Wedding Hair Testimonials
"Thank you both so much. You have been fantastic from start to finish and James was a pleasure to work with. I was absolutely amazed with what he was able to do for my wedding hair and also for my mum and bridesmaids. I would not hesitate recommending you to anyone else and I was so pleased that you were part of my wedding. First class service from a first class hairdresser."
Juanita Cook (Surrey) - 07 September 2011
" In a word: Wow! You were fantastic! I was so pleased with everything you did for me on the wedding day. You turned up early, which was a godsend on a hectic morning and kept me calm and laughing throughout the morning. Better still, I was over the moon with my hair and everyone was amazed that by midnight after a long day and a LOT of dancing, my hair still looked the same as when you did it at 10am!! I would recommend you to everyone and already have recommended you to lots of people! I can't thank you enough for everything! You even calmed me down when I had a bridezilla panic about the florist! thank you so much "

Not only did James to a great job with my hair on the day of my wedding but he was a pleasure to have around on the morning of my wedding too. Clearly an expert at what he does, he transformed my rather fine and wayward hair in to a thing of bridal beauty – all while being friendly, funny, charming and calm. What more can you ask for!?"
Ruth Anderson-Davis (Horsted Place, Uckfield) - 17 August 2011
"I cannot recommend James highly enough as an incredibly talented bridal hairdresser. The natural but intricate styles that he achieved with my bridesmaids were nothing short of absolutely stunning, and I was completely thrilled with my hair; my hair was shorter and I found it hard to decide what to do with it at first, but James was incredibly patient at working with me until it was just right. On the day, I could not have been happier, and everything stayed in place perfectly all day.Thank you so much!"
Erica Ruse Whalley - Oaks Farm - 11 August 2011
"I would recommend James to anyone!  Being a hairdresser myself it was very important for me to have 'perfect' hair on my wedding day.
I wanted a current but classic look and James got it spot on!  He was very professional, friendly and obviously experienced in bridal hair which put me at ease and kept me calm on a very nerve-wracking morning! Thank u so much James your a star!"
Lucy Hillier - 19 July 2011
"I would gladly recommend James to all 'brides to be' without any hesitation.  I decided to have a hair trial for myself and my bridesmaids and James listened to our ideas and also came up with some great suggestions to compliment other details such as outfits and accessories.  On the day James helped us all to stay calm and relaxed and we were all done ahead of schedule with time to spare despite having five people's hair to style.  Having grown my hair for over a year so that I could have an up do I could not have been happier with the style and received lots of compliments on the day!  Thank you to James for helping to make my wedding so special and also to Claire who made planning our hair and booking James so easy!"
Claire Kinnard (East Sussex) - 18 July 2011
"
James did an absolutely fabulous job on my wedding day. I was so pleased with my hair – it was exactly what I wanted. James was great in planning the schedule for the morning of the wedding, so he had plenty of time for my hair, both my bridesmaids and my mum – all of whom were delighted with their styles. James helped to make me feel very relaxed on my big day and I felt in very safe hands. The trial a few months beforehand was also a great way of testing out the style that I had in mind and it was good to have the chance to talk through what I wanted and the arrangements for the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend James to any bride-to-be!"
Helen Hamer (London) - 13 July 2011
"I was unsure of the hair style I wanted for my wedding day, but after a trial with James, we found a look that not only suited me, but also suited the theme of the day and of course the dress! With our schedule already pre planned -  we flew James out to Spain to tender to myself, the bridesmaids, and even the mother of the bride! He was relaxed throughout, professional and was open to any suggestions or concerns we had, which is exactly what every bride is looking for her wedding day. The result was fantastic and I was so happy with my hair!! Thank you James for being a part of my special day and making the whole process enjoyable. You're a really great stylist."
