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

My name is Natalie and I have been a cosmetologist for over 11 years but decided to transition over to bridal hairstyling about 5 years ago. My business, Bridal by Natalie, was started in the middle of 2020! 

I have educated with Modern Salon for Moroccanoil at their Academy in New York City. In August 2019, my style landed the cover of Modern Salon magazine, which was an incredible honor!

What bridal trends are you loving right now? 

Curly hair upstyling/natural texture, perky ponies, and low romantic updos!

What new trends can we look forward to?

Higher updos are coming back. Glam waves and sleeker styles are majorly trending right now!

How do you stay inspired?

My hairstylist friends on Instagram keep me inspired by their hustle and incredible work and talent!

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

Practice everyday, do styled shoots for your portfolio, stay focused on your goals, and remain patient because your hard work will pay off!

Best advice to a bride regarding her hairstyle?

I would say to be realistic about what can be achieved with your hair type. Stay mostly within your comfort zone and choose a style that best suits you and your personality! 

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

All of my curling iron marcels from hot tools!

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

To just simply keep showing up as your true authentic self. 

What do you love to do outside of work? 

I love to spend time with my family (husband and 3 sons!) and of course indulge in some self care!

Guilty pleasures? 

Sweets!! Particularly ice cream.

Who doesn’t love an easy step-by-step of a cascading ponytail from @ulyana.aster @ulyana.aster | 

Such a great idea to create such beautiful texture when you are pressed for time. 
Do you agree?
