“JOEY 💕💕💕I couldn’t describe how happy I am for you @joeyking ! My little sister got married WOOHOOOOO Congratulations Joey and Steven love u both to the moon n back :)” Giannetos wrote onInstagramof a picture of King’s wedding hair.
Giannetos tells PEOPLE exclusively he helped curate two looks for King’s wedding day – one for the ceremony and another for the reception.
“The hair at the ceremony was down soft and wavy over her shoulders and at the reception we just pulled some of the hair up with a few strands framing her face in the front,” he says.
“The inspiration behind Joey’s wedding look was that we wanted everything to be elegant, romantic and timeless,” he continues. “Something to highlight her natural beauty and not overshadow the beautiful Oscar de la Renta wedding dress.”
He adds that is was important to them both that they weren’t creating a trendy look.
“She was wearing a beautiful Oscar de la Renta dress so I felt the hair should be simple and over her shoulders,” he tells PEOPLE. “I’m always working closely with her makeup artist so overall everything works out perfectly!”
Since Giannetos and King have worked together for so many years, the hairstylist says the two have a very close and playful relationship. “We are like family,” he says, mentioning that he also styled one of King’s sister’s hair for the wedding.
“We always discuss what the look should be,” he tells PEOPLE. “Joey always trusts me with her hair and lets me create anything I have dreamt of since day one! My favorite moment was actually the entire weekend. It was so lovely to spend some time with her in her big special day in Mallorca.”
Giannetos also says the hair products he used from NEXXUS ensured that King’s looks lasted all day.
The main hero product:NEXXUS' Unbreakable Care Root Lift Thickening Spray, which “protects the hair from the heat and gives the hair an extra lift without making it feel stiff,” Giannetos shares with PEOPLE.
He also used theNEXXUS Dry Shampoo Refreshing Mistto “add some texture throughout the hair.”
For heat styling he turned to theGHD Duet Style 2-In-1 Hot Air Stylerto add body, bounce and “help keep the hair soft and silky while protecting from humidity.
