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!

I can’t recommend Nicola enough. I never had a trial cuz I trusted her completely I was also so indecisive on what way I wanted my hair done, a few days before my wedding I decided to have it down and within seconds on the morning on the wedding Nicola knew what way I wanted it and it was perfect. The bridesmaids had ponytails and they never budged the whole day and night we had great Craic with Nicola the whole morning she’s so chilled and easy going ❤️

I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist for my wedding day! From the initial trial to the big day, Nicola was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Nicola listened to my ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and created a hairstyle that perfectly matched my dress and overall vision.

On the wedding day, Nicola arrived on time, brought a calming presence, and made the whole process feel relaxed and enjoyable. My hair stayed flawless all day and night even with all the dancing.

I received so many compliments and would highly recommend Nicola to any bride.

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 ❤️
