Magician!!

I cannot recommend you highly enough! From start to finish, you were incredibly patient, kind, and professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even when we needed to add another bridesmaid at the last minute. You accommodated everything so calmly and made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable.
The hairstyles you created were absolutely beautiful, and I honestly felt the most confident and beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. I received countless compliments on my hair from guests throughout the day, and it stayed perfect from morning until night.
You didn’t just meet my expectations—you completely exceeded them. Your talent, attention to detail, and genuine care for your clients truly set you apart. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special and for making me feel amazing. I am so grateful and would recommend you to any bride!

Great work, great ideas, reliable and value too.

Gem took her time to establish everyone’s wishes. Trial was brilliant to establish what was achievable for the day. On the day she was amazing fitting in 6. She worked with the MUA too for great time management. She worked with young bridesmaids and hair extensions too. Would highly recommend her.

Just perfect 💖

Gemma did mine and my bridal party's hair this April and I couldn't have been happier, I genuinely just felt incredible. I showed her inspo and she literally replicated it to a T. Same for the rest of my bridal party! Everything was absolutely perfect.

She was also so much fun to chat to and really got involved with us all and it just felt like another friend was there. And most importantly, we all felt absolutely amazing! I felt the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my whole life.

If you're thinking of booking Gemma, DO IT! You won't regret it.

Gemma, thank you so so much 🥰🥹💘

Curly Hair updo AMAZING!!!!

Gemma made me feel confident with her doing my Wedding hair. I had been told by a couple of hairstylists they didn't feel confident to do natural curly hair. So I was relieved Gemma was happy to and was confident with the photos I sent of ideas. Meeting Gemma at my trial and what a lovely person she is, I knew I was in capable hands. I was very pleased with my trial with just a few tweaks to be done on the Wedding Day.
Gemma kept in contact leading up to the Wedding answering any questions.
On the Wedding Morning, Gemma arrived promptly and had a lovely calming aura even arriving with milk as we had forgotten to any to our airbnb and helping with a Bridesmaid dress malfunction, supporting the Bridesmaids to keep it quiet from me so as not to stress me....Gemma loved the accommodation and gardens where we were staying which also helped with the calmness of the morning.
Gemma did my hair and the hair of my 2 Bridesmaids the whole morning felt so calm and relaxed, working together with the MUA. My Bridesmaids absolutely loved their hairstyles, Gemma worked with their ideas to perfection!!
Being a naturally curly hair Bride, I didn't feel nervous how my hair was going to look as Gemma reassured me as she was pinning my hair up. Gemma made my dream hairstyle and vision come true, natural curls, soft and romantic with loose curls tumbling down. Gemma embraced my natural curls not wanting to overtong them and keep them in their natural form. My hair held all day as did the Bridesmaids.
Gemma positioned my hair piece beautifully then placed my veil and made sure it was secure.
I can't thank Gemma enough for helping me feel beautiful on my Wedding Day, I am so grateful!
Gemma is professional, calm and amazing as a hair stylist, if you are looking for a hair stylist for your Wedding book Gemma without hesitation!! Thankyou Gemma xx

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!

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
