my haven for your hair

As you'll all know by now little old me is finally opening up on my own. I have wanted to create a wee studio of loveliness for sometime now and took the plunge. It is in Portview Mill and my studio is situated on the first floor in a114.  I wanted to create a wee haven for you and your hair. Hopefully my vision will come together and you will all love it as much as I do. After years of trying and testing different products and ranges I have come across two brands that I totally love and they are Maria Nila and Davines. Both companies are Vegan and Vegan friendly and are free from sulphate and paraben. Their packaging is carbon neutral and I just want to try to help the environment as much as possible. I'll be using the Davines colour range which is also vegan friendly and made from naturally sourced ingredients. My studio will not only be there for my clients and brides, but it'll be my office too which is great as I can then move all my work out of my home and have the two separate. 

For my bridal section I'm aiming to create a more personal atmosphere. Bridal appointments will only have my brides and their chosen bridal team present. This way we can talk all things your wedding and we won't get disturbed by anyone. It will be our own wee wedding hair haven.

I will be taking my first client on Thursday 9th March and my studio will be officially open from this date. EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I may be the most excited person in the whole universe these days! I may also be the first lady ever to combust from excitement, so if that does happen, please just follow my little dream on and keep my wee studio life alive hehehehe.

To all my peeps, I love you and I cannot wait for you all to see my wee vision that is ....

See you all soon. eek! keep loving and always smiling. Let's make the world a better place one smile at a time :) xo

tori & sean's beautiful belfast wedding

Okay people, I have already shared Tori and Sean's wedding day trailer, but this is their whole wedding day film. It has been beautifully captured by two of my favourite people, cinematographers Matt and Abby, the creative duo behind http://www.forever-social.co.uk/ If you haven't already booked yourself someone to capture your wedding day, well these guys are for you. Seriously, not only are they totally lovely people, but they will knock your socks off with their crazy talents. Book them!!!! 

Creating Tori's hair for her wedding day was such a privilege. From our first meeting in Clements with her mummy we got on. She just has such a beautiful soul. Tori's bridal choices were all people and designers I love. Lizzie Agnew made her wedding gown and I think you'll agree how stunning it was. Sandra from Blue Meadow Bridal designed her headpiece and bridesmaids hairpieces too. All beautifully handmade with the finest pearls and gems.  

Tori and Sean also had photographer http://www.laurajcurran.com/  capture all their wedding day moments and if you check her out you will see how amazingly talented she is too. Laura is warm and friendly and I would recommend her to any couple getting married.

jump the broom

I married my best friend on Friday 25th November 2011 in the Ulster Museum in Belfast. My long time friend and photographer Emma Campbell captured our big day. She was an absolute star! Professional, funny, warm and all my guests loved her. I highly recommend Emma for your wedding day too. She captures moments beautifully.  Check out Jump the Broom and you'll even see me and my hubby featured.

my new adventures

Well, it's finally happened! I'm too emotional right now. God has truly blessed me and I'm ridiculously happy. To all my family, friends and amazing team at Blue. THANK YOU for all your support and prayers. On the 1st February I get the keys to my very own studio. EEK!! honestly, it has been the toughest 2016 battling my brain, heart and anxiety, but with the love of my friends and family I have finally grabbed my dream and will be opening my own wee haven. Thank you to every single person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my chair. I love you all to the moon and back.

My new studio will be situated in Portview Mill, East Belfast at A1:14. I am too excited. It will probably be mid to end of March by the time I get to open but I will keep you all posted. 

Thank you to everyones support. It had been totally humbling and overwhelming.

#pure stunning

This post is basically all about the love I have for 3 people, well, 2 humans and 1 little furry one.

When I first met TenTwentyOne photography I instantly fell in love with their energy and lust for life. I'm a true believer in fate and God putting people in your life. Shelley and Ricky have always made me feel so welcome. Not forgetting our wee Penny too, she really is such a calming little furry human and I love her face! After working with them on weddings and editorial shoots we have become chums and I am thankful everyday for their friendship. When Shelley asked me to create her bridal hair I was blown away. It was such an honour.

I've always wanted to open up on my own and have a bespoke salon. With their help and support I have made my dreams come true and will be opening up my own bespoke salon in Portview Mill.

Shelley took this wee photo of me filling in my application form and it's a constant reminder of the day I let go of all my anxiety and reached for my dreams.

From the bottom of my heart guys, I will always be grateful to you. I am too excited for our journey ahead and all our coffee catch ups. Neighbours at last :)
