Hairstyling is not my job, it’s my passion

A good hairstyle impresses, lasts the whole day and amazes you how beautiful you are. To achieve this, professional expertise from an experienced hairstylist is absolutely key. But I also think it is just as important to get to know my clients and understand their wishes as much as possible.

The start of my career

Around 20 years ago, I started my career working as a top stylist for the internationally renowned hairstylists Toni & Guy in Amsterdam. Here I received expert training in a.o. London, Amsterdam and Antwerp. I trained hairstylists, organised Toni & Guy seminars and did stage presentations showing the newest hair trends, for Wella and Redken for instance.

International events and projects

Many interesting and challenging projects followed. I worked as a hairstylist for the Amsterdam International Fashion Week and the well-known television programme Benelux Next Topmodel. I created fabulous and original hairstyles for various shows and for famous clients (see below).

A wedding stylist with a passion

Eventually I specialised in bridal hairstyling, as this is where my heart ultimately lies. To this day I still think it’s very special to make sure a bride starts her wedding day looking stunningly beautiful, radiant and self-confident with a breath-taking hairstyle.Winnaar Bruidsvisagist/Hairstylist 2015

The highlight of my career as a bridal stylist, was when I came 2nd place at the Dutch Wedding Awards in the Bridal visagist/hairstylist of the year 2012. In 2014 and 2015 I won the Dutch Wedding Awards as best wedding make-up artist / hairstylist in The Netherlands! In 2016 I won the ZIWA- International Wedding Awards for best bridal hairstylist.

For a few years I have also run a succesful webshop selling hair accessories: www.fashionhairaccessories.nl. I always aim to find the most pretty and unique pieces from all over the world.

I look forward to make you happy with a fantastic hairstyle in future. I would love to hear from you!
