Grow your hair

Clients usually start growing their hair from the day they get engaged as they know that a longer hair style means their hairstylist has more to work with on their big day. We always find that as soon as they return from their honeymoon, the first thing they do on their return is book an appointment to cut it all off again!. I also advise clients not to colour their hair less than two weeks before their big day. This way it has time to settle and get in great condition for all the pictures

Tips for Finding the Right Beauty Therapist for Your Wedding Day

Your wedding is by far one of the biggest days of your life and there is an awful lot of pressure on the bride to look her very best - not a hair out of place, not a blemish in sight and not a single chipped nail on her fingers or toes. For many women, this can mean numerous visits to beauty salons and hairdressers from as early as 12 months before the wedding. But can you be sure that the professional beautician you choose is the right person for the job?

Bridal and Honeymoon Hair Care Tips

On average, how long does hair take to do on the day- is a hair rehearsal really necessary?

The time needed to perfect a wedding day hairstyle depends entirely on the look each bride opts for. If a simple blow-dry is chosen, 45 minutes should suffice so allow yourself an hour for hair on the big day, or if you are having a more complicated up do or intricate style you need to allow for at least 2 hours, particularly if the style will require setting first. A trial run is essential to ensure your style will stay in place throughout your big day and that you are comfortable wearing it for so long. You can also use your trial to test how long you need to allow for your hair on the day of your wedding.
