Can you tell us a little more about you and your styling background?

I’ve been in the profession for about seven years. Since childhood I loved doing dolls’ hair and then my friends’ hair. Also loved knitting. That is why my fingers are very strong now, which came in handy in braiding. 

I didn’t find my style of doing hair all at once. 

Over time, I learned to listen to myself and do what I like and not do what others expect from me. That’s how I found my own style. And then there were the customers themselves, who shared with me my vision. 

What bridal trends are you loving right now? 

I like two aspects of braiding. Ease and simplicity, or the opposite of perfectly styled, sleek and defined lines of braids. 

One way or the other, the pearl accessories, that I love so much, fit in perfectly. I don’t think they will ever go out of style. At least in bridal fashion for sure.

What new trends can we look forward to?

The trend for classic, exuberant wedding hairstyles is gradually disappearing. It’s being replaced by something more succinct, classy and calm. 

How do you stay inspired?

I do what I love. I love my work and I get inspired by it.  As a bonus I get positive feedback from my clients, which is incredibly empowering. 

What advice would you give to a bridal hairstylist just getting started?

Theory without practice is a backpack full of swimming books behind a drowning man.

You have to practice in order to succeed.

Best advice to a bride regarding her hairstyle?

Before you go to a stylist, prepare 2-3 pictures of the hairstyles you like. This will help the stylist determine what to do. 

Listen to his advice. He will make recommendations based on your individual features.

And do not be afraid to give your opinion if you do not like something.

What is the one product/tool you can not live without?

Hairdryer

Best advice you have ever been given in the hair industry? 

Boundaries exist only in your head. 

What do you love to do outside of work? 

Spending time with family and friends.

Guilty pleasures? 

Smoking hookah.

PRO TIP from @hairby.brittany 💡 {Let’s talk Face Facing}

There’s is so much involved in the perfect style selection. Firstly choosing a style that makes you feel the most beautiful YOU, and secondly ensuring that the style chosen is workable within the canvas we have to work with. Of course we can add extensions for fullness etc., but some things like face framing have a large impact on the overall finish of your style. The length, the texture & thickness of your face framing will depict the overall style you will be able to achieve. 

Be sure to have a conversation with your stylist in the lead up to your wedding or event to ensure that your canvas is prepared perfectly to work with your styling goals 🤍
