Perfect Wedding Hair – for You, That Is

June 19, 2014 10:45 am / admin

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Preparing for the wedding of your dreams, whether it is simple or lavish, requires so many decisions. The ones that are captured on film that you will look back on in years to come can be some of the most difficult to make. So, let’s make this one a little easier.

Several things factor into your choice of hairstyle for your wedding. First, are you planning a formal wedding in a church or do you prefer a more casual wedding on a Hawaii beach? Is your dress extravagant or simple? Starting from there and then narrowing down the hair style makes the decision easier.

The next step in the decision making process is simple: structured or unstructured. When you look back on your photos do you want to see every hair perfectly in place or do you want to be able to see the wind blowing it whether it’s across your chest or even in your face?

Once you’ve made these basic decisions, you can work with your hair stylist to design the right style for you. A trial run a month before the wedding helps to bring that perfect look more into focus. Book your trial session when you feel ready with sample hairstyles photos, veil and/or hair embellishments. See our Pinterest boards for inspiration to help you choose the perfect style.

And, above all, don’t be afraid to speak up while your hair stylist is designing on wedding day. At Beauty by Tania, we always do your bridal hairstyle in front of a mirror so that each bride can watch it evolve and make changes in a timely manner. We are there to help you and work with you to have your dream bridal hairstyle. Happy styling!

When is your bridal look a Fad

September 19, 2013 5:28 pm / admin

A bridal look is a very personal thing and many brides enjoy getting pampered with makeup application and hairstyling. On the other hand, which bridal look to choose may be a daunting task for some. So I’ve listed some questions to ask yourself when working with your stylist.

1. Is the makeup and hair timeless and appropriate to the dress style, venue and theme. Remember you’ll have to look back at these photos and show them to your children and grandchildren.

2. Is the look a trend that will come and go quickly.

3. Is the hairstyle complementing your facial shape.

4. Is the eyeshadow color and application, your personal style or a fashion look.

Classic Trendsetting Hairstyle

January 20, 2013 1:04 am / admin

So this is the last of the 3 Do it Yourself Hairstyles for the season. I thought pretty hard on this one because I wanted you to trust in yourself and feel good about something new and trendy but also feel confident with a hairstyle that we all wear perhaps too often out of sheer convenience. Well, it’s the good old ponytail with the trendy braid. Wear it high, at the top of the crown, in the middle back of the head or low at the nape of the neck. Whichever you choose, for whatever occasion, it’s yours…now let’s make it trendy, fun and new. First, make a horizontal part down each side of the head, going downwards, behind the ear. Braid or french braid each strand along side the face and rubberband the ends. Secondly, grab the rest of the hair and ponytail it high, medium or low behind the head, to your preference. Lastly, grab both braids on each side of your face and wrap each braid around the ponytail’s rubberband and pin to secure the ends. So you short haired girls are probably frowning by now. Well, don’t worry, this is what you can do if you have a bob length haircut…make the 2 braids on each side of your face keeping the braid close to the face, rubberband both braided ends and tuck the braid behind the ear and pin it underneath the hair.
