In an exclusive interview, Dionne shares with VoiceOfHair.com some advice for suggestions for brides that are planning to tie the knot! 

 What advice do you have for brides to find a great hairstylist for their wedding?

I would say to use social media places like Instagram and Facebook are great and also wedding directories are always a good place to seek out a hair stylist. Look for stylists that have a strong website too, as you can get to see more and it will help you understand their level of professionalism.

What are the most classic bridal hairstyles (that can stand the test of time)?

A bun, chignon and half up – half down; these styles are going no where and always seem to be winner with brides. You can add and create different elements of these styles to make it more personalized.

Under what conditions should a bride wear her hair up or down?

It really depends on the type of hair you have: relaxed or natural hair, how its styled, and your wedding dress. For example, if a bride has natural hair and decides to straighten it and wear it out for the wedding, it is likely that it will sweat out by the end of the day. If the dress is an off the shoulder dress, hair down or up can work. But if the dress has neck detail she should opt for the hair being styled up. Sounds complicated but there is so much to consider when getting it right and thats way consultations are important.

What kind of budget for her hair should a bride have, in order to command a show stopping bridal look?

I would say prices can range from $300+ if hair extensions are being added.

What are good hair style options for natural hair brides, who want to avoid heat?

Hair up is always a great option, as it will last the entire day and you don’t have to worry about the hair texture changing or shrinkage, as the day goes on.

Do you have any any other hair tips for brides on their special day?

Create a moodboard for your stylist on looks that you like, look at other brides that may look similar to you or have the same face shape and see what works for them, then you can have a idea of what works for you and then put a spin on it and personalize it.
