Rainbow Room International certainly brought the red-carpet radiance to BAFTA Scotland 2023. The salon group styled hair for celebrities attending the red carpet and awards ceremony, creating looks for the likes of Lucy Halliday and Krysty Cairns. You may be interested to know the most requested style was a soft, refined updo with lots of hairspray.
The red-carpet looks in detail
RRI salon director Rachael created a beautiful, soft, loose pinned updo for Krysty Cairns, writer for films 1917 and The Good Nurse. This complimented her incredible suit and corset combo.
Rachael also styled the hair for the youngest BAFTA nominee, Frankie Corio, who stars in Aftersun. Rachael created Frankie’s first-ever curly updo with volume.
RRI stylist Jordan styled hair for Lucy Halliday, Blue Jean actress and winner of the Actress Film category…well done, Lucy! For the look, Jordan enhanced Lucy’s natural waves, giving them a polished and glossy appearance.
RRI stylists Ellie, Sof and Archie all tended to the hair of Capital Radio host Tallia Storm, who also opted for a curly updo style.
Other guests who dropped by to see the Rainbow Room International team included Meryl Williams (The Traitors). Meryl had her hair styled into soft, glossy curls by RRI art director Aimie. Ashley Jensen (Mayflies) had her hair styled into a low, tousled ponytail by Jordan. Ellie MacDowall (Archie) had her hair styled by RRI stylist Anna into a chic, smooth, voluminous updo.
