Hello!

I'm getting married in Harrogate on 26th but need to get waxed, eyelash tint and get my hair dyed/highlighted here within next couple of weeks.

Can anyone please advise me of where is good?

I went to Poseurs to get my eyebrows waxed last month but she burnt my eyelid and it was a bit red for a while so I don't want that!
Plus when I got waxed before on my bikini line, I got white heads so any tips to prevent that would be really helpful too. They used tea tree wax, I used tea tree oil after etc but came up with loads. Thank you. :)

Your eyebrows are bound to be red after youve had them waxed, its nothing to do with the person doing it incorrectely, although if she burnt you, I can see why it put you off. Make sure you leave it a couple of days before the wedding so the redness will have gone for definite.

The skin was peeling off for about 3 days and it was an obvious burnt patch where the redness didn't go down for about a week. Not nice but I've been there several times before with no problems. I'd just be worried it was the same person but I didn't take much notice of what she looked like unfortunatly.

Just really need a hair colouring place. I've only had my hair cut in Sheffield and never dyed so if anyone can recommend anywhere I'd be very greatful.

Try Glitz hair and beauty stannington, Katie for your hair (has advanced colour qualification) and Sarah for beauty treatments.

Does anyone do/can anyone recommend a professional wedding make-up artist who is located in Broomhill or who would travel to Broomhill??

The makeup would be for the bride (me!) and my mum and godmother. The wedding is in May at the Botanical Gardens so we'd be looking for quite natural makeup.

If you do hair as well that would be great too!

Thanks for you help - feeling in a bit of a panic!

Please??? Any help greatly appreciated!

Polly Jensen, she is in the yellow pages. She came to my home and did my hair and make up on my wedding day, also did my bridesmaids too.
She did a fantastic job. She also does models make-up too.

Sarah at Direkt at broomhill does wedding hair... I think she does make up too

Has anyone ever used - Mobile Wedding Hair & Beauty by Kirsty

Saw the name on a website but no reviews/ratings...just curious!

Thanks

HI all,

Has anyone ever had any hair extensions? done by a very experienced professional?

I want my hair long and curly for my wedding (if I put curls in my hair they drop out too quick).

I need recommendations please.........................

i paid someone to come to my home and they cost £350 ,had them in about a week and give me really bad headaches so i had 2 take them out .wot a waste .then i saw some clip in ones on ebay made from human hair cost me £55 for a full head and there great you can wash them strighten and dye them and you cant even feel them in your hair and no headaches :) :D :D :D :D

you can buy the clip in extensions from xtra...its in the oasis at meadowhall...i bought some and sewed the clips in myself. I'm not that good at putting them in so take them to my hairdreesser when ever i go out. i wouldn't have extensions in if i were you as they really damage your hair.

I know but I really dont want my hair up for my wedding, i want it down with curls in and they wont stay in my natural hair.
:(

hi tatty i have had hair extensions by a girl on here called elleana she is very very good

what salon does she work in? what kind are they?

thanks

real hair she uses and she is mobile lives at heeley

I had mine done at Vanilla on Norfolk Row, they did a really good job. Not cheap though.

Can you give me her details? thanks you

her name elleana do a search on here and you will find her email addy tell her amys recommended you

I'm sorry but why do you want to have hair extensions just for a wedding? Are you not the person your other half fell in love with regardless of your hair length?

Go with your normal hair - do you really want your memories of your partner on your wedding day to be a startled look? :)

hair extensions can be really subtle you know! They give weight to your hair and help sustain styles. Im not talking the wig look you know!

Polly Jensen, she is in the yellow pages. She came to my home and did my hair and make up on my wedding day, also did my bridesmaids too.
She did a fantastic job. She also does models make-up too.

Polly Jenson did the make-up/hair for my photoshoot with a model for my website recently. She did a fantastic job on the model.
You'll be able to see the results for yourself very soon.

I need a makeup artist and hairdresser too. Can someone dig out this Polly's number please? Is she young or old? What stlye hair did you have when she did it? Thanks

I've been emailing Polly recently about her possibly doing my wedding but can't find her email address at the mo - however her website is www.pollyj.com and all the details are on there. She sounds very impressive.

I need a make-up person in Broomhill too. I am hoping my hairdresser at Halo can do wedding hair.

If there are none in Broomhill can anyone recommend someone in town/s10/6...

Hi,

I emailed and sent a text to Polly Jenson but I havent received a response. Back to the drawing board. Can anyone recommend anyone else? :)

She did say to me that she is works away a lot and it may be a few days before she responds to emails so she may respond soon. Otherwise, I'm stuck too if she doesn't get back.

Hi,

I have just sent you a text message to the mobile number on your website.

