Anna Sorbie How To Choose The Perfect Bridal Style: Bridal Hair And Beauty Expert, Anna Sorbie, Reveals The Secrets To Finding Your Perfect Wedding Hairstyle

Face facts Face shape plays a huge part in determining the styles that suit you.

If a bride with a particularly round face shape wanted to wear her hair in an up-do I would recommend a half-up, half-down style, to help slim and elongate the face. A good bridal hairstylist will know exactly which styles suit and flatter your face shape.

Listen and Don’t Interrupt It's important when a client complains to listen to the problem and what they have to say, without interruptions.

Often when people complain they have worked themselves up to do so, so make sure they can vent their anger or annoyance without being cut off mid sentence.

Constructive criticism is all part of running a business, so listening is essential; the complainant may have a case and it could potentially be something you can work on in the future, to benefit your business.

Zaheda Hafez is founder of The Laser Treatment Clinic in Harley Street, London.

She started her career in the Aesthetic field in 1996 as Senior Consultant to a renowned cosmetic surgeon at a private clinic in Harley Street. We speak to her to find out more about Laser Skin Care.

Zaheda has always had an interest in skincare, but she was drawn to the scientific advancements in cosmetics, and what this could mean for the future of skincare. In 2000, her passion led her to open The Laser Treatment Clinic at 1 Harley Street, London. Here, a team of highly skilled professionals have provided advanced solutions to skin concerns for nearly two decades.

“I work with a team of highly skilled professionals to provide advanced skin care solutions with care and compassion at our clinic in Harley Street, London.

When asked about the mission statement for her firm, Zaheda replied that The Laser Treatment Clinic is dedicated to making their clients feel more beautiful; “It’s never too late to rejuvenate, restore and protect the natural beauty of your skin.

She went on to speak about the values that govern the running of The Laser Treatment Clinic.

“These six core values, which guide The Laser Treatment Clinic’s mission to this day, are an expression of the vision and intent of our founder.
