Hi all,
Hoping someone here has been in a similar situation and has some advice.
I had my wedding hair trial a few days ago. The stylist was lovely, polite and professional and took a lot of care and time into making sure I felt happy with what she'd created for me.
However, I had no real idea about how I was going to feel about seeing the looks I was using as inspiration on me as I've never had my hair styled properly before. I'm pretty useless at hair on my own so I literally always wear my hair down, either straightened or with a few curls at the front (that I can do 😆). I mainly looked at up dos as my wedding is in August so I figured an up do might be a more sensible choice given the weather is likely to be hot. As pretty as the first style was, I didn't feel it looked right on me and I wasn't exactly elated with how I looked. I told the stylist this so we tried another look. The second look I really really liked in the moment (a sort of hair up but not do) and she did a fabulous job of it, so I said I was happy to go with it... now I'm having second thoughts.
As pretty as it was, looking back at the photos I feel as though the hair being pulled off my face made it look rounder and wider. I also had the opportunity to try my dress on again yesterday and realised my shoulders and back are more exposed in the dress than I perhaps remembered they will be. I get spots on my back and shoulders, and realised they'd be quite visible with my hair is up (I tried it on with my hair down). They're not massive, but I'm worried having them on show will kind of ruin the overall look and spoil the elegance and I'm thinking perhaps my hair will be better half up/half down now.
My hair did kind of fall into a twisted half up/down style in between the two we trialled, which the stylist took a pic of (but hasn't got around to sending it to me yet). I also liked that one and told her this.
Time wise I don't know if I will be able to book a second trial in.
Can I tell the stylist I've changed my mind and ask if I can have a half up/half down style instead? Or do I kind of have to go with the one I picked? There was another bride waiting for her trial in the salon at the time as mine had run over a bit, so I suppose I felt slightly rushed to make a choice.
Sorry for the essay. Thank you all for your advice in advance.
