Winner of The Hitched Wedding Business awards 2022💫🥂

Winning an Award with

Hitched Wedding Suppliers


As a hair stylist supplier in the wedding industry, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of being recognised for your hard work and dedication. Winning the title of “Best Hair Stylist Supplier” is a dream come true for many in the industry, and it’s a testament to the quality of work and level of service that they provide. Whether you specialise in bridal updos, hair extensions, or hair accessories, being recognized as the best in your field is a huge accomplishment. It means that your clients trust you to make their special day even more memorable, and that other professionals in the industry recognise your talent and expertise.

The Awards and the Nomination Process

The wedding industry is highly competitive, and being nominated for an award is a great way to stand out from the crowd. There are many awards ceremonies throughout the year, but the Hitched Wedding Suppliers Awards are one of the most prestigious. To be eligible for nomination, suppliers must have a listing on the Hitched website and have received many reviews from satisfied customers.

Once the nominations are announced, the judging panel reviews each nominee’s profile, website, and customer feedback to determine the finalists.

The Team Effort in Winning the Award

Winning an award is not just about individual talent, but also about teamwork. Working hard to ensure that every client who came to me for their wedding hair needs received the best possible service. From the initial consultation to the final styling on the big day, i can made sure that every detail was perfect.

I also made sure to ask our clients for feedback after their wedding day. This allowed me to continually improve my services and ensure that we were always providing the best possible experience for our clients.

The Importance of Customer Feedback

Customer feedback is crucial in the wedding industry, and it played a significant role in my success in winning the award. I made sure to ask my clients for feedback after their wedding day and to use that feedback to make improvements to my services.

I also encouraged clients to leave reviews on the Hitched website, which helped to boost my profile and increase my chances of being nominated for an award. Positive reviews from satisfied customers are one of the best forms of marketing.

The Impact of Winning the Award

Winning the title of “Best Hair Stylist Supplier” had a significant impact on my business. It gave me a huge boost in credibility and helped to attract even more clients to my services. I am now recognised as one of the top suppliers in the industry.

It was great to be recognised for all of our hard work and dedication, and it gave me a renewed sense of purpose and motivation to continue providing the best possible service to my clients.

This was a lovely surprise today to find out my business received recognition for being one of the most recommended and best valued vendors by the couples of Hitched . Thank you so much 😊

PRESS RELEASE 💫

Himalayan Baths with essential oils

Himalayan Baths with essential oils

Found near the Himalayan foothills in a region of Pakistan, pink Himalayan salt is minimally processed and gets its characteristic rosy hue from a wide range of trace minerals, including magnesium and potassium. What’s more, Himalayan salt can improve your skin or replenish you after a bout of illness.

Himalayan salt is particularly beneficial for the adrenal glands which sit above our kidneys and are responsible for the production of a variety of different hormones. The trace minerals act as catalysts for chemical reactions that happen within the body, including those associated with the adrenal glands.

Create your own salt room

Or visit a halotherapy salt room.

Spas are now offering salt rooms ( when they re open !) they look like salt caves where you can relax in them, this also helps people with lung conditions and asthma. I can’t wait to visit one of these rooms one day soon…

Salt is a natural antibiotic, anti-fungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory product. When inhaled, salt can help to keep in check symptoms of various skin disorders such as psoriasis or dermatitis. It also has a very positive impact on respiratory system disorders including asthma, sinusitis, smoker’s cough or bronchitis.

Soothes sore throats – all you need is a cup of warm water and half a teaspoon of salts mix well and gargle away ! It will relieve the pain of a sore throat .

Body scrubs

Making your homemade body scrub is easy with Himalayan salt, mix well with your favourite base oil like almond oil, coconut oil or even olive oil and add a few drops of your essential oil for a relaxing scent and scrub away all the dead skin cells, remember to wash it all off with warm water and feel how different your skin can be after !

Magnesium levels

Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein,

Clary Sage Oil

Aromatherapists and related alternative health practitioners often use clary sage as an essential oil in their treatments, and supporters believe it has many health benefits.

People may use the oil for one or more of its potential properties, including:

• antidepressants effects

• anti-inflammatory effects

• improved digestion

• antibacterial effects

• stress relief

• improved circulation

Lavender oil

This oil can benefit the skin in a number of ways. It has the ability to rid of acne, help lighten skin, and reduce wrinkles. It can even be used to treat other things, like hair health and digestion issues but most of all it helps with relaxation and stress levels.

So, the next time you prepare your bath, be sure to add in all these to enjoy your Himalayan Bath experience !

Staying safe and hygienic at work

As all make up artists and the beauty industry are allowed back to work now it is now time to really prep my make up kit and hairdressing kit so it is Covid safe and hygienically clean for each client I will also be wearing PPE while at work . It is my upmost importance to make each client feel comfortable and safe when they book with me.

Each client I work on for make up will have a set of make up brushes which will be sprayed clean using my The Pro Hygiene Sanitiser spray and used only on them, once used they will be put in a zip lock bag ready to be cleaned.

All my products are now in containers and airless containers which means no air can get trapped inside the product and are always wiped down and sprayed down after each use.

I have also passed the Barbicide hygiene course to say I am safe to get back into work in a safe way with my clients .

The Lift + Sculpt butterfly stone, patented by Georgia Louise, is designed to lift, drain, and sculpt the face. Inspired by her massage technique, this tool fits perfectly fits and slots into all facial contours to create a deeply relaxing massage. The stone also has many healing and anti-aging benefits.

BENEFITS

• Smooths fine lines, wrinkles

• Crystal healing

• Anti-aging

*Each rose quartz stone is hand-cut and delicate. Pink shades may vary.

HEALING BENEFIT: Physically, rose quartz is used in crystal healing to benefit the heart, the circulatory system, fertility, headaches, kidney disease, migraines, sinus problems, acne, throat problems, depression, addictions, ear aches, slowing signs of aging, reducing wrinkles, spleen problems, fibromyalgia, and reaching one’s ideal weight or weight loss. Rose quartz is used for lung problems and other areas associated with the heart chakra. Rose quartz is also helpful and protective during pregnancy and with childbirth. 

SKINCARE BENEFITS: Massaging your face daily can give a more “contoured”look to the face and dramatically smoothes fine lines and wrinkles. Lymphatic  drainage is also stimulated when using the stone, detoxifying the skin and reducing puffiness in the face and around the eyes. The stone can also be used  for relieving stress in the facial muscles, which seem to accumulate tension as we age. Massaging stiff facial muscles around the jaw, cheeks and forehead can be very therapeutic and helps “relax” and “lift” the face.

Every skin type can find an oil that corresponds to its wants and needs. The actions as well as the textures can vary from oil to oil.

Oils are rich in vitamins, essential fatty acids, and anti-oxidants. Just a few drops are enough to provide an absolute beauty cocktail for your skin.

Oils prevent dehydration by reinforcing the skin’s hydrolipidic film.

An oil is often concentrated in a dropper bottle to ensure quick, easy, and precise application. There is no danger of applying either too much or too little!
