Some brides arrive with a clear vision and some arrive with a feeling. The ones with a feeling are harder and usually produce the best results, because a feeling is honest and a vision is often borrowed.
When a bride says "I want to look like myself," she is telling me something specific. She is afraid of the photograph where she does not recognize the person. That fear is well founded: heavy volume, dramatic face-framing, and unfamiliar color all create that effect. The cure is not minimal hair, it is familiar hair done at its best.
When a bride says "I want to look like a bride," she is telling me she wants the day to feel like an occasion. That is a legitimate brief and it usually means more structure, more polish, and a shape that reads as deliberate.
When a bride says "I don't want to look like I tried," which is the most common thing I hear, she is describing effortlessness. That is the hardest brief in the profession, because effortlessness requires more work than effort. It means every pin is invisible, every section is clean, and nothing looks placed.
My job in the first ten minutes of a preview is to translate the feeling into three technical decisions: height, finish, and how much comes forward at the face. Everything else follows.
The Bride Experience is $1,000 including the preview, and details are on the investment page. Inquire and tell me the feeling, not the photo.
