What is your most memorable wedding?
It was summer 2015, everything was meticulously planned with a large bridal party all to be styled at the bridal suite. We arrived for a 6:30 am start, only to find the bride was in A&E with her daughter. In the last hour the wedding went ahead. It was an intense time but with family, love, support and some teamwork on our part love conquered all and we got the bride down the isle. (The brides daughter was fine in the end and attended the wedding)

Creating fabulous hair is what I love mostly as a creative hair stylist. A bride may feel a look is unachievable with their particular hair type, but with clever extension placement and hair padding techniques anything is possible. i love to see the transformation unfold.
What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?
Love your skin and hair in the months running up to your wedding. Regular deep conditioning treatments which doesn't need to be expensive it can be done at home, and ex foliating facials starting at least 4-6 weeks prior to ensure a glowing complexion. If you suffer with breakouts, blue light therapy (LLLT) should clear it up and similarly if your suffer with a dry complexion drink lots of water and take a good multi vit for the hair skin and nails.
How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?
Every bride receives itinerary of the morning with timings for hair and make up. This allows everyone to have an understanding of who shall be receiving what service at what time. It is of course flexible but it helps to have a plan especially with larger parties.

Be comfortable, be happy, be beautiful. This is your moment, live it and love it.
