EDR -- Hairstylists/Spa experiences

brigopens · September 12, 2007

OK, totally not in my realm, but I need to ask.

Anyone had experience or hear how things went with the har people at EDR? My fiance is thinking of having them do her hair that morning, as are some other girl's in the party... Depending on price, we're wondering if it might make more sense to just bring someone with us so they get to enjoy the vacation and she can be more confident in who's doing her hair...

Any thoughts/advice would be helpful.

I'd love to hear reviews if anyone has them as I'm a little concerned about this myself.

I checked a bunch of photog's site for photos of brides at EDR. Most had their hair done and though you can't tell is the Spa staff did it, they looked good. I figure they probably do more bridal hair than most salons since there' about 3 weddings a day there.

Just in case it doesn't pan out so well, we have two stylists that are guests of the wedding!

Brian, would you actually fly down a stylist or do you have a friend that could do it?

I've put out emails to a couple of EDR couples we have found from the past year or two. I will post what they have to say...

I'm not so sure we would fly down a stylist, but Amy's friend does her hair and isn't currently planning on making it to the wedding. if the experiences down there have been bad, we'd likely provide her some pretty decent incentive to join us, whether it was covering her flight or room or whatever...

Hopefully things down there have been good for people and it won;t become an issue. Maybe Sol or Matt will have some input as they have shot plenty of weddings there and surely seen the girls getting their hair done...

Leigh -- Thanks for your input. April looked great, so that's 1 point for the resort stylists...
