Emily did a beautiful job on my wedding hair last weekend, not just on the day itself, but throughout the whole process, from booking to trials etc. I loved how my hair turned out, and it was exactly what I wanted - thank you so much!

Emily is brilliant! She did the hair of myself, my bridesmaids and my mum on my wedding day and I can honestly say she was nothing short of amazing! Not only did we all look and feel incredible on the day, she was calm, professional and went over and beyond in helping me get ready, even waiting behind once finishing the hair to help get my shoes on and get into my dress. She made my hair visions come to life and created a look that I loved!! Taking on board everything I had asked for during my

Emily made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I must have changed my mind 10 times and she still listened and did exactly what I wanted. She also did my bridesmaids who all looked so beautiful! Highly recommend Emily ❤️

I had my wedding hair done by Emily in September, along with my flower girl and bridesmaid. Emily was super friendly and made everyone feel so relaxed. We ran though ideas of what we wanted and turned out better than anything I could of hoped for. Emily was absolutely fantastic and professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thankyou again🥰

Emily was amazing on our wedding day! From the moment I sat down for my trial I knew she would make my hair look perfect. Emily is friendly yet professional and made everyone feel at ease on the day. We had an array of ages and hair types on the day with me, Emily nailed every look and accommodated all requests incredibly. Mother of the bride was a bit self-conscious about her hair being too thin to look good, but Emily put her mind at ease and made her feel beautiful. Me and my husband got caug

Emily did the hair for myself and my four bridesmaids for my wedding in November. She was personable and professional, calm and collected - everything you’d want on your wedding morning. Despite us all having different hairstyles on the day (and very different hair types!), Emily took it all in her stride and we were all ready in plenty of time despite a relatively early ceremony time, meaning we were able to have a relaxed and stress-free morning. My hair stayed put throughout wind, rain and

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Do you hold bridal hair trials?

Yes i do!

Trials are held at my home studio in Parkstone, Poole. I have a very welcoming space I call 'the hair cabin' in my back garden.

My toy poodle Casper loves to give my brides all the cuddles during trials! (please let me know if you would prefer he not join us)

Will you travel to my venue?

Yes, the morning of your wedding I will have set at least 3 alarms to make sure I am on time!

I will arrive with all my gear, a smile and plenty of enthusiasm ready to make the bride and bridal party beautiful!

What deposit do you require?

£50

How long does a trial take?

A standard trial is 1.5 hours at a cost of £70. During this time we can try 2 styles.

Should you wish to try more styles or have a longer time to discuss then the trial can be extended to 2.5 hours at a cost of £85. 

Please note: Hollywood wave trials require 2.5 hours (£85)

Do I need to bring anything for the trial?

Please bring along any accessories or veil you wish to try.

If you are thinking of using clip in extensions these should also be brought along.

How long do you need on the wedding day?

I assign 45-60 mins for bridesmaids and 60-90 mins for the bride.

I always assign buffer time within the schedule to do any touch ups as required.
