I have tried searching, but most of the hair trial threads seem to be peoples photos and experiences from their hair trials.
My question is, when is the best time to try for hair trials? I have chosen my dress, but not BM dresses yet, and I think I want to see their dresses to encounter how they have theirs before I chose how I have mine?
What are you ladies doing?xxx

I think I am jumping the gun slightly arent I? lol. Just wanting an idea though xxx
CommentAuthorAmy
I'm having my hair and make-up people coming next Tuesday which will be the 1st November around six weeks before the big day. I like you hadn't a clue but it was the hairdresser that suggested around six weeks before, so yes you are maybe being slightly too keen!! lol
:-)
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
I've booked mine already because they book up in advance but I wanted it quite close to the wedding :-)
My problem is, I live in nottingham, and my wedding is in the lake district...what would happen for the trials do you think??xxx
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
hmmm, probably gunna need to travel up there or have someone travel to you for the trial I would think. Unless you use two different people and take hunners of photos. I'd rather use the same person though, just incase.
xxxxxxxxxx
CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
My friend who is my hairdresser wanted me to have my first trial all the way back in about April time! I said no that time! I ended up with 3 trials (because I didn't like how she did it the first time), so the first was in late July, the second in early September and the third was just last week.
Is your hairdresser travelling up to the lake district from your area, or are you using one there? Really, your trial should be done with the person who will be doing your hair, so you will need to go wherever the hairdresser is!
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I have the greatest husband!
CommentAuthorMrsC2B
Mine is three days before my wedding. I wanted it to be exactly the same colour (as I dye my hair) and length as it will be on the day for the hairdresser. xx
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
I think I will have to travel to the lakes wont I...dayummmm! Its a 3 hour drive lol xx
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
Yeah I live in Bristol and the wedding and hair/make up lady are in Liverpool, for the trial I go to her house and on the wedding day she's coming to my mum's where I'm getting ready x
CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I had mine the day before as we got married in Vegas and I couldn't afford to fly over just for a trial before then LOL! I liked it being that close though as my hair was the right colour and length. Hx
Vegas baby!

Where abouts are you getting married in the Lake District? As obviously that's where we are getting married as it's where we live :-P. Just thought that I could recommend my hairdresser to you. She is a mobile so no salon and very affordable maybe you could arrange to meet somewhere in between the two points or tie your trial in with a time when you'll need to visit the venue again.
CommentAuthorbeckybanners
Ah Kimmie it's so overwhelming! I get a little too excited! Yep have my dress too! But not flowers. although I have my florist reading and waiting and paid for we're not picking the flowers until Spring. She said I have to wait. Hehe. Not married until Jan 2013!xx

Inn on the Lake, Ullswater babe, oh that would be fantastic xxx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
I was told whenever really. I am contemplating around xmas time but they recommend for your hen so you get the benefit of being done up. I am away in York on my hen so that is impossible for me unless I do a mini one back in Chester when I come back. I think it just depends when you think it will be worthwhile. Just dont do it too soon or you may change your mind and need to pay for more trials

Awww chester...I used to live in deeside :) Whos doing your hair then?
Yeah, think I will get it done about easter time when we go to the lakes to arrange things with the venue xx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
I used to live in Shotton until we moved to Ellesmere Port :) Went to John summers which was a naff school so good job we did move or I would have failed my GCSE's lol
My hair is being done by my normal hair dresser James Gladwin. I cant say the shop name on here but if you know where Rufus court is in Chester, hes in that salon there. Dreading his quote for hair but I dont mind paying that as I know it will be fab and he does look after me very well. He is looking at a girl he worked with on an Italian wedding who lives local to Chester so he is going to see if he can get her into the salon this week for FREE to do a quick mini trial :)
Who are you using?

I had mine on 18th October and getting married 11th November. It was the only free weekend that wasn't too close that I had.
Got married 11/11/11.
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Haha, I lived in connahs quay!
Awwww fantastic. I havent decided yet, Id like some reccomendations, but obviously dont know anyone from the lakes, so going to have a chat with my wedding co-ordinator I think xx
CommentAuthorsuzky123
is this the one with the hotel or a separate one? Sometimes I wish id paid for a proper wedding coordinator for things like this and stationary that I know nothing about but then I have done so much myself and they would still take a cut from that. Is it true it is 10-20% of the total cost of the wedding regardless if they have helped in that part or not? if thats true I couldn't afford it. However, would have been fun going round with someone and not annoying mob or BMs as often hehe.
my dentist was in connash quay haha

Maybe I should ask mine at the venue too. I feel paranoid tho as I feel I am always on the phone checking this or winging about that lol

CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I had mine a couple of months before the wedding to find that it didn't last very long so had to have another one using a wand to curl it and that time it did stay in. I wouldn't leave it too close to the wedding just in case you find out you don't like the styles or like me your hair didn't stay put for long.
CommentAuthorsuzky123
This is why I put my hairdresser as a guest. I get on well with him anyways but this way he is around and has agreed to help if the hair falls down due to wind, cousin, crying aunties hugging etc.

I've sent you a message with my hairdressers details.
:-)
CommentAuthorkimmidge2011
do ya have hair trials a couple month before wedding or month before wedding?
CommentAuthorMrsEvans13
i went for a general hair cut yesterday so asked my hairdresser for advice, she said to me probably best 4-5 months before then another a month before to make sure the style is still the one you want :)
i am going to the hairdressers the morning of the wedding as i think i will need to get away from the stress in my house and just sit down and enjoy being pampered on my big day.
All my bridesmaids are also going to their own hairdressers on the morning of the wedding so there is no stress of 1 hairdresser trying to rush to get us all done in time and so everybody can chillax before the big moment comes!
