Modern Bridal Hair for Herefordshire & Cotswold Weddings

Tracey Dodd is a modern bridal hairstylist specialising in effortlessly elegant, textured hairstyles for brides across Herefordshire, the Cotswolds and the surrounding countryside.

Known for her calm, professional approach, Tracey creates bespoke hairstyles that feel timeless rather than trend-led. Every look is thoughtfully tailored to complement each bride’s dress, features and personal style, ensuring she feels like the very best version of herself on her wedding day.

From intimate countryside celebrations to luxury barn weddings and exclusive manor house venues, Tracey brings a relaxed, refined presence to every wedding morning. Her aim is not simply to style beautiful hair, but to create an enjoyable, unhurried experience that allows brides to feel confident, comfortable and completely looked after.

Tracey offers a personalised bridal hair experience including bridal hair previews, wedding day hairstyling, bridesmaids and bridal party styling, Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom hairstyling, and veil and accessory placement.

Her signature style is modern, soft and beautifully textured, with an understated luxury aesthetic. Tracey believes bridal hair should feel like an elevated version of the bride herself — never overly fussy, heavily styled or simply copied from a Pinterest image.

Tracey also loves working with brides who choose to embrace their natural texture, creating beautiful bridal hairstyles that enhance and celebrate naturally curly or wavy hair. Whether the aim is to define natural curls, incorporate them into an updo or create a style that feels authentically ‘her’, each look is tailored to the bride’s individual hair and personal style.

Based in Herefordshire, Tracey is available for weddings throughout the Cotswolds, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and beyond, with travel available for destination weddings across the UK.

For brides dreaming of elegant, effortless wedding hair and a relaxed morning surrounded by their favourite people, Tracey offers a truly personal experience from the initial enquiry through to the final finishing touch.

Enquiries are warmly welcomed for weddings across Herefordshire, the Cotswolds and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

What services do you offer?

Hairdressing

What is included in the wedding package?

My wedding-day package includes your bridal hairstyling on the morning of your wedding, with a personalised style created to suit you, your dress and overall bridal look. I’ll work with you to create a hairstyle that feels like you, is secure and comfortable, and lasts throughout your day. I’ll also create a clear schedule for the morning to ensure everything runs smoothly and you feel relaxed and looked after. Bridal party hairstyling can be added, along with travel and a second stylist where required. Bridal trials are booked separately

How far in advance should I contact you?

I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have your wedding date and venue confirmed, particularly if you’re getting married during the popular summer months. I take a limited number of weddings each year to ensure I can give every bride a personal and relaxed experience. That said, it’s always worth asking about your date, even if your wedding is coming up soon — I may still have availability

Do you work at homes?

Yes

What is the charge for travelling?

Travel is complimentary within a 15-mile radius of Herefordshire. Beyond 15 miles, a travel fee of £0.70 per mile applies to cover the additional time and mileage involved

Could you stay with the bride until the photo shoot?

Yes

How many people can you beautify for one wedding?

I have successfully styled up to 8 people on my own, although this will always depend on your ceremony time, getting-ready location and the hairstyles required. I’ll create a realistic schedule to make sure everyone is ready on time without the morning feeling rushed. For larger bridal parties, or earlier ceremony times, I can also arrange a second stylist to ensure everything runs smoothly and you can enjoy a calm, relaxed morning

Can you provide your beauty services for pre-wedding and post-wedding photography?

Yes

What are the forms of payment?

I currently accept bank transfer as my preferred method of payment. Full payment details and payment dates will be provided when your booking is confirmed

Such a wonderful person! 🌟 Tracey is a star!

Tracey was so friendly right from the beginning, and she was very professional and polite. When I attended my hair trial, she was so understanding of what I wanted and she was really invested in getting the look right, she was willing to try as many styles as I needed. On the day, she arrived promptly and started working straight way, keeping to time constraints and allowing extra time in our schedule. She was calm and polite and styled our hair beautifully. She listens to what you want and turns your vision into reality! She was such a wonderful person to work with, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful and modern elegant hairstyles.

Amazing bridal hairdresser!

So happy to have found Tracey to do my bridal hair and my bridesmaids. Tracey is highly skilled, professional, responsive and also really friendly and easy to get on with. She brought the vision I had of my wedding hair to life, and made improvements to the design over a couple of trials that were very helpful to have beforehand. Tracey also did a wonderful job with several bridesmaids and a groomslady, and it was lovely to see us all with such fabulous hair. Highly recommend, was lovely to have her skill and calming presence on the wedding day. Wish I could have my hair done so lovely more often!

April wedding

Tracey did the most fantastic job with my hair on my wedding day. I felt very comfortable, it held all day and into the evening, and everybody complimented me on it. Tracey was extremely flexible and professional throughout, and her calm energy helped me to enjoy the morning of the wedding. She also did my sister, mother and two flower girls' hair, and all of them looked amazing, and were very happy. I couldn't recommend Tracey more.

Wedding Day

Fantastic Hairdresser. Will go the extra mile. Nothing is too much and flexible to work around my crazy household.

My hair looked fabulous as well as the girls. She doesn’t rush to try and get to the next client and you can put your trust in her hands. Will definitely recommend her.

What a fantastic experience

We have been friends for many years and when I got engaged the only person I thought of doing my hair for my wedding was Tracey. Not only is she amazing at bridal hair but she also has great energy which puts you at ease from the get go. I would absolutely recommend Tracey to any new bride to be!! Her attention to detail is second to none and my experience was extremely positive. Overall I am highly satisfied and would recommend Tracey Dodd.

Perfect Wedding Day

Tracey was amazing to work with for my wedding. Nothing was too much trouble, my hair trials were so good I was not worried at all. Tracey also did 5 bridesmaids of mine and each style was unique but in keeping with my theme. I would definitely recommend Tracey for any bridal hair.
