About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: November 2026

Welcome to Holly Amanda Bespoke Hair, I am a wedding and occasion hairstylist based in Harwich, Essex, specialising in creating bespoke hairstyles for nearlyweds and their wedding parties. With over 20 years of experience as a professional hairdresser, including running my own salon, I have an expert knowledge of every element of hair, from cutting and colouring to extensions and styling. My work has also been recognised at the UK Hair & Beauty Awards 2025, where i placed in the Top 100 Stylists nationwide (61st place), a reflection of my skill, creativity and dedication.

Services Offered

Couples choose me not only for my artistry but also for my calm, friendly presence on a wedding morning. I understand how important it is to feel confident, comfortable, and relaxed, ensuring every detail is thought through. I also offer Beauty Works extensions (tapes, nano rings and Invisi® tapes), with full consultation and colour matching included. On a wedding day, the most popular choice is Beauty Works clip-in extensions, perfect for adding natural fullness and length. I even offer a clip-in hire service for people who want the luxe look without the long-term investment, an ideal option if you’re working to a budget. I work closely with everyone during consultations and trials to ensure the hairstyle is exactly what they envision, while also lasting beautifully from “I do” through to the final dance. I ensure the whole wedding party feels like the best version of themselves.

Honestly amazing!

Holly actually stepped in last minute when my original hairdresser couldn’t attend, which naturally made me nervous as the bride! But she was AMAZING from the off - happy to jump on a call and discuss everything as we didn’t have a trial, super quick to respond to messages, and on the day she was fantastic - really reassured me!

My hair vision was bought to life and she had extra extensions to hand when we had a hiccup with mine so I didn’t have to worry! I felt so beautiful and so many people complimented my hair!

She was super punctual and professional and even offered to stay and help with anything I needed after my veil and dress was on and even got some fab pics and vids of everything going on!

Holly made everyone getting ready in the morning comfortable and all the bridesmaids commented how lovely their hair looked and how lovely she is!

BOOK her for your wedding! 🤍

Bridal hair of dreams 👰🏻‍♀️

What can I say about Holly and her work. Right from the get go she was super friendly and approachable. She was quick to give me a quote for my bridal hair and my mums, it was also super reasonable ☺️. For my trial she came to my house and I knew I had chosen the right person to help me on my special day, she’s an absolute perfectionist in her work and was super open to ideas and any tweaks I wanted to make. She made me feel nothing but relaxed and this continued through to the big day even the night before she checked in to see how I was. She completely fit the vibe of the day which was relaxed and chilled, she used the best products and made sure I was ok right up till it was time to walk down the aisle. She helped me get into my dress and made sure I was nothing but happy with how I looked. My hair was perfection, it lasted all night after many hours of dancing to the band and making smores over the firepit. Thank you again Holly, not only for being the best in your work but also for being such a lovely person and for my little gifts on the day xx

What a gem 💎

I honestly cannot recommend Holly enough! My hair was better than I could’ve ever imagined and she made me feel so confident on my wedding day. She was so calm which is what every bride needs, and due to it being a small wedding I didn’t have any bridesmaids but Holly was so helpful with getting bits ready for me. She has always been so responsive whenever I have been in touch, from the first time I contacted right through to after the wedding. Having someone around you who is so relaxed on such a special day really does make all the difference, thank you so much Holly 🩷 xxx

Thank you will never be enough x

Holly is the person that makes all your bridal dreams come true! From the very first time we made contact, she was so kind, caring and professional and offered so much advice before I’d even booked her!

I wasn’t sure how to achieve the hairstyle I had always dreamed of, but Holly was so patient, understanding and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. She listened to every little detail, never made me feel like I was asking for too much, and worked her magic.

On my wedding day, she made all those dreams come true and more! My hair was everything I had ever hoped for!

Holly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on one of the most important days of my life. You went above and beyond, and I will always be so grateful that you were part of our wedding day. If you’re looking for a bridal hairstylist who is not only exceptionally talented but also genuinely cares and will be your biggest cheerleader and bonus friend, then Holly is your girl! I couldn’t recommend her more highly xx

August 26 wedding

Holly did my hair for me on my wedding day. She was absolutely amazing I couldn’t have asked for more. She made me look stunning and although I decided on a different style from my trial she wasn’t fazed at all: she made my daughters dreams come true with her hair and made my mum and friend look stunning. I really couldn’t recommend her enough

Bridal hair perfection 🤍

I honestly couldn’t recommend Holly enough! From the moment I booked, she was so lovely, friendly and professional, and made me feel completely at ease.

