If you want to feel and look beautiful on your wedding day don’t look any further !

I had my wedding hair done by James and I can’t praise him enough. He is absolutely amazing artist who will make you look and feel special on your wedding day. He is also very kind and he actually listens to what you’d like your hair to be like, which is quite often problem with hairdressers. Honestly, don’t look any further, get him to do your trial and you will definitely hire him!

Hire James immediately!!!

James did SUCH a fantastic job at my wedding, he’s such a great hair stylist, really professional and also a super cool guy! I was so happy with the hair he did for me and my bridesmaids. It lasted all night and I would 100% recommend him. If he’s available on your wedding day then hire him asap - you’ll be so glad you did!

The wedding hair GOAT!!!

James, I really don’t know enough adjectives to describe how amazing and talented you are! James did my hair for my August 2026 wedding and I would recommend him to anyone. I found him on Instagram after being let down by another friend hair stylist, and I think that was one of the best things to happen to me, I genuinely think it was the universes way of getting me my perfect wedding hair. Throughout the whole journey he was quick to email back and really friendly but professional. I loved my trial hair but he was open to a few changes I had on the day. On the day he was super calm and kept the atmosphere really relaxed (which I deffo needed), but also kept everything running to schedule. James is so fun to be around and kept me talking and laughing when I think he clocked I was getting a bit overwhelmed. He is such a perfectionist and I knew there was no way I was leaving that chair without him being 100% happy with it and it was perfect. It’s easy to see why he is so well regarded, he didn’t just shove the hair up, it was all the prep work and fine tuning after that really made it perfect and elevated. I’m so incredibly glad I chose James, there really was no one better, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a professional, kind, perfectionist who will bring good vibes and who genuinely wants you to look your best, look no further than James. I’ll forever be grateful, and thank you again James!

Couldn’t Recommend James Highly Enough and Would Definitely Use Him Again!

James was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He and his assistant managed to style nine people’s hair on the morning of the wedding, which was no small task, and everything ran so smoothly.

He was incredibly flexible and made sure every girl could have exactly what she wanted, even though everyone chose completely different styles. Nobody felt rushed, and every hairstyle looked beautiful.

James was also brilliant during my trial, so helpful and reassuring, and he made sure I felt completely confident about my hair before the day. I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out.

Thank you so much, James, for helping make the morning so relaxed and enjoyable. I honestly couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

James will elevate your look

James has given me and my guests the look we craved and more. He is professional, talented and has a lovely, easygoing attitude - you could tell he is an artist from the moment you meet him. Most importantly, he is attentive. On the trial day, I wanted less spray on my hair, as I really like a natural look. He listened and did exactly that on my wedding day, giving me such a beautiful updo that everyone complimented. He is awesome and highly recommended.

Amazing and professional service

James has been amazing from the first enquiry all the way to our wedding day. He is fast at responding to messages and very professional. I had two trials with him as he recommended I do a keratin treatment which has massively improved the health of my hair already. I wanted a half up half down style and he suggested extensions to achieve this look then ordered them himself and they matched perfectly with my hair. He arrived on time on the wedding day and I am so pleased with the result - my hair looked amazing all day and my long veil stayed in play even in the wind. Can’t fault James or his service in any way he’s a lovely person and very good at his job. If you are considering booking James just do it you will be so happy with the look he creates. He also did my sisters hair and 2-year-old daughter’s hair and was so good with the kids. All I can say is amazing - so happy I chose James to do my bridal hair.

James is fantastic

James was fantastic from start to finish. I am so glad I had James as my stylist for my wedding not only because my hair looked beautiful but also because he brought such great energy - he was calm, friendly and professional. I really felt like James cared about getting mine and the bridesmaids hair perfect for the day and he clearly takes great pride in his craft. 100% recommend.

Just incredible! The best of the best!

Where do I start? James was incredible from start to finish. I booked him after he did my sister’s hair for her wedding a few years ago at Grantley Hall and after seeing his work online, along with our hair for my sister’s wedding and just his company and professionalism on the day, he was an absolute no brainer! He’ll leave you wishing you’d invited him to your wedding. He listened to every detail I wanted for my hair, along with my 4 bridesmaids, flower girl and mother of the bride; everything was truly perfect. He arrived on time and was really part of our wedding morning. He’s easy to talk to and have around, and nothing is too much. He isn’t phased by any requests and ensures your hair is absolutely perfect before he leaves. I would absolutely recommend him for your special day or if you’re local to Leeds, paying him a visit! Thank you so much for making everything so perfect on my wedding day!

WOW can't thank you enough James !

I'm so glad I found James for my wedding hair! The whole journey from start to finish was top notch and all ran smooth. James came straight back to me with any queries I had and as someone who had no idea how to have my hair on my big day James came up with the ultimate style it was just what I was looking for and complimented my dress. I'll never get over how amazing I felt walking down the aisle and that's all thanks to James , his creativity is unreal.
Thanks once again James you absolutely excelled my expectations. One happy Bride x

My Fairy-tale Hair

James is fantastic and did an amazing job. I loved my hair on the day and so did my guests. He was warm and friendly with the bridal party and the friends that were there in the morning.

My sister/only bridesmaid can be fussy with her hair and he did an amazing job with her hair.

Bridal hair Perfection

James was recommended to me by my wedding planner, who had worked with him on previous weddings and told me he was not only a lovely person to work with but also a fantastic hairstylist. After checking out his work on Instagram, I knew he would be perfect.

James styled all of my bridesmaids’ hair to absolute perfection — each one looked incredible. He was such a pleasure to have in the bridal suite on the morning of my wedding, bringing a wonderful, warm energy to the room.

He travelled out to Rome, Italy for my wedding with ease and professionalism, making everything feel effortless. I would highly recommend James for bridal hair — he will not disappoint!

Bridal hair

James was just amazing from my initial enquiry to the wedding day and everything in between! I wanted two very different looks for the day (one for the Indian ceremony and a second look for the civil ceremony) and he delivered on both. He also provided hair styling for bridesmaids and mother of the bride and offered top-ups between the ceremonies which was a lovely extra touch. He was a great addition to the bridal party and brought lots of energy on the morning of the wedding. I cannot recommend him enough.

Brilliant!

James was wonderful and a pleasure to have around on our wedding morning, keeping everyone relaxed and laughing. I loved my hair and had tonnes of compliments on the day, and my mum and bridesmaids were thrilled with theirs too. Thank you so much James!
