    it depends on how big the salon is really, and if they have enough people available to do everyone. obviously the stylists will have assistants and someone to wash hair etc, so it wouldnt take them as long to do it as it will be taking me as im doing it on my own, and if someone else was doing my hair it wouldnt take an hour-its just fiddly doing it yourself! speak to someone in the hairdressers and see if they have the time slots, and i suppose if you book far enough in advance it wont make a difference to them. you could even get yourself some champagne and make a morning of it if you arent all getting done together, had a few bridal parties where i used to work do that and it was a good laugh, they would have one end of the salon to themselves with sofas, magazines, head massages, champagne and nibbles! i think it would be nice if you were all together-some great photo oppertunities! x

    aww thanks hun, glad i could help!
    most salons should be ok with you doing that, they give you tea and coffee anyway so it wont cost them anything! ask around a few places if for some reason they wont let you do it (if the word got around about it though it could get them loads of business) just gives a nice relaxing and girlie start to the day!
    make sure you let me know how you get on with it!
