I would say it's more important to find out if the hairdo has staying power than to avoid letting FI see you. If it's a choice between taking it down early (and maybe having it fall early on the wedding day) and spoiling the surprise, go ahead and show him. It probably won't look EXACTLY the same anyway.
I let my FI see me after my hair & make up trial. As a matter of fact, we had our engagement photo session right after. It didn't matter much to me because it's the whole package that I want him to see. He'll forget all the bits and pieces anyway.
I had my hair trial last week and I let him see it. (If you want to see it, take a look here)
I don't think he won't remember, but I think it will look a lot different with a wedding dress...
BTW: Since I won't let him see the wedding dress, I at least wanted to know if he likes my hairdo!
I haven't had mine yet (wedding still a year away!) but I will let him see when I do - because I want to be sure he still feels I look like 'me' - don't want him feeling like he's marrying someone else on the day!! ;-)
My trial is in two weeks, on a Saturday and in the early morning. There is no way I could go the day without seeing him. I figure it won't be exactly like the wedding day and I won't be having my makeup done at that time so the full effect won't be there. I would LOVE to not show him so it could be a huge surprise but I just don't see how it would work.
I didn't check a box on the poll, because yes, I'll 'let' him see - but it's not because I don't think he'll remember. :) It's just not a very big deal to us. Plus I'll want his feedback, especially since I NEVER wear make up (literally maybe 3 times for costume parties in the past 6 years).
I had my hair and makeup trials last Friday and he begged to see when I got home. My 7yo came up with the idea of 'redoing' my hair as a joke so we pulled down the back and called it my "wedding mullet". He tried so hard to be sweet and supportive but finally broke down and told me he hated it! I had to admit we played a joke on him ;-)
I'm sure he'll see it, just because we spend so much time together that he's bound to see it anyways - it's more important to me to see if it will last all day! Plus, he won't remember what it looks like, I'm sure!
yeah i'm sure i'll show him when i get home.... he won't remember, ha! he also hates, hates lipstick on me so i want to see if he thinks what i'm wearing is too dark. (seriously he hates lipstick!)
Wow, I hadn't even thought about this - good point! My trial is the day before the wedding (we're getting married away from where we live), so he probably will see me! May even be at the hotel while it happens...hmmm...
I had my hair and makeup trials a few weeks ago (seperately) and he saw both. It isn't a big deal for him or I because I didn't have both done together and didn't have the dress on.
I'm trying to time my hair & makeup trial for another friend's wedding. We have a lot of the same guests so a ton of people will see it but I don't mind. I'm guessing if it can withstand me jumping around and dancing as a guest at a wedding all day it'll stay for my wedding too. I'll just add the flowers to my hair on my wedding day. ;)
I did show the hubs my hair and makeup trial once it was completed. I wanted him to see it to get his input and he definitely gave it to me. Good thing though because I actually agreed with some of his suggestions. So when the actual day came, I shared my thoughts to my artists and they happily made the changes. Worked out great!
He'll be seeing my make up trial - I'm having it the day of our e-pics! I don't know if I'll let him see the hair trial or not - probably I really do like his opinions on that stuff.
I think I am going to let him see. I want to make sure he likes it!
I can't avoid him seeing it since we live together! Also, I looked so good I made him take me out on a date those days :)
Hmm... My wife and I had our trials together. Neither of us really cared about the whole tradition of not having the spouse see us beforehand in our dresses, hairstyles, etc.
My FI came to both my hair and makeup trials! Since we are planning long distance, I lumped the hair trial in with many other appts that day and there was no where else for him to go! So he read magazines and gave his opinion when asked. And my makeup artist traveled up to NYC for the trial and came to our apartment. He put on headphones and played Xbox, but obviously saw me once she was done :)
I'm going this weekend with my mom. I'm not planning on having him see it but PPs make a good point about figuring out the staying power. Hmmm. Food for thought.
Haha I know for a fact he won't remember or notice. I came home after my trial with two eyes done completely differently, one in tones of brown, one in blue and silver. I looked like a clown. The first thing FI says when he sees me, "baby, you look beautiful!" :D
yeah i'll let him see, its not like he will remember what it looked like.. hes a guy they don't rememer that shit
I said yes, but only to MAKEUP NOT TO HAIR and not because I don't think he will remember, but because I want him to LOVE the way I look during the wedding. I know he'll think I'm beautiful no matter what, but, my FI is so use to me barely wearing makeup - tinted moisterizer, blush, eyeliner, and chapstick, so, I know if I wear just a TAD BIT more than normal he will think I look "different" not bad, but maybe not good either.
I am so glad that I let him see my first trial, because my MOA went heavy on the eye makeup....for me... i mean if you are use to seeing you fiance wearing heavy eye makeup daily than it would have been beautiful, but the first words out of his mouth was " I don't like your eye makeup AT all, you look better without any eye makeup." He was persistent on it, and wasn't "just saying it".
So I did a 2nd trial with the same MOA and explained the issue, she used colors that enhanced my eye color(s) (they change from blue-gray-green-teal-pale blue- to even purple) so not only was it pretty and natural colors.. buy my eye color got really enhanced and looked a pretty teal.
When I walk down the aisle my eyes might look super blue, green, or purple (which would be great since thats my wedding color lol), so theres still an elimante of surprise, but I'm glad he got to have an opinion... that last thing I would want is to walk down the aisle and his reaction be..."wow, now that makeup makes her look different.. not in a good way!"
I say show your FI, they have opinions and you want to look beutiful for him...I mean its not like your FIs will ever say anything, but you know what I mean ladies.. they think it but never ever say it.. its like asking "hun do I look fat in this?" lol.
My hair though, he has seen pictures of what I want and loves the style, but he wont see my hair until I walk down the aisle.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I have my hair and make-up trial on Friday and I'm a little torn about letting my FI see me afterward. I want to leave it in as long as I can so I can really tell if it will stay put on the wedding day, but I don't want to ruin the surprise for my FI. Avoiding him the whole day isn't really an option either.
For those who are curious, here's the "do". I also had a custom-made headband that we'll try out, but I'll switch that out for an every-day headband if I decide to leave the hair in all day. And yes, there's a braid. I love this hair style so much!!!
(Also, I have very thin hair, so you can see why I'm concerned about the curls staying put all day... I may be forced into an up-do if it doesn't work out on Friday!
