Nicola was just amazing going above and beyond in every way. On the lead up to the wedding I was panicking about hair accessories and she must of spent an hour sending me different suppliers etc. On the day of the wedding she was just so calm and honestly I think this put everyone at ease. The girls showed her what they wanted and she was able to do exactly what they wanted, whilst having the craic at the same time and they were all beyond pleased with their hairs. She?s talented to say the least and I would recommended her 100%

I could not recommend Nicola enough for the morning of your wedding! The craic, her professionalism, time management and most importantly her wonderful working hands creating such fabulous hairstyles on all of my fab bridesmaids and myself the bride! She fitted right in the morning of the wedding and put us right at ease from the get go! There was no rushing or panicking as Nicola had it all under control, she was such a delight to have as part of our wedding day and I could not recommend her enough!

Nicola from The Wedding Hair Stylist offers an excellent service from the initial enquiry to wedding day. The information she shared with me when I enquired was clear, detailed and easy to follow. As I was travelling home from Australia I had not known what to expect, however Nicola provided all the information I needed to prepare for my trial hair appointment. Nicola is a lovely person and made me an my friends feel so welcome and relaxed when we visited her at home for the hair trial. She took the time to get to know what style I wanted and discussed my dress and outfits of others in the bridal party. We also talked about styles that would suit my hair and face type. After my trial appointment I knew my hair was in good hand I cannot thank Nicola enough for everything she did in preparation for the big day and on the day. Go raibh m?le maith agat!

Nicola was just amazing from the get go. From the moment I contacted her she was so responsive. Her booking system is great because it adds a Google invite to your calendar which for me is a big plus. Her professionalism and fun and skill is amazing and it was a pleasure to have her. She want above and beyond on the morning of the wedding, arriving early, getting all the bridal party glammed up and helping g orchestrate / coordinate the morning whilst keeping the craic alive. She did such an amazing job on my hair working with my headpiece despite the curve ball I threw her on the day changing from my original idea during the trial a few weeks prior. I absolutely loved my hair and cannot reccomend Nicola enough to any future brides.

Would definitely recommend Nicola! She arrived early the morning of my sister's wedding despite the cold and windy conditions outside.She was so professional and really listened to each of us to give us our own individual look. Nothing was a bother to her! Our hair stayed in place all day, despite all the dancing 🙂 Not only a brilliant hairdresser but an all round lovely girl who made everyone feel relaxed, she even had a wee sing song with us as we all bopped away to some cheesy tunes as we got ready . Thanks so much Nicola xxx

Nicola was absolutely fantastic! From my hair trial up until the big day she was so sweet and responsive and made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted. She was so accommodating for all of my bridesmaids and my mother in law as well. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about my wedding morning regarding the quality of the service as well as the experience. Nicola was so much fun to have around in the morning and definitely livened up the room for all of us. Just wish I could get married all over again!

Nicola what a stylist, what a gem. Had Nicola for my wedding in May 2024 and nothing was too much for her to do. She helped getting my two girls into their dresses and helped with last minute bits from fascinators to taping me into my dress. She was incredible. The best hair stylist. Nicola did mine, maid of honor and two mothers all of our hair was fabulous and stayed for the whole day and night even with all the dancing. Nothing was too much for her to do. Thank you Nicola your a gem ❤️

Nicola did my hair for my wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with her as a hair stylist. She did an amazing job, making my hair look better than I ever hoped! My hair did not budge once throughout the day, despite wearing a loose curl down. By the time I had finished dancing, my hair still looked super fresh – I couldn’t believe it! She is a really lovely person and was such good company on the morning of the wedding. I would definitely recommend her to all brides. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Nicola was an absolute pleasure to have in the house the morning of the wedding. It was the first wedding in our house everyone commented on how good the supplier choices were. I felt like I knew Nicola years when I first met her for my trial. All our hairs were perfect, we were delighted. My hair turned out better than I could have imagined and I had so many lovely comments on it. A talent and a joy to have about😊

Nicola, an absolute gem! Nicola did my wedding last Saturday and there was myself, my mam and 3 bridesmaids and nothing was any trouble to Nicola. She did a mixture of up dos and Hollywood waves and helped myself, my sister and my mam with putting in clip in extensions on the day. The curls sat in my hair all day, she made sure they’d stay! She was so calming and was a great presence to have in my house in the morning and was great at keeping it cool even if I wasn’t 😂 thank you so much Nicola, you’re an absolute star!

From the day I went for my hair trial with Nicola I knew I had made the right choice. She is such a lovely person and also great craic which is exactly what we wanted for the day. She is magic at her job and had myself and my 3 bridesmaids and mother looking a million dollars. Got so many compliments on our hair and it was still as perfect into the early hours as it was that morning. Wish I could get her to do my hair every week.

Would highly recommend Nicola if you want a beautiful hairstyle along with good fun and craic in your house morning of the wedding

Nicola was such a pleasure to work with and be around from start to finish. She made sure that myself, 3 bridesmaids and mam were all happy with her excellent work and took the time to listen and perfect the style everyone was after. She adds a sense of calm and adds to the craic on a chaotic and at times stressful morning! She’s a real pro and I would highly highly recommend her to anyone xxx

Nicola is an absolute lady! She was our hair stylist for my sister Amy’s wedding, myself and my other sister were bridesmaids. The craic was 90 not to mention the brilliant job she did doing our hair. We were very easy going with what we wanted and Nicola put her creativity to work making our hair look good enough for the red carpet. We were so so so happy with our updos, my hair has never looked as good

Nicola was AMAZING the morning of our wedding 💖 The crack and the dancing out of her in the sitting room was hilarious… this was all done whilst being an absolute machine as she had to do my hair , 4 Bridesmaids , My Mam , 2 flower girls hairs! She is some doll! Such a professional service and mighty crack. My favourite Memory is Nicola up on the bed making sure my Veil was in perfectly before I walked down the stairs! She’s a lovely person and I’m so glad I chose her to be one of the amazing vendors for our special day. Our hair never budged all day.

There are no words for how amazing Nicola was on our wedding day! Every single one of us was obsessed with our hair and we all got day two out of it too!

Nicola was also incredible with my two little girls. Especially the younger one who is absolutely nuts. She didn’t just do the hair but she helped keep the morning running smoothly and make sure we were on time for everything! I am so happy Nicola was apart of my special day! Thank you so much 💜
