"To say I was happy is an understatement..."

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

Yay! I'm happy with my Quote and I'm ready to secure you for my wedding! What do I do next? 

Accept the quote to generate your invoice, sign the terms and conditions and make sure the booking payment is received then Yipee! The date is yours! 

Unfortunately, I cannot pencil dates due to the multiple requests for popular dates year on year.

What hair extensions do you recommend?

Clip in hair extensions are very common in creating the trending, bridal hairstyles you see today across TikTok, IG and Pinterest.

They act like scaffolding in the hair and provide fullness, length and longer lasting curls and waves.

I like using superior hair clip in extensions but there are many brands available online too. You can purchase superior hair directly from their shop and have them colour matched or I have a variety of extensions in my studio that are available for hire too.

Can I please chat to you about my wedding before I book?

Yes! You can book a free 15 minute discovery zoom call with me.

"Amy was awesome from start to finish"

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.
