Happy Anniversary!

Hello Lovelies!

It's a special post today!

Two years ago today I married my best friend!
It doesn't really seem like it's been that long at all - I still remember very clearly making the wedding cake the week before and getting up super early to go to the hair dressers on the day and it definitely doesn't feel like two years ago!

Happy anniversary Mr Lock!

Ta-ta for now,
X

IKON HAIR REVIEW - Earley - ~*~Positive!~*~

Hello Lovelies,


Hair is a very personal thing. You always want it to look it's best, and the wrong hair cut can mean disaster (unless you own a variety of awesome hats!) I've had some very bad hair cuts in the past and even a few there were completely opposite to what I wanted (take the time when I asked for a scene cut, and for it to be dyed pillar box red - I left almost 4 hours later with dark red perfectly straight, one length all round!!). There's now only one person I trust to cut my hair, and that's Kay from Ikon Hair!


I met Kay almost two years ago when I was looking for a bridal hair dressers that wasn't going to charge me £300 just to do my hair, I wasn't asking for anything too complicated (I think, but saying that I did have long hair that reached the small of my back, and it's quite thick too) But I contacted Ikon and sent them a picture of what I was asking for and they came back with a price and asked if I could pop in!) From there it was pretty much history! Kay did a wonderful job of my hair for the wedding, so much so that I went back a few days later to get it cut shorter. I really do love Kay, and one of the things that I like best is that she LISTENS to what I ask for! She also chats to me whilst styling my hair! I can't stress enough, how good this is, every other place I've been always makes it seem like a massive inconvenience that I'm there and I end up sitting in silence for an hour! Ikon always makes me feel welcome.


So here's a quick before and after my last visit to Ikon! My hair always looks so pretty and feels really soft! I'd highly recommend Ikon to anyway in the Wokingham/Earley/Woodley/Reading area! It's definitely worth a trip!


You can check out their website below which has a price list and a handy online booking system to boot!

Absent no more!

Hello all!

Appologies for the lack of updates recently. (Alright, so its been a year, whoops!) It's been one heck of a year, I've moved, changed jobs and married! So I think a teeny tiny absence could be excused? :)

Of course all this time has given me plenty of ideas to write about, including new posts under the tag The Budget Bride - these will be super handy for all new brides-to-be and will look at ways of saving money during one of the most expensive days of your life.
