My trial on Thursday went mostly well. It wasn’t my normal stylist so I wasn’t sure what to expect. She was a little…bossy. When we had spoke previously I told her that yes, my hair holds curl and I do it myself often. She said she was happy to hear that, as many clients come in insisting their hair curls, when in fact it does not.
I sat down with my pictures in hand and she exclaimed yes! I love it! We can absolutely do that! Then proceeded to take out a curling iron with the biggest barrel I’ve ever seen.
I laughed. That won’t do anything to my hair, I said.
She went to work anyway.
And of course it did nothing but make a slight kink in my hair.
Try a smaller barrel, I said.
She didn’t. Instead, she scolded me. “I thought you said your hair held a curl.”
It. Does.
I asked her if we could used hot rollers instead. She said yes, on the day of, but today she didn’t have them. She was doing a wedding the next day and had already delivered her supplies there.
I asked her again if she had a smaller curling iron.
She did. And what do you know, my hair held a curl.
It’s very pretty. I like it. I just want it BIGGER. And I know that adding the addition of hot rollers will do that for me. You can see the straight pieces on the bottom that were victim to the giant roller.
“Michael, take one without that horrible purple cape on me.”
Also, there will be no black bobby pins on wedding day. And more curls around the face.
I have no idea how long I’ll keep the veil on, but I like that you can still see the hair through it.
All in all, I’m glad I had a trial. We talked about what we will change and I bet you that the day of I’m going to be so excited that as long as it doesn’t look like a poodle, I’m going to be happy.
You know, in five weeks.
Omigod.

🙂 It’s going to look gorgeous on the day. This is what trials are for. And if you’re somewhat happy with your trial then you’re going to be ecstatic with the real thing! 🙂

Aw, I love it — and it definitely has big potential on the day of. Like I told you, now you have time to perfect the idea of what you want it to be on the day of, and you know it’ll come out EXACTLY how you want! Your hair is so long and beautiful by the way [as i keep saying]. Am I mourning my long hair? p.s. you should totally wear that hyper-color purple cape all the time

See, I’m glad I did a trial too. It makes such a huge difference. And will your normal stylist be doing your hair on the day of? My stylist made sure to keep my hair in tune with my personality, you have no idea how much of a relief THAT was. I certainly didn’t want to look like a poodle either!

It looks great!! Makes me wish I had longer hair like that to curl.

It looks great!
More unsolicited wedding advice: Keep the veil on for as long as you can stand it. I ripped mine out the moment our speeches were over and I am sorry I did. In our pictures of the rest of the night we looked like a well dressed couple at someone else’s party.

That looks HOT! And also kind of similar to my ‘do methinks, so I’m partial.
Also, your wish has been granted. I’ll try to post one each day until I get some pro-shots.

So pretty!! I wore my hair down for the big day as well. My stylist actually curled everything with a Chi flat iron. Have you ever tried it? I ended up with the most amazing curls that lasted all day!!

Hiya!
I’ve been away for a good few weeks now – but I’m glad to be catching up with the blogs again. Your trial hair looks amazing Molly. Wish she had listened to you in the first place 😉
Six weeks – so incredible. I’m excited for you!

Looks beautiful! What was she thinking with the giant curling iron though? Those aren’t even made to “curl”, the purpose is body and waves. Color me confused.
I wish I had taken my veil off during my reception (first wedding, the one where I actually wore a veil). Weddings are huggy occasions, and every time someone hugged me, the veil yanked at my head.

I just found you today through my Google Reader and love your blog. Then I saw this post and realized that this was practically me. Because, I too, dealt with a hairdresser similar to yours, and my hair on my wedding trail run ended up very similar to yours. I liked it, and it was sorta curled, but lots of pieces just hung there like limp spaghetti without any oomph. Needless to say, I ended up going somewhere different on the actual Day. So anyway, I’ll for sure be adding you to my blog list!
