Lisa & Paul’s wedding @ Leeds Castle

I honestly cannot recommend Ashleigh enough! From the moment I booked her, we had such lovely communication throughout the whole process, from my initial booking and hair trial right through to my wedding day and even now. She has always been so friendly, thoughtful, caring and easy-going, and I’ve genuinely loved getting to know her along the way.

I have to mention our little private joke too… when I first booked Ashleigh, I genuinely thought she was in a relationship with Olly Murs! 😂 It’s one of those silly things that has made me laugh throughout the whole experience and just shows how comfortable and easy she is to talk to.

On the morning of my wedding, I actually changed my mind about my hair, which could have been a complete nightmare, but Ashleigh was so understanding and just took it all in her stride. She worked her magic and made my hair look absolutely beautiful, and she did an equally amazing job with all of my bridesmaids and mother of the Bride. We all looked and felt amazing!

My daughter suffers with anxiety and panic attacks, and unfortunately this happened on the morning of my wedding. I asked Ashleigh if she would be able to do my daughter’s hair to help make her feel better and take her mind off things. Even though this wasn’t something that had originally been booked, Ashleigh didn’t hesitate to say yes. That meant so much to me and really helped my daughter through what was already a very emotional morning.

The morning itself was incredibly hectic and we were running short on time, but Ashleigh went above and beyond. She stayed around and helped me get into my wedding dress and even helped with all the final little touches before I left. It was so much more than simply doing my hair — she genuinely cared about making sure I was okay and that everything was perfect.

Ashleigh is so easy-going, easy to get along with and just such a lovely person to have around, especially on such an important and emotional day. I honestly feel so lucky that I found her.

I can confidently say that I have now found my forever hairdresser! ❤️ I’m so grateful for everything Ashleigh did for me, my daughter and my bridesmaids, and I’ll definitely be going back to her for all my usual hair upkeep.

Thank you so much, Ashleigh, for being absolutely amazing, for going above and beyond and for making my wedding morning even more special than I could have imagined. ❤️

Lots of Love

Stunning wedding hair for my countryside wedding!

I would absolutely love to thank Ashleigh from Ashleigh Buntings Hair for creating the most gorgeous hairstyles for my wedding day. She was honestly amazing from start to finish, and I couldn’t have been happier with how my hair turned out.

I was quite nervous going into my hair trial as I can be quite fussy when it comes to my hair and, to make matters worse, I was also hungover that morning! Despite this, Ashleigh completely put me at ease and absolutely nailed it on the very first attempt. I genuinely didn’t feel the need to make a single change. I knew straight away that it was exactly what I wanted, which was such a relief.

She also kindly offered to keep my hair extensions and curl them for me ahead of the wedding, which was such a thoughtful touch and one less thing for me to worry about in the lead-up to the day.

Ashleigh has such a relaxed, warm and chatty personality, which really helps you feel comfortable and completely at ease. On a day that can naturally feel quite hectic and overwhelming, having someone calm and friendly around you makes such a difference. Despite being so easy-going, it was also very clear that Ashleigh knows exactly what she is doing. She was professional, organised and incredibly skilled, and everything felt completely seamless.

On the wedding morning, she absolutely nailed my bridal hairstyle. It looked beautiful from every angle and stayed perfect throughout the entire day. She even took the time to show my sister how to carefully remove the comb from my veil, which was such a helpful little detail and showed just how thoughtful she was.

Ashleigh also created the most beautiful hairstyles for my two bridesmaids. Both looked so polished yet romantic, chic and stunning, and she even trimmed one bridesmaid’s fringes when it had become a little unruly before the wedding. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made sure everyone felt confident and looked their absolute best.

When we were all finished, the three of us genuinely felt like we had stepped straight out of a bridal magazine! Our hairstyles complemented each other perfectly, and I received so many lovely comments throughout the day.

Ashleigh is incredibly professional, talented and clearly a master of her craft, but what makes her even more special is how effortlessly she puts you at ease. She played such a lovely part in making my wedding morning feel relaxed, enjoyable and completely stress-free.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ashleigh to any bride looking for a talented, reliable and genuinely lovely hair stylist. Thank you so much, Ashleigh, for making us all feel so beautiful and for helping make my wedding day even more special! ❤️❤️

Highly recommend!

Ashleigh was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She guided me through my entire wedding hair journey, from helping me choose and fit extensions to getting my colour absolutely perfect in the months leading up to the big day. Her advice, patience and attention to detail gave me so much confidence that my hair would be exactly how I imagined.

On the wedding morning, she was so calm, organised and such a lovely person to have around. She not only created the most beautiful hairstyle for me, but also styled all of my bridesmaids’ hair. Every one of them wanted something completely different, and Ashleigh absolutely nailed every single look. Everyone looked amazing, and each hairstyle suited them perfectly.

My hair stayed in place all day and night, despite all the dancing, and I had so many compliments. I genuinely couldn’t have been happier.

