Chelmsford, Essex Based Bridal Hair Stylist I Specialise in making brides feel confident and beautiful on their wedding day

Calm mornings. Beautiful hair. No unnecessary fuss.

Bridal hair should feel as effortless as it looks. For you, that means feeling like the most confident version of yourself as you walk toward the people that mean everything to you. I’m a bridal hairstylist with a passion for timeless elegance and an eye for the little details that make a big difference. That’s where my work truly begins. You might be surprised to hear that I didn’t grow up dreaming of styling hair. When my lovely nan first suggested it, I assumed it would be temporary. But somewhere between learning to pin my first updo and discovering the artistry behind soft, sculptural waves, I fell in love myself.

It wasn’t just the styling, it was the transformation

There’s a moment that happens in the chair, when a bride first sees herself not just as “done up,” but as radiant, strong, and truly herself. That quiet shift in confidence… I live for it, every-single-time.

Since those early days, backed by Nan’s unwavering belief, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless women step into their wedding day feeling elegant, empowered, and beautifully, unapologetically themselves.

A few things about me

Outside of weddings, I’m a mum to my beautiful son James, who keeps me on my toes constantly. Bridal hair has become a space where I truly feel like myself creatively. It never really feels like work to me, and I think that’s why I still love every wedding morning just as much as I did when I first started.

I’ve also fallen back in love with reading recently, especially anything I can’t put down in one sitting. Colleen Hoover and Frieda McFadden are usually at the top of my pile, so if you have any thriller recommendations, send them my way.

And if I’m not styling hair, reading a book or packing up my kit for a wedding morning, there’s a very good chance I’m rewatching Grey’s Anatomy for the hundredth time with my husband. 

“I instantly felt at ease. She’s simultaneously a calming presence and an absolute joy to be around! I was completely in love, my hair stayed up all day, even in strong winds!! Ellie, you’re amazing! I cannot thank you enough!!”
