The best hair stylist you could ask for!

Gemma was incredible to have on our wedding day and truly went above and beyond!

She did a brilliant job of mine, my mothers and my MOH’s hair. She was incredibly professional and easy to get on with. It was a pleasure having her helping us all get ready. I really cannot recommend her enough. We all had so many compliments on our hair and I love seeing it in photos. The perfect hairstylist through and through - thank you x

Made my hair look amazing!

Gemma has done my hair twice now and she is amazing! The first time was for my sisters wedding where without extensions she gave me an amazing up do where it looked like I had thick hair! So when I was getting married I knew I wanted her to do my weddding hair. She did the most amazing job, this time I was using extensions and the way she blended them into my hair was next level amazing! It looked natural and full and was the most amazing up do once again. Would 1000% recommend Gemma!

Absolute hair queen 🫶🏼

Gemma has styled my hair before when I was a bridesmaid, and I just knew she had to be the one to do my hair on my wedding day. During the trial, she took the time to experiment and make adjustments until we were both completely happy with the final look. Gemma is not only incredibly professional but also makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed; the perfect presence to have on your wedding morning. She brings such a special, calming energy and adds that extra touch of magic to the whole experience. My hair lasted perfectly all day and night, and I honestly couldn’t recommend Gemma enough. She’ll make you feel like an absolute queen on your big day!

Gemma did my hair and the hair for my 5 bridesmaids on my wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing! She made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable, and every single one of us loved our hairstyles. Her work is beautiful, professional, and lasted perfectly all day. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better I highly recommend Gemma to any bride looking for a talented and lovely hairstylist!

My Personal Bridal Perfection by Gemma New

From the very first bridal trial, I knew I was in the best hands. Gemma didn’t just “do my hair” she truly listened to what I wanted, took the time to explain different styles, gave honest and thoughtful advice, and helped me feel completely confident in my choices. She even supported me in choosing and purchasing the perfect clip in hair extensions, ensuring they blended seamlessly for the look I had envisioned.
The trials were not only fun and reassuring, but they made me excited for the big day, knowing I was going to feel the best version of myself.

On the wedding day, Gemma was calm, kind and made the whole experience feel special. My hair looked incredible, elegant, secure and exactly how I dreamed it would be. What’s even more impressive is that it held up perfectly through “the biggest October storm on record!” Despite wild wind and rain, and a wedding that took place both indoors and outdoors, my hairstyle stayed flawless all day and night without a single touch up needed.
If you’re a bride looking for someone who truly cares, listens and delivers absolute magic, I wholeheartedly recommend Gemma New. She’s not just a hairstylist; she’s a bridal artist. Thank you, Gemma, for making me feel so confident and beautiful on one of the most important days of my life!

Lois’s Review xx

I couldn’t thank Gemma enough, she never questioned any styles we all wanted or said it was too much, we all absolutely loved our hair for the wedding, none of us wanted to take it out & it didn’t budge all day and night! Gemma was extremely time efficient, was on time but also allows enough time per person that the morning never felt rushed! I couldn’t recommend Gemma enough, she is amazing at what she does xx

Bristol wedding hair

Gemma was so lovely and flexible with all the bridesmaids and mother of the bride. One of my bridesmaids was particular anxious about having her hair done but Gemma made her feel so at ease. We didn't have time to do a trial but Gemma understood my vision and I was so please with how it came out! The waves stayed in until the end of the night and I was dancing for many hours!! Gemma also travelled to Bristol to do our hair and I am so grateful for that. Would 100% recommend for any prospective brides. 💓

Best of the best 💜

Gemma was the best of the best, she made myself, my bridesmaids and my mum feel like absolute queens. Our hair was everything I dreamed off and more. I set an image in my head and she created it, better than I had imagined. So so friendly, and helped made my big day feel so much more at ease. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely recommend!!

I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough! Gemma was booked to do my wedding hair and I couldn't have been happier. Gemma also took so much time and effort during my trials to get exactly the look I was after. She listened to what I wanted but also gave ideas and suggestions, considering veil placement etc. I was able to take in my jewellery and hair piece too to try on during the trial.
I found the planning of the day quite overwhelming but Gemma was so helpful and supportive. She basically planned the timings for me!! So we all knew exactly how long each of us had and when to start (there was me, 5 bridesmaids and mothers of both the Bride and Groom)
All 8 of us loved our hair and Gemma didn't let any of us leave until it was perfect, the attention to detail was second to none. I couldn't fault Gemma at all and I am so grateful to her for making me feel so amazing on my big day! Thank you!!!
