I got married last weekend and couldn't afford the $200 or higher price tag every other salon was trying to pin on me for hair and makeup. I love Big Hair for my regular hair needs, so I thought I'd just "settle" for a normal hair-do at Big Hair for my big day. Amber did my hair and make-up and I must say that my hair turned out GORGEOUS, and my make-up did, too! I have never felt so beautiful and glamorous and every one of my guests raved about how beautiful I looked, asking for the name of my stylist. Amber and the folks at Big Hair went above and beyond and I couldn't be happier. My mom (who paid) was thrilled, too, that it less was than half the price of everywhere else. Go to Big Hair!
