“My hair doesn’t hold a curl, can you still style it?”
Absolutely! I’ve worked with all hair types, including those that struggle to hold curls. Using professional products, styling tools, and optional extensions, I create styles designed to last from your first photo to the final dance.
"This sounds amazing! Can I book a preview first?"
I love your excitement! Previews aren’t available without securing your date first—this experience is for brides ready to go all in. If you’re feeling the pull, trust that excitement and book before another bride claims your date!
"What if I change my mind about my look after the preview?"
’Trust me, I know how frustrating it is to invest your hard-earned money, only to realise afterward that it’s not quite 'you.' What’s unique about the ‘Red carpet - worthy’ styles I create is that they’re one-of-a-kind and can’t be replicated, which is why re-trial requests are less than 1%
“What is covered during our preview?”
Your preview session is all about bringing your bridal hair vision to life! We’ll start with an in-depth consultation, where we’ll chat about your wedding theme, dress style, and any inspiration photos you’ve gathered. From there, I’ll recommend styles that complement your features and overall vibe—whether that’s elegant Hollywood waves, a romantic updo, or something completely unique to you.
We’ll try out different looks to see what feels right, adjusting as we go until you’re 100% in love with your style. If you’re considering hair extensions or accessories like veils, combs, or pins, we’ll incorporate those too, so you can see the full picture. I’ll also give you tips on how to prep your hair for the big day to ensure it’s looking its absolute best.
By the end of the session, you’ll feel confident, excited, and ready to walk down the aisle knowing your hair is in expert hands!
’’Can I change my look for the evening reception?’’
Many ‘’Love hair by Ellie’’ brides love the idea of a speedy transformation for the evening, such as transitioning their ‘’Hollywood waves’’ into a ‘’sleek pony’’ look to add a touch of glamour for their first dance. If you upgrade to my ‘’Luxury’’ bridal package, I’ll be on hand for a style change where you’ll get the best of both worlds for your wedding day.
“Can I have Hollywood waves if I have fine hair?”
Absolutely! Hollywood waves are one of my signature styles, and I have plenty of tricks to make them work beautifully, even for fine hair. To achieve that voluminous, long-lasting wave, I often recommend using clip-in extensions to add fullness and hold. Don’t worry—you don’t have to commit to buying them. I offer a luxury extension hire service, so you can get that red-carpet look without the extra hassle!
“Can you handle larger bridal parties?”
Yes! Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a bridal party of 8+, I’ve got you covered. For larger groups, I’ll bring along trusted assistant stylists to ensure everyone is photo-ready without feeling rushed. Every member of your party will get the Love Hair by Ellie touch.
“Can I book a bride-only package?”
I’m so glad you’re considering Love Hair by Ellie for your big day! Between March and October, I require a minimum booking of the bride plus two bridal party members. These peak months are in high demand, and this ensures I can give each of my brides the dedicated time and luxury experience they deserve. If your wedding falls outside of these months, I’d love to discuss more flexible options.
