I have curly hair which is prone to frizz and was looking for a hair dresser who could do a natural look for me that would simply bring out the best in my curls without blow drying everything straight and recurling. Matthew achieved just that using curl products and a curl brush and styled it into a nice half up half down with flowers which held all day. He was also a calming presence on the morning of the big day and his team did a great job styling other members of the bridal party (mix of curly hair up and blow dries). Highly recommend !” — Johanna ![Woman holds long braid wrapped once around her neck while wearing a white shirt](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fwoman-holding-braid-white-shirt.jpg%3Fv%3D1768409203911&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) ![Stylist adjusts shiny doughnut bun on young person wearing salon cape, reflected in mirror](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fdoughnut-bun-adjustment-in-mirror.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768831924414&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3)![Profile of blond woman having hair pulled up while wearing a chunky gold chain](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fblonde-woman-hair-styling-profile.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768831923248&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) - ![Profile of blond woman having hair pulled up while wearing a chunky gold chain](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fblonde-woman-hair-styling-profile.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768831923248&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) ## Pre Wedding Hair Trial 60 mins A focused bridal hair trial to test shapes, hold and comfort.
