Celebrity Hairstylist Gabriel Georgiou Answers All Your Bridal Hair Questions!

Brides Today speaks to Gabriel Georgiou, hairstylist to stars such as Drew Barrymore, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, on his journey and how to get hair healthy in time for your wedding.

Brides Today: What inspired you to become a hairstylist?

Gabriel Georgiou: I always loved the arts and was drawn to creative fields such as painting, dancing, acting, sculpting, and photography. My brother chose hairdressing and I followed in his footsteps. I was attracted to what I saw on the runways during fashion weeks and in magazines, and films.

BT: How can a bride achieve her healthiest hair in time for her wedding?

GG: It’s a combination of factors—good nutrition, hydration, and low stress levels. A lot of people just use shampoo, which keeps the cuticles open, exposing hair to environmental damage and eventually leaving ends dry and brittle. When applying conditioner, massage your scalp in circular motions. This helps bring circulation to the scalp and stimulates the roots and pores of the hair.

BT: What are your favourite products for shiny hair?

GG: There are many products that provide shine but I love the GKhair Dry Oil Shine Spray, Bumble and Bumble Shine On (And On…) Finishing Spray, and Sebastian Xtah Cy-clone Raw & Silken Hair Cream.

BT: What treatments do you recommend?

GG: Choose clean, organic ingredients like natural oils. It could be as simple as applying olive, coconut, almond, or argan oil.

BT: What hairstyle would you recommend a bride opt for on her wedding day?

GG: It depends on her dress and whole look. There are many factors to consider. Everything plays a part, so decide the details first and then balance it with the hairstyle.

BT: Any advice that you would like to share for the bride?

GG: It’s one of the most important days of your life. Make it memorable and an experience. No matter how amazing the dress may be, everyone looks at your head. I see hair as a halo of sorts—it will always be noticed. Most importantly, be happy, confident, and enjoy the day.

BT: If you weren’t a hairstylist, what would you be doing?

GG: I would either be an actor, presenter, or an interior designer.
