I want a Hollywood Glam hair style for my wedding by Jaclynn Kate

One day last week I was Googling 2015 Hollywood Glam looks for weddings. So excited to see all the old fashion looks are coming back into style this year! One of the looks that really stood out to me was the Reese Witherspoon vintage wave look. 

Besides that fact that I adore Reese, her hair style is just so timeless. She may be walking the red carpet rocking this look, but you can absolutely incorporate this into your wedding look.

Now I'm hooked & I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this look on myself so I can offer this timeless look to my brides of 2015!! 

haha I mine as well do my makeup too.. Here is my before makeup & before hair shot. I know- not too pretty yet.

So first I wanted to 'set' my hair. I started from the nape and worked my way to the top of my head taking one inch sections and curling the hair all in the same direction around the head. Then I pinned each curl to allow it time to cool down. This helps keep the curl formation in tact.

Being goofy is my life! <3

So once I set my hair, I proceeded to just do a very natural look on myself for makeup. Stuck with the neutral tones and a lot of mascara. Nothing overly fancy. My hair was my focus & I just wanted my face to look fresh & natural.

In this photo, I have taken my hair down & reshaped the hair to be the perfect wave. I then placed pins where I wanted the wave to move. 

After I placed the pins in, I gave it a big of a hair spray, waited a few minutes & took them out! I them combed my hair out so it was soft, not crunchy! Here is my final look!

I love the look, & clearly loved my outfit that day too! It is a perfect look for almost any occasion. Lucky for me I had a bridal trial that night & the bride loved my hair so much she got it done & booked her wedding the same night!!

Do Brides Normally Get Hair Extensions For Their Wedding? By Jaclynn Kate

I do a lot of chatting online with brides, other bridal vendors & a question came up in one of our 'chat' rooms on Facebook today & it was 'Do we find that most of our brides use hair extensions'? I then observed that one vendor answered said 15% of their clientele does and another vendor said 25% of her clientele does. I found this observation funny, cause I have noticed that 60% of my bridal clientele used hair extensions. 

Now out of this 60% I would said half use the brand that I sell. I often get out-of-state brides who inquire with me about hair extensions mainly cause they can see I do them based off my website, so they don't opt for the brand I sell, they often just use clip-ins. So off of this high jump in percent differences I was wondering to myself, why do so many of my brides use extensions? 

Is it because they have thinner hair?

Is it because they actually thought of extensions as an option?

Is it because I advertise them?

Or is it that I advertise that I know how to incorporate the hair extensions correctly into their updos?

Not to say other vendors don't know how, these ladies I chat with sure can work their magic with updos!! 

Whatever the case, I can tell you that, if you are a bride & you are musing over the idea of extensions & if brides use them or not, I'd say it's all up to you & what you are trying to achieve. If you will feel even more beautiful with them, then go for it. If your hair is cut into a short bob & you want a beautiful chignon, please get them for the sake of your stylist & your want for a specific style. Having realistic expectations with your hair is a must, just have that in mind as well. 

So to answer the question, 'do brides normally get hair extensions for their wedding' is very vague cause everyone's different, everyone's expectations are different, everyone's hair lays different. 

Meet Natasha! She is by far one of the sweetest & funniest brides I have gotten to work with in 2014! I started working with Natasha almost a full year before her wedding so naturally I became her hair dresser too! Yay! This is Natasha's hair a week prior to her wedding. Now we have been letting it grow over the coarse of a year & it's literally grown 6 inches! Which I thought was amazing- but she wasn't satisfied haha =] So she opted for the Hair Treats extensions
Her hair was so long & full - she LOVED IT! It gave Natasha that extra volume she wanted for her half-up half-down look.
Hidden perfectly with an updo! Might I just add this photo is-gorgeous!! WeddingBug Studios clearly knows what they are doing!!

Hair Extensions For Your Wedding Day By Jaclynn Kate

Over the past couple of years I've been asked by my brides "Should I get hair extensions for my wedding''? My answer... 'What are you trying to accomplish'? 

Here's what I feel, if you have thoughts of doing a very intricate updo and your hair only reaches your shoulders, my answer would be yes. 

If your hair is going in a bun & its medium length, I'd say let's try the style first to see if we can accomplish it without the extra cost.

