Bridal Hair Quote by Neil Barton of Neil Barton Hairdressing

1940 style hair

It’s one of the most important days of your life so of course you want your hair to look its absolute best.

I recommend the Goldwell Rich Repair 60 second treatment, which will add essential minerals, building strength and adding gloss to your hair. Argan Oil is also great for de-frizzing and smoothing hair. Ideally, you should start using these products a few months before your wedding day. Combine these products with regular hair trims to achieve healthy and shiny hair for your big day.
