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! 🤍

Beautiful Wedding Hair Starts Here

Holly was so welcoming and open to ideas for my wedding hair. I had multiple trials with her and each time we tweaked the style until I was happy. On the big day Holly was a calming presence and did a beautiful job of my hair and my two bridesmaids. My loose waves lasted all day with my headpiece well secured. Thank you Holly for being so professional and friendly.

Dream hair for a dream wedding

Holly is not only a very talented hairdresser, she is super friendly, calm and professional. It's so easy for a wedding to become stressful, but it doesn't need to be when you have the right people around you. I even changed my mind about my hair style and she didn't bat an eyelid, got me back in for a trial and understood what changes I wanted even without me being able to articulate them very well! She adapted and carried on, and the outcome was perfect. She also my bridesmaids hair, they were gorgeous and super happy. Holly's services are great value for money too, which is a bonus. I'd recommended her all day long, every day!

Exceptional!

I can’t thank Holly enough for the incredible job she did with my wedding hair, and the hair of my maid of honour and bridesmaid.

From the trial right through to the wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to be around. She was friendly, professional, and so talented. She took the time to really listen to our ideas while also offering advice that suited our theme, dresses, and personal styles perfectly.

On the day itself, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, even helping my dad with his hair!

Our hairstyles looked beautiful all day and photographed incredibly well.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to any bride looking for someone who’s not only skilled and creative, but also genuinely caring and supportive throughout the whole process.

Couldn’t ask for more

Holly was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

We had a hair trial a few months before the big day, where she took the time to go through different style options for my hair type and help me find the perfect look, including how to place my veil just right.

On my wedding day, she was right on time, super professional, and such a lovely, calming presence to have around. She created stunning hairstyles for me and my bridesmaids, and they lasted beautifully all day and night.

Holly made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Couldn’t recommend her more!

The best Hairdresser

Holly went above and beyond. My hair vision came to life and I felt absolutely beautiful on my day. Holly was so lovely and she put me at ease instantly. She made sure that when she left my hair trial she knew what I wanted. Holly did mu hair, 1 bridedmaid and MOB. Holly stayed with me until the very end. Helped me with touch ups and with my dress. Nothing was too much trouble. Holly even bought me a gift. I couldn't of asked for anyone better. Not only did I get the hair I wanted I made a new friend. Cant thank Holly enough. Holly even sent me pictures and video from getting ready.

Bridal party hair

I honestly can’t thank Holly enough for everything she did for my wedding day. She stepped in at short notice and completely exceeded all expectations. From the very first message, she was so kind, responsive, and reassuring — exactly what I needed during a stressful time! She came to my house for a hair trial just a week after booking, and instantly made me feel comfortable and confident.

On the day itself, she was incredible. She created the most beautiful hairstyles for me, my three bridesmaids, and our parents — everyone looked amazing and felt so special. She brought such a calm and positive energy to the morning, and I’m so grateful she was part of our day. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist or a lovelier person. Thank you so much, Holly 💕

It’s always Holly!

I simply would not have trusted anyone else to do my wedding hair! It was always Holly.
Holly was amazing from start to finish, arriving bright and early ant the beggining and finalising finishing touches as I walked out the door! . She was as excited about the wedding as we were, she was easy to chat to about styles before the trial: was honest and happy to try anything I had in mind, she also discussed styles that would suit me and current trends and also styles that would compliment my dress.
I had a beautiful handmade headband, that Holly absolutely loved, and although I didn’t have an “up do” it still felt special and beautiful for the big day.
Not only was Holly there for me but also my mum, she provided exactly the same service to her at the trial and on the day.
It was a pleasure to have Holly around on the morning of the wedding, with her big smile and relaxed easy vibe. Wish I could do it all again, thanks Holly for being you!

Exactly what you're looking for

Holly did mine and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding in 2023.

We met for 2 trials prior to the big day which made me feel really comfortable and confident I would end up with exactly what I was looking for.

On the day Holly was punctual and brought a wonderful smile and atmosphere with her. She is personable, getting on with everyone in the room and kept us all on schedule with no rushing.

I am so pleased I chose Holly. I urge you to make the same excellent choice I did.

Thank you again, Holly x

Holly made my dreams come true.

Holly did my wedding hair in 2023 and she took on board all of my visions and created a style just for me.
Holly is so calming to be around and just what you need before you get married, she is so friendly and caring. I would recommend Holly highly to any bride, bridesmaid or wedding guest.

Amazing thought the morning! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much, Holly, for all your help on my wedding day. I truly appreciated you stepping in at short notice — you were an absolute lifesaver!

You made my hair look absolutely amazing and made me feel like a princess for the day.
The bridesmaids all looked wonderful and were so pleased with their hairstyles too — we had so many compliments.

It was such a pleasure meeting you. You made us all feel so comfortable, and your communication was excellent throughout — from the trial right up to the big day.

We honestly can’t thank you or recommend you enough. We really appreciated your time, and nothing was too much trouble — even when we had to change locations!

You were so lovely and professional throughout, and we all got along so well.

Holly is amazing!

From the moment I had my trail to my big day, holly had all the knowledge about all products (I’ve even purchased some as my hair never held a curl until now). Instantly felt comfortable and relaxed in hollys presence and it continued on my big day too. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Holly!

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.

Holly x
