Haircut same day as wedding?

[polarbearfans]

Is it too risky to get my hair cut the same day (morning) of a wedding I am attending? My schedule is crazy this week, I just moved and salon is 45 minutes away, so I don't want to make two trips (cut on Wednesday and style in Saturday). I'm worried my hair will be a flat wreak by the evening but it needs cut

if you've been there before and trust who you're going to see, I would totally do it, especially as a guest I think it's fine. if you were the bride... maybe not lol

ETA: I do this all the time because then I get a 'free' hairstyle

[polarbearfans]

lol it's a new stylist. I like the salon a lot though. Someone would probably step in if it was terrible. The girl I usually use isn't available.

[MrsPotatohead]

oh I think it should be fine - although I have long hair so it's pretty hard to mess it up, but I imagine if you weren't happy someone could definitely fix it for you!

If you were the bride I would say no way jose, but as a guest I bet you'll be fine. Maybe give yourself some time to rewash and style if you need to.

Since you're just a guest, I think it will be fine.

Yes, I have done it in the past.

Yes, I've done it in the past too. I told her to go a little lighter on the product since I didn't want it flat and limp by the end of the night and it looked great.

[polarbearfans]

Thanks all! I will ask for them to go light on the product. I know as a guest the focus isn't on me, but most of our friends will be there, and we rarely get pictures as a couple, so I was hoping to look halfway decent for the Christmas card collage lol

As a guest? Nbd.

I wouldn't give it a second thought.

I would't give it a second thought. As a guest I only ever care that I'm dressed appropriately. If my hair doesn't look fantastic, who cares? I'm just a guest.

Usually I don't care, but it would be nice to look good for one of our few outings and get a picture. We don't have any pictures from last year or early this year because of how bad I felt and looked from health issues. I had one very bad pic for the Christmas card last year.

I'm feeling better, gained 20 pounds. I have lost a lot of hair from the meds, but that may actually benefit me since my hair was always fine but thick, and hard to style.

Thanks everyone for the perspective. The day is and has always been about our amazing friends, and if we cannot have a cute couple pic, my husband can take me out to dinner! lol
