There’s SO much inspiration, ideas, opinions and factors out there that to put it simply navigating your ideal hairstyle can be daunting. Let’s say one thing first there is NO “perfect” hairstyle. I do believe however there are ideal hairstyles for each individual depending on several factors. Think of it as a Venn diagram and in the center is your ideal look or looks. There could be a few that fit the bill. Instead of stressing or spiraling let’s look a few simple factors when narrowing down the options.

Securing Your Veil So It Doesn't Fly Away

Veils tend to go hand in hand with the wedding industry because when else are you going to wear one realistically?

However if veils are your jam there are a few steps to take to ensure that veil stays where it’s placed and does go with a gust of wind. While it may be a comical video it’s also a huge concern for many clients. Don’t worry - we have just what you need.

Let's Talk : Do I NEED Hair Extensions

There’s nothing wrong with trying a style first without extensions but if it’s not as full, long, detailed or dimensional as the photo or what you’d like don’t automatically blame the stylist. Discuss your options. I think of designing a hairstyle as a collaborative effort as we navigate from point A to point B. Not everyone is going to take the same route & some routes aren’t made for you. That’s ok! Have the discussion to see what route will get you where you want to go.

Becky & Drew said “I do” on a hot, steamy July day in Northern Virginia having their magical vows at Riverside at the Potomac.

And I am so thankful to have been a part of this super special day.
