Ruslan, where do you need to start working with a client who is preparing for the wedding?
First of all, you need to find out from the client what she represents her hairstyle. Let it be indistinct, but it is necessary that the future bride says what she likes, because she will live this important day with this hairstyle and she should like it and be comfortable. Because “I don’t know myself” is the same as “I don’t want anything”. If the client finds it difficult to articulate her desires, you can help her with pictures (don't be afraid to show pictures!), Leaf through fashion magazines, discuss what she likes and dislikes. And in the end, to hear from the client the words that will help you to fulfill the "main hairstyle of her life."
It is also very important to find out where the wedding will take place, what, as it is fashionable to say now, the format of the event. Now more and more often you are faced with a situation when a wedding is planned in the open air or young people intend to immediately go on a trip. Therefore, it is imperative to know where and how everything will happen and for how long. I consider it necessary to "rehearse" the so-called wedding hairstyle. Quite often, the client has no experience of "wearing" hairstyles, and what can we say about the wedding one … Even if the client has objections to the "rehearsal": "Oh, don't, let's get on the spot somehow!" … If the reason for the refusal is financial, say that this is included in the cost of the service.
So what's next? What does your experience say?
Now a lot of attention is paid to texture, a huge number of tools have appeared that help to diversify it - tongs, irons, various options for wrapping. Lush, shaggy broken curls, curls are in fashion. If we talk about hair color, then the color should be beautiful, interesting and well-groomed. Obviously, today's bridal hairstyle is different from the 1963 or 2003 hairstyle.
Special styling preparations help to give a hairstyle with special chic: waxes with a diamond shine give the hair a shine that goes well with the shine of a satin dress, or a strong hold foam that allows you to keep large curls and curls for a long time, leaving part of the hair loose. Now in evening hairstyles it is fashionable to leave part of the hair loose.
What's new in working with long hair?

Particular attention should be paid to fixing the hairstyle in order to preserve it for the whole day, and maybe for a longer time … I had such a case: a client got married in the summer, the newlyweds went to the forest, where a tent was pitched in a clearing, the guests were met by gypsies, and one of the entertainment was hot air balloon rides. But that's not all … After the plein air, the guests moved to the restaurant in the evening, where the celebration continued. It is clear that I paid special attention to fixing the hairstyle. I highly recommend using hairpieces to create your wedding hairstyle. It is very effective and convenient. You can choose a tone-on-tone hairpiece or use bold colors. Also add volume, perform some interesting elements. A wedding is an event where it is appropriate. There is no need to be afraid of using hairpieces - this speaks of the professionalism of the master, that at the right time,in the right place he used hairpieces.