If your hair is on the thinner side & you want a half up half down look, I'd say let's do it. See it's all dependent on what look YOU want to see on your wedding day.

If you want your hair all down and want it thicker, do it. You wont regret it for a second.

Now here's another question, 'what kind'? My first questions after being asked what kind of extensions to get is, 'well how long do you want to keep them for? Are you looking for just a one time wear? Do you want to keep these extensions and continuously use them? Or are you looking for a semi permanent fix with hair extensions'?

If you're looking to just use them once just to enhance your updo- go with a high quality clip in Remy extension. This way, morning of your wedding, your hair stylist can clip them in where they need to & at the end of the night you can pop them out! (If you haven't had too much to drink =] ) 

Clip-ins will also work wonders for half up half down looks, as long as the stylist hides the clips!

Another option if your not too keen on the clip ins would be tape extensions. If you think your hair is fine or thin, ask your stylist for tape extensions. They are literally taped to very small sections of hair. They last six to eight weeks before you'll need them removed and moved further up the hair shaft. They're reusable two or three times and they're pretty easy to hide in an updo.

Now if you are looking for hair extensions to wear longer then just the wedding day, I say go with a more semi permanent version that you can continue to wear on your honey moon! Hair Treats are bonded by a bead & do no damage & can be hidden SO easy with any style! I personally wear these extensions & would NEVER recommend a brand I don't love myself.

Many of my clients use these extensions & they LOVE them!!

Meet my 2015 bride Colby! Colby is pretty awesome & we had a great time when she came into the salon. When she first contacted me she voiced her concerns about how thin her hair was & said she was thinking about hair extensions. I asked what she wanted for an updo & she said all up in curls. After our brief discussion I asked her to come in for a complimentary consultation & she did. After our consult I examined her hair and determined she was a great candidate for Hair Treats Extensions. We ordered 60 pieces to match the color above & I said I would put them in the same day she came back for her bridal hair & makeup trial.

I can't even explain how happy & in love she was with the total look!

Clearly she loves them & they worked out great to give her the curly woven updo she wanted! Her wedding isn't until the end of 2015, so our plan is for her to wear these till June & then change the extensions for a new set.

Wedding Hair & Makeup By Jaclynn Kate

I've been blogging now for a few years about the in salon work I do, meaning all my cuts, colors & hair extensions. However I haven't taken the time to blog about my wonderful brides!!! So to start 2015 off on the right foot, I have decided to dedicate time to blogging about my bridal trials & wedding outcomes throughout the year of 2015. 

My goal from my blogging is to bring brides new ideas of looks & teach them how makeup doesn't have to change your overall look to making you appear like a completely different person, but it can enhance your natural beauty while hiding some blemishes that you wouldn't want to see on your wedding day anyway =]

On a side note- all of the photos I will be posting on my blog I have ASKED my brides permission to take their photos & share online. I would never share any photos if someone asked me not to & I would never keep anything on the internet if asked to take down. 

Moving forward, I would like to introduce my racy redheaded bride Amy. 

Amy is so awesome. Super down to earth, covered in tattoos, which anyone who knows me knows I love beautiful artwork & she has the coolest wedding cake I have ever seen!! Amy said she never wears makeup & hates the feel of makeup. She also began to tell me how she recently went to another salon for a makeup service and they gave her a deep smokey eye with thick foundation & asked for the exact opposite! That stinks! I have totally miss communicate with a client before too =[ so I was sure to listen extra close to what she was trying to communicate to me. 
Amy said please keep it as natural as possible, keep cool with the colors and use only neutral colors on my eyes. She did however let me throw some lashes on =] =]

 She's stunning isn't she?!? 

I explained to Amy that I was going to airbrush her face and talked her through the whole process. Man do I love those lashes on her! She loves the feeling of the airbrush makeup & loved how it didn't make her look fake or too 'done up'.

Next was her hair. She said she doesn't do too much with her hair & didn't want anything too fancy 'just a simple updo with curls will do'. Okay bride you got it!

So cute. She let me add some little pin curls in the back. With this hair style we left her curls much tighter then they will be the day of her wedding, and we did this so she could see how they fall during the day. Amy loved her hair & makeup trial & said it was more then she asked for & booked with us right after her trial!! Looking forward to this wedding in June 2015!!
