Welcome to the Bride's Room!!

Before you spend money on a bridal hair consultation, watch this conversation.

Too many Black brides go into their bridal hair consultation without knowing what questions to ask, what to expect, or what they're actually paying for.

In this episode of The Bride's Room, I'm joined by Antoinette-Ale, Co-founder & CEO of Tressly, to unpack everything every Black bride should know before booking a bridal hairstylist.

We discuss:

✨ What should happen during a bridal hair consultation

✨ Questions every bride should ask before booking

✨ Red flags to look out for

✨ How to avoid expensive bridal hair mistakes

✨ How to get luxury bridal hair without overspending

My goal with The Bride's Room is simple: to give Black brides the conversations they deserve before they say "I do."