If you’re looking for a talented, professional hairdresser who truly cares and goes above and beyond, I couldn’t recommend Ashleigh more. Thank you for making me and my bridal party feel so special and helping us all look our best on such an important day!

Absolutely perfect from trial to wedding day!

I honestly couldn't recommend Ashleigh enough!

From all the appointments before and then my trial right through to my wedding morning, she was absolutely amazing. She completely understood the look I was going for and created the most beautiful hairstyle that was exactly what I'd envisioned. It looked incredible all day and night, despite the warm weather, and I had so many compliments.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also such a lovely, calming presence to have around on the morning of your wedding. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, and she styled not only my hair but my bridesmaids' and mum's beautifully too.

Thank you so much for making me feel so confident and beautiful on such a special day. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist and would recommend Ashleigh to any bride without hesitation! 🤍

Absolutely adored my wedding hair!

Can’t thank Ashleigh enough for my wonderful bridal hair. We did a couple of trials to try different options and decided on 20inch extensions and Hollywood wave. My hair held perfectly all day and night and absolutely loved it! Thankyou so much! X

Annemarie & Adam's Wedding 16/05/26

Ashleigh did myself and my bridesmaids hair. Ashleigh was very professional and made me feel and look amazing. She made us feel relaxed and asked us questions about the style we wanted and offered tweaks so the hairstyles suited the individual and would last throughout the day/night. Ashleigh is value for money. I had clip in Hair extensions that Ashleigh put in, I have never had them before and she told me prices and the best option and the after care for them. The price for myself and my bridesmaids and including my Hair extensions and the trial all came into my budget. Ashleigh is a God send for my hair and I would 100 percent recommend her to do your hair. One of my bridesmaids has already got Ashleigh's information to do her her for her upcoming wedding.

Amazing hairdresser!

I couldn’t have asked for a better hairdresser for the big day. Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She styled hair for the me, four bridesmaids, and the mother of the bride, and every single one of us was so pleased with the results.
Ashleigh was incredibly easy-going, which made the whole morning feel relaxed and enjoyable. At the same time, her skill and attention to detail were outstanding—every hairstyle looked beautiful and lasted perfectly throughout the day.
What really stood out was how well Ashleigh listened to each of us. Everyone had slightly different ideas and preferences, and she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, making sure we all felt confident and happy with our final look.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashleigh to anyone. Truly a talented and lovely professional who helped make the morning so special.

Amazing!!!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! My wedding hair was everything I hoped for and more. The attention to detail, patience, and skill really showed, and I felt completely confident in their hands.

On the morning of the wedding, everything was so calm and well organised, which helped me relax and enjoy every moment. My hair looked flawless and lasted perfectly all day and into the night
without moving. Not only a fantastic hairdresser but also such a lovely, friendly person to have there on such an important day.

Can’t recommend more!

Ashleigh is lovely, she makes you feel comfortable immediately and you can have a good laugh with her. She knows what she is doing and does it well. She suggested a last minute change to the style on my wedding day and I trusted her completely- she smashed it and make me look and feel like a million dollars.
She is so professional and organised the whole way through. You can tell how much she cares and wants to do her best.
Don’t hesitate to book in with Ashleigh, you will not regret it.

Ashleigh what a hair bridal magician!

Ashleigh what a magician!! All the planning and decisions that go into a wedding can be stressful but for me over the venue, dress, colour scheme was nothing compared to my stress on finding a hairstylist.

I have very thick, long, curly hair. In everyday hair / styles everyone says to me daily “I want your hair” or “oh you have great hair” and yes I am lucky and love my hair but when you mix my hair with Bride - I am someones worst nightmare!! So for me the pressure was on. I was prepared to pay double / triple the normal rate just to secure someone because I knew my hair would be challenging.

I saw Ashleigh’s work from hitched and instagram and fell in love instantly with her up dos - to me she is the Queen of the up do! And I must have spoken to the gods praying she will agree to trail me and she did! I walked in nervous as I thought she might decline me afterwards, but she didn’t and I left with confidence and the up do of my dreams.

Ashleigh is very kind, honest, funny and so talented. Her passion is what sets her aside from anyone else I’ve spoken to and enquired with. On the day not only did she make me feel amazing but she support 2 of my friends and made them feel wonderful too, we all got lovely compliments of our hair and it lasted all night! In the bride room getting ready, Ashleigh was part of the gang joining in conversations, making jokes and made my morning lovely. Please book Ashleigh and look no further, I would never think again on any event I needed hair for now - Ashleigh is perfect! and I wish her all the success as she continues on her journey.

Beautiful Bridal Hair

Ashleigh was fantastic from initial consultation through to the big day. She made me feel so at ease and nothing was too much trouble. After my initial trial (which I loved) I spontaneously opted for something totally different and fully trusted Ashleigh to pull it together without another trial. She's exceptionally talented, great value for money and would recommend to any bride!
