The best news I've heard all day!!

Back in April, a new salon opened right down the road from my apartment. Since I was in the market for a new stylist - not to mention a sucker for good deals (i.e. grand opening specials), I decided to wander in and see what this place was all about. I was greeted by a lot of noise and A LOT of fun. I knew immediately I would love the salon. The girls were hilarious...and the prices couldn't be beat ($45 cut and color, $30 full set of acrylic nails, and more)! I was booked for an appointment with Kim (the owner) in no time. I also booked an appointment to get my nails done (now my guilty bi-weekly pleasure...it sure is nice not having to worry about how my nails look!).

Now, 4 months later, I am still completely enamored with the salon. Everyone says hi and greets you by name...I never want to leave after my appointments. When I got engaged, I knew I wanted Kim and her girls to do our hair so I booked our appointments right away. Today, after my nail appointment, I was chatting with Kim about the wedding and my hair inspiration pictures. I casually questioned how much my hair updo would be (so I can bring cash) and she immediately replied "Free! I would never charge you...I'm so excited for you!" This, paired with the $30 price tag she put on the bridesmaid updos, completely made my night. I practically kissed her! Haha!

Hairstyle Ideas :)

Next to the wedding dress, hair is the second most important aspect of your wedding day look (in my opinion). Paired with the perfect dress, the hairstyle makes the bride feel beautiful. And what bride doesn't want to look and feel her most beautiful on her wedding day?

I've spent hours searching for the perfect hairstyle to portray my personality and the feel I want for my wedding day. I am growing my hair out...and my hairdresser said she could use extensions if need be. Haha! Oh, and I will be using different hair accessories than pictured... :)

Opinions?

Dress Tease...and Hair Accessories

I've spent the past couple of weeks trying to figure out what type of hair style I want and what accessories I want. Do I want a tiara/headband? Do I want something simpler? I decided I want something for the back to incorporate in my updo...but then I ran into the problem of what would look right with my dress. I eventually had to go back to David's Bridal to take a close up picture of the details. I'll give you a sneak peak...with the request that you help me decide on my hair accessory! :)


And my choices...I can't decide which I like best! All of them are available in multiples so if you think I should get more than one, please let me know. I'm *kind of* leaning towards #1 or #3.
