Prom is one of the most memorable days of a high school career.  As with all monumental events,  a lot of preparation is involved in the months leading up to prom, and it can be especially stressful for girls.

Perfect makeup and hair, a fresh manicure, a nice tan and a gorgeous dress are generally on the prom to-do list.  With the infinite stress surrounding junior year in the long weeks ahead, it is best to try to make prom as stress free as possible. It’s hard to get excited for this big event when you’re stressing out on all the things you have to do beforehand. Prom is supposed to be fun, not strenuous.  It’s important to keep this process as stress free as possible. Choosing to get your hair and makeup done for prom can take a lot of stress out of this equation.

If doing hair and makeup is something you are experienced in, then you shouldn’t have a problem with doing it yourself. But for the girls that are not as cosmetically skilled, it’s best to have it done by a professional. Nothing would be worse than doing your own hair, and thinking it looks great until you see the pictures the next day. You don’t want to regret any decision about your prom day experience.  Paying just a little bit extra will be worth it when you have the perfect hair and desired makeup style.  Senior

Another concerning thing is time…or lack of it. You don’t want to run out of time trying to make your hair and makeup look perfect. You will find yourself rushing, and rushing will stress you out even more.  If you rush, your hair and makeup probably won’t come out the way you want, and just a small thing like that can damage our prom experience. You want to look your best so that you will feel your best.

Find a hair or makeup specialist that you trust. It’s not too late to make an appointment as there are plenty of salons around Scituate and close by in other towns. The hair specialists know what they’re doing and they know exactly how much time it will take. If you’re already starting to stress about not having enough time to get ready, leave it to the professionals; they can work efficiently.

Students who are taking an AP Stat exam the afternoon of May 10th will already be stressed and should, if possible, rely on the professionals to relieve some of the pressures. There is no need to stress about how your hair and makeup looks when you can just get it done and save time and energy.  These stylists know what they’re doing, so you don’t have to worry about your makeup wearing off, or your hair falling out.

So, if you’re looking for a way to make prom as stress free as possible, choosing to get your hair and or makeup done allows you to focus less on the way you look, and more on the fun night ahead.
