Artist Interview

In this weeks interview Kensington artist, Lauren D, talks about her love for creating up-do's, wedding day hair for brides and which celebrity hair style has caught her eye lately.

K: How long have you been styling hair?

L: I feel like I've done it forever! I would do my friends hair in high school, but I started doing hair professionally at the Toni & Guy Academy last year.

K: Among the different and creative ways to style hair, what' s your personal favorite?

L: I love to create up-do's. I love making someones hair into a piece of art. Giving big bouncy curls to someone with straight hair is also a lot of fun. You get to witness and be part of this huge transformation.

K: In your opinion what should a client, particularly a bride, think about when choosing her perfect style for her wedding day?

L: Thinking about your own hair type and knowing your hair and what your hair is capable of is a big deal. I also think it's good for women to know her face and know what styles may or may not be suitable. It's not about some extravagant up-do, it's about the bride being the most beautiful version of herself , accentuating her own beauty on HER special day. She'll want to look for something that fits her.

K: We all look towards celebrities for the latest hair styles. What celebrity style has caught your eye lately?

L: I like to keep tabs on Rachel McAdams. She's always playing with her hair color and styles. Curls, swept bangs, short hair, mid-length waves, no matter what , she's looking gorgeous and she shows how versatile hair can be.

K: Lastly, What product do you use that you can't live without?

L: I love Control Freak by TIGI. It's from TIGI's Bed Head line and the reason why I can't live without this product is because I have crazy curly, and frizzy hair. Control Freak tames the hair by smoothing and leaving you with non-frizzy and manageable hair. It's good for straight or curly hair types , and it basically tames the hair so styling is simple and faster. It feels like a gel in your hands , but once you apply it to damp hair, the strands are left silky and moveable after the hair is styled.
