What made you decide
to expand your services to the field of Bridal
hair?
I have in fact been doing bridal hair for
several years, as many of my regular and celebrity
clients have ultimately become brides! I wouldn't
say that I have actively expanded my services
in this field but as my regular clients love
my work, have confidence in my abilities and
share such a great relationship with me, its
only natural that I would be their first choice
to make them look stunningly gorgeous on the
most special day of their lives.
How important is
the hairstyle in achieving that wow factor
for the bride on her big day?
I would say that the hair design is of paramount
importance for the bride to look stunning
on the biggest day of her life, when ALL eyes
will be on her! I believe in the "Total
Look" and without a fantastic hairstyle,
even the best makeup artist or the most wonderful
outfit wont give you that "WOW factor"
that all brides seek. For the wedding ceremony,
the bridal hairstyle has to have the correct
height for the veil to drape beautifully over
her head and compliment her beautiful and
traditional outfit, whereas for the reception,
the hairstyle can be more, chic, sexy and
daring.

How soon should
a bride get in touch with you once she has
decided to get married?
As soon as the word is out! YES! I would want
her to book a consultation with me as soon
as possible so that I can get to know her
and start executing the perfect plan that
coordinates her hair, outfit and makeup.
Allowing for ample time between our first
meeting and her wedding will enable me to
see whether she needs to grow her hair, shape
it, colour it or undergo treatments to make
it look more healthy & shiny, so the perfect
look can be accomplished in time for her big
day. As with many things in life, ample planning
produces stunning results and executing great
hairstyles are no exception.
You have pioneered the concept of "Total
Look" which has defined the image of
countless celebrities. What implications does
this have for brides that come to you?
The Total Look is something that applies to
all my clients, not just celebrities and it
comes into play right from the moment that
a bride comes to me for a trial: It involves
assessing her as a person, gauging her personality
and individual style and then creating a fantastic
"Total Look" for her. This includes
deciding on a hairstyle for her, based on
her face, shape, face structure and personality
as well as the type of wedding function it
is required for, but also includes advice
on choosing the perfect outfit, make up and
jewelry and showing her how these should be
worn in the most flattering manner.
