THE POWER PONY!

I’d love a funky on-trend ponytail for my wedding day. I’m worried my hair is too fine. Can anyone achieve this look?

I absolutely love creating ponytails, particularly my glam wave versions! They are such a beautiful, modern style that can be achieved on most hair lengths and suit every hair colour. I love adding shine spray to make them glisten as they swoosh down the aisle! If your hair is naturally quite fine in texture, then of course it’s still possible for you to have the power pony! With hair, most styles are achievable, it may just be that a little helping hand is needed to create the final, desired look. For the pony, it’s the volume created that gives that real WOW factor, so with finer hair, we’d just need to discuss the use of hair extensions to achieve this. Anything is possible, so if you really love a style but aren’t sure if your hair is suitable, speak to your bridal hair stylist who will discuss all options for you to make your dream wedding hair a reality.

Golden Glow

I’m looking to pamper myself before the big day, what treatment would best be suited to me?

I’d recommend a good antiaging facial for that red carpet glow. At Glass House Retreat, I recommend the O2 Lift facial as it provides an amazing sheen to the skin ready for the big day! This particular facial starts with a peel that’s applied to the face and uses oxygen, plantderived stem cells, peptides and specially concentrated enzymatic botanicals to remove any dead cells.

Talk to your skin practitioner and tell them you want gorgeous luminous skin that feels as healthy as it is radiant - or come and visit me!
