Organising appointments for prom seems like a simple task, but if you leave it too late all of the 'good' times and dates will fill up. What I mean when I say good times and dates is having your hair done at a suitable time so you can do your makeup and it won't fall out, or having your spray tan done a few days in advance so that it has time to set.
I hope that todays post will help you to manage what times and days before hand you should make your appointments for. Obviously you only need to book the appointments of the things your going to be having done!
When booking your appointments its best to book your trial and actual appointment at the same time - you can always cancel the real appointment if your trial doesn't go too well! I suggest that with your hair and makeup appointments you book your trial for three weeks in advance to your prom date. This will allow you time to consult with your stylist/artist any changes you may require or look for a different salon etc.
For nail appointments, you don't have to go to fancy spas at hotels, your local beauty salon will be just as good. As it is prom I am going to be booking a manicure and pedicure with massages included for an added touch of luxury. However, just having your nails painted will be fine! Think about what shoes your going to be wearing - are they peep toed? If so then don't forget to get a pedicure too! Also make sure to check the nail polish/gel colours available and match them to your dress!
Other appointments you will want to make will be your spray tan, wax appointments, any eyelash/eyebrow tinting and shaping, body massages and so on.
Most salons who offer waxing say that you must not apply moisturiser or harsh body washes as well as using sun beds, exposing your skin to harsh sun light or get a spray tan for at least twenty four hours after. This means that you will need to consider a suitable time for you to have your wax in enough time to be able to have your tan.
I highly recommend that you don't go to new salons to have your regular appointments such as waxing and getting your eyebrows done. This is because the wax may be different and you may be allergic and they may not shape your eyebrows the way you want/usually have them.
Although prom is the time to experiment with your hair and makeup as well as trying out different styles of dresses and colours, its not really the time to be experimenting with different eyebrow shapes and products that could cause you to have an allergic reaction and come out in a rash!
