Laurel Stratford Hair Stylist

Since winning the ‘Patrick Cameron Photographic Challenge 2012’, I have been looking forward to receiving the BIG part of my prize.

Namely spending 4 hours training one on one with Patrick and the rest of the afternoon with him and a few others lunching.

Wow, what an experience.

I learnt 5 major styles and them others thown in as we progressed throughout our time.

Training with Patrick is so great, as he works step by step. So I learnt a style from it’s foundation up.

Now I’ll be able to adapt these styles as I wish for my own clients.

Infact since last Monday I have used what I learnt every day.

Yes, I’ve had two weddings, two wedding trials and two friend going to a wedding…full on, but oh so good.

check out my styles.

There I had the pleasure of getting the lovely Alison and her Family and bridesmaids ready for a their special day.

Alison came all the way from Canada to marry her New Zealand sweetheart.

Wow what a busy weekend it was.

I had the pleasure of working with Three lovely women, from different backgrounds but with  very New Zealand roots.

Friday morning was a Kiwi/Indian wedding on board the boat ‘Ipipiri’

Friday afternoon was a Canadian-Korean/Kiwi wedding in Russell at Christs Church

While Saturday saw Kiwi’s living in London return home for their very special day in Omapere.

All very different, all so lovely.

Thank you ladies.
