My bohemian hair dream!

I cannot recommend Fran enough, she was so patient with me and really listened to help me figure out what I actually wanted. On my wedding morning, she arrived so bubbly and was such a calming and positive person to have in my home on such a special day! My hair lasted all day and I genuinely just loved it so so much and my maid of honours was just gorgeous too! Thanks so much Fran, you really are the best!! Xxx

Cockman Wedding 2025

Wow! What an amazing job Francesca did. From first contact to after the wedding, she has been amazing. Incredibly talented, she worked with my and my bridal party to create stunning hair styles that lasted well into the night.
I felt like a real princess with my hair and had so many gorgeous compliments.
On the day, Francesca felt like one of the girls. Her calm and professional yet friendly presence added to the morning, making it truly special. I would recommend Francesca again and again!

Amazing Bridle Hair

Francesca styled mine and my 3 Bridesmaids hair for my wedding on the 18th October. She listened to my ideas and executed them perfectly, if not better than I could of imagined. My hair looked amazing and lasted the day with ease.
She went above and beyond on the day to help keep me calm, even helped with my dress and flowers. She made sure everyone enjoyed the experience of the day. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again x

A wonderful experience

Francesca was absolutely amazing! I had my hair trial in September and my hair looked amazing - but I asked to tweak a couple of things just to make the look feel more "me". Francesca was more than happy to work with me to come up with the hair of my dreams and she never once made me feel like a bother or a nuisance.

Francesca managed to create hold that my hair has never had before - my hair lasted all night through rain and a ridiculous amount of headbanging on the dancefloor!

Francesca made all my bridesmaids feel so at ease - she was chatty, consulted with everyone on the day and made them all feel confident and comfortable in her well skilled hands.

I am so grateful for the work Francesca did on my big day and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! 🥰

Incredible, calm and talented wedding hair

Francesca was absolutely fantastic, she did an incredible job of four people's hair all of which were difficult and thick hair! She did an amazing job of putting very difficult, short thick hair up in such an elegant hair style. She was also a joy to have on the wedding morning, keeping everyone very calm, keeping us in schedule and being flexible when things didn't go to plan. Would highly recommend, you couldn't want for better on your wedding morning!

The Best Bridal Hair Queen of All Time – Francesca 👸

It’s hard to put into words just how incredible Francesca is. From the very first preview she worked magic, transforming my naturally wiry hair into a sleek, elegant updo that I barely recognised as my own. She captured exactly what I had envisioned.

Closer to the wedding I decided I wanted to adapt the style so it felt a little more “me.” Even though we had not trialled this new look, Francesca created it perfectly on the morning of my wedding while keeping me and my bridesmaids calm, relaxed and on schedule. She was so understanding of my nerves and anxiety on the day and her calm, kind presence made such a difference to how I felt.

She also worked wonders on my mum’s short hair, creating the most beautiful updo that we did not think was even possible. We received endless compliments on our hairstyles throughout the day and I truly lost count of how many people admired Francesca’s work.

Francesca, thank you for your professionalism, your incredible talent, and for looking after us so wonderfully on such an important morning. You made us all feel like a million dollars and I will be forever grateful.

Hair of dreams!

I spent ages looking for a wedding hairstylist who could do amazing braided styles. I could NOT be happier to have found Francesca! She is a magician. Or maybe a fairy godmother. She turned my thin wispy hair into some sort of boho fairytale dream.

At the trial, she was so lovely and took the time to ask questions and understand what I was looking for. I felt happy with it on the day, but. then looking at the photos in the days that followed it didn't feel quite right. I messaged Francesca and she was super understanding and told me her ideas to change up the style, and - crucially - advised me to buy extensions.

She eased my mind a lot, but when the big day came around I was still a little nervous as we hadn't tried it with extensions.

But, OMG, did she knock it out the park! Face framing waves, a boho braid, waves and twists and tendrils, and extensions expertly blended in. It was a work of art, and 10x better than my original inspo photo.

