Hi amberdale! Congrats on your upcoming wedding. If you're on a tight budget, I would suggest not actually mentioning the word 'wedding' (lol). Instead you could just build up a relationship with a nice and reasonably priced beauty therapist, try her out a couple of times and go from there. I have noticed that bridal 'packages' in salons are often extortionaately priced. Also, if you are looking for a natural-ish look some of the styles popular here may be a bit OTT. I used to get my hair done at Pebbles, a small salon on SZR which is quite popular with EK crew. I noticed there were some pictures of a lovely, understated bride made up tastefully. I know she had her hair and make-up done there. Also when I got married (in the UK) I used the Body Shop who were very reasonable, did a great job AND let me keep all the make-up. All for about 20 or 30 quid! Not sure they offer the same service here but you could always check them out. Good luck and enjoy yout preps! KB x KarenBlixen - Thanks :) As you know weddings are expensive affairs, and stuff like this just happens to be very very expensive here. I've looked at some work, but it looks and kinda feels quite heavy and overdone. I will try out pebbles..thanks for the recommendation. :)

kaya skin care clinic charges 350per session for 'painless' laser... some new kind of treatment they have... regular laser sessions are 250per session... both sessions are cheaper if u book multiple sessions... Hi abby_n_christina, I just went to a Kaya yesterday evening and the rates they quoted me were not the same. I was quoted 1975AED for the normal laser for 7 sessions, and 2275 AED for 5 sessions of the painfree one. Are these package prices they quoted you?

I would also highly recommend Madis Haddad, she did my makeup and I was very happy with the result. She's Lebanese so she can do the dramatic Arabic style but also more toned down, shall we say "European" style. I did a one hour trial with two styles, for which I paid aed500, and then she deducted the amount from the total price for the make up on the day. I was impressed by her professionalism, punctuality, the cleanliness of her brushes/tools etc and most of all by her ability to make my skin look healthy and flawless without being 'cakey' or yellow-ish as they did at MAC for instance. As I'm not sure she would appreciate me posting her cellphone here, just let me know if you're interested and give me your email so I can pass along her contacts. Thanks for the recommendation Big Blue - would you be able to share how much she charged for your make up ?
