"i do" hairdo

Two words:  Bridal. Trial. Now.  {ok three} One of my favorite things to do is bridal hair.  One of my second favorite things to do is a bridal hair trial.  {I'm simple, I know.} I get asked a million questions about wedding hair, so I thought I might share some of my opinions on the process, especially since it is currently a very popular time to book your trials.  So, without further adieu, here are some heavy hitters: 1. Should I wait until I get my dress? Probably.  A style depends at least a little bit, on the type of neckline the dress has.  I'll surely trial before the dress (and take the business), but it probably makes the most sense to wait until you have a dress. 2. Should I bring my vail or hair piece? Also probably.  If you want the full effect, then you'll want to bring a vail or any hair pieces you will be wearing in your hair.  Even if they are not the final ones, it helps to have an idea where something will sparkle or how a vail will look

So, lately I've been busy looking at other pro's take pictures of hairdo's.  What's the lighting like?  What's the background of?  What essentially is the best (or one of the best) setup, to take a great hair picture.  Sometimes with darker hair it's hard to see the dimension.  Blonde hair can look great even if the style is not that impressive.  These things have been driving me nuts. So, I caved in and bought a new camera.  And, began experimenting... Your standard blowout taken at the salon. Dimension on dark hair. Purple hair in low light. I'm liking where this is going.  Hey, you have to start somewhere.

Hi Everyone!   Thanks for checking out my new blog. I'm a bridal hairstylist from Hoboken, NJ, and I also happen to own a blowout bar -  Up & Out blowout + updo bar . The main idea of this blog is obviously the "I do" hairdo, but I may sneak in a few other aspects of beauty, hair, weddings, and all things pretty. Let's do it! <3 Niki That's me
