I'm having a VERY difficult time finding a place to do my hair for the Angel Ball. I've found out that the majority of all hair shops close down at noon during the month of July in the Raleigh area. HELP!!!!!!!

Does anyone have a place that is doing there hair??

AmyMiles

Geesh I wasn't really worrying about it because I thought there would be plenty of places available! YIKES! Any news on the students?

We could, but you wouldn't want me to do your hair. I never was very "girly"!

LynneB

I will help and if my SIL comes she can. She works for Trade Secret and does that for a living, so I will see if she is coming. She was going to, but then money troubles with her idiot new husband and she was not sure if she could afford to take the time off. I will check with her and bring all my equipment! I am the official hair doer at all formal events for our family and friends!

Corin Nava

Lynne-you can do my hair :) I wouldn't want to touch anyone elses though-I can do a basic braid or a ponytail and thats about it-lol

LynneB
06-30-2008, 10:13 AM
Corin, I will def do your 'do! I have lots of ideas! Let me know if you want and up do or what? I will send a pic of my daughter's I did hers for prom

LynneB
06-30-2008, 10:22 AM
I just sent it! I have other pics that are better! I will send them latter! I owe you!

Okey dokey, I just set my hair appt. at the Spa by Mitchells in Cary Towne Center mall.

LynneB

Ewww Kara aint you a hi-tech red neck, a spa!!!!!!!!!!

AmyMiles
06-30-2008, 04:04 PM
Kara Do you mind if I ask you how much they quoted for your hair?

karahess
06-30-2008, 06:21 PM
I'm not considered an updo since my hair is chin length. They told me $35. Here's their website with services and prices.

Whoa that place looks fancy!

karahess
06-30-2008, 08:09 PM
It does????? It's what I'm used to around here. Guess I'm spoiled.

AmyMiles
06-30-2008, 08:52 PM
I just got my haircut today for 12 dollars! I am super cheapo! I love to CLEARANCE shop:) Lynne can you do my hair too, I'll pay you as long as you don't charge 50$$!

karahess
07-01-2008, 06:27 AM
The cheapest I've found around here is $28 for a hair trim. And that's to leave the salon with it wet and not styled. The norm here is $35 - 50 for a trim and style.

Corin Nava
07-01-2008, 07:59 AM
Amy-I'm a cheapo too! I grow my hair out for months b/c I'm too cheap to cut it. At most I pay $20-most times its a gamble to see if they actually cut it the way I want-but my hair grows so fast if they mess up it grows out within a month anyway.

Lynne-did you want me to post that picture you sent me? Your daughter is absolutely beautiful! My hair is shoulder length right now-I just want a simple up-do. Let me know how much $ you want.

StephanieOlivarez
07-01-2008, 12:57 PM
I am going to bring my hot rollers!!!!
If I can't figure it out - Lynne can I also pay you to help me?
I have shoulder length hair and want to leave it down with somekind of hair piece.

I can't go to a spa - Shane would have a fit. But I will tell you Kara - I sure wold love to join you.
The closet spa around here is an hour away.
I loved going to the Day Spa when I lived in Chicago.
Gosh - I really have turned into s hilljack!!!!! lol
You know tomorrow my Mother and I are going to Chicago.
Looks like a spa day to me!!!!
Thanks Kara for this wonderful idea!!!

karahess
07-01-2008, 01:09 PM
Why would he have a fit? It's an important key to keeping this mother sane! Once a year, Chuck gets me a spa package to go and relax. Spa packages, flowers all the time . . . .he spoils me rotten.

karahess
07-01-2008, 01:11 PM
My other reasoning for getting my hair done at that place is cause I'm not going to be where you gals are. I'll be on the opposite side of Raleigh that day and already checked out of the Comfort Suites.

You're going to have so much fun. Make sure some someone takes lots of pictures of ya'll getting your hair done.

