  • Hi Lydia, thanks for your reply. No I am in Essex. Other hairdressers are saying its reasonable. £50 sounds good though. Perhaps i will look for some other quotes. :confused:
    We got married 17th April 2010 !! A wonderful day with my wonderful husband !! :T
  • My local hairdresser is charging £25 for an up-do and £10 for a blow dry, we are going in to the salon to have it done. Practises are £10 for an up-do if they don't wash it or £25 if they they wash and put it up.
    Bump due 22nd September
  • hmm £140 sounds a lot ?
    not sure tho guess it depends on how good a hairdresser it is and exactly what you are having done :)


    I have booked my trial for 5ht feb (so exactly 1 month before the wedding aarrggghhh lol) they are going to have a go at putting big loose curls in my hair and then maybe a tiara or pretty clip (I have bought a few things to try out)
    then we will see a) if i like it and b) if the curls last more than 5 minutes in my hair lol
    if i dont like it or the curls dont last then I am just going straight with something pretty in my hair
    Married on 5th March 2010
    still lurking on the wedding board tho :rotfl:

    Only tip I can give you is 'I once and once only' spent an absolute fortune & went to London to have my hair done - cost me a mint! but never regretted it - went to the cream of the cream & was thrilled with it.

    Hello, hope you don't think this is cheeky but would you mind posting/PM'ing me the name of the London hairdresser you went to? I really want to do this as a treat and have saved up for it but don't really know which hairdresser to go for :confused:

    I'm also a bit scared that they'd be a bit snooty and intimidating - how did you find the experience?

    Thanks :)

    Hi - I have been given a price for hair trial and day of £140 - does this sound resonable ? I am not sure as have never had my hair put up at a hairdressers. Any advise would be great. Thanks jj

    Its on the high side, I've just turned down hairdresser quoting £75! Going for local hairdresser, who does fab hair for £40!! I have shoulder length hair and just need a blow dry it would be extra £10 for an 'up-do'
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:
  • Yellow bug - just one thing I found, get your hair done early as you can for the practise and don't try to look after it especially throughout the day then you'll get a better idea of whether it will last. HTH

  • Well I will get her to do my highlights and see if I can find any lower quotes locally. I have fine hair so its important it looks good on the day. Maybe I can knock her down a bit if I get some other quotes :confused:

    I found this website invaluable when planning my wedding

    http://www.projectwedding.com/photo/browse?!!!!!hair

    You can look at pictures of everything from hair and make up to cakes and dresses. They also have real life weddings on there too :)

    When selecting hair styles I right clicked the image I liked, pasted it onto a word document and then added more as I went along, I then printed out the word document and took it to the hairdressers so they could get an idea of what styles I liked.

    Hope that helps.
    just wanted to say thanks for this website its just what i need thanks again:beer:
  • For me i think its going to be trial and error. I've seen the pic I like, but will it like my face? Lol