Francis Hitchcock (Guardamar, SPAIN) - 18 June 2011
"

I would like to thank James for the fantastic job he did of everyone's hair last Saturday.  He was the perfect hairdresser, relaxed and good company, but at the same time doing a great job of everyone's hair and making them look beautiful.  Joanna's hair looked amazing, and the bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair, epecially Eddie, as was I thrilled with mine. "
Margaret Weller (Mother of the Bride) Croydon - 04 June 2011
" Where to start.. Claire was amazing from the first correspondence in booking James to style my hair for my wedding in Italy, and for helping to work out all the travel arrangements to fly James out. James, what can I say; you travelled all the way to Praia in southern Italy for 24 hours to add the finishing touches on our special day by styling my hair and seven other members of the bridal party. You were a pleasure to do business with. Thank you for everything, I wish you every success. "
Jacquelene Lagioi (ITALY) - 01 June 2011

Tina Webber (Mother of the Bride) - 21 May 2011
"I just wanted to say huge thank you for the amazing job you did on my hair for both my wedding day and the party. You created exactly what i wanted and people were blown away by your creation.
I am recommending you to everyone, you're so professional and brilliant at what you do and i'll definitely be ringing you for any suave parties or do's i have in the future to do something fabulous again with my locks!!"
Rose Edwards (London WC2) - 19 May 2011
"Thank you so much for the brilliant job you did styling my hair. It was perfect, exactly what a wanted. Thank you."
Katy Ellis (Pimlico) - 09 April 2011
"I booked James to do my wedding hair having found him from a random google search. The pictures on his gallery gave me confidence that he was a creative stylist that could achieve the look I wanted. Having said that, the only brief I could give James was that I wanted a low bun and to still look like me! James created the most beautiful style that I felt was sophisticated, without being too formal and absolutely what I wanted.  Aside from that, I was amazed at the look he created for my bridesmaid - which far exceeded my expectations.  Most importantly my Mum, who was very nervous about her hair, was very happy indeed.  James was a pleasure to have around and I really can't recommend him highly enough."
Sara Podmore (West London) - 04 December 2010
"

From the trial and the first time I met James, I was made to feel at ease. James did my hair exactly how I wanted it done and explained everything clearly. He also gave me great ideas to aid me on the day. My wedding was 03.12.10, which you can imagine was the week we had terrible snowfalls. I had my disco cancel and certain guests cancel. But throughout that week James and his team kept in constant contact reassuring me that he would be there. Low and behold he was, and he was brilliant. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and I couldn’t have been happier with my hair on the day, it stayed looking perfect throughout.

I would highly recommend James - he was an absolute great find and you would be lucky to have him do your hair."
Joanna Dawson (Guildford) - 03 December 2010
"James did a fantastic job on my hair and the hair of all 4 of my bridesmaids. We all received compliments throughout the day on how lovely our hair looked! Thanks James for been so professional and doing such a great Job, I cant thank you enough! I will definately be recommending you to all my friends and family! Brilliant!""
Sarah Chamberlain (Windsor) - 28 August 2010
"I just wanted to say thank you so very much for being so marvellous on my wedding day.  I really loved the way in which you did my hair, it was exactly as I wanted.  I was very impressed with the way that you transformed what I tried to describe into reality.  The bridesmaids were all really pleased with their hair as well, and I have to say that I was particularly impressed that the flower girls hair lasted all day as well!  We all really loved having you with us whilst we were getting ready as well, you brought a sense of calm into a busy day!"
Gail Gander (Warlingham) - 08 August 2010
"Thank you for doing such an amazing job with both mine and my bridesmaids hair. The styles lasted all day and night. I was over the moon with the results"
Kelly Collins (Hackbridge) - 07 August 2010
"I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to you James for making myself and my bridesmaids look absolutely amazing on my wedding day. You were an absolute star and did exactly what we asked for. It was lovely to have you there to be a part of my special day and I really enjoyed all the preparations. In fact, I was really calm until I put my dress on and then started to get a bit nervous (so I hope I gave you the right money as my hands were shaking so much I didn't know what I was doing!) the day went well and you will be pleased to hear that all of our hair looked just as good the next day! Also thank you to Claire for great communication and organisation. You made everything go smoothly. What a fab team you make! Thanks again from all of us.

"''James not only made my hair look beautiful, but he was professional, relaxed and really friendly. James took care of every tiny detail and ensured that everybody was entirely happy that their hair was secure and perfect. I can't thank James enough for making me not only feel but look amazing!'' "
Sarah Buckle - 30 July 2010
" James, thank you so much for making my hair look stunning on my special day.  You managed to recreate the image in my mind perfectly despite my novice way of describing hairstyles!  My hair stayed looking fresh and in place all day and night.  You were also an essential calming element throughout the morning which was needed!!  A big thank you from the bottom of my heart and I am glad I was able to share part of my special day with you.  It’s clear you are very talented and passionate when it comes to creating wedding hair.  I would recommend you in a heartbeat and wish you much success for your business in the future.   Thank you for everything."
