Red Carpet season is here! 🏆
I have had such an exciting start to the week with two red carpet days, I remember when I first started doing hair, I would be dreaming of working at events like this with such incredible clients.
People would laugh at me and tell me it wasn’t possible, due to growing up in a small town and training in a small salon. I refused to accept it wasn’t possible, and continued working hard to refine my skills and attract my dream clients and see my work on the red carpet and in the press.
Fast forward to Sunday, I worked with Love Island S12 winner Toni Laites for the second time this year styling her hair for the BAFTA’s, after spending the morning getting Gogglebox & Tik Tok star, and regular event client of mine Lisa Baggs ready too.
Monday, I had my lovely Love Island S7 client Sharon Gaffka back in my chair styling her hair in a wet look for the Kings Trust awards.
Still to this day, every booking feels like a pinch me moment seeing my looks on the red carpet and I am eternally grateful for each opportunity I get.
How did I get these opportunities? By not giving up, and believing it was possible. It started by observing the looks that were current and trending, and making sure I could execute these styles confidently.
I started showcasing these styles on my social media platforms as my portfolio, showcasing the work I can do, growing my socials to attract my dream clients. I also mastered these techniques and time saving skills to ensure I could create a polished look in a timely fashion.
Ideally, I like at least 1.5-2 hours for a red carpet appointment, but on busy days factoring in travel, hotel check ins, any unforeseen hold ups, that isn’t always possible. I only had 45 minutes to create an up-do on one client this weekend; but I knew that I had the ability to make that happen.
The same can apply for any event booking, especially weddings!
In my masterclasses, you will find the techniques and time saving hacks I have learned over the years so you too can do the same.
If it is your dream to work with celebrity clients and see your work on the red carpet, or be booked working weekends only around your children doing wedding bookings, I can help you get closer to your goal by mastering the most sought after looks so you can go into red carpet, event and wedding season with confidence, skill and clarity.
I followed the same methods used in my Pammy Up do for Toni, the sleek bun for Lisa, and the wet look for Sharon, adapting the curl pattern and finish ever so slightly to suit the clients hair and desired outcome, the prep work and foundation is all the same.
Off the back of these bookings, I have already secured another 4 big wedding bookings, prom hairstyle appointments and Ascot bookings for the races, alongside another 3 new exciting celebrity bookings!
By learning these techniques now and showcasing them on your portfolio and platforms, you too could be maximising the influx of summer event hairstyling bookings, whether that be for race days, prom, weddings or even the next red carpet event if that is your dream too.

Who’s going to be joining me in a summer of exciting hair glams?! 🫶🏻
