Bridal hair

To anyone who's thinking of booking Emily, I'd say do it, you won't regret it!
I had a clear vision of an updo for my wedding hair and came across a photo of something Emily did that was similar. My trail was very relaxed and in her home studio in the garden. I didn't think it would get any better than our initial hello at the door to sitting down discussing ideas over a lovely cup of tea but then her gorgeous doggy got released for cuddles.

On the wedding day Emily was prompt with no delays, brought an extra pair of hands to ensure the morning ran smoothly. I wanted to tweak slightly and she did so with no concerns. Emily really brought the vibes.

My hair stayed put all day. The veil was secured and stood up against the wind. The extra bonus was I left with no "hair do headache".

Her prices are competitive and she really goes above and beyond answering all questions I had before the big day.

I'm now trying to figure out when I can book Emily again just to witness her craft and be pampered.

Thank you so much

Thank you Emily ❤️

I honestly can’t recommend Emily enough!

Emily first did my hair for my best friend’s wedding last year, and I absolutely loved it. I knew straight away that I wanted to book her for my own wedding.

On the morning of my wedding, she styled my hair, my sister’s, my mum’s and my auntie’s, and every one of us was so happy with our hair. Everyone looked amazing, and our hairstyles stayed in throughout the day.

Not only is Emily incredibly talented, but she’s also one of the loveliest, kindest people you could have with you on your wedding morning. She made us all feel so relaxed, and it was such a calm, enjoyable experience.

Thank you so much for helping make my wedding morning so special. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily to any bride looking for a hairstylist! 🩷

Princess curls that lasted all day!

Emily welcomed me into her home, made my mum and I a drink and showed me some hair designs. She chatted away to me as she did my hair and I knew I had picked a great person to have on my wedding day. I knew she would get on really well with everyone on the morning of the wedding.
On the day, Emily was such a calming presence (especially when the zip on my wedding dress broke!). She did everyone’s hair, chatting quietly to them, taking an interest in what they had to say, getting to know everyone who sat in her chair. As the bride, I was absolutely thrilled with the beauty of the hairstyles she did for my bridesmaids. I had so many compliments about my hair and the curls (and there were lots because I had extensions) were just perfect and they held ALL DAY! I keep looking back at pictures of my hair and, honestly, it was better than I ever expected my hair would look.
Leading up to the wedding she gave me advice about where to get hair extensions from and what length I needed. She made the minefield of extensions super easy. She also very kindly leant me her own tiara as I just couldn’t find one I liked. I can’t thank Emily enough for all of her patience, creativity and kindness. She patiently stood with me as my bridesmaids tried to fix my dress and didn’t leave my side until the chaos was over even though she could have gone home. Thank you so much Emily!!

Absolutely Amazing!

I booked Emily to do our hair for my wedding day, and she was incredible! We were a group of seven, and from the very start, the communication was seamless. She is not only talented and professional but also so lovely and easy to work with. She styled each of us exactly how we had envisioned, and we could not have been happier with the results.
Thank you, Emily, for all your hard work and for making the entire experience so enjoyable and stress-free.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