LynneB
07-01-2008, 01:55 PM
Please do post the picture Corin. I think she is pretty too! I will do as many as I have time for! I do splurge with hair. I bargin shop for every thing else. I admit that I spend $50 for a cut and dry every 5 weeks and $80 for color every 3 to 4 months. Jeff cringes everytime I go to the salon! I had not had my hair done in 3 months in that pic that I posted onthe family page. Baer was about 6 weeks old and I looked like heck!. Ladies, bring your curling irons, hot rollers, and lots of bobby pins to match your hair color, Corin and Steph buy brown or black, Amy, buy blonde and bring hair spray and we will Git R DOne!

Thanks Corin! That's my oldest, Eden. She is 17. I wish you could see the back of her hair. I will send some pics of it. Not to bad if I do say so myself!

StephanieOlivarez
07-01-2008, 03:41 PM
BEAUTIFUL picture!!!!
Sounds good to me Lynne--THANKS

Shane would not have a fit---but to leave him with four kids to get my hair done............I think it will be fun to get ready with all the girls.
But I will be thinking of you Kara getting all sorts of spoiled!!!

I have a lot of ideas this one works best for fine hair shoulder length. If you have a pic I can do most styles i just have to have enough time. I have to do Corin, Amy, Steph, and mine, so that is about 4 hours. all those styles are is hair spray, gel, tons of bobby pins, curling irons, and hot rollers! I can even do Jack-It-To-Jesus-Hair!

karahess
07-02-2008, 11:24 AM
What the heck is Jack It to Jesus hair? Is that the same as Holy High Hair?

I haven't decided how I am going to have mine done. I'm thinking slicked back, Princess Diana like, or fun and flirty!

LynneB
07-02-2008, 11:43 AM
Oh Kara! SLick back hair is soooo glam! I love it! If I wasn't so chubby faced, I would do it! Yes I bet it is the same kind of hair! i can do Mall Hair TOo!

AmyMiles
07-02-2008, 01:23 PM
Lynne you are the best! My hair is longer than shoulder, I just got 2 inches cut off.

LynneB
07-02-2008, 03:13 PM
I can still do it! We can figure something out. Be thinking of a style.

kim is a hair stylist, so I can ask her to help you with your hair for the ball. I am sure she won't mind. Aunt Nancy

StephanieOlivarez
07-07-2008, 10:29 PM
Aunt Nancy--GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!
What fun we will have getting ready for the ball!!!!!!!
Two hair stylists now!
Were all going to look beautiful.

LynneB
07-08-2008, 10:05 AM
Steph, I have seen your pic, you are beautiful already!

TaraHall
07-08-2008, 02:51 PM
I need help with my hair too :). I have gone from long and curly to short and straight. You guys would die if you saw how much I paid to get my hair done. I have just started going to someone new (twice now) and haven't just gotten a cut (highlights and cut the first time, and roots the second time) but I was tired of my old stylist just doing the same thing just longer/shorter layers. I needed a knew, bolder look and this gal wasn't afraid to go for it. Jeff loves it and doesn't ask. He too will get me the occasional spa package which is really nice. I used it on my hair last time, I still have a credit so I am thinking of that massage!

LynneB
07-08-2008, 03:08 PM
My Jeff hates it when I get a cut because he likes long hair. I have grown it for him several times but it is too much work and looks stringy! When it starts to grow on his head then he can wear it the way he wants to! Show us a pic of the new 'do Tara!

TaraHall
07-08-2008, 03:15 PM
LOL I am in the middle of straightening it right now. Only thing about this do is it takes forever. I am not kidding from drying to finish it is about an hour! My hair is naturally wavy so it is a pain but I do like it. When I get done I will have Brandon take a picture and I will try to figure out how to post it. We have VBS tonight so it might be later :).

karahess
07-08-2008, 04:27 PM
I constantly change my hair style. I'm my hairdressers dream come true cause I walk in and tell her to change it up and have fun choosing what she thinks I'd be good with. I get hair bored sooooo easy and to be honest, I don't like it when gals have long hair and all they do is pull it back. DO SOMETHING WITH THAT HAIR! Oh and don't get me started on men dictating how hair shoudl be. That is one topic that highly upsets me - worse than flip flops upset me.

