I would say, “We would love it if you can come to our wedding, and I also wouldn’t want anyone else to do my hair!” See how she reacts and ask if she’d rather come do it for you at the hotel or have you make an appointment at the salon. I don’t think it’s insulting at all to have her do your hair since you’ve known her largely as a part of a vendor-client relationship anyway, so it’s not like asking your mom to perform some service for money or anything. I bet she’ll be flattered both that you want her to do your hair AND that you’re inviting her, so she’ll just take the morning off at the salon. I wouldn’t worry about inviting her mother and sister if you’re less close to them (you don’t invite all your friends’ mothers and sisters either!) since they should know you’re closer to her. Good luck!

I think Bluebell has it right! But if she really has to shut down the whole salon while she’s gone, than what I would do is give her a huge tip… to help make up for her lost wages. She may refuse it, but either way… she’ll be touched.

Thanks everyone! It’s basically the same thing my fiance said yesterday!
