A Hairy Situation

306 days to go.

I have realized my biggest mistake since moving to Ottawa four years ago. I never found (committed) to a hairstylist. Now as I search the city for an affordable and reputable (and mobile) stylist I'm finding it next to impossible. I always laughed when Q told me to find a stylist here. I would explain to him how the relationship between a woman and her stylist is very important and should not be entered in lightly. The trust I have in my current stylist (in T.O and cannot travel) is unparalleled. He's been cutting my hair since I was 16, how do I just move on?

Now I know I should have. I have been looking all over the city for a mobile hair stylist for my wedding day. I find that once you use the word "wedding" you have officially given businesses to financially rape you. They know you will spend it and they will gouge every penny from you. Look I'm not usually cheap...ok, maybe a little. But how does one justify $200 on getting one's hair did? Really? I don't even spend that when I get it cut! Plus, throw in extensions if my hair doesn't grow long enough and the hair of my Maid of Honor, mother and soon to be mother in-law... I repeat... Financially raped.

All I know is that this part of the planning is actually really stressing me out. More so then the dress. I guess because I'm not talented enough to do a really good job with my hair, and plus, this is the way I will look on the day I get married...there is just a little bit of pressure don't you think.
