Absolutely fantastic! I recently got married and Kelly did mine, my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and grooms hair. She was amazing. We had to move the wedding multiple times due to covid and Kelly was nothing but accommodating and helpful with all my stressed emails. Hair on the day was fantastic and lasted brilliantly throughout. I couldn't recommend her more. Thanks again!!

Kelly came highly recommended to me by one of my best friends who referred to her as the queen of hair and she really did live up to this title! She did an absolutely incredible job with my bridal hair and also my wifes hair too! Not only is Kelly amazing at what she does, shes also such a lovely person providing excellent service from start to finish.

Thank you Kelly for helping my bridesmaids and me feel amazing! From my trial, I knew I would love my hair on the day. Kelly listened to exactly what everyone wanted and stayed to make sure the flowers in our hair and my veil were perfect. I booked with Kelly knowing that she was highly recommended and now I know why.
