Hello future brides! Your best wedding memories start here

Congratulations on your impending nuptials. This is such an exciting time and the energy is infectious to me. You have said the most important ‘I do’ and soon you’ll be saying ‘Up do’. I’m going to make your second most important wedding decision an easy one, choosing your wedding hairstylist.

There’s so much more to bridal hair than styling, something I have learned from specialising in this area in recent years. Your best wedding memories start here.

There are a few factors to consider before deciding on a bridal hairstyle so I invite you to browse the rest of this page where you can consider your face shape, hair quality, dress and even the likely weather on your wedding day. All of this will be discussed at your trial in more detail.

bridal hair trial

This is an in-depth consultation about the styles you are considering. Do you want classic or contemporary, half-up-half-down, the chignon, boho waves or a halo braid with flower crown? We’ll discuss your hair type, length and volume and your dress, to get an idea of the most suitable and complementary hairstyles.

I will then prepare your hair and try out your chosen style. Afterwards, I’ll show you photos from multiple angles and you can decide whether it’s for you or not.

the big day

On the morning of your wedding, let your hair down and leave it in my capable hands. I love nothing more than bringing our co-creation to life on your big day. This is the time for you and your bridal party to relax and utterly indulge.

    Style

    What style is your dress ?

    Classic or simple

    You can choose a more dramatic hairstyle.

    Ballgown, full of detail or sparkles

    Consider something elegant, structured and simple.

    Low back

    Curls, Ponytail or Braid to the side to show off a dress with a low back.

    Weather

    What weather is most likely ?

    Summer

    Hot and humid: Recommend wearing hair up in a secure style. No worrying about your hair frizzing or sticking to your back. Works best for extremely windy conditions too.

    Autumn, winter or spring

    Cool or Cold: Most hairstyles will work. Think Hollywood Waves, Chunky Braids or Boho Chic.

    Extensions

    HOW LONG & VOLUMEOUS IS YOUR HAIR ?

    This is the most important question to ask yourself bride-to-be. It’s easy to find and fall in love with the most stunning style from Instagram or Pinterest. In reality, is your hair long enough and voluminous enough to pull it off?

    If you have your heart set on a particular style but your natural hair needs help, I would always recommend Great Lengths hair extensions. They are perfect for adding length and volume. The pre-bonded extensions also last between 3-5 months so will see you through your honeymoon!

    I booked Linda for my bridal hair as soon as I got engaged. Linda was highly professional, friendly and reliable. Linda was amazing at recommending products and treatments to get my hair in good condition for my wedding day. I had my trial with Linda two months before my wedding and she was fantastic, Linda spent time helping me pick styles that would suit me and look well with the dress. On the wedding day Linda was exceptional, no challenge was too much and she knew exactly what we all wanted. Linda went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. I was so happy with my hair on the day and I received so many compliments. I can't thank you enough...I would highly recommend Linda xx

    I never had any doubt over who I would want to do my hair for my wedding. Lynda has incredible talents for creative up-styling that feels and looks natural. One thing I didn’t worry about the day of my wedding was my hair. From the many ideas Lynda suggested that would work with my style on the day, the trial which was perfect first time and even helping me source my Tiara from Australia, my hair on the day was perfect. On the morning of the wedding even though Lynda had myself, three bridesmaids, two mothers and flower girls, her calmness and professionalism was exactly what I needed and made the preparations for the day very memorable. I can’t thank you enough Lynda for my beautiful hair and I would highly recommend you to anybody looking for a top wedding stylist.

    Linda is a hugely talented stylist. She’s also the most lovely person! On the day of our wedding Linda arrived promptly and styled my mother, my mother in-law, my two bridesmaids and my hair with plenty of time to spare before our ceremony. I showed Linda a couple of pictures of the vibe that we were going for and she did our hair to perfection. Linda is extremely skilled at what she does - I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

    Linda did a stunning job on everyone’s hair and we were so thrilled with the way everything came out during our wedding. From the few months earlier, I knew that she was the right person to style my wedding party as well. Linda is such a professional, she made everything so easy. I would recommend Linda as a hairstylist for anyone planning their wedding, she truly is the best.

    Linda is such a professional! I had a couple of trials with her before the wedding as I wasn't sure about the hairstyle I wanted to go with. She made sure I was happy before the wedding day, which meant that on the day itself I was relaxed and convinced I was in good hands. While listening to what the client wants she is also amazing at giving style suggestions that work with the type of hair, the client's face and the dress. Linda's work etiquette is neat and calm and my bridal party and I loved getting our hair done by her! I would highly recommend Linda to any bride to be!

    Linda has been doing my hair for about 4 years, and frankly has become more of a friend to me than hairdresser. Linda is so lovely, so warm and kind. She is professional and reliable in everything she does. She listens to what you want but will also advise you on what works best and is always always right! I can go to my appointment with Linda and let her work her magic and know the end result will be fantastic. Her knowledge of colours and products etc is endless and has an amazing eye for what will work for your colouring, hair type etc I would never have had anyone else do mine and my bridesmaid’s hair on my wedding day. Linda was such a calming presence on the morning, instantly putting everyone at ease and just slotted in so well with everyone. None of my bridesmaids really knew what they wanted but with Linda imparting her experience and talent on the girls and knowing what would suit them, they all looked stunning. My mam is also crazy fussy about her hair and was blown away by Linda. Linda is second to none. Whether it’s a cut and colour, restyle or booking her for an event, you can put any doubt or worry out of your mind knowing she will look after you.

    Linda did my hair and my bridal parties’ hair on my Wedding day I could not have chosen a better stylist, she did some trails a few months before and Linda had an in-depth consultation with me about what styles to choose and what would go best with my dress. I really can’t fault her, she was a pleasure on the morning of my special day and even calmed me down! I was so thrilled with my up-style and I would highly recommend her.
