Great experience and highly recommend !

James was the perfect hair stylist for our big day. From the start, when I first contacted him, he was very quick to respond to messages and answer all my questions. At my trial he listened to what I wanted and what my bridesmaids wanted as well. On the big day my hair was perfect. It was exactly what I wanted. Him and his team were on time, very professional and friendly and did a great job on everyone’s hair. We all were happy with how our hair turned out and it lasted all day. I would highly recommend James as he did an amazing job!

Real life Wedding Superhero!!

I can't put into words how grateful I am to James in how amazing he was on my wedding day! James styled all 4 of my bridesmaids as well as my hair on the morning of the wedding and we all loved it. Nothing was too much of an ask and James went above and beyond to ensure that we all felt glam even in the stormy weather! Not only is James amazing at what he does he is also an amazing friendly guy to have around during the celebrations! 100% recommend, Thank you James for making my day so special!

The marbella dream

It was always going to be James!
From the moment the wedding was booked, James was the guy who was going to be doing my hair.
He is a perfectionist and when there was a tiny blip with location problems on the day , James was so calm and collected and just got into work mode.
He nailed the Hollywood Glam and it was the perfect look that matched the dress and accessories!

Thank you for making my hair perfect, thank you for being you !

Simply Amazing!

James was very friendly and professional, he made me feel so at ease with the whole experience. He glammed up myself, 4 bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding day. From the first consultation, discussing how I’d like my hair for the big day and what I was wanting for my bridesmaids, James guided me through it all. The styles were beautiful and elegant, and held all day, looking and feeling amazing from beginning to end. Thank you James!

James was fantastic from start to finish! He worked with me to achieve the style I was hoping for, whilst using his expertise along the way. He was warm and friendly and made the whole experience relaxed. Myself, my bridesmaids and mother/MIL were all so happy with the results. Highly recommend using James for your bridal hair!

Highly recommend:

James was one of the best decisions I made. He is an incredibly talented artist, experienced and a really kind and sweet person. Our trial was fun and he kept altering things until I was happy with the look. I also really appreciated his support when an unexpected thing went wrong. (I went to someone else to do my hair colour (my mistake), and it wasn't quite right so I rang James who went out of his way - out of hours - to advise on how to fix it and reassured me until I calmed down.) On the day itself, I was most relaxed doing my hair and I was actually having fun. A lovely man, but also so great at what he does. His service and experience is worth every penny.

Perfect Bridal hair

James was so calm and relaxed on the morning of my wedding. I could not thank him enough. My hair was just perfect and didn't move an inch! It honestly completed my bridal look and I absolutely loved it! He did my hair exactly how I wanted it. My bridesmaids also looked absolutely stunning and were all so pleased.

Outstanding Bridal Hair Stylist

James did my hair gorgeous on my wedding day as well as my bridesmaids. Nothing was too much to ask and he really went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my hair. I had so many compliments on it and I have never seen my hair look so fabulous. When I had my trial we tried various styles and nothing felt rushed, he just wanted me to be happy. I'd highly recommend James to any Bride wanting beautiful hair on their special day. Thank you again James for making my locks look lush. Also great communication and time keeping throughout xx

An absolute diamond!

I had quite a tricky time on my wedding day. 6 months pregnant, not feeling 100% myself and quite anxious. Not only is James incredibly talented at what he does and an easy decision for me for the day. He’s also incredibly patient and calm and knew exactly what to do to make me feel at ease. An all round lovely human.
He also made my mum look and feel a million dollars which was lovely!

The best hairstylist ever!

James and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with! From the beginning, James understood how I wanted my hair for my big day. During our hair trial we discovered that my hair cut wasn't going to be ideal for the hairstyle I wanted on my big day however this didn't stop James. He went through all the options with me and my hair turned out even better than expected on my big day and I couldn't be happier. James also glammed my mom and she loved every experience of it! Further to that James and his assistant also glammed my bridesmaids and they loved their hair! We had the best time getting ready listening to Mariah Carey and getting in the zone for my big day! I felt so confident and happy and would book James in a heartbeat for any future events! Thank you so much James!

I was looking for a hair stylist for my wedding day and I am very particular and fussy. I am so grateful I stumbled across James page on instagram, I loved the work he’s done previously and then enquired. He was quick with his responses and we booked in a trial (something I originally wasn’t going to do but so thankful I did!) His price point for the service he delivers is better than most I had enquired. My trial day was fantastic, he’s warm and welcoming and really listened to what I wanted. I am so so glad I listened to his advice about the hair extensions (if he recommends something do it!) He was on time for the wedding day, he really helped with my nerves and the look was spot on/ better than the trial day and his recommendation of the extensions made my whole look. The best thing it lasted ALL DAY.
A massive thank you James! :))))
