresser in Buenos Aires recommends if you cannot secure my services for your hair, shopping around and have a trial do or two, if you have trouble or are worried give me a call and I will happily point you in the right direction. For a (hopefully English speaking hairdresser in Buenos Aires,) that will help you achieve your wedding day hairstyle:
1. Establish a good rapport with the hairdresser. You should be comfortable in discussing with him or her on the style and look you want.
Some hairdressers might insist on doing something that they´ve always dreamed would be made for them (if it´s a woman.). Be firm in telling what you want and don´t want.
This is key, the consultation is more important than the technical side.
You will gain great insight into the final outcome during your consultation.
Good questions should involve, type of function, your current style, style of dress, colour of dress and the possiblity of colour for shine or statement, shoes and accessories.
2. The shape of your face in relation to the hairstyle that he or she proposes.
Try the following styles:
-Up do´s signify elegance and this is what most brides want.
-Tired of the bun? Achieve the same polished look with braids instead.
Braids are very "in" this season.
From cornrows to French twists, there are numerous interesting ways to set your hair in place.
-Letting your hair down, especially if mid-length can emanate romance.
Flip the edges out for a little retro look.
-Short hair can be spruced up with color highlights or shiny curls.
3. Ask to schedule a practice session to mock-up the intended hair-do for your wedding day.
You may need to pay extra for this mock-up session, but it´s worth the spend to ensure you look lovely during your wedding, and you gain insight into the "onda" of the salon.
4. Part of the mock-up is to see if you can carry the hairstyle.
Check side and rear views for how the hairstyle looks and make sure it is done to your liking. You are the center of attention on the wedding day, so you should be beautiful 360 degrees!
TIP!: An extra foot of height on your head can look wierd if you rock-up to the mock-up in Indian sandals and no make-up. If possible get your make-up done by the same person you will use on the day. Allow for the lights, shoe height, formal make-up before you suggest going less because on the day you and your stylist will be busy.
5. Walk around the salon with your hairstyle. Try to bob your head abit or do other head movements that you think will happen on wedding day (well maybe not all.)
Make sure your hairstyle withstands all the head activity and that you feel you and your scalp will be comfortable for hours. lol.
Don´t worry; if the gown isn´t ready yet, you can still approximate the look by using other dresses.
7. On the eve of the wedding, get a head massage, on second thought, get a whole body massage! This relaxes your body, opens your pores and freshens up your skin. If you are super smart you factored these spa days for weeks into your wedding budget and you won´t break out the next day.
Plan for your wedding day hairstyle and achieve the perfect wedding day look!
Good luck!
