In the lead up to the wedding Hilary was always available and happy to discuss any queries I had. She was relaxed and confident and this rolled over into the morning when she knocked on my door at 7.30am. With such a huge bridal party she was never fazed - dissolving into the background and carrying on with her work so us girls could have our moment and make our own atmosphere. Everyone was extremely happy, even though we're a hard bunch to please!

Hilary was absolutely amazing...
Hilary was absolutely amazing, from the moment I met her for the hair and make up trial to the wedding day.I sort of had a vague idea of what I wanted my hair to look like so I told her my ideas and from that she just got on and did it and it looked amazing,better than I could have ever imagined.The make up also looked great from my skin tone and a brief idea of what sort of make up I wore she created an amazing look for me.On the day I know my bridesmaids were blown away with how good she was.

Hilary was excellent right from my initial enquiry. She always responded to any questions or concerns I had immediately and was friendly, welcoming and incredibly talented during my trial and of course on the day itself. She provided total professional calmness yet light hearted fun during my wedding morning which was very much needed! She worked so hard to make myself and my three bridesmaids look as beautiful as we'd hoped and wished for. A very deserving winner indeed!

Hilary treated all of my wedding party the same...
Hilary treated all of my wedding party the same. Everyone was just as important. Hilary was very professional but also down to earth. We had a good giggle on the morning of the wedding and had a bit of time to spare! She accommodated my mums hair and make up even though that was not the original plan but she managed to fit her in. She was very truthful if something didn't look right or wasn't possible in the trial, but by working together she helped me choose my perfect style.

Hilary was absolutely fantastic when styling mine and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. I struggle to feel confident around hairdressers but Hilary put me at ease straight away and spent the time to get to know what our wedding was going to be like and what styles I would like. My hair looked stunning on the day and my bridesmaids looked amazing. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and to future brides!

My day was an extremely early start as we had an early wedding but this was not a problem for Hilary and she showed up even earlier. She set an excellent schedule which meant that everyone was ready on time and we were all calm and relaxed. Hilary met with me beforehand and we discussed what I wanted and Hilary was able to make this happen. Hilary worked on all others hair on the day and everyone loved their styles!
