Q & A ~ Jan 2010

January 31st, 2010
1. How did you first get involved in weddings?

My father came here from Morocco in the 60’s where he opened up 2 salons. He brought over his siblings, and since my siblings and I have entered the industry. Now we are 15 people
in the hair business (uncles, aunt, cousins & siblings). We all love what we do.

 

2. What is your favorite aspect of a wedding?

Coordinating the brides image. Using color, cutting, extensions, all this leading to thier sense of style with the updos!
 Also working with their facial features and dress style. It’s useful to get a visual as
we work through the details of each individual person.

 

3. How do you help a bride who is clueless (like me) to find her “style” or
“theme”?

It begins with the dress. From there we work out the sense of style based on the dress and the feel of the wedding.
Then the facial features (finding balance of the hair style in relation to the face
shape), and to see what they prefer in their hair.
This will also depend on the jewlery, viel, headpiece (whether it being a flower,
accessory, tiara, headband, headcomb).
It all goes comes together at the trial runs. I take photos and make detailed notes so
that the day of we recap on everything and from there it flows beautifully.

 

4. One piece of advice when it comes to your services

Plan ahead! With my hair services I get many requests well advance (1-2 years ahead). Plan well,
schedule the trial runs, come in for color, cuts and maintnance leading up to the
wedding. Sometimes extensions and hair fillers (for fullness and stability) can be very
useful!

5. One piece of advice for the bride about her wedding day!

Step back, by yourself, take it all in for just a moment (if asked where your going, make it to the restroom and on your way back just take your time)….becasue it will be over
in a flash. Cherish the hard work…that’s what I did and am so happy I did !
