Tara has been so accommodating over this period of uncertainty, even when we had to rearrange, and then alter our wedding plans! She perfectly puts you at ease and is amazing at what she does. Oh, and I of course LOVED my hair :)
I could not recommend her highly enough!

Amazing hairdresser, myself and my four bridesmaids loved our hairstyles Tara created. Extremely reasonably priced and from the first email that I sent, she made the whole process so easy. The hair trial was great and Tara is so easy to get along with and understood exactly what I wanted on the day. This made the whole wedding day morning run so smoothly and meant that there were no stressful situations! I cant thank Tara enough for everything she did as it was all just perfect.

I am addicted to having my hair up for any weddings we attend now as Tara is so amazing at every style I choose. She makes me feel pampered and relaxed and I always get beautiful compliments about my hair. I love her style and ability to recreate any ideas that I may have. An absolute delight and I would highly recommend her to any bride or wedding guest. I love her work.

Tara did mine, 2 bridesmaid and mother of the groom hair for our wedding. She has been absolutely fantastic from the initial trial right through to the wedding day. Tara is a perfectionist and doesnt accept anything less than perfect and stayed with me right up until we left to make sure everything stayed in place. The hair lasted all day/night and looked great. She was a lovely person to have around on our wedding morning, kept me calm and is so friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Tara to others. Thank you Tara for everything x

I was so pleased with my hair for my wedding. Tara was so professional and relaxed on the day. Put everyone at ease. Although I slightly changed it in between the trial and the day, she was very helpful finding the style that suited me. She also did my bridesmaid and Mum, and our hair stayed in all day and evening until after midnight.

I couldnt recommend Tara more to any bride! Id come across Tara after a bad hair trial with another stylist for my wedding. I was already feeling stressed and worried about what style to have and Tara restored my confidence and I happily booked her for mine and my bridesmaids hair for the day. Through the entire process, Tara was available and accessible for any bridal meltdown I was having! She understood exactly what I wanted for myself and for my bridesmaids. On the day itself Tara was fantastic and went above and beyond to help me to get going on time! From making my stunning hairstyle
