Wedding Day Hair Inspired by You
Sophisticated . Alluring . You

Award-winning hair artistry to highlight your unique beauty.

I am dedicated to making your most pivotal life moments unforgettable by ensuring you feel your most beautiful. With over 20 years of experience, I specialise in creating bespoke hairstyles that accentuate your natural features and complement your face shape and aesthetic. My mission as a Bridal Stylist is to bring your hair dreams to life, creating “you enhanced”.

My passion has come from chasing a world-wide endeavour, which has taken me to Sydney, Melbourne and LA, to learn from the best in our industry. I have worked on stage at Fashion Week on numerous occasions and at festivals across Australia, as well as being part of an elite artistic team where my classic-meets-modern aesthetic shines.

Why does this matter? The pressure of Fashion Week is not dissimilar to wedding planning and a jam-packed morning ahead of your big event. My expertise allows me to offer you a high quality, custom service and a level of professionalism that ensures you remain relaxed while enjoying the most important moments leading up to your ceremony!

My award-winning expertise in upstyling allows me to embark on even the most complex designs while maintaining a touch of timeless elegance. I genuinely listen to your desires, working together to achieve your hair goals and perfecting your final look with you. I am passionate about my craft, staying current with the latest techniques through ongoing training, ensuring you receive the best in bridal wedding hair.

TRIAL

Perfect your bridal look with a hair trial, which in my opinion, is absolutely invaluable! Together we’ll determine what style best enhances your features and what you love most. A trial will also give a great indication of how comfortable you will be on your big day and to how well your hair will last.

Got a few favourites that you can’t decide between? Why not try them all! Book multiple trials!

Additional trials outside of package inclusions are $160.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What does the morning of your wedding look like with me? Imagine a calm and relaxed morning, knowing you have a reliable stylist by your side. I’m dedicated to bringing my absolute best to help you achieve your perfect aesthetic while creating an enjoyable atmosphere for your bride tribe.

I take my time to ensure everything is just right — this means I’m not just there to style your hair, but also to assist with hair pieces, ensure your dress is on perfectly, and help with any last-minute details.

I generally allow 1 hour, plus touch up time for each guest with a tailored start time to compliment your ceremony time. I also endeavour to be finished no less then 90 minutes prior to ceremony (which can be customised at your request). This ensures you have adequate time with your photographer and importantly, to RELAX! I wish for you to have the most fun, unrushed wedding morning! 

On the day, your hair and make-up team generally work simultaneously together to create smooth transitions and free flow from hair to makeup service. This in turn creates the most seamless, stress free and enjoyable morning for your wedding party. Hence why most of us in the wedding industry end up with a little list of our favourite “preferred vendors” which I will include in your package upon booking. Professionalism always prevails though, so no matter who you prefer, we are here to create the best experience for you. 

PREPARATION

Perfect wedding hair starts with proper preparation! So, absolutely, YES!! Please always wash your hair the night before your appointment and ensure you arrive with CLEAN DRY HAIR!

I have an array of amazing products to ensure your hair will hold the way we need. Prior to your appointment you will also receive a guide on best hair washing practices. 

Short hair blowdries are the exception and may be directed to shampoo the morning of. Rest assured, you will be given your unique instructions following your booking or trial appointment.

Talk to me about any specific prep tips to make sure your hair is ready to shine!

TIMING

I aim to have your bridal party hair styling completed 1.5–2 hours before you are due to make your big entrance. In order to ensure you leave on time and maintain a relaxed and enjoyable service, it is important that all members of the bridal party arrive 15 minutes ahead of their specified booking time.

TRAVEL

We’re excited to travel with you on your special day! For locations within Toowoomba City, we offer complimentary travel. For all other destinations, a small travel fee applies which will be quoted on enquiry.

Rural to Coast and everywhere in between, I absolutely love to travel & see even the most remote locations. Depending on the location, I may even waive the travel fee to add it to my family’s collection of places visited and destinations conquered. 

Travel is complimentary for all wedding venues, including Preston Peak, within the Toowoomba area. For areas outside the 4350 region, we typically charge $1/km. Please enquire for an accurate quote. 

GROUP BOOKINGS

I’m truly invested in you and your bridal party to not only ensure you look and feel your best but to also create and ensure the best atmosphere for a fun, relaxed morning. For this reason I cap availability at 8 so that no member of your party feels rushed or overlooked. 

This allows me to provide the highest quality service while working within wedding party and venue access times.

If you have a large wedding party, please contact me to discuss your unique requirements.

Please Note: Exceptions can be made for remote destination weddings and/or if one of my “recommended stylists” is available to partner and collaborate with me for large wedding parties.

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE / GROOM STYLING

Yes! I can absolutely provide wedding hair styling or blow dry service for the Mother of the Bride. If the Mother of the Groom is staying at the same wedding venue location this is also a possibility. Please enquire when making your booking.

CHANGES TO BOOKING AFTER PAYMENT

Can I make changes to my booking after paying my booking fee?

Absolutely! It’s your day and I want you to enjoy every moment! Your booking fee secures me for your wedding date, which means I’ll block the entire day out for you, and everything else will be finalised 6 weeks before your wedding.

LAST MINUTE ADDITIONS

Extra people may be added to your package for a cost of $160 per person.  To maintain our high standards of quality and service, we can accommodate a maximum of 8 people for one stylist in a day.

Please note that this may require an earlier start time and potentially a later finish. This is also only available if the venue permits an early opening.
