My Process

Intense. Passionate. Opinionated. Dedicated. Committed. Responsible.

As a wedding hair stylist, I am often asked how I come up with the unique hairstyles that I create for my clients. The truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Every client is different, and every wedding is unique. However, there are some general steps that I take when designing a bride's hair style.


First, I start by discussing the overall theme or feel of the wedding with the bride. This helps me to get an idea of her personal style and the overall tone she wants to set for her big day. From there, I begin to sketch out some ideas. I typically create multiple sketches for each client, so that she can choose the one that best suits her vision.

Once a sketch is chosen, I then begin to select the specific hair products and accessories that will be used to create the look. This is where my experience and knowledge of hair products comes in handy. I know which products will hold up under the hot lights of a wedding day, and which ones will create the perfect amount of volume or texture.


Finally, I put it all together on the big day. Wedding hair style design is all about creating a look that is both beautiful and unique. I take pride in being able to create a style that perfectly complements each bride's individual features. Whether it's a sleek updo or romantic curls, I always work to create a look that the bride will love.

Wedding hair is an important part of the overall look of a bride on her big day. While some brides opt to do their own hair, others choose to hire a professional wedding hair stylist. If you're considering hiring a wedding hair stylist, it's important to understand the design process they use to create unique and beautiful styles.

At its core, the wedding hair stylist design process I follow is all about understanding the individual bride and her desired look for the big day. First, a good wedding hair stylist will take the time to discuss the overall theme or feel of the wedding with the bride. This helps to get an idea of her personal style and the tone she wants to set for her big day.
