Meghan Markle’s"messy" bunwasn’t the only hairstyle that had onlookers turning heads at theroyal wedding.
“We had a super early start – we were there [at] 7am!” freelance stylist Perez tells PEOPLE, adding that upon his arrival, Amal was “relaxed, and really excited to go to her friend’s wedding.”
Working alongsideTilbury, Perez said the decision for Amal to wear her hair down was actually a last minute one. “Originally we had thought of wearing her hair up. But once we put it all together with her dress, I just loved the look of her hair down.”

The Spanish-born hairstylist, who has been cutting, coloring and creating looks for Amal for almost four years (just after the Clooneys’spectacular Italian wedding in 2014) says this style took less than one hour to put together.
As one would expect, Amal has “amazing hair,” he shares. “It is quite curly and very thick, which gives me a lot of control.”
“It is such an amazing oil because [you can] use it before heat styling to protect the hair, or after for glossiness,” he says.

Next, he “created soft waves with a hair brush, and pinned one side up a little,” recalls Perez, who added that the look had a “modern 1920’s vibe.”
Says the pro of the once-in-a-lifetime experience: “I love working with Amal, she is very easy to work with. And of course, I’m so proud that my work has now been seen all over the world.”
