I don't understand - are you concerned about them looking too good?

Aquamarine1029 · 05/08/2022 01:29

They did arrange to get their own hairdresser. I don't see what your problem is. This hairdresser won't be attending your wedding, they will just be doing your guest's hair. What's the issue?

TheStarsDontShine · 05/08/2022 01:30

It's fine - no different to a mobile hairdresser doing their hair at home before going to a wedding - they're not at home so improvising

PeekAtYou · 05/08/2022 01:30

Is the problem that they are coming to the venue rather than rented house and there's no space at the venue?

Aquamarine1029 · 05/08/2022 01:31

If you don't want the hairdresser at the venue then tell them this right now. The hairdresser can see them at the house.

Thank you for your input maybe im just over reacting

Absolutely don't see what your issue with this is. I presume they are paying for the accommodation so they can do what they want. How does them having their own hairdresser impact you negatively?

Thank you feel better about it now and what you have said is true

I agree with others. Genuinely can't see what the problem is. It'd be different if they wanted your hairdresser to do them. I think its understandable they'd have someone come along

sunglassesonthetable · 05/08/2022 01:48

Chill OP! They're just getting their hair done.

Does it get in the way of anything you're doing? If not, don't worry about it. They're just getting a mobile hairdresser.

Sounds like you might be getting a bit stressed by it all. Relax and enjoy it. These guests are just getting into the spirit and making an effort.

Hope it goes well.

Sleep tight and try not to stress so much

Don't know about hairdressing but your grammar is atrocious. "Their" hair not "there". Sorry but had to point it out.

TheCatterall · 05/08/2022 02:25

You didn’t really have to point it out @Craver - you chose to do so. If someone asks for grammar policing than crack on. Otherwise stick to the very obvious issue the OP posted about…

OP totally get why this annoyed (I get irrationally annoyed about things sometimes lol) you but honestly YABU. Actually you should take it as a compliment - they’re making an extra special effort for YOUR big day. All the best 💐

StClare101 · 05/08/2022 02:43

Genuinely do not see what the issue is. Have you banned all guests from having their hair done? They are in the other house and won’t be in your way!

GCAcademic · 05/08/2022 03:43

Get a bloody grip.

Holidayy · 05/08/2022 04:40

Getting their hair done before going to a wedding "takes the biscuit" and has really upset you? Sorry but I think you might have a touch of the bridezilla 😂

Hotandbothereds · 05/08/2022 04:56

Glad the replies have made you have a rethink OP, this really is no big deal at all.

Lots of people get their hair done by a hairdresser if they’re attending a wedding, totally normal & doesn’t affect your day whatsoever except they’ll look lovely on the photos!

You didn’t have to do anything, what an utterly pointless thing to post about.

I think you meant, "Sorry but I had to point it out"

I don't think commenting on a woman, who is obviously stressed, whose grammar isn't up to your standards is less than supportive.

Also my cat is trying to walk over my keyboard so mine might not be perfect.

OP
I actually think it is a good idea, if they are sharing the bathroom(s) a hairdresser will take some of the stress out of it for them, and as someone else pointed out they are making an effort to look good for your day.

Have a wonderful day.
