Simply the best!



Liz is an absolutely amazing hairdresser

From the very first trial, Liz put me completely at ease. She’s so lovely, friendly and genuinely listened to what I wanted, you can tell how experienced she is, which made the whole process feel stress free. She was super responsive throughout and honestly couldn’t have been more flexible, even when people changed their minds last minute.

On the day she handled our chaotic kids like an absolute pro, kept everyone calm, and somehow still made every single hairstyle look incredible. Most importantly, the hair stayed in all day and night. Everyone looked amazing, despite it being over 30 degrees that day!

She’s also very reasonably priced for the quality and care she gives. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Thank you so much

We honestly couldn’t recommend Liz enough!

From the moment we met Liz she was absolutely lovely, professional and made us feel completely at ease. Having someone looking after our hair and makeup on such an important and emotional morning could have felt stressful, but Liz made the whole experience relaxed.

Liz was such a calming presence on the morning of our wedding, and we’re so grateful she was part of such a special day. Her professionalism even went beyond just hair and make up in the fact she helped us with the practicalities of the morning.

Despite the extreme heat of the day, both bride makeup lasted as did our hair.

Thank you so much, Liz, for helping make our morning so memorable and for making us all feel absolutely beautiful.

Wedding Guest Updo

I contacted Liz at the last moment to see if she could squeeze me in for an Updo for a wedding I was attending. Although she was going away that day, she managed to fit me in. She was so friendly and professional and made my hair look beautiful. I had so many compliments throughout the day, and it stayed in place all day. Would highly recommend her services.

Mother of the Groom, make up & hair

Booked Liz for my Mum - the Mother of the Groom. For someone who usually prefers to not be centre or attention or even have her photo taken. I wanted my Mum to feel special and look, and feel her best. It was such a lovely feeling to see my Mum be pampered by Liz, made to feel comfortable, and made to feel amazing for one very important day. Thank you so much for being part of such a wonderful occasion Liz, can’t thank you enough, and for making my Mum feel truly beautiful. ❤️

Wedding 25/07/26

Liz was amazing from trial to the big day and I could message her at anytime and she would get back to me.
The trial we spoke about how I wanted my hair and makeup and went through how the veil would sit and the hair pieces I would use!
On the big day Liz arrived early and was a calming presence. We went for zip tie method for my veil which worked so well and would recommend anyone having an outside wedding and was easy to remove for the evening.
My hair and makeup stayed on till the following morning!
I can not recommend Liz enough!
Thank you for being part of my day!!

Exceptional! Would recommend for your special day.

From start to finish Liz was easy to deal with, offers fantastic value for money, communicated effectively including when I was sharing info on what styles the party wanted, and was a calming presence on the day itself. She managed to bring everyone's ideas to life for both of the brides and the bridesmaids and everyone's hair still looked fabulous by the end of the night!

INCREDIBLE Hairstylist 5 ⭐️

I booked liz to do my wedding hair after seeing her incredible work on instagram, and I so glad I did! I gave her ideas / styles I had in mind and she created something better than I imagined. I felt absolutely beautiful and so did my bridesmaids. I got married during the heatwave, threw myself around on the dance floor, and it’s safe to say my hair survived! Even my dress didn’t survive and got ripped 🤣
I was sad to take it out at the end of the night, I will definitely be booking again for any future events! Amazing and kind personality, and very good prices too! Liz doesn’t bump the price up for “wedding tax” as such like other stylists seem to do. Thankyou again for an amazing experience. ❤️

Wedding guest hair

Liz did an amazing job with my hair, she improvised with the plait in my hair and I had compliments all day about my hair especially about the plait, my hair stayed put for 12 hours and would have done longer even whilst chasing a 3 year old

The Best Bridal Hair Experience 🤍

I can't recommend Liz enough! She was so kind, helpful, and supportive throughout the whole process, and made everything feel so easy from start to finish. I absolutely loved my wedding hair and felt so beautiful. She also did my maid of honour's hair, and we were both so happy with the results. She even took lovely videos, which was such a thoughtful touch that I'll always treasure. I'm so grateful she was part of our wedding day. Thank you so much, Liz! x

Wedding Hair - 20.06.2026

I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding hair. From the very beginning, Liz was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. She was professional throughout and took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted.

I showed her a few inspiration pictures, and she recreated the style perfectly. My hair looked even better than I had imagined and stayed beautiful throughout the day. Her attention to detail and expertise really showed, and I received so many compliments on my hair.

I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented, reliable, good value for money and professional wedding hairdresser.

The wonderful Liz!

Liz did my wedding makeup and I couldn't have been happier with the result. She was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease on such an important day. My makeup looked beautiful, felt comfortable, and lasted all day and night. My husband couldn’t stop saying how beautiful I looked.

Liz also did my mother-in-law's hair and makeup. At 78 years old, she had never worn makeup or had this kind of experience before, and Liz made her feel so comfortable and special. She looked absolutely wonderful.

Liz also styled my two teenage bridesmaids, who both looked beautiful and felt confident for the day. She even managed to put my father-in-law's hair into a lovely little ponytail!

I received so many compliments and would highly recommend Liz to any bride-to-be.
