To many ladies, wedding is the most important day of their life so before you or your husband-to-be go on a blind wedding shopping spree, I think this would help you get started. Firstly I would suggest that you and fiance write down the things that both of you want. This will help short list the things you need and places that you have to go. Maybe a theme for your wedding too. Secondly, put a budget on the wedding, this is very important as many clients of mine do not have a budget and they get confuse on how much they need to spend. Everything that you need for the wedding must have a budget i.e: Photography, flowers, banquet etc. This will help you avoid over spending on things, there will be many unseen expenses as the wedding draws closer. Make sure you shop around for the Photography Studio, there are so many now and prices do come down if there are competition around. Try going to Bridal fairs in shopping malls or hotels, sometimes if you are lucky you might get many freebies....

What is to be done -Pre Natal and Post Natal As a hairstylist I do get many questions whenever I meet people. There is this thing that is behind my head for a long time. Many expecting mothers to be will always say this to me.. can you please make me look good, what can I do or can't do during my pregnancy? My advise are for the first three months please try not do any CHEMICAL on your hair, meaning no color or perms, as you will be inhaling fumes from the peroxide which I think is not that good. Secondly, let me clarify that when a women is pregnant, she does take in quite a amount of supplements to help the baby grow and with that means there will be a very thick layer of protein and calcium covering the hair shaft that will make her hair hard and course. In this case I suggest that she does more moisture hair treatments for her hair as this will make her hair softer and also less course, this should be done at lease once every two weeks. You can only do colors in the later stage...

I spend most of the time chatting with my clients about their boyfriends/girlfriends, husband/wife, celeb gossips and even about themselves, but that's the exact opposite of what you should be doing. My reasoning: we are goldmine of info about your hair, figuring out your face shape, styling products and techniques and you're cheating yourself if you don't grill your hairdresser for the details while you're sitting in the chair. It makes sense -- so here are some questions you should be asking. Before the cut: - Will this work with my hair type? - Will this flatter my face shape? - If you intend to have your hair coloured, will this colour work with my skin tone? - Does long hair or short hair suit me better? - How would I look in curly hair or straight hair? - Am I losing hair or any other scalp disorder? During cut, perms or any other chemical jobs: - What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend? - Where should I buy the products from? From Salons or normal shops...
