Gaynor was absolutely amazing at our wedding last weekend. Myself & the girls all loved our hair, she done exactly what we pictured & everyone felt great. She has such a lovely personality & she kept us all chilled & relaxed all morning. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal hair stylist 🤍 Thank you again! …
I cannot recommend Gaynor highly enough. From the very first trial, she immediately understood the hairstyle I was looking for and created it perfectly. On the wedding day, I received so many compliments on my hair, and it stayed looking beautiful throughout the celebrations. What I appreciated most, however, was how well she listened when it came to my makeup. During my trial, the look was a little more glamorous than I had envisioned, but she was incredibly receptive to my feedback. On the wedding morning, she adjusted everything perfectly and created the natural, understated look I had hoped for. The result was exactly what I wanted: I felt like the best version of myself, rather than looking like someone else. My mum, dad, and husband all commented on how beautiful the makeup was and how perfectly it suited me, which meant so much. As well as being incredibly talented, she was calm, professional, and a lovely presence to have around on the wedding morning. She helped me feel relaxed and confident at such an important moment in the day. Thank you for helping me look and feel so special. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who truly listens and creates a look that feels authentically you.
I chose the very lovely Gaynor to do my bridesmaid’s and my hair on my wedding day, and I’m so happy I did! We were both over the moon with how it turned out. I couldn’t believe it was my hair, it looked so beautiful. It held up perfectly all day, and I received so many compliments. From the trial to the big day, Gaynor managed to replicate exactly what I wanted. She was also so lovely and easy to talk to. I can’t thank her enough. I 100% recommend her to any bride! Thank you so much! x
Gaynor did hair for me, my 4 bridesmaids and my mum on my wedding morning. She did a fantastic job and catered to a variety of styles – Hollywood waves, up do’s, blowdrys. Everybody’s hair looked gorgeous and lasted all day. My trial was also great, Gaynor was really responsive to any questions I had and gave great advice. She is so easy to chat to and made it a lovely relaxed atmosphere on my wedding morning
We booked Gaynor to do my hair and make up, and our bridesmaids hair, for our wedding day. We booked with her almost three years in advance, and when we changed venues, she very kindly agreed to stick with us and come to the new venue. I had my trial in March of our wedding year, and had such a personal, cosy appointment with Gaynor, where we got to meet and discuss what I wanted, and tried out my look. Her studio is very sweet and comfortable and I was immediately at ease. On our wedding day itself, Gaynor was just lovely. She fit right in with the calm, cosy vibe we had going, and really kept the girls on track with when to get ready, even advising on what lipstick to wear despite not being there to do their make up. When it came to me, she really put me at ease and it really felt like just a nice, quiet moment before all the chaos. The hair and make up were both stunning, on myself and our bridesmaids, and I can’t thank Gaynor enough. I really highly recommend booking with her! Thank you so much.
I had the pleasure of using Elegant Bridal Hairstyling for my wedding at Auchen Castle in January and I cannot recommend Gaynor enough. She’s such a warm and friendly person who immediately puts you at ease. She and her assistant Catrina did an amazing job on me and my bridal party’s hair and makeup and we all loved how it turned out. They were also so lovely and easy to chat to, making them a great addition to our morning. I decided to book a trial as I was unsure about having my makeup done as I’d never had it done professionally, and was worried about it being too heavy/cakey. Gaynor quickly put my worries to rest at my trial, she did a beautiful job and I loved it so much we did the same thing for my wedding day. We made a few changes to my hair for the day, and it turned out so perfectly. I got so many compliments on the day, and I felt simply amazing! Thank you!
Gaynor was quite simply exceptional. She has such a calm, joyous and gentle demeanor which was a gift on my wedding morning. She styled the hair and makeup of myself as the bride, my mom and sister. Her work was SO beautiful but yet we still looked very much like ourselves!! I feel like she understands things about beauty and about our own hair and facial structures and skin tons that I will never understand. My wedding morning was miraculously fun, exciting and calm. Gaynor shared smiles and laughter with my nearest and dearest and I could not have been happier with mine, my mother and sister’s looks. My vision for myself became a reality through Gaynor’ talent. Thank you!!
