This topic has been heavy on my heart for years. Weekend after weekend we style bridal parties and receive requests for down-styles from folks who are either unfamiliar with the humid climate in Virginia or who are simply not grasping what wet heat plus 10 hours of activity can do to their hair. A talented stylist with a well-packed kit can do a lot of incredible things to hair, but we are not magicians.

We cannot restate this enough:

➡️ ”More hairspray” does not “make it stay” - in fact, it weighs your hair down and makes it sticky & frizzy

➡️ A “soft curl” become a nearly straight stringy mess within hours on an 89-degree, 85%-humidity day

➡️ Your hair would look even more lovely up and off your neck than it would down and stuck to your sweaty back at 6pm

…and so much more!

We want your hair to be just as stunning at 9am as it is while you dance it out at 9pm!

And that’s where booking artists who won’t just nod and say “sure!” is so important. We’ll advise you on how we expect your type, length, volume, and style of hair to act, we’ll show up day-of with the weather forecast memorized, we’ll have an arsenal of tried & true AND trendy styles on-hand, and we’ll consider all aspects of your day (like timing, weather, indoor/outdoor nature of your venue, neckline of your dress, etc) to make sure you’re looking and feeling your best!

Fellow artists, please feel free to share if this resonates with you & your clients!
