My Journey as a Bridal Hair Artist
I began my career working in some of Surrey and London’s leading salons before discovering my true passion — bridal hairstyling. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of styling hundreds of brides, bridesmaids and mums across Surrey’s most loved wedding venues.
