make-up and hair trial

a few weeks ago, my bridesmaids gathered and attempted a makeup and hair trial at my place to see if we can handle the beauty portion on the big day...it did not work out suffice it to say i looked like a drag queen (i will consider humoring you all with those photos one day) so i was on the search for a makeup and hair artist...after much searching i booked my first trial with sissi chan

Sissi arrived on time todayand we quickly got to work (i loved the fact this was at my apt, i was in my pjs...loved it!)

(this is what she had to work with, me in all my tragic glory...yah...)

after an hour and half of poking, prodding, hair setting she went from that to this...

no flash but i think i looked pretty dang good
with flash


my hair and faux flower (if i will be using a fresh flower that isn't pink day of...this was just the only thing i had for a last minute thing) i liked it, but i requested day of to be less "detailed" i wanted a simpler chignon like in my "who doesn't love a sale" post

i booked sissi on the spot, i thought she did a great job and her rates were totally reasonable...and turns out her biological sister is one of the founders to MY sorority, what a small world?!
