I would highly recommend Aoife for wedding hair styling. I first met Aoife at my friend's wedding where she did the bridal party's hair, and I remember being so impressed then, it was amazing to be able to work with her again for my own wedding and have her be part of such a special day.
Aoife was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and brought such a calm, reassuring presence to the wedding morning.
My trial was perfect from the outset, she completely understood the look I wanted, and there was nothing that needed to be changed for the final wedding day. On the day itself, she recreated it flawlessly, and my hair was exactly what I had hoped for; elegant, polished, and still very natural and “me,” which is not always easy to achieve.
The bridesmaids’ hair was also beautifully done, and they were all so happy with how they looked, which really added to the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the morning.
Aoife’s professionalism, talent, and attention to detail are exceptional, and everything felt effortless in her care. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
An exceptional hairstylist who I would recommend to anyone.

Where do I even start! Aoife was a dream! The entire process with Aoife was amazing! She really made sure we were all happy with our hair and my hair was exactly what I had pictured in my head! I even changed my hair after the trial and there was no issues with anything that was asked for. Aoife was so lovely and really helped make the morning!

I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding hair! Aoife stepped in at the last minute and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Her communication and attention to detail were brilliant, and she instantly put us all at ease. On the morning of the wedding, she created the most beautiful styles for me, my bridesmaids, and my mum – each one perfectly suited to our personal styles. Our hair lasted all day and night, (even for day2) through hours of dancing. We all felt so glamorous. Aoife brought such a calm, friendly energy to the morning, which made getting ready an absolute joy. Truly talented and such a lovely person – I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I won the lotto finding Aoife.
Not only is she an exceptionally talented hairdresser, but her fun calming presence made it feel like another friend was with me on the day.
She went out of her way to accommodate me and even saved the day my finding a make up artist for me at the very last minute when mine couldn’t do it.
Myself and the 3 other women all had very different hair types and styles and she was able to make us all look fantastic.
My hair stayed perfect until I called it a night at about 3am, without feeling like my head had been in a vice afterwards (which was a first).
If you are lucky enough to book Aoife, I can promise you’ll look 10/10 and have someone that genuinely makes the day better by being there.

Oh my god, where do I even start with Aoife.
From getting pricing to the wedding day she was absolutely incredible. She is just the sweetest most loveliest human alive. She’s just such a gem. And the talent she has is just insane. On my wedding day she did my hair 3 bridesmaids my mam and my auntie and they could not stop gushing over her.
I honestly think 5 stars is an insult to this angel if I could I’d honestly give 1000 stars.

I found aoife on facebook and contacted her to check availability, she was so professional and helpful during our chats, I booked her for myself and 5 others. Aoife made everyone feel so calm and she was an absolute gem. She styled everyone's hair exactly the way we all wanted it to and was such a perfectionist. I was so happy with my wedding day hair and trusted aoife 100%. She was helpful even for normal hair advise prior to wedding. Would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Aoife was incredible to work with! She is so friendly, accommodating and great at what she does. I was very overwhelmed when it came to choosing the right hair stylist and am so glad I went with Aoife. It was a very busy morning getting 7 people styled but Aoife didn't even bat an eyelid. She was such a pro and great to talk to. Everyone's hair looked amazing and lasted the whole night. Highly recommend Aoife!

Aoife did my hair, that of my four bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. Everyone was delighted with their hair! Aoife is so lovely and was a really calming presence in the morning and kept the atmosphere so nice and light. A total professional and so talented. She was so lovely to deal with throughout the whole process and helped keep everything ticking along on the day, I didn't have to worry at all about hairdressing running o time. Such a pleasure to have Aoife as our hairdresser.

Aoife was such a dream to work with from the very beginning. I reached out to Aoife and received very quick response with both availability and flexibility with regards to trial dates (as was planning from overseas).
On the day, Aoife did such a great job with the bridesmaids different hair style, mam’s blow dry, and my own hair - she was okay with a few tweaks day-of and was so great for taking suggestions. Thanks Aoife!

