We're talking wedding hair!
So for todays feature I spoke to the lovely ReeRee Rocket from Rockalily Cuts!
Rockalily Cuts is in Hoxton, East London and it opened in May 2012. We specialise in alternative, vintage and rockabilly hair but we do mainstream hair too! Anything from a basic trim and blow dry, to lavender victory rolls. Half of our clients are men, and we don't only do bridal hair, but grooms' hair too! It's fun to see gents getting in on the action too.
What should brides to be/ grooms to be, look for in wedding hair?
What should brides to be/ grooms to be, look for in wedding hair?
Some brides want to look completely different on their wedding day, whereas some want to feel very much like themselves. The beauty of it is that it's completely up to you!
Should BTB & GTB bring in photos of what they like?
We usually advise collecting some photos of hairstyles that inspire them, but to understand that everyone's hair is different. It won't be possible to completely replicate a hairstyle from a photo, when the model has shorter wavy hair and the bride has long and fine hair. We will always advise hairstyles based on your wedding, your hair and your tastes.
Should using a professional stylist be important?
I don't think it is important for everyone to have a professional hairstylist. Some people, with very simple hair needs may prefer to just do it themselves, and that's ok! But if you do want a hairstylist to do it, the bonus of a professional is that they understand what is needed to make your hair look good for the length of the whole day.
Any tips for telling your hairdresser you love/hate your hair trial?
We understand how personal hair is! It isn't personal if the bride wants to try something else. However it does get frustrating if the client cannot explain why they don't like the style. Do you like hair on your face or off? With height and body or more sleek? Do you want it to be fixed/solid, or more fluid? Do you like your parting on a certain side? Giving specific feedback means that you can work your way to your own perfect do.
Should a trial include only one hairstyle or should you be offered the option of trying more than one?
This really depends on the arrangement you've set up with your hairdresser. This is a good question to ask when you're booking your session in.
Should a hairstylist offer tips & information on a hairstyle, if they know it won't suit a client?
I think so, yes. However, the advice should only be given if the client is unhappy. I'd never want to tell a bride that I thought her hair didn't suit her, when she feels amazing. It's all about how we feel in our own hair. Who cares what anyone else thinks?!
How should you pick a hairstylist? Is it okay to ask for a portfolio?
Location, price, availability and quality of work are all things to consider when looking for a hairstylist. The personality of the stylist is a big factor too - you don't want to spend some of your wedding day with someone you don't like!
