I would love to leave the talented Dina and her wonderful squad a positive review. They 100% deserve it for their time, energy, and efforts in making my bridal party *shine*. As th...e bride, though, I sadly wasn't as thrilled specifically about my hair and did want to be honest about that in posting a review :( for back-story...
- I had the pleasure of wedding planning with Dina over the course of 1.5 years. We had a fun, successful trial this past spring where she and Rosy completely and totally nailed my dream bridal look.
- Dina and her squad came to Temecula this past weekend for my big day. From the hair to the glam, the moms and bridesmaids all looked/felt spectacular! 10/10! I loved how I looked, too, but unfortunately my hair did not AT ALL hold the same curl it had following our initial trial (and my hair naturally holds curls well). I was soooo upset when I looked in the mirror after our first look and saw that my hair had completely and totally fallen. The ceremony hadn't even happened yet! Pics attached of how I looked just one hour post-styling: I received tight Hollywood curls then wound up as looser waves, akin to a salon blowout. Fortunately, my bridesmaids swooped in and saved the day, using their own curling irons to spruce up my hair… all before the wedding had even technically begun.
- Ultimately, I would *highly* recommend Dina and her team, but more than anything, that other brides consider booking a bit of pick-up glam between the couples’ photos and the ceremony itself to avoid feeling the way I did. I would’ve LOVED to spend that hour between commitments relaxing and rejoicing with my ladies instead of tensely having them re-do the team’s work. I asked for a small refund for the anxiety, but I don't think I will be getting that back.
*** In a nutshell, Dina and Rosy are awesome and I hope they know I appreciate them. I just wish things had turned out different so I could leave her the rave review with absolutely no criticisms.
