A consultation is important before the actual appointment. It should ideally take place 8 weeks before the big day. During the consultation, we discuss about the wedding hairstyle required. Things to consider are hair type, hair volume, facial features, the dress and the theme of the wedding. Conditioning treatments may also be needed for the bride's hair.

The Bridesmaids

A consultation is vital. If the bride has got a theme then I need to see the bridesmaids. My time of arrival on the wedding day is determined by the hairstyles requested and the number of people who need their hair styled. Usually if there is a wedding theme we discuss what would be the most suitable hairstyle after considering individual facial features, height, dress code etc. I will work together with everyone during the consultation to decide what will make the bride most comfortable and happy. After consultation, dates for trials are decided. Trials are important to allow me to get used to the bride's hair. During the trials it is important that the bride brings the tiara and any other hair accessories to be used on the wedding day.

Prices for Bridal Hair

During the consultation a decision is made on price. The price depends on the style chosen but prices are generally as below. Trials: £15 per hour. Price on the day : From £35 for brides and from £25 for bridesmaids.

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions provide instant volume, length, and colour. They provide a self enhancing experience and will improve the clients' image. Hair extensions come in three main types. Synthetic hair, fibre and human hair. Extensions give instant volume and length but the texture and look totally changes depending on the type of extensions chosen. They come in a range of colours. This gives the client a different hair colour without using chemicals.

Synthetic extensions

As the word suggests these are not real hair. They are fantastic for braiding. These can be washed, brushed and blow dried using very low heat but cannot be straightened as they will melt if exposed to high temperatures. Climatic temperatures don't affect synthetic extensions. They are also cheaper.

Fibre extensions

These are a type of fibre that are slightly resistant to heat from hair straighteners and tongs up to a certain degree of temperature. Fibre extensions offer a good introduction to hair extensions when a client is not yet ready for human hair extensions. They are easier to manage and blend in better with one`s own hair than synthetic hair does. They last longer than synthetic hair and styling them is more versatile as they give an option of heat styling.

Human Hair extensions

These are 100% human hair. They are excellent for creating volume, texture, length and colour effects and are even better for styling. They blend well with ones own hair and if done professionally are undetectable. They are relatively expensive but last for 3 months if well maintained.

Application of Hair Extensions

I will attach the hair extensions to the hair using one of the 3 following techniques. Each method is priced differently.

1) Braid method

Extensions are attached to the hair by weaving three sections of hair to create a braid. The finished look results in multiple strands of braids on the whole head. A few strands of extensions can be fully braided or half braided to leave hair free and hence allowing more styling to the ends of the hair. It lasts for a maximum of 3 months.

2) Weave method

Hair is plaited using the scalp plait method (cornrows) and then the hair extensions are sewn onto the plaited hair using a special hair thread. This lasts for 1 month.

3) Strand method

Extensions are attached to the hair strand by strand using a special hair bond. ( small strands of hair extensions are fused with a few strands of the clients` hair using a special hair bond that seals the hair together). This allows the clients` hair to blend completely with the extensions. This method is great for clients who are very committed to hair extensions because this style lasts longer (maximum 3 months).
