I do not trust anyone but Gina(Giao)to be there for me on my big day. She is the most detail oriented stylist I've been to, so I know that on my big day she will not accept anything but perfection -- and the hair and make-up trial proved just that!

I told Gina exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and make-up and she delivered. I was happy to accept my created hair style, as I had it set to wear my hair down to cover the tattoo on my back. I got a tiara and everything, just to dress my hair up a bit.

After my hair and make-up was completed, Gina says "can I be honest with you?", (I LOVE that about her, she doesn't beat around the bush) of course when your stylist says that, you listen! So she suggested that I do not use the tiara as planned and that I try for a more modern flower hair pieces, and she let me try a few on that she created. I was open to suggestions, so I tried a few on.

After changing my hair style to a low up-do, and playing around with a few hair pieces, I ended up totally changing the look I had originally planned. But that's what the trial is all about right? Gina is also going to create a custom hairpiece for me to wear on my special day! I'm so excited to see how it turns out!

Her husband, Thai, was also there, and snapped a few pictures (he does bridal and family photography), which was wonderful since I didn't bring anyone with my to my hair and make-trial, so now I can show my mom and bridesmaids the look I've chosen (Thanks Thai!) I didn't get a chance to book Thai for an engagement session, since I've already booked my photographer. But I have been to his blog, and he is definitely an up and coming photographer to look out for!

Brides, if you are looking for someone to make you look fabulous on your big day, you need to book with Gina (Giao)!
