Wedding hair
I would say that Gustav was the best hairdresser you could ever wish for on your wedding day but he was so much more than just a hairdresser - he was on hand to help out in any way he could as well as making my hair look absolutely perfect. I honestly can’t recommend him enough and I am so grateful for him to have been there on my special day.

The one
When I first saw Gustav my curly hair was in a shocking condition. A local hairdresser had recommended a relaxing type treatment to better manage the curls. This is probably the worst decision I have ever taken for my hair . My hair cracked leaving it terribly thin, weak and dry throughout. It broke in tufts in the front of my head. Gustav guided me to use 3 More Inches products, how nourish and dry it. He was always so sensitive at time of cutting giving me hope that it would recover well. And so it has . I estimate it took about 18 months to get back to full length and growth. With his guidance and amazing cutting technique on an 8 week basis I now long hair. It’s the start of long hair to be fair but it thick and in the best condition for many years. Gustav is wonderful hairdresser but also technically understands hair growth and maintenance . I highly recommend him.

Creative genius
When I booked Gustav for my wedding, I had no idea that it would be so much more than a fabulous hairstyle he would give me. From the very beginning with the trial to my hair color I understood just how much of a creative genius he is. In a twist of fate on the day of my wedding the power at the Savoy went out. I found myself running through the hotel and eventually out on The Strand in a hotel robe and slippers with Gustav by my side holding a sheet over my head so the guests would not get a glimpse before the ceremony. He was a calming presence on such a crazy morning. Whilst he maintained professionalism, he was so acutely aware of my needs, he picked up on the subtle and delicate relationships of various family members and was able to juggle it all with total ease. No small feat in my big, lively family. Gustav is talented, personable, flexible, easily multitasks and has the most amazing sense of style. The coifs he gave my bridesmaids and flower girls were as gorgeous and unique as they are! Despite all the curve balls of the morning, my hair was chic and sophisticated. It lasted me through all the dancing and when we returned to our room there wasn't a hair out of place! One of my many warm memories of my wedding day was Gustav accompanying and supporting me in the last moments before taking vows. I'll never forget him handing me over to my dad and watching me walk down the aisle from the back of the church to be given to my darling husband.
