With over 12 years of experience in film, TV, and theatre, I’ll guide you through techniques both classic and cutting-edge, so you can expand your creative horizons and offer your clients the very best.

Modern Bridal Hairstyles: Elegance with a Twist

Today’s brides are looking for hairstyles that combine timeless elegance with a modern edge. Whether it’s a soft, romantic updo or a chic, textured wave, the key is to create a look that not only complements the bride’s personal style but also stands up to a long day of celebration.

In my hairstyling education sessions, you’ll learn how to master:

• Romantic Updos: From soft chignons to loose, braided styles, I’ll show you how to create modern updos that are elegant yet effortless, perfect for today’s brides.

• Textured Waves: Learn how to create those perfect beachy waves or voluminous, soft curls that are currently trending with bridal parties. I’ll also teach you tricks for making sure the style lasts all day and through the evening.

• Accessories: The right accessories can elevate a bridal hairstyle from beautiful to breathtaking. I’ll guide you through incorporating veils, combs, and headpieces seamlessly into your styles.

Mastering Hairstyles for Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids are a crucial part of the bridal party, and their hairstyles need to complement both the bride’s look and their own unique personalities. In my sessions, you’ll learn how to:

• Create Cohesive Yet Individual Looks: I’ll show you how to design hairstyles that harmonise with the bridal style while allowing each bridesmaid’s individuality to shine through.

• Quick and Efficient Styling: When you’re styling an entire bridal party, time is of the essence. I’ll teach you time-saving techniques that still result in flawless styles, so you can work efficiently without compromising on quality.

Old-School Techniques for Period Styling

Hairstyling for period looks requires precision and a deep understanding of historical trends. Whether you’re working on a photoshoot, film set, or a themed wedding, knowing how to recreate authentic vintage styles is a valuable skill. My Professional Artist Education sessions will help you perfect:

• Retro Waves and Pin Curls: From glamorous 1920s finger waves to 1950s pin curls, you’ll learn how to bring vintage hairstyles to life with accuracy and flair.

• Classic Updos: Whether it’s a Victorian-inspired twist or a voluminous bouffant from the 1960s, I’ll guide you through the techniques to create flawless period updos that transport your clients back in time.

• Working with Hair Pieces: Many period styles require the use of hairpieces or padding for added volume and structure. I’ll show you how to incorporate these seamlessly into your styling.

Edgy Editorial Hairstyles: Push Boundaries and Get Creative

In the world of fashion and editorial shoots, hair needs to make a statement. This is where your creativity can really shine, as you experiment with bold, daring looks that push the boundaries of traditional hairstyling. In my training, you’ll learn how to:

• Create Sculptural Hairstyles: Learn how to build hairstyles with strong, bold shapes that command attention on set or on the runway.

• Incorporate Texture and Movement: From messy, tousled looks to sleek, wet-effect styles, I’ll show you how to use texture to add depth and intrigue to your editorial hairstyles.

• Accessorising for Impact: In editorial work, accessories can transform a hairstyle into a work of art. I’ll teach you how to use props, jewellery, and unconventional materials to elevate your looks.