Thanks :)

HI all,

I have just spoke to Polly and booked her for our wedding. I would just like to tell people how lovely she sounded so if you need someone why not give her a ring! Im so excited now, I only have 1 more thing to book and then everything is sorted. :)

I've just spoken to Polly to confirm our booking for my wedding next year - she sounded really lovely and friendly and I'm soooo excited now. Another thing ticked off my endless list!

Polly came to our house this week for my makeup and hair trial and I can't recommend her enough! She somehow worked out exactly what I wanted even though I was absolutely rubbish at describing it - and I was really happy with the result. Plus she is a really nice person as well.

Really looking forward to her coming to do the real thing!!

I had a lady booked for my original wedding and she didnt turn up, even swtiched her mobile off as I kept ringing her. She never did do the trial thing so I guess had I known that most do I would have found someone else.

I really didnt think she wouldnt turn up, thankfully my sister dealt with it but my hair make up and nails didnt look a thing like I wanted, bless her she had a go though.

Glad you guys are having a better time of it, I am pretty nervvy about booking it for my renewel, going to keep an eye on this thread. xx

I've done a quick search and couldn't find a thread that was suited to my problem.

Basically I'm getting married next month and my nails are short and quite scruffy.

I hate having long nails and I don't want anything semi-permanent (as long as they last about a week). However I do want something professional looking.

Any ideas? Cost is not an issue. So if people advise I go and have gels done and then get them removed, I don't mind. I'd have a french manicure for the big day.

Also if people have good experiences of any salons in the city centre that also do pedicures, would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hi spicey, i had tips put on my nails for my big day. They last approx 1-2 weeks, you can buy some gel/liquid to soak them off if you want them off sooner.
I had a french manicure finish, then on my wedding ring finger I had a heart shape sprayed into the white tip, and a tiny diamante in the centre. It was a nice touch.
Unfortunately the woman who did mine is no longer in sheffield, but there are plenty of nail salons around who will offer the same kind of thing.

Have you had a look in HERE (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=97)

The forum now has its very own wedding group :suspect:

Thanks astronaut77, that sounds ideal for me. Just need to find a place in Sheffield (that comes recommended).

Thanks for the D2J, I just thought that doing your nails can be quite general, I'm sure there are loads of women out there who take pride in theirs, unlike me :(

I'm sure there are spicey but they just don't wanna break a nail typing on the keyboard :hihi:

Your nail sounds like mine. :hihi:
Can't really advice, apart from the suggestion of a French Manicure too. What I do remember from talking to my cousins who did get theirs done is, to really get rid of it sooner after you're done with the wedding. Cos the nail starts to grow underneath it. Also, do choose one that does not strip off too much of the base. I can't remember which method is better now.

Anyhow, the likes of Virgin Active does have a wedding package. It may have French manicure in there. I know there is also a specific nail place on West St. I'm not sure how good they are. There is also another nail place in Meadowhall, near M&S. Hope that helps.

Hey, congratulations by the way! :)

Thanks astronaut77, that sounds ideal for me. Just need to find a place in Sheffield (that comes recommended).If you've got time before the big day, you could go to a couple of salons and test them out. In my experience, the big salons aren't as good as the independent small boutiques. The lady I went to worked in a small beauty salon in Handsworth - I only discovered her because I saw the sign as I drove past one day. Might be worth just trying a couple of local ones in your area (they are cheaper too!).

I'm sure there are spicey but they just don't wanna break a nail typing on the keyboard :hihi:


Funny that you should say that but the real reason why I don't like long nails is a teacher I had many many years ago who taught me computer skills in secondary school. Her nails were very long and well looked after but they grew at a 90 degree angle(almost) to her finger, straight up and used to freak us out. Since I work using a computer only, I'm scared that it will happen to me......

Thanks Bago, can't wait until its over. I actually don't care if my nails look a mess, is anyone even going to look that closely?

I don't have the time unfortunately so was hoping for somewhere in the city centre (which is where I live).

Spicey, I'm a nurse so my nails are not very glamerous due to all the hand washing and alcohol rubs.

I started using diamond strength formula about a month before my wedding. I reapplied it every couple of days and it gave my nails enough strength to grow to a reasonable length.

I had a french manicure on the morning of my wedding and they looked lovely, and I was very proud that they were all my own!

I got a silk wrap just this weekend. my nails look gorgeous!!
£25 for the full set, takes 2 hours, but they look amazing, and she did it in my house :) pm me if you want her number

I've heard that silk wraps are quite delicate, is that true?

So far considering the tips and scoops idea of my own, although it will be hard to refrain on chewing on my fingers as I have so much on my plate at the moment.....

mine arent delicate in the sense that they break easily, but they do look delicate and fragile (like meee) :)

and you wont chew on these nails, theyre far too beautiful!
and they look real!

Thanks Bago, can't wait until its over. I actually don't care if my nails look a mess, is anyone even going to look that closely?