Helen Bennet - 11 July 2010
"I got married in July and used James' services for my hair and my 3 bridesmaids.  I cannot recommend James highly enough- he was pefect and everybody commented on the styles he chose and created.  I was especially delighted with my 'up-do' hair style as I was convinced that having short hair would limit the look I wanted to achieve, but James was able to create a style giving the impression that my hair was a lot longer than it is."
Natasha (Bagshot, Surrey) - 10 July 2010
"" James not only made my hair look fabulous for my special day - giving me a fantastic and original style - but was also fun to be with during the morning of my wedding, really helping me relax my nerves.  James not only did my hair, but also the hair of my bridesmaid and mum, and everyone commented on how great we looked!""
Neggin (Oxted) - 09 July 2010
"James, I just want to say a big heartfelt thanks for the great job you did on my hair on my wedding day. The style was beautiful, and perfectly complimented my tiara and gown. Your calm, professional and likeable manner also put my nerves at ease. I will be certainly be recommending you to my friends and family - talented hair stylists are hard to find"
Kelly Davis - 24 June 2010
"Thank you for making my perfect wedding day hair style come true. I was so pleased with my bridesmaids hair too, you made everyone look stunning. Thank you again for all your hard work and creativity."
Kate Marshall (Coulsdon, Surrey) - 04 June 2010
"James provided an excellent level of service from the trial apointment through to the actual wedding day. He was able to style myself and four bridesmaids without compromising on quality or the style requested. With James' help i was able to have the exact style I wanted, as did each of my 4 bridesmaids. All of the wedding parties' hair stayed as it should throughout the whole day through to the evening reception."
Lisa Barrass (Bromley) - 29 May 2010
" James created my wonderful bridal hair as well as of my 4 bridesmaids, I couldn't have been happier with everyone's hair, especially my own. We had a trial where I gave James a few ideas, he was able to create a style that was perfect and exactly how I had imagined. On the wedding day James was so quick and calm, even with lots of people and kids running around! James did all the bridesmaids styles differently and free hand as he had not seen them previously, which takes confidence and skill. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Everybody at my wedding commented on our hair as we were all perfectly styled. I was so happy with how we looked in all the photos I was over the moon!!  Thank you James "
Heather Wallace (Cheam) - 10 April 2010
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything James did on our wedding day - I couldn't have been happier with my hair and my bridesmaids looked beautiful. It made me a very happy bride!"
Fiona Priestland (Dorking) - 03 April 2010
"I just wanted to write and thank you for doing my wedding hair for me last Saturday. It looked absolutely beautiful and so many people commented on how lovely it was. The style and curls lasted well into the night despite being subjected to some strong winds earlier in the day!
I must also thank you for ironing my pashmina when everyone deserted me! I was very grateful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."
Liz Odds (Kensington) - 06 March 2010
"James came highly recommended by another hairdresser, and didn't disappoint. Everybody commented on how amazing my hair looked on the day. But just as importantly, James was very proffessional to deal with, I felt completely confident in him and at ease, which was important as James was at the heart of my preparation on the morning of my wedding."
Maureen O'Sullivan (Croydon) - 27 February 2010
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for my fabulous wedding hair style! You did a great job and it stayed in all day despite the very blustery conditions! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you in the future"
Laura (Oxted, Surrey) - 14 November 2009
"Thank you so much for all your hard work both leading up to and on my wedding day, especially helping me figure out which hair comb to go for!
I loved my hair, it was exactly as I wanted it and it lasted all day without any problems. I’ve had so many compliments about how classy the bridesmaids’ hair styles were as well.
Thank you so much for all of your help and starting so early in the morning. It was lovely to have you there and helped to make getting ready a really fun part of the day!
