The hair stole the show!

Ruby was absolutely great from booking to the big day! We decided to go with my comfort hairstyle of a subtle wavy blow dry look and it couldn’t have looked better! The style lasted the whole day and night, all the way to 4am when the party finally ended. We used gems to add some sparkle to my hair too and they were beautiful. Ruby, I’m so grateful for you and I’d recommended you a thousand times over. Thank you!!

Ruby is a great hairdresser - really AMAZING for weddings. Not only was she really efficient with the 12 people’s hair she did. She did an absoloutley fantastic job on them everyone was so happy! As well as this she took some great pictures and a reel of the morning, then helped me as the bride get dressed ❤️ Strongly recommend Ruby!

Absolutely amazing

Ruby was fantastic from day 1. I had a last minute wedding and Ruby did everything she could to work around to make it possible to do my hair.
On the morning of the wedding, I was so nervous but Ruby’s personality set my nerves at ease and she made me laugh so much that my mood totally changed and I felt so uplifted and calm.

The hair was flawless, I have never felt so glam before. It was set to perfection and barely budged all day and it was pretty windy!! Would 100000% recommend, having Ruby there made the day so much better!

Amazing women

Ruby done my wedding hair back in 2010 and I've been with her ever since, even giving my babies their first cuts. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Nothing is to much for her and you feel comfortable within an instant.

Look no further this hair stylist is the one you need!

Couldn’t have asked for a better hair stylist. She is very calm and very funny and done an amazing half up half down for my wedding day. Even all my bridesmaids were very happy
Thank you so much for all the laughter and hard work you are amazing and I highly recommend.

I would definitely book Ruby again 💄

Ruby did hair & makeup for my daughter’s graduation. Such a friendly person (even at 0630) she made my daughter feel comfortable and nothing was too much to ask. Makeup and hair was amazing which made my daughter confident on such an important day. Will be using Ruby again x

One in a million

Mine and Mikes Wedding was made even more perfect having Ruby do the bridal parties hair, from start to finish with messages, booking, trials and on the day Ruby made me feel at complete ease, she is so down to earth and knows exactly how to make you feel and look beautiful. With the huge nerves on a Wedding Day, I cant thank Ruby enough for how calm she made me, as soon as she walked in she made everyone laugh and lightened the panicky mood. Ruby jumped straight in and got to work on the hair whilst still able to multitask with keeping conversations flowing and being the bubbly amazing woman she is to keep spirits high, I recently saw Ruby again at a friends Wedding and it felt like seeing a best friend from across the room, Ruby, again, from the bottom of this Brides heart, you are truly incredible. If any Brides are looking for someone thats professional, on the ball, an absolute steal in price for the incredible skills Ruby has and want someone that immediately feels like a friend, Rubys your girl.

She’s exactly what you need! X

Ruby, such an amazing woman! Ruby did my wedding hair and my bridesmaids and maid of honour. And wouldn’t have had anyone else. She made everyone including my daughters and niece feel super comfortable and happy and took control with so much confidence and pride when I was running slightly behind on my wedding day 🙈 she really put me at ease and when I wanted a certain hair style for my bridesmaids she put in her professional opinion and said the girls don’t have enough hair but instantly gave me an alternative which worked beautifully. Not only did she step up with that she took it upon her herself to help me get ready and make sure I was calm and collected getting all the way to getting in the car up to the castle. Definitely my go too. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thankyou ruby you absolute treasure xx

Amazing hair stylist!!

I had Ruby do my wedding hair for myself, bridesmaids and other member of the bridal party. Ruby has attention to detail and all our hair looked amazing. The mother of the groom had her hair done she did not know how she wanted to have her hair but Ruby looked at her dress and helped her decide on the perfect hairstyle there and then, that went with her 1950's style of dress. Ruby is easy to chat to and puts you at ease! I would 100% recommend Ruby to anyone. Thank you so much for all you help on my wedding day!!

Roo is just AMAZING!🤩🤩

Where do I even start??
Roo is amazing at what she does! She is so knowledgeable when it comes down to hairdressing! Roo has been my hairdresser for a couple of years now and she was my sisters hair stylist for her wedding last year and omg she made my sisters hair look stunning, not only that she did my hair being the maid of honour and I just felt so pretty. I showed Roo a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and just from a picture Roo was like ‘yes darling that’s fine I know what to do’ and just like that she did and I was so happy with it and not only that the other bridesmaids were jealous to the fact they said ‘we wish we got Roo to do our hair’

Roo is so lovely and such an easy person to get along with and is good at giving advice as to what she thinks may potentially look better. She is so professional when it comes down to her work and takes her time to make sure you get that perfect look.
Roo knows what she is doing and what she is talking about and I would recommend her to everybody! I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I’m so glad that I have chose Roo to be my hairstylist for my wedding next year😁🩷
All of Roo’s bridal hairs are just absolutely stunning and every bride pic I have seen that she has done just look beautiful!

Roo…you really are amazing!!🤩

Ruby the miracle worker!

Oh where can I start leaving a review for divinely dolled?
From the first contact Ruby’s communication was excellent, she is the most down to earth, positive and fun person you could wish to meet, full of enthusiasm and ideas. Having Ruby as a supplier was an absolute dream, she was by far my favourite one! She arrived early on the day, was dressed immaculately, helped with loads of other bits on the day far beyond her remit and was a funny friendly face to have around. I really thoroughly enjoyed Ruby’s company!

We had planned to have a fairytale plait with hair extensions, which she helped me to order but on the day of my wedding I became nervous, thinking maybe the hair extensions were not the right colour I had bought. Ruby reassured me everything would be fine and created nothing less than a masterpiece. I had so many compliments on my hair and had never seen anything like it previously, she absolutely worked a miracle and added that extra special touch to my wedding even bringing flowers with her to add into my style finishing it perfectly!

Ruby also done my mums hair, 3X bridesmaids and toddler sons hair. My mum felt so special with her fancy hair Ruby had created, all of the hairstyles looked incredible. One of my bridesmaids had a scar across the top of her head she felt incredibly conscious about, especially being centre of attention and Ruby covered it perfectly giving my bridesmaid the upmost confidence. I couldn’t be more thankful for all of Rubys incredible work towards making my day so magical from all of the magnificent hairstyles to help getting me in my dress, watching my toddler to creating a wedding album for me!

Ruby truly made my dreams come true with my wedding hair, making me feel the best I had ever felt. Also seeing how confident and beautiful Ruby made my mum and bridesmaids feel was absolutely priceless and something I will always remember.

If you are looking for wedding hair of your dreams you really need not look any further!
