I had my hair trial yesterday which i was really pleased with, and when we sat down to do timings etc.. i said that when i had my make trial she said that she needed me to have my hair done by 10.30 so she could come and get my make up done but my hair lady is saying that i should have my make up done first, so that make up lady isnt having to pin my hair off my face to do it etcc..to be honest this made sense to me as i thought that she would just scrape my hair off my face so she could just do my make up withought having to worry about messing my hair up. I text my make up lady and told her what had been said and asked if it was a problem for her to come earlier and have my make up done for 10, she said it wasnt a problem but it was very unusual for brides to have their make up done first, and if she does it that way round she wont be able to stay until just before the ceremony to do any last minute touch ups etc..

so i was just wondering what everybody else is doing, what are you having done first??

I would have said make up first but I'm not sure! I've got my hair trial today so will see what they say and report back! X

Thanks Mrs B2B XX

i would say have makup first and then hair then makeup can be re touched before u leave if needed as hair may take longer xx

I agree as my make up will take 45 mins and my hairdresser has said she wants an hour and half to do my hair...she said she will come at 8 and do BM's hair whilst i shower and have make up done etc...then BM''s can do their make up (doing their own) whist i have my hair done, aiming to be ready for half 11 so all we have to then do is get me in my dress, do last minute touch ups and calm me down lol ready for the ceremony at 12.30...how does that sound?

i had my hair done first, then make up when i got back :)

I'm having extensions in and it all wrapped in a bun, then i'm having the front bit "raised" for my tiara to sit against, then having my fringe sweeping across my forehead with some curls on the sides...if that makes sense xx

I always do my make up first then hair last as you want your hair to perfect when your leaving and can just touch up your lippy xxx

I did my own make up and then had my hair done, the bridesmaids and I took turns to put make up on while the other was having their hair done

xxxxxxx

Hi All

Just thought i would update as per my previous post! I asked my hair lady what to have done first and she said hair first as you are working with heat and it can make the make up go really funny so she is coming to the hotel at 9:30 on my wedding day! Took an hour and a half to do my hair and then she thinks about an hour to an hour and a half for my make up?!

xx

im not actually sure but it doesnt matter too much as my dress I step into it so I am just going to let the hairdresser and make up artist argue it out on the day. think my hairdresser will win tho

I usually do my make up first. However will probably do my hair first, loosly pin fringe out of the way and do make up then touch up fringe if needed.

Make up should go on first. For my sisters wedding I had half my hair done, then all my makeup followed by the rest of my hair around my face/forehead so the makeup didn't ruin it x

Hair first :D

I think make up first :)

when i asked my styliest he said have hair done first ... so i did

well they have decided between them that make up is going on first then hair, make up lady is coming for 9.15 so hairdresser can start my hair at 10.30, she said it will take her a good hour. ceremony is at 12,30...i hope my make up isnt being done too early now as she isnt staying to do any last minute touch ups x

Went for my trials today, had hair first then makeup, hair was sort of on my face but the woman doing my makeup had no issues doing my airbrush makeup despite hair already done x
