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.

Perfection!

I was lucky enough to book James for our May 2025 wedding (4 bridal party in total). From the start, his communication was flawless and I cannot be more grateful for him instantly making the planning process so easy.

James’ creativity and passion for hair is so beautiful. During the trial he listened to what I was wanting and brought the visions to life in various different styles - all absolutely gorgeous! James’ calmness on the wedding morning was blissful, and I quite honestly cannot thank him enough.

My hair was gorgeous, as were all the other ladies in the bridal party. My hair held all day without needing to worry - he is just amazing!

I highly recommend James and the service he provides!

Thank you so much James x

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!

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 !

Great experience

James was great, listened to what I wanted and used his creativity to get the vision just right. My ceremony was outside in hills of the Yorkshire Dales, and despite the heavy winds it held all day! He was really friendly and my four bridesmaids were all thrilled as well. Couldn't recommend more.
