Regarding my bridesmaids' wedding day hair, I would prefer the BMs to have more natural styles as opposed to sculpted updos.  So, I am perfectly fine with all of them just doing their own hair for the wedding.  However every time I have been a BM, we always had our hair professionally done at the same salon, and the bride footed the bill.  Since that has become tradition in my group of friends/famly, I feel kind of weird asking them to do their own hair for the wedding.

Who is doing your bridesmaid's hair?

My bridesmaids are hair down kind of girls, in fact the only times i've seen one of them with her hair up is at the gym. that being said, i will offer the service to them, but they'll probably choose not to, which is fine by me.

I didn't care one way or the other, but they all wanted to, so off to the salon we go!  We're getting married out in the boonies, so paying someone to come to us just wasn't worth the $$.

I paid for their hair as part of their gift and had the same stylist that did my hair do theirs.  When it came to their hair, I didn't really think of what they would want.  Throughout the whole process, I was trying to get feedback from my 3 girls about dresses and shoes and accessories and evertyhing, but they always said whatever I wanted was fine for them.

I am having a stylist come to us where we are getting ready and a friend who is a make-up artist also coming. I am offering up the stylist and offering to pay for it for anyone that is interested. It is pricey but I made sure to find a stylist I could afford to do all of their hair. I know some of them will prefer to do their own hair and that's fine. I just didn't want them to have to worry about their hair during the day. I was going to ask them to cover the tip? Anyone think that is rude? I have eight bridesmaids so tipping for all of them could drive it up another $150.

I've been in weddings where we paid for our hair, tip for that and makeup. The bride tipped the makeup artist. She required us to get our hair put up.

My girls are all used to be in weddings and paying to get their hair done.  If they told me they'd rather not then I wouldn't make them.  I think most of them like getting it done!

I'm paying to have hair/make-up/nails done for my girls, as my main gift to them. I've been in weddings where brides paid, and ones where I had to do my own, and I found it REALLY stressful to have to do my own because I have no clue how to do hair. So I'm doing this to make it more fun for everyone.

I have one problem tho. One of the girls has Celiac's disease, which means she's allergic to wheat gluten. Lo and behold, almost all hair, make-up, and skin products contain gluten (go figure, right?). So she'll have to bring her own stuff. I know she's used to it by now, but still, I feel like she's being singled out. I've talked to her about it, and she says it's fine, and the spa that's doing all of it said it'd be no problem to work with her, but I'm a little concerned. I hope it all turns out well.

I am going to ask my bridesmaids to have their hair professionally done, but they can do their own make-up.  I was recently in a wedding where we had a choice to get our hair done, and some did and some didn't and our hair just did not look of the same "styling level" and the ones that did their own did not stay very nice for all the pictures throughout the day. 

I am paying for all of the bridesmaids to have their hair done as a treat to them. The stylists are coming to the hotel where all of the BMs are staying and doing the hair there for everyone's convenience.