Errrr- yes, I'm afraid they will. Especially if the photographer is trying to do arty shots, in which case there will even be photographic evidence for posterity of your nails not looking good.

I'm going to move this to the weddings group BTW.

Errrr- yes, I'm afraid they will. Especially if the photographer is trying to do arty shots, in which case there will even be photographic evidence for posterity of your nails not looking good.

I guess so, I always thought that people would concentrate on my jewelry of which I will be wearing LOADS.

Thanks Bago, can't wait until its over. I actually don't care if my nails look a mess, is anyone even going to look that closely?
No, no, I don't mean whether it looks good or not. It's the removal part which you need to be aware of, cos it can cut away your base layer, and it may not grow again! Not wanting to scare you, but my cousin did show me what happened to her nails after the wedding, and she had it on for a little too long. Even though it was recommended for her to do so.

I've done lots of searches but can't find anyone in my area - does anyone know someone in S35 who does wedding hair? Preferably at home but closer than my usual hairdresser (broomhill LOL!) would be a great start!

Hi i am using Stages on Hoyland common (above greys travel) she was
recomended to me and did a lovely trial, and best of all £40 including on the day and trial, but you do have to go to shop i'm afraid

kaliescope on middlewood road?

I'm looking too! I need someone willing to travel to my home and style my hair, and am also in the S35 area. Can't travel to a shop as its a winter wedding and it'd get wrecked travelling home :hihi:

I've decided to try and find someone who will come to my home too - I'll let you know if I find anyone!

I found a lady at a wedding fair who comes out to you - she was REALLY cheap, I think £5 for consultation & another £25 on the day.

I don't know ehere she's based but she said coming out to my venue in Penistone (S36) would be no problem so might be of interest to you guys.

I will have a look for her card when I get home tonight :)

ooh thats my kind of price range! thank you!

For my daughters wedding in December we are visiting Rain at Birdwell - 2 mins from the M1 roundabout!.

They do all sorts of packages including beauty treatments and make up. They are happy to show you around and are very friendly.

They have an area where you can relax and have a glass of bubbly whilst you wait for pampering.

:hihi: sort of thing I'd do! oh well, back to the drawing board!

How do you know which make up artist to choose? Ive been looking around and most people's prices include the trial and the day in one price - but what if you have the trial and dont like them??

any suggestions?

Thanks
Laura

why not try different things on yourself
a couple of weeks before.
no one knows your face as much as you
and you know what suits you best.
dont use alot of makeup
start with a consealer..(like a undercoat.lol)
before your powder/cream
keep it light and simple i'd say.!
theres also alot of new lipstick out now that suppose to last all day.

At the bridal Jumble on Sat at Emily Bridal we have a make up artist coming and I am sure she will be able to help you with ideas.

Hope to see you on Saturday

Thanks for looking anyway!

So - still wanted - bridal hairdresser, somewhere near S35!

My personal advice is to speak with the MUA first and see what they can offer for you. Ask for a trial - without committing yourself to them for the big day.

Ask to see photo's of work they have already done.

A good MUA will have a list of questions for you too - to find out what you are after on the day and should be able to do what you ask for. If you dont know what you want you should get a few suggestions from the MUA and I always offer a few trials to get it right.

If you need any more advice please feel free to PM me

Hope to see you on SaturdayWill she be doing makeovers tomorrow or just giving advice? :)

yep make-overs will be happening so pop down for a consultation!

Hi - I wasn't able to attend the jumble on the 9th, but are you still able to provide contact details for your makeup lady?

I spoke to my usual hairdressers this morning about wedding hair, and she said she's willing to do it, providing the boss will allow her to leave the salon so she can come to my home :) . Does anyone know any good websites for hair designs cos I'm not 100% sure what I want and have to go in for a trial. The only ones I found feature quite frankly scary looking models with 'perfect' cardboard hair lol, and the designs tend to be a bit elaborate.

Yeah I agree with you, and why do are all the wedding up do's have to be scraped back. . . .not a flattering look unless of course you look like one of the model's.
I have been looking for a while honeyb even though I don't get married until June 09, just want to get it sorted. . .I would like something romantic, perhaps loose curls taken up. . .I know what I want but getting it is a different matter!
Please let me know if you find any good mags or web-sites as I think I have exhausted both at the mo :(
Good Luck

Still on the lookout, as my hairdresser isnt able to leave the salon due to the xmas rush :( argh!

Hi,
I have sent you a PM.

Did anyone who booked a make-up artist pay their deposit at the time of the booking? I've asked my hair & make-up lady for the invoice twice and it never arrives. I havn't been able to get hold of her by email of phone and I'm starting to worry....she is part of a company....so it's odd that no-one ever seems to be about.

It's nearly 3 weeks since I last spoke to her.

Hey sooz22 have you sorted the hair and make up out yet? if you need any help chasing them up give me a shout. I really dont mind helping
