I called Aldo's hair salon about 6 weeks in advance. I was feeling out the area where we are going to get married. My hair dresser back in Bayonne, NJ told me to call around and look at the websites... (I didn't know what I was looking for in the websites- or how I'd know who was any "better" at one thing or another), so took the dart and tossed. Aldo's happen to be the first place I called. The man who answered without asking knew what I was coming in for, told me what and how it works, and I said I'd let him know... This place stuck in my mind, so called back a couple days later to make the appointment for an updo, and what was recommended was the "hair trial".
Ok, so day of hair trial comes, my car is packed and ready to go up a few days before put big day, I'm excited to see what will happen with my hair, and go from there. I got to the salon. The owner introduced me to Teri. She, in her, no kidding, way laid back (remember, I'm a wee excited and eager), simply pulls out my hair tie, and looks and feels my hair, and casually asked what I had in mind. I showed her the couple pictures I thought might work... And she responds, ok. We can do that... Now, I'm thinking she's going to do this now for a "pre-run" but something told me she was all set (and three wasn't going to be any curling or updo today). She sat down, we chatted.... I realized, I'm in good hands.
The day came, and no kidding, it was like this absolute professional hair stylist in this absolutely "easy" personality. I had no worries. (Which by the way, is what we all wish for, so when it happens, on the day of your wedding, pretty much you can't get a big smile off your face(;). I had soooo many compliments on the hair. I wanted to tell Teri in person, but I realized this is even better. Thank you Teri. You made the very beginning of my "big day" begin with a warm sense of peace, and end with a beautiful no fuss, updo. (Which I took out today, and wow! No tangles! And still really prett curls(:). Thank you for your part in my unforgettable day. read more
