No one compares to this hairstylists talent
Gemma is the go to hair stylist and I totally understand why. Her work is just magic, she creates hairstyles you only dream of having; I have never felt so beautiful. All my bridesmaids couldn’t stop talking about how lovely and kind she was and now they want to all get married so they can have her do their hair again.

What a delight!
I was mother of the bride and welcomed Gemma to our home for the pre wedding trial where I was bowled over by her warmth, adorable personality and skill. On the wedding day itself she added to the occasion with her calmness, kindness and professionalism - an amazing find!

If you want the most fabulous hair
Gemma was incredible. Not only is she gifted at styling hair, she is so lovely to have around! She did my hair (bridal) and my 4 bridesmaids, and all of us loved our hair. She really listens to what you want and finds a style that suits you.

Made me look like a movie star and I was just the bridesmaid
Gemma was simply amazing. She styled the hair of our bride and 5 bridesmaids of all different ages with all different styles of hair. She created a fishtail weave up do on my very long thin hair which I got compliments on all day and evening. It looked more red carpet than standard bridal! She was calm and good fun on the morning too.