I was so thrilled with everything that you did for us and couldn't have asked for more. Thank you"
Jenny Long (London SW1) - 07 November 2009
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wedding hair!! From the moment you left the house in the morning I didn't stop smiling (even when I was crying!) we had such an amazing day and it all went so well.It was amazing to have you at the house and even more amazing that you coped with so many girls flapping about.Thank you so much and when I move to London I'll keep you in mind for my hair and will recommend you to all my wedding friends!  "
Hannah (Bromley) - 26 September 2009
"Myself and the girls want to send you are sincere thanks for doing our hair on the day. Everyone commented on how lovely our hair was done. The styles lasted all day and night and it was such a relief not to have to worry about it.  Rob, my husband, especially loved what you did with my hair, he also sends his thanks for making me look lovely."
Gioconda (Selsdon) - 05 September 2009
""I was really keen on having a half-up half-down hairstyle for my wedding which was simple yet elegant.  But when I looked on the internet I couldn't find any hairdressers with a style I liked.  My mum found James' website and when I saw his pictures I thought that his styles were perfect. I booked James for a trial and we discussed how I would like my own hair as well as my bridesmaids - James managed to do exactly what we asked for first time round.  We also discussed times for the actual day, which was really helpful. On the day James was great - calm and focused but also a fun person to be around.  We had such a great morning, I never once panicked about us being ready on time - even though he did the hair for myself, three bridesmaids and my mum!  Unbelieveably the curls in my hair stayed in all day and into the night despite me jumping up and down on the dancefloor for the best part of two hours - James I salute you!"
 "
Rachel Cherrington (Guildford) - 04 September 2009
""James did an absolutely fantastic job on my hair and also my two bridesmaids. Everyone has commented on how wonderful our hair looked. It stayed in so well I kept it in the following day! James was not at all fazed by a house full of women running around getting ready and helped us to stay calm. James knew exactly what we wanted and made it possibly. His contribution to us on our special day was invaluable Without a doubt I would recommend James to anyone!""
Jenny Kemp (Shirley) - 04 July 2009
"Thank you so much for being so amazing on my wedding day! I LOVED my hair and wish you could do it for me every day. I can't believe it stayed exactly where you put it for the entire day, it was still perfect the next morning! It was very calming having a non-panicked man in a room full of girls getting ready and I would recommend you to anyone! My mum is also still raving about you! You worked so hard and kept perfectly to my schedule, you must have been exhausted!"
Angela Ghouse (Covent Garden) - 30 May 2009
"We proposed quite a challenge for James on the morning of our wedding reception, myself, 3 bridesmaids (one who arrived late!) mother of the bride and a cheeky snip for the groom! But James was not fazed and finished all 6 with time to spare! We were all really pleased with the results and all up do’s were still up and looking great gone midnight, even if the recipient wasn’t! James was very professional, punctual and friendly from trial to reception and we’re really glad that he was part of our special day, thanks again James"
Caroline & Neal (Bromley) - 16 May 2009
"I was absolutely delighted with my hair on my wedding day. Thanks so much James!
I particularly appreciated the time you took before the big day to discuss possible different styles and try them out in advance. It was very reassuring to know what to expect!
Thanks too for being so professional on the wedding morning itself. It was an early start, but the fact that you were on time and so calm and cheerful really helped calm my nerves. I think it rubbed off on everyone else too and helped get the day off to the best possible start.
By the time I left for the church I felt fantastic and very excited. We had a wonderful day - thanks for your part in helping to make it special and run so smoothly."
Deborah (Bromley) - 02 May 2009
"James, thank you for providing such a great service on such a hectic day! I loved my hair and so did everyone else. I wish you every success in the future.  "
Helena (Croydon) - 11 April 2009
"Im very fussy with my hair so was naturally nervous about leaving it in someone elses hands for my big day but James totally understood what I wanted and was calm and professional. The trial went well so I was left feeling confident. The big day arrived and I was so happy with my hair. My guests were regularly commenting on how lovely it looked. It made me feel that extra bit special…"
Jo Agyeman (Croydon) - 27 March 2009
"James did my hair, my mum's and my bridesmaids' and we were all really pleased with the results.
The trial had enabled me to try out all my ideas and on the day it looked perfect - it even survived the hot weather and looked glam all day. James was also a calming influence to have around on the wedding morning and coped well to get all of us looking fantastic amidst all the madness!"
Emma Fripp (Reigate, Surrey) - 19 August 2007