On top of that Francesca (and Paige) also styled my 7 bridesmaids with unique boho braided styles and they were also even better than I imagined!

Thank you!

Choosing Francesca was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! From the moment we started working together, she made me feel completely at ease. She truly listened to my vision and brought it to life even better than I imagined. On the morning of the wedding, her calm and kind presence helped me feel relaxed and confident. I felt absolutely beautiful thanks to her incredible talent. Francesca is not only skilled, but also so lovely to work with — I can’t recommend her highly enough! 🥰❤️

Francesca made me feel like a Queen

Francesca was amazing throughout the whole experience and made me feel so comfortable and confident that I would look my absolute best on the day! My hair didn’t budge all day after my trail and on my wedding day. She explained everything she was doing and made me feel so at ease! I still can’t stop looking at how exceptional my hair was!
My bridal party were so impressed with Francesca and can’t stop singing her praises not just for her amazing hair styling skills but for all of the additional support and hype whilst I was getting into my dress, having photos and final touches!
Francesca is by far the best in the business and I would recommend her to everyone!!!

Just incredible!

I have no words. From start to finish, Francesca was absolutely amazing! Her expertise and knowledge shone through the recommendations she gave for different styles based on timeframes, and she was able to help one of my bridesmaids who has alopecia finish the styling of her wig. Just wonderful.
She put me and all the girls at ease on the morning of our wedding and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Utter perfection! Thank you x

Stunning bridal hair!

Francesca made my hair look absolutely amazing! She listened to what I wanted and created a look that was even better than expected. I showed my bridesmaids the preview photos and they thought I had just sent a Pinterest inspo pic as it was so amazing! I got so many compliments on the wedding day and was thrilled with the final look!

The best Wedding Hair - Huge thank you 🤍

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Fran. She absolutely nailed my wedding day hair—like, I wish I could wear my hair like that every single day. Not only did she make me feel so beautiful, but she also made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. From the moment we met, she just had this calming, friendly energy that put me totally at ease.

I found Fran through a recommendation from my makeup artist (thank you again!) and stumbled across her Instagram—which is filled with the most gorgeous hairstyles. I picked one of her past styles as inspo, but what she created for me turned out even better than I imagined. Like, a million times better.

Francesca certainly knows what she’s doing. Francesca & Olivia’s hair styles on my Bridesmaids & mum honestly was stunning. Francesca wanted to make sure the hair was perfect before the aisle and it absolutely was! Not to mention it stayed in past midnight after dancing the night away!!!

It felt like having an additional “Bridesmaid” before the aisle because she was so helpful even if it was crazy Chaos before the aisle. Thank you again!!🤍

Hair Wizard

Where do I even begin?! I chose Francesca because she created 2 amazing hair looks on my sister in law for her wedding in 2024, so I immediately knew she was who I wanted to do my hair.

From start to finish, Fran was quick to respond and gave her expert advice around styles helping us create the sleek Hollywood wave style I went for. The wedding day itself came around and it was the hottest day of the year so I was apprehensive about the style lasting all day but Fran managed to create my bridal style plus 3 bridesmaids styles that lasted the whole day, through the extreme heat.

Not only is she an absolute hair wizard, Fran has the calmest nature which creates the vibe you want for the morning of your wedding and even when we were running behind schedule, she kept us all calm and relaxed. When it came to getting dressed, Fran was right there to help my bridesmaids and my mum into their outfits.

Thank you so much for everything Fran! If I could do it all again, I would! You were truly amazing!! Xxx

Total Hair Angel!

Francesca was a total angel. I came to her after, quite honestly, a disaster of a hair trial with someone else. She immediately put me at ease, truly listened, and showed so much care and attention during my trial that I felt completely relaxed and excited about my hair for the big day.

With thin hair and the challenge of finding the right extensions to match and blend, I was a little nervous but Francesca was there for me every step of the way. She was always just a message away with advice and support.

On the day itself, she went above and beyond, from coming to the rescue with chalk for my dress to capturing beautiful BTS moments, including my first look with my husband! I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She was my hair angel, through and through.