AmyMiles
07-08-2008, 08:45 PM
Kara! Don't rip on people with long hair that pull it back! That's totally me :) I love long hair, but I have to pull it back for work and because I am lazy. Though I am a mom, I am not ready for a "mom" do.

I hate having hair that you have to do' that must be why I also don't wear makeup.
I will make sure that I wear my hair down everyday at hte conference.

LynneB
07-08-2008, 09:08 PM
I won't take sides about the the hair but that is why I usually end up cutting mine because I just end up pulling it up in a pony tail and i wind up with a head ache. But i do love my flip flops too!

Dawn Torrence Ireland
07-08-2008, 09:09 PM
Moving the dress and hair threads onto the Misc forum - because they are private and the Conference forum is public.

I really want to do the girly stuff with you ladies, I need hair help too but I have to be at the ballroom at 4:00 so I'm going to do the hair before then and pray it stays up.

Tara, can't wait to see your photos! I can't imagine you with straight hair, I bet it looks beautiful! I hear ya on the hour thing... which is why I'm one of those ponytail women. I'm too lazy to straighten it or curl it every day. I just don't have time for all that unless it's a special day.

Dawn Torrence Ireland
07-08-2008, 09:10 PM
Nevermind, leaving it here, forgot we made this forum private a few months ago! :)

LynneB
07-08-2008, 09:16 PM
My girls flat iron their curls everyday, takes about an hour! Oh to be 17 and have that kinda time! Dawn,if you want, we will help you out early and spray the dickens out of your hair.

Dawn Torrence Ireland
07-08-2008, 09:35 PM
Oh that would be great, Lynne! I know I want it up and curly. My hair frizzes easily so there's no way I can wear it down in that hot dress in July.

I have got to find time to get to a salon before the events... I have this big ole gray streak I'm trying to hide by parting my hair to the side but that's no longer working. lol. So I think that's the agenda for the Wednesday before the events. Dye and highlights... all day fun. I so hate sitting in a chair all day, I am so envious of women who don't get their first grays until they're 50. I've been going gray since 17. Every 6 weeks, dye the hair. It's been 10. It's not pretty right now.

Barbara and KevinWagner
07-08-2008, 10:26 PM
TARA!! No WAY! short AND striaght?!?! I will not believe it till I see it! LOLOL

I too am a ponytail girl......my hair is naturally curly...but it is not a curl....looks more like when we use to crimp our hair! LOL If I actually curl it it just goes striaght.....grrrr......so up it goes!!

karahess
07-09-2008, 07:09 AM
Here are the 3 styles that I'm torn between at the moment.

I would have to say go for the Lady Di style with the color of the top picture.
Gotta post a picture when you get your new do!!!!!!

Lynne--your nice complement is making me smile! Thanks.

Who's room will be the beauty shop?

karahess
07-11-2008, 11:38 AM
And the winner is . . . . . . . . the Princess Di look that I can also do ultra sporty! Love it!! Today I have it done up sporty. I talked it over with my stylist for about 20 minutes and decided that I would not like the first picture on me cause I'm having problems with heavy long bangs. I need to be choppy and layered.

07-17-2008, 02:21 PM
Amy, Corin, Steph, don't forget your hair colored bobby pins, hair spray, and hot rollers if you still want me to do your hair. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings if you change our mind. I have several ideas in mind. If you want any kind of combs bring those or any thing else to use to fix or adorn your hair. I was in Wal Mart today and they have some really cute ones very reasonable priced. Let me know what you would like to do with your 'do.

LynneB
07-17-2008, 02:22 PM
Ps go to the Wedding Section in the crafts section of the store to find the hair accesories I was referring to

StephanieOlivarez
07-29-2008, 05:32 PM
The pool ended up opening.
So that was a bit of a help.
