Eighth Grade Prom??

I am a Middle School Hair stylist here in Airdrie and Im in Eighth grade and at least 16 people want me to do their hair for prom at the end of the year,the dance starts at seven and school ends a 3:30 so how should i do their hair, should i let them pick out a style out a magazines a day or two before prom or should i just plan out styles and they get what they get? I know im asking early because i still have 9 months buti must plan ahead, and i even have to get myself ready and they want me to do their make up... HELP!

Eighth Grade Prom??

16 is a lot for 3hrs... let them pick their hairstyles and it is better if you give it a try in advance... have an assistant who can help you or train someone before the big day... i am not sure if the girls agree if someone does for them.. but when you cant do it atleast you can train someone to help you right... if you have some heads given to another trainee of yours, you should be able to do it...

good luck :)

Let them pick them from magazines, and do it just like you said. Or you could just do what you think looks good

Eighth Grade Prom??

Ask each of them to send you pictures of what they want; create a folder or something to store them until the prom. If the dance starts at seven and school ends at three-thirty, then you have a little over 3 hours. Depending on how long each hairstyle will take, I'm not sure you can fit in sixteen people. That would mean giving each person about eighteen minutes. Anyway, set up a schedule for each person; when to show up at your house and how long their hair will take. Good luck!

Eighth Grade Prom??

let them pick but if they pick smthing thats going to take you too long say NO. don't be scared to say no! also who said you have to show up at 7 on the dot? btw i do hair up here at UPenn and one time this girl wanted me to redo her whole big head or extentions and i had to tell her NO b/c I had somewhere to be and that was going to take a longgg time. kudos to u for planing ahead

WOW, you really bit off more than you can chew!!

Sixteen heads, and you still have to get yourself ready!

You must be a Siamese twin octopus.

Well here's a few suggestions: Pick three hair styles you can do well and fast, and you tell the girls these are the three choices they have to pick from. If they have a problem with it, tell them time is an issue due to the amount of heads you will be doing that day (including your own) , this way you gave them the choice to go else where. Remember two many choices become overwhelming to both parties. Also, about the make up......just do their foundation, let them do their own eyes, lips and cheek blush. This way you gave them a great start on their own individual preference; less or more. I think these tips will help you reduce the time you spend on them, so you can get yourself ready too.
