Simply amazing!

Viv was great from start to finish. The initial communication we had put me totally at ease and she was so friendly I knew she’d be perfect for my day. She was really helpful in the build up and took lots of time at the trial making sure my hair was exactly what I wanted and my moms who also had a trial with Viv. There was 7 of us having hair done on the day, and assisted by Kim, everyone was over the moon. Everyone went for different styles which was no trouble at all for Viv & Kim. Viv stayed with me right to the end even helping with little extras beyond hair! Thank you Viv for giving me and my
Bridesmaids the perfect hair!!

Wedding Party of 7

Viv was absolutely amazing on the wedding day and throughout the planning process. It was literally like having another pair of hands during the day. The hair lasted all night long, with one of my bridesmaids keeping it in from the Friday to the Sunday night! Couldn’t have asked for a better hair stylist and support on my big day!

My mum and I had a wonderful time at the trial also, Viv made everyone feel so relaxed and ready for our special day! Massive thank you! Highly recommend for future brides.

Our wedding at The Pear Tree

Viv was so kind and calm on the wedding morning, she made everything feel relaxed and easy. She did a beautiful job on my hair and was so lovely with my daughter too and ended up doing her hair too!

Thank you for being such a special part of the day!

The best bridal hair stylist a girl could wish for!

Viv, just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for being my bridal hair stylist on 14th December 2024. You honestly done the most wonderful job getting me and my maids ready. I had so many lovely compliments on how beautiful and timeless my hair looked and it lasted all day which is really unusual for my hair type! You also made my maids look stunning and the whole experience was just so special. I also really enjoyed my bridal trial, you allowed me to see the options I had been thinking of and we had such a giggle. You are so warm and lovely to have around and so helpful, you went above and beyond to help me and ease my nerves before the isle. I was so grateful to have you there! Love Kayleigh xxx

So lovely and all of our hair was flawless!

Viv was one of my absolute favourite suppliers from our wedding! She did Hollywood waves for me and updos for my bridesmaids and mum.
She was so friendly, such a happy presence throughout getting ready and she went above and beyond. She stayed right until the last minute to make sure she could do touch ups.

Highly Recommend

Viv was absolutely incredible! Her communication from the start was amazing which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding. She was super flexible with timings of the day to fit with what works best around your makeup artist as well. Viv spent so much time and effort into the hair trial which was so nice and on the day helped make the morning feel so calm and relaxed as well as doing such an amazing job for me and my bridal party!

Wow! 5* recommended!!!

Wow.

I can’t tell you how talented Viv is at her job, I went from being a massive frizz head to the most beautiful sleek curled locks😍

I loved Viv since the moment I met her, so friendly and approachable!
I don’t know what wizardry she did to my hair but wow I’ve never seen it look that beautiful before!

The curls held so so well, even made it to the venue looking perfect after driving in a Fiat 500 with the roof open😅

My bridesmaids hair looked out of this world, she made my Pinterest dreams come true! Even with the difficulty of adding the real flowers to the hair, she did it!

Viv even stands in as a baby sitter/ holder when photos were being taken!🥹

Viv and Hester (makeup) are the most perfect glam team ever and I feel so lucky I had them both by my side!

I can’t take you enough for everything you did🤍 can’t recommend Viv enough!! 5**

Thank you so so much xxx

Perfect service, highly recommend

Everything went perfectly on the day, in great hands with Viv. The hair was spot on with what I asked for and all went smoothly. Viv was super responsive pre wedding so I didn't have to worry about any questions I had.

Wedding hair queen

I cannot recommend Viv enough. From the first email everything was super easy and she's been super helpful the whole way through the planning. She makes your feel like the only bride and is like a personal hype girl. She made the morning so easy and relaxed, me and all my bridesmaids loved her and were obsessed with our hair which lasted through all the craziness and dancing of the day. She is very talented at what she does. Thank you Viv x

Highly Recommend Viv!

I highly recommend Viv and her services, both my trial and wedding she brought my vision to life and more! Viv was more than accommodating when I changed the bridesmaids hairstyle (the week before the wedding!) and the girls looked fabulous! She also very kindly helped my mum with the placement of her fascinator even though she was booked in! :)

Absolute perfection!

Viv was an absolute dreeeeam! I booked Viv and Kim to style my hair plus my 7 bridesmaids and my mum. My hair has never looked so stunning in my entire life. Viv is so organised and so professional. She is also warm, kind and such a calming presence that I genuinely felt she was the one keeping my nerves at bay on the wedding morning. Despite it being her birthday, Viv was right there until we walked down the aisle making sure my gorgeous waves were perfect after a blustery walk to the ceremony. Couldn’t have asked for a more incredible hair stylist and hype woman for the wedding morning. Thank you so much!

Perfect Graduation Hair!

Viv did an amazing Hollywood wave hairstyle for my graduation that lasted the whole day ! It was beautiful, and I got so many compliments on it. Viv was very responsive to messages and even came to my flat which saved me lots of time and was up lots of stairs! I would highly recommend Viv for any occasion hair !

Hollywood waves 22/12/23

Viv is an absolute dream and the best in the business. She knew exactly what I wanted and was absolutely insane at the work she did! Viv went above and beyond to help me, even to the point of applying my boob tape and getting me in to my dress. My hair was still picture perfect 2 days later. Highly recommend viv she’s an angel!!

Wonderful!

Viv was amazing on my wedding day in December. I’d had a trial with someone else who couldn’t make it on the day, so Viv stepped in to cover and absolutely smashed it - particularly considering we hadn’t met or had a trial beforehand, and I’ve been told before my hair is very difficult to style, so it’s a testament to what a talented stylist Viv is!! Viv is also super lovely, personable and professional. She got in touch with me straight away on the morning and completely put me at ease. I couldn’t recommend Viv more!
