I’m finding it really hard to summarise my experience because I can’t thank GeGe’s salon enough. The whole team went above and beyond in the lead up to my wedding day and then afterwards, especially Gemma! Everyone made me and my bridal party feel so at home and at ease, nothing was too much for Gemma to do. Initially we had a telephone consultation to talk about my vision, we were then invited in for our hair and make up trials where we had nibbles and some Prosecco! Before the wedding I had my eyebrows and nails done. It all started to feel a little real once this was done! Gemma arrived promptly to my family home to start on my bridal party’s hair and make up! We didn’t have a photographer at the house initially but Gemma definitely took on that role and captured some really special moments and those all important TikTok transitions! After the wedding, as part of the package I purchased, I was given a complimentary facial which was the perfect close to our wedding celebrations. Since getting married I have been back to GeGe’s a few times and I can promise that you have a customer for life (including the other family members that I have brought along to book in!).

Gemma paid such close attention to the little details and was so supportive before, during and after the wedding!

Thank you isn’t enough and I’m so glad that I found your beautiful salon with such wonderful staff!

Gemma has been transforming my hair for the past year leading up to my wedding. She is professional, kind and honest. She has been like a silent bridesmaid to me in the past year, helping me build my vision both in hair and make up, providing sound advice on how to look after my hair and always there when I have questions. Gemma has given me huge confidence in myself, her hair work has been out of this world. I was worried that as my hairstyle was very untraditional that no salon would be able to achieve it but she absolutely smashed it!! She has been so kind honest and patient with me leading up to my wedding and it has felt like I've made a true friend and at times an agony aunt 😂. She is like an extension guru, everytime I have them redone they look amazing! See before and after pictures for my very first set of extensions. On my wedding day, Gemma executed the look we had been building all year so well it made me happy cry! She went above and beyond to make my day perfect, she even helped my Man of Honour do up my corset and made it look perfect. Just perfect work, I cannot thank her enough for making my vision become reality. Gemma's team are also incredible, they always make me feel so welcome, listen to my concerns and we have a laugh every time I visit. The girls are all so friendly and professional. Emma is fantastic at eyebrows and nails and has given me huge confidence with this as well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart girls! If you want a salon to reassure you, work with you, give honest and real advice and listen to exactly what you want then these are your girls ❤️

Gemma and her team were amazing from start to finish. With myself, 6 bridesmaids and a few family members wanting hair and make up doing. I was dreading finding someone who could accommodate us. Gemma was organised, professional and made me feel so at ease. Everything was scheduled and went perfectly. Price was amazing and communication was outstanding. Would recommend to anyone.

Thankyou Gemma, you made me feel like a princess. I appreciate your patience as I don’t have a lot of experience with makeup.
My girls all looked beautiful, thanks to you and your team. Thankyou too for helping me with my dress mishap and relacing my dress.

I met Gemma at a wedding fair at the venue we had picked to get married and straight away knew I wanted her to do my hair and make up for my wedding. She was friendly and kind.
I started to get my hair done with her before the wedding to get my hair colour the way I wanted.
On the day of the wedding she didn’t just make me look like a princess, she made me feel like one.
She also kept me calm with all the chaos in the room and reminded me my mum was there to help with my son.
My mum also had her hair and make up done by Gemma and loved it.
Gemma also helped when it came to getting in my dress and with the corset back. She managed to take pictures of me at the alter and walking with my dad.

I can’t recommend Gemma enough. She is amazing.

Thank you to Gemma for making me and my bridesmaids feel like absolute princesses on my wedding day at the start of May. Gemma added an air of calm and humour to the morning, and made us all feel relaxed as she then also made us look beautiful.

We all looked amazing, and our hair and make up lasted throughout the wedding day, and well into the early hours!

I'm so glad to have found Gemma; she honestly made us look fabulous.

We had the best time! Gemma made us all feel super calm with her fun TikTok videos and content she gave us with the sun shinning all morning we were able to get ready outside and Gemma was so amazing making us all feel absolutely amazing I loved my hair and makeup I also had a balayage done with Gemma at her salon before my wedding as well as a manicure and pedicure and it all just made everything flow together so nicely
it was exactly as I wanted and all my bridesmaids felt like superstars including the teenager 😃

Thank you so much for everything

Gemma is very professional. She made my sister look absolutely beautiful. She is not only amazing at what she does she becomes your wedding day BF keeping the bride calm and making sure the day runs smoothly. I also had the honour to have my hair and make up done by Gemma and all I can say is WOW if I knew about her last year I would have flown her out to Italy for my wedding day 100%! Thank you Gemma for everything you made us all feel beautiful.

What can I say I met Gemma at a wedding fair in the summer when planing both mine and my daughters weddings. From the outset Gemma stood out from other hair and makeup stylists at the venue. Her understanding and professionalism was on point right from the start and not afraid to say no to her new clients.
Gemma had interesting ideas which showed her experience in this field both hair and makeup. We were both taken with her and visited her salon to have our trials in a comfortable environment enjoying tapas and bubbles whilst experimenting ideas. This showed us her attention to detail and what was to come on the day and I didn't disappoint....

Love supporting local and I did with Gege.
Great fun and a lovely experience all round. My make up was natural as requested and as someone who doesn’t wear much makeup was so relieved it didn’t look caked on.
Would recommend

My best friend was getting married and I was one of the bridesmaids. The bride, myself and the other bridesmaids all had a hair / make up trial done before the wedding. The trial was soo much fun we all had our hair done how we would potentially like it on the wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding day and Gemma was amazing! She done my make up beautifully I was soo pleased with the finished look! Also my hair was lovely! even better than the trial style! Overall I would highly recommend Gemma not only is she friendly, helpful and professional but she also has a great eye for detail. She even filmed us doing the ‘before and after’ edit which was 10/10!
We all looked amazing!
Thank you so much Gemma 💜
Highly recommend!

Gemma was a brilliant help for my wedding - she was organised and efficient and we were ready ahead of schedule!! Great communication and she and her assistant were warm and friendly and put us all at ease. She was accommodating when I changed my hair vision few weeks out and I absolutely loved my hair which stayed all day. Would 100% recommend!!

I found Gem at a Wedding fair in 2023. I'd had good experience with Gems salon year's ago, so decided to have Gem for my wedding hair and makup - but I don't do things by halves. I decided I wanted to change my hair colour from very dark to blonde - I booked in with Gem, and hours later, I was blonde and l loved it. Months later, myself and my bridesmaids all came in for a fabulous morning of hair trials. My bridesmaids hair looked beautiful, and for the first time I tried clip-in hair extensions in my short whispy hair, which again I loved. I didn't think I'd be able to cope with long hair, but another few months later I took the plunge and decided to have micro rings
hair extensions for my wedding. I'm so in love with it, I decided to keep them in now.
In my years of going to hairdressers, I can honestly say I would never go anywhere else now. Coming to Salon of Gems is like sitting in your mates living room - a cuppa tea, a laugh, a rant and a good pamper.
My wedding day was made so much more special with having Gem doing hair and makup for myself and my 6 bridesmaids - with a 5.30 am start, Gem knew exactly what she was doing and what needed to be done. This isn't just a job for Gem, but a love and a passion for making each and every one of her brides and bridesmaids feel so special. Thank you Gem for being you.

I can’t recommend Gemma enough. She made my wedding day feel really special

I had my wedding in August and Gemma was amazing throughout the whole process!
I felt at ease the whole time during the trial and on the day, she also provided a lovely charcuterie board which is always a bonus!
I had so many wonderful comments on my hair and make up on the day and truly felt a million dollars!
I would highly recommend to absolutely anyone with an upcoming wedding!
