132. Robyn Munro - Bridal Hair Stylist, Founder of Robyn Munro Hair

This week, I’m joined by Robyn Munro, a bridal hair specialist with decades of experience in the wedding world. We dive into everything from what actually happens at a hair trial to how to create a calm, joyful wedding morning without the stress. If you’re planning your day right now, this one is packed with practical advice.We chat about:💜 How Robyn carved out a niche in bridal hair (and why not every hairdresser wants to do weddings)💜 What a hair trial is really for: testing products, curl patterns, timing, and the overall plan💜 Whether you should book hair and makeup trials on the same day💜 Wedding morning flow and why strict run sheets can sometimes create more stress than calm💜 Booking a hair + makeup team vs booking separately, and the pros and cons of both💜 Pre-wedding hair prep, from scalp health to colour placement and timing your cut💜 Busting the “dirty hair is better” myth (and why clean, dry hair is usually best)💜 Current wedding hair trends: softer, bigger waves, sleeker updos, and half-up half-down having a moment💜 How to choose a hairstyle that suits your dress, venue, vibe, face shape, and the NZ weather💜 Budget expectations for bridal hair and what actually influences pricing, from experience to travel and time…and so much more!Let me know what you think of this episode.Follow Robyn: @robynmunrohairIf you loved this conversation, go check out the photos and follow along at @thekiwiweddingpodcast and @lydiarachelphoto for more real NZ wedding inspiration.Join ⁠⁠⁠THE LOVE LETTER BY LYDIA RACHEL⁠⁠⁠, a fortnightly note from me with wedding inspiration, podcast highlights, real weddings I’m capturing, and a few things I’ve been loving lately.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
