029. DOM PELLI [VIDEO]

This week on Crew Table, we’re joined by one of Australia’s most recognised bridal hairstylists, Dom Pelli.

Born into a family of barbers, Dom’s journey began behind the barber chair before evolving into a career spanning luxury bridal styling, education, brand partnerships and celebrity clients. Today, he’s recognised as one of Australia’s leading names in bridal and event hair, but the path there was anything but straightforward.

In this episode, we go beyond the hairstyles and social media highlight reels to unpack the mindset behind building a personal brand in one of the most competitive creative industries.

We discuss growing up in a family where hair was the family business, leaving school early and finding purpose through creativity, building a career from weddings to editorial and celebrity styling, winning Bridal & Event Stylist of the Year, the pressure of social media and creating content in the wedding industry, the viral TikTok that divided opinions across photographers, hair and makeup artists, content creators and brides, whether weddings are becoming more about content than connection, why personal branding is no longer optional for creative business owners, and the lessons Dom has learnt from styling hundreds of brides.

Whether you’re a photographer, filmmaker, stylist, makeup artist, florist, planner, or simply someone building a creative business, this conversation is packed with honest insights into what it takes to stand out, evolve and build a brand people remember.
