HAIR STYLIST:       BRIDAL HAIR BY RHIAN

Tell us about yourself and what you do.

I'm a bridal hairstylist with fourteen years of experience in the hair industry. Excited to become a bride myself in October 2024! 

What inspired you to be involved in this campaign shoot?

I was passionate about the purpose behind the campaign shoot and I take great joy in creating hairstyles that empower women to embrace the best version of themselves. Collaborating with other skilled suppliers who also share the same dedication, I just knew it would be the most incredible campaign shoot to be involved in! 

What is your favourite thing about working in the wedding industry?

I love hearing all about the Brides wedding plans during their bridal trial and then seeing it all come together on their wedding day is so special. Being surrounded by love and happiness on such a special occasion is truly heartwarming.

What is your proudest achievement?

Winning the South West Wedding Awards 2023, which is based solely on my Brides reviews. I put my heart and sole into my business, so winning this award definitely showed that all the hard work paid off!

Which women inspire you the most and why?

My Mum and my Nan inspire me the most because of their strength, kindness and continued support. Their ability to overcome challenges and their caring nature has shaped the person who I am today. Their love, sacrifices and wisdom are constant sources of motivation and guidance in my life.

This year’s International Women’s Day 2024 theme is #InspireInclusion. What does this mean to you?

The theme #InspireInclusion for International Women's Day 2024 holds significance for me, as it emphasises creating a supportive environment where every woman, regardless of their background or identity, feels acknowledged and valued.