I had two trials and Holly listened to what I wanted, paid so much attention to detail and made me feel so beautiful and confident.My hair stayed perfect throughout the whole day and night, even after all the dancing! My bridal hair was absolutely perfect and exactly what I had dreamed of for my wedding day.

Thank you so much for being such a lovely part of our wedding morning and for helping make my day so special. I’m so glad I chose you! 🤍✨

Thank you will never be enough

Thank you really doesn’t seem to be enough! Holly went above and beyond for my wedding day! In fact from the moment I booked with Holly she was nothing but supportive, patient & kind. My hair looked stunning and it was exactly what I envisioned!! So many people complimented my hair, Holly is so incredibly talented. Paid attention to every little detail and truly made me feel so beautiful- for someone so self conscious this was an impossible task but Holly nailed it. Holly is such a beautiful soul inside & out! Any bride that books will not regret it. I’m so glad I come across Holly because I couldn’t imagine anyone else comparing x

Amazing hair stylist ✨

I honestly couldn’t recommend Holly enough! She was amazing from start to finish. She listened to exactly what I wanted and when I decided on the day that I wanted my curls a little looser than at my trial, she completely understood and made sure I felt like myself.

She kept me so relaxed throughout the morning and stayed right up until we had to leave for the wedding. She also did such a beautiful job on my little girl’s hair and my mother-in-law’s, and even helped with little bits throughout the morning. She really went above and beyond and made the whole morning feel so calm and special.

Thank you so much Holly! I would 100% recommend her 🤍

Lovely hairdresser, beautiful hair

I couldn't recommend Holly enough as a bridal hair stylist. The trial was really helpful and Holly gave me lots of guidance about what to take to my hairdresser for a pre-wedding cut. On the day itself Holly did bridesmaids, MOB and my hair perfectly and we were all so happy with how it looked. My hair stayed in place all night and still looked lovely later on. Holly couldn't have been more helpful from doing the buttons on my dress to taking photos as I left the house. Thank you Holly!

Absolutely amazing!

I booked Holly to do my hair along with 3 Bridesmaids and my Mums on my wedding day and from the moment we met on the trial day I loved her! Holly is such a lovely person to talk to and have around on your wedding morning. I absolutely loved my hair during the trial and even more so on my wedding day. Even my now husband commented on how amazing it looked (something he hardly does)!

Holly went above and beyond on my wedding morning, helping do up my dress as my Bridesmaids were busy with other bits and even helped me add the finishing touches. I can’t recommend Holly enough, book her! You will not be disappointed x

Great hair stylist

Amazing wedding hairstylist! She made both the bride and the mother of the groom feel so calm and relaxed on the morning of the wedding. Our hair looked beautiful, and it was great to have the option of adding extensions to create the perfect look. We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend her!

Holly is fabulous!

Holly made me feel at ease straight away and completely understood my vision for the day. My hair looked amazing and stayed that way all day and night. My 3 bridesmaids had very elegant up dos which looked stunning and my 10 year old niece had the best time having her hair done for the first time. I cannot fault Holly or her work it was exceptional and she even waited to help me get into my wedding car. She made my wedding morning feel very special and relaxed. Thankyou so much Holly!

Highly recommend

Holly was great from start to finish with supporting with style ideas and giving advice based of style of dress. My hair looked exactly like the trial. not only was holly the hair dresser she was on hand on the day for support with everything else as well! She was happy to accommodate last minute bridesmaids hair changes because of the heat and even with the heat my hair stayed in place all day. Would highly recommend

Hi, im Holly - the stylist behind Holly Amanda Bespoke Hair.

With over 20 years experiance in the hair industry i started my career in salons from a young age before running my own successful salon for many years. After becoming a mum,i decided to step away from the salon to focus on my little boy and family life.

Inn October 2024, i sadly lost my mum very suddenly. After taking some time to process and heal, I felt a strong pull back to the industry- not only because hairstylin has always been my passion,but also in honour of my mum, who adored my bridal work and was so proud of me. Returning to has felt like coming home.

In March this year, i launched my bespoke bridal and event hairstyling business, and i havent looked back.My return has been filed with love, creativity and exciment, and its a privilege to be part of such special moments with my brides.

Outside of work , Im a mum to my energetic three year old little boy and a dog mum to a very cheeky French bulldog- both keep me very busy and very loved. Im passionate about staying healthy, love anything fashion or beauty related, and you usually find me with a caramel latte or black tea in hand while working on admin or looking for bridal trend inspiration.

Im here to support you every step of the way and bring your dream bridal vision to life.
