"I used her services for my wedding and she did the most beautiful job. Amy has the ability to be the calm in the storm of wedding preparations and that was so appreciated. Could not recommend her more highly!"

FAQ
When should I check you have my wedding date available?
Wedding bookings are made 12-18 months in advance so it's good to get in touch as soon as you confirm your major wedding vendors.
Please note - I only book a small number of weddings each season so my availability is limited and popular wedding dates including Saturdays are booked quickly**
Where do you travel to?
Locations I frequent are the North Shore suburbs, Auckland City Central Hotels, Air BnB's, Waiheke Island, Kumeu, Coatesville and surrounding areas, Orewa, Warkworth, Matakana.
Enquire for travel & accomodation rates.

Yay! I'm ready to secure you for my wedding! What do I do next?
- Send me your requirements via the contact form
Unfortunately, I cannot 'pencil dates' due to the multiple requests for popular dates year on year.
Bridal Preview?
- I no longer insist on a Bridal Preview / Practice. However, should you wish to book one this would be done anytime within 6-8 weeks of the wedding day.
When should I book my cut, colour or highlights appointment with my hairdresser prior to the wedding?
- Consider the time of the year of your wedding and aim for having your last trim/colour/toner etc 2 weeks prior to the wedding day.
It's also very important that with hairstyling, plan face framing lengths and also ensure we have enough hair to create the desired look if not requiring extensions or support padding.
Can you start before 7am?
- Yes.
How long do you allow for services on the wedding day?
- Brides 45-75 minutes or up to 90 minutes for selected styles, Guests average 45min per person. These times are approximate as some hair types and styles can take less or more time. Makeup average at 45 minutes pp, Bride 45-60 min.
Are you available on public holidays?
- Not usually, but you may enquire if you're feeling lucky.

She has incredible insight into your unique perfect day and the hair and makeup impeccable. A true creative professional stylist and all round amazing human. The communication was easy and accessible and you made me feel and look a million. Thank you so much Amy. - Lydia, Tawharanui Lodge
Amy recently did my hair for my wedding. Amy was amazing. I told Amy my vision of what I wanted and the end result was even better than I expected.
Amy is so good at what she does, and uses quality products.
Could not recommend her enough!! - Chanelle Plume, Matakana
At the bridal trial she managed to work out exactly what I wanted from a range of pictures and taking her time to execute the perfect hair for me.
She is a great communicator, on time and works incredibly hard to make everything perfect. I highly recommend Amy for your wedding.
