Anna Sorbie How To Choose The Perfect Bridal Style: Bridal Hair And Beauty Expert, Anna Sorbie, Reveals The Secrets To Finding Your Perfect Wedding Hairstyle
Face facts Face shape plays a huge part in determining the styles that suit you. If a bride with a particularly round face shape wanted to wear her hair in an up-do I would recommend a half-up, half-down style, to help slim and elongate the face. A good bridal hairstylist will know exactly which styles suit and flatter your face shape.

Gibson Forbes, offers advice on how to effectively deal with unhappy customers and ensuring your staff follows the same procedure.
Listen and Don’t Interrupt It's important when a client complains to listen to the problem and what they have to say, without interruptions. Often when people complain they have worked themselves up to do so, so make sure they can vent their anger or annoyance without being cut off mid sentence. Constructive criticism is all part of running a business, so listening is essential; the complainant may have a case and it could potentially be something you can work on in the future, to benefit your business.
Understanding Is Key After a complaint has been made, it's important to show empathy and then clarify what the problem is with the