From the moment I first reached out to Aoife, I knew I was in good hands. Absolutely fantastic hair stylist and her energy is amazing!! A great balance of buzzing with energy and calming all in one. I first met Aoife at my hair trial, I gave Aoife just a few things I'd like, nothing too specific and she got the perfect style first go! On the day of the wedding, even with a broken wrist, Aoife still had myself, 4 bridesmaids and mother of the bride looking and feeling fantastic and not a single hair budged on any of us. I cannot recommend Aoife enough, very responsive and flexible, and I repeat, amazing at what she does!!

Aoife was just amazing !! I'm so happy I had her as my hairstylist. From start to finish she was just so friendly and chatting and warm !! I had two trials done and she didn't even hesitate for me to come back a second time - she made sure I was 100% happy with it .
On the day we had such a lovely chilled morning and just great chats . It's no nice to have a hair stylist and make up artists that knew each other and got on really well too . Would definitely recommend Aoife ??. If I lived closer to her she?d become my hairdresser ????.

Aoife was the hair stylist for our wedding. I met Aoife through my sister and she did the hair for her wedding and she was so great and I knew I wanted her to be a part of our special day. We did a trial to get a good feel for the day. Aoife’s completely worked around my crazy work schedule to ensure we were able to do a trial. She is so easy to chat to and after the trial I had some changes I wanted to make and I emailed her about it and she got back so quickly and made sure to make note of it for the day. She checked in before the day to make sure everything was to plan. On the day Aoife made everyone feel at ease and was a great addition to the day and of course the hairstyles turned out perfectly. Everybody was commenting about their hair. I couldn’t recommend Aoife enough!

Aoife was great to deal with from the very beginning. Great communication and appreciated the free trial ahead of the day. On the wedding day, she was professional, hard working and most importantly, just a lovely person to have around. She is very chilled and knows how to slot in with a bridal party on what can be a stressful time. Highly recommend!

Aoife was amazing! She made the atmosphere on the morning of the Wedding so relaxed. She checked in with me to ensure that I was happy with the look of everything and if I wanted to make any adjustments before finalising things. My family enjoyed having her there on the morning of. She made everyone feel relaxed and pampered. She worked effortlessly alongside my photographer. My hair never budged. It lasted until the early hours of the morning. During my trial with Aoife, everything was a breeze. She was very knowledgeable, and helping me find a style I loved was no issue. I would highly recommend Aoife for your big day!

Aoife was amazing from the minute I contacted her. She was so helpful during the trial when you have no idea what's going on, she took on your opinions and you really felt like you had a say in everything that was going on. On the morning of she just slotted right in to the gang and she was a huge part of the morning with her relaxed nature and she really listened to what my bridal party and I wanted. I can't thank Aoife enough for helping feel so beautiful the morning of my wedding.

Honestly, Aoife was absolutely amazing from start to finish. First off she is a lovely person and nothing is too much trouble for her. Her skills at hair styling are amazing, she did all different styles for me, my 2 sisters, my daughter and my mam. Ranging in age from 15 to 65 everyone was delighted with their hair. She is such a calming person too, exactly what you need during your wedding prep! We had a great laugh too and I'm so glad she was a part of my big day!

I contacted Aoife for bridal and bridal party hair styling and neither myself nor my bridesmaids could have been any happier with our hair for my wedding day. Aoife was extremely quick to respond to me and any questions I had in the run up to my hair trial and wedding, she answered immediately. She listened to what each of my bridesmaids wanted for their hairstyles and even though they were all individual styles, she made them flow seamlessly and they look amazing in our wedding photos.
Aoife was completely flexible with me - particularly on the morning of the wedding when I had some small hairstyle changes - nothing was a problem for her! She was so pleasant to have on there and really helped maintain a calm environment throughout the craziness of morning preparations.
I honestly couldn't recommend Aoife highly enough. She is fantastic!

She was so brilliant to deal with from the first message, to the trial and then to surpassing all my expectations on my wedding day!
Aoife is also a dream to have on the wedding day, she just slots in like one of the girls.
I can’t thank her enough, she’s the absolute best in the business!
