Gorgeous hair stylist! 💖
Lauren is amazing at what she does! I wanted a hair stylist that did clean and sleek updo styles and from looking at her instagram I was so impressed by her work. She was really organised with her timings and prep which made the morning run smoothly. I sent Lauren some photos of my dress and veil and we decided on a low sleek bun and let me tell you, my hair did not budge for the entire day! Not only did Lauren do an immaculate job, she also stayed afterwards to help me put my veil in and showed my Maid of Honour how to remove it without snagging the hair. She went above and beyond, she also helped me sort out all the layers under my dress (thank you!!). I booked Lauren about 18 months in advance and I am so glad I did. I booked for myself, 2 bridesmaids, Mother of Bride, Mother of Groom and my grandma. Everyone’s hair lasted all day and night. Thank you so much to Lauren for doing such an amazing job and making us all look and feel so beautiful on the day! 💖 -

Lauren is THE BEST!!
I'm not one who usually pays for my hair to be styled, even for occasions, so when it come to finding a wedding hair stylist I was lost. I come across Lauren's page through seeing her style other people I knew so I knew she was popular. I had a few trails with her and she did my hair for other occassions and from the first appointment it felt like I'd known her for ages! She is so friendly, chatty and comforting, not to mention EXTREMELY TALENTED!! I am so glad I found Lauren and feel like I've gained a friend in the process! On my wedding day she fit right in with me and my bridal party with her bubbly energy and it felt like having another one of the girls there!! I honestly couldn't recommend enough! Get her booked in if you havent already before she is FULL!
Thank you Lauren!!!-

The Perfect Bridal Hairstylist
Lauren is the best at what she does and I can't recommend her enough. As soon as I booked her, she was on hand to answer questions and made the process stress free. I went for a trial and we discussed how I would want my hair and what would work best with my hair type. We communicated in the lead up to the wedding and on the morning, Lauren discussed the changes I wanted to make and executed them perfectly. Myself, my bridesmaids and both my mam and my mother in law absolutely loved our hair with most of us wearing it to breakfast the next morning still completely in tact! It literally didn't budge, even with the wind and rain making an appearance on the day!
Lauren wasn't just a hairstylist on the morning of my wedding, she was calm reassuring and joined in with the excitement of the day. She helped get me into my wedding dress so I could do my reveal to my family and bridesmaids and worked with the photographers to ensure everything ran smoothly. She is extremely professional, calm yet reassuring and the biggest hype girl!
I cannot recommend her enough, thank you so much!! -

Bridal hair
I booked Lauren about 1.5 years out from my wedding day, not only did her hair page grab me but also her long list of previous fantastic reviews. Lauren was responsive from the get go, making me feel a priority even with so long to go before my big day. She truly values making brides feel special on their day and understands that starts long before the day itself. She’s friendly, professional and always on hand to answer questions no matter how silly they may seem. As someone with long thick hair it can be quite daunting finding someone who can style it well to last and my god Lauren passed all expectations. My hair was truly truly flawless (hair pic is from the trial and speaks for itself!). My mum had a very particular vision for her hair and Lauren delivered it perfectly, and seemingly effortlessly. All of our hairs lasted all day, no touch ups required and most sported their pin ups to breakfast the next day still looking perfect! On the day itself she fitted in amazingly with the bridal party, being calm, singing along and offering distractions when most needed! She also stayed until the very last minute before the ceremony despite being finished long before to get me in my dress and place my veil ensuring I could do my first look without anyone spotting me! I would recommend LAV hairstyling to any bride - she was 10/10 and great value for money. -

Amazing hairstylist
Lauren is amazing at what she does - my hair usually refuses to hold a curl for longer that 30 minutes to an hour - and she made my hair stay curled for the whole day and well into the early hours of the next morning -
She’s extremely understanding and so positive when I advised her of my trichitillomania she was able to ease my anxieties and thought of some solutions that worked with my preferred style , I have already recommended her to a few friends-

The absolute best! ❤️
LAV Hair was amazing from start to finish! I booked my winter wedding for within the year and I was so lucky she was available. Everything was simple and Lauren kept in touch throughout the year. My trial was perfect and just what I wanted. The wedding day itself was seamless. Lauren always made me feel like I was the only person that mattered and focused completely on me. She has an incredible skill set. My bridesmaids and my mum loved their hair so much. My bridal hair was perfect. Honestly couldn’t get any better than LAV! -

Lauren is amazing
Lauren done my full bridal party 11 people and myself (the bride) on 29th dec, honestly I cannot recommend her enough, amazing value for money, so professional and friendly always making everyone feel comfortable. Listens to what the bride wants and gives honest advice, we did a trial a few month before and in that time she supported me with hair care and made it so on the day I could trust her with changing the plan for my hair all together. Lauren then supported me into my dress and ensured my veil and hair were perfect I felt so at ease with her. Honestly 100% recommend LAV Hairstyling-

17th feb 2026 wedding
I had booked Lauren for my Wedding in February. She was easy to communicate with and consistent with messages if I had any queries or issues she would put my mind at ease. I had done my trial in the January thanks to her reminding me ! The trial was goregous and I knew straight away I was in the right hands her hair styling is incredible and she’s an amazing person too.
When it came to the wedding day she communicated with me often and is a breath of fresh air to have in the room while we are getting ready all of my bridesmaids and myself loved our hair it lasted all day and she is so professional and can pretty much do any style. I love how she put me at ease and was easy to talk too considering how stressful it can be. I have thin ish hair and she made it look like I had a lot of hair and added so much volume and it looked beautiful on the pictures alongside my bridesmaids gorgeous hair . Lauren went above and beyond to help me out on the morning like sorting out my niece’s hair which was a very last minute decision and I can’t thank Lauren enough for the little details like helping me steam my dress and helping with my niece getting ready. She is an absolute superstar and I would highly highly recommend her to anyone wanting a hair stylist for their wedding day her skills are incredible but also her as a person. One piece of advice pleas book Lauren for your wedding day and you won’t be disappointed!! -

Wow wow wow!!
Where do I even start? I’m not from the area and relied on recommendations to find a stylist and I was so lucky to come across Lauren. She is incredibly friendly, personable, and instantly makes you feel at ease.
I had a vision of classic Hollywood waves, and wow, did she deliver! From my trial through to my wedding day, I was overjoyed by her creativity and attention to detail.
On the day itself, my hair was absolutely stunning, I truly felt like a movie star! I received so many compliments from my guests, and it’s all thanks to Lauren’s amazing talent.
If you’re a bride looking for the perfect hairstylist, don’t hesitate, book Lauren fast! -
