N V Hair

  • Posted on August 5, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Sometimes we struggle to find a good hairdresser, I have known hairdressers in the past who just want to clone you with the current trends rather than listening to what you as a client wants.

I am very lucky to have found a hairdresser who listens to my requirements but is also on hand to advise.

I have been going to Gari for the past couple of years and in that time he has also become a very dear friend.

Recently whilst participating in a charity fashion show with Gari I actually had the pleasure of learning the extent of his experience as he is not one to brag about his past.

At the very start of his career Gari trained as the London College of Fashion and passed with distinction.

He then went on to work for Sanrizz in Knightsbridge, Vidal Sasoon in Covent Garden, Anton Michael in Covent Garden, and Paul Nath Hair in Shaftsbury Avenue.

Whilst at Paul Nath he started freelancing as a session stylist working for magazines including Clubland, Looks, Vogue, Cosmopolitan & FHM.

He has also done the hair for artists pop videos such as the Spice Girls, Robbie Williams, Five as well as creating hairstyles for movies such as “Spice World the movie”, channel 4 short film “Blue Moon” and an independent film “Sorted”.

He was also the personal stylist for Italian model/singer Lorenz for 2 years.

As if the above isn’t enough for his personal achievement he has also produced, directed and he choreographed several charity fashion shows.

He came 3rd in the country for K.M.S young stars of tomorrow in 1991, he has also come 4th in the country for a national campaign for GHD.

These day’s one of Gari specialities is bridal hair and for those who would prefer to have the stress taken out of their big day by having their hairdresser come too them on the morning of their special occasion to assist the bridal party he is more than happy to come to your home or venue to help you elevate some of the pressure.

I am sure that you will agree that Gari has achieved a fantastic portfolio of experience in his career, and I am pleased to say that he has now settled in his salon NV Hair Co, which is based at 53 High Street Thames Ditton, Surrey.

So if you would like to have your hair done by a professional without the over priced professional charges please contact Gari on 0208 398 3937 or email nvhairco@googlemail.com, you may also wish to visit his website www.nvhairco.com

Bridesmaids

  • Posted on July 13, 2010 at 2:24 pm

Ever since she was a little girl every bride to be has dreamed of her wedding day to perfection. Now that dream has become a reality there are extra people to consider who where not visualised in that initial dream.

Who shall she choose to be the bridesmaids? The chief bridesmaid will play a leading role in assisting the bride throughout the preparations. This person needs to be someone that she can rely on, who can be honest with her and who is there to support the bride when stressful emotions start to appear.

Once you have decided who and how many bridesmaids you will have the next big decision will be what are they going to wear?

This unfortunately can be a testing time of friendship. Do you choose the outfit for them and just expect them to like it or do you offer them a choice?

You may however wish to consider the fact that usually no two figures are the same and therefore one style of dress may not suit everyone.

The main factor would have to be that your entourage feel comfortable in what they wear, otherwise there discomfort will appear in their faces throughout your photographs.

Once the decision has been made, check out our wonderful collection of tiaras, headpieces and jewellery sets that will add the finishing touches to their gowns.
