The Stylist

Hi there, I’m Francesca, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a wife, a mum of three, and an award-winning bridal hair stylist based in Oxfordshire, specialising in timeless, elegant looks for the modern bride.

How it all began

My journey into bridal hair began at my sister’s destination wedding, where I styled hair for a wedding for the very first time. Seeing how a beautiful hairstyle could transform how someone feels on one of the most important days of their life was a moment that stayed with me. That spark has grown into a passion that continues to inspire my work every single day.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless brides feel confident, relaxed and radiant as they walk down the aisle. My own experiences have shaped the way I approach each wedding morning with calm, care and a genuine desire to make the start of your day feel as magical as you imagined.

My goal is simple: to bring a sense of peace and positivity while creating a hairstyle that feels timeless, romantic, and uniquely yours.

My philosophy

While I adore creating beautiful hairstyles, my true purpose is to help you feel completely at ease. Your comfort and happiness matter just as much as your final look. My philosophy is simple: to enhance your natural beauty with a style that feels effortlessly you and remains timeless in your photos for years to come. I’m here to listen to your vision, offer honest guidance, and bring your dream look to life with care.

I genuinely love what I do, and I’m devoted to helping you feel calm, confident and fully present so you can soak up every moment of your wedding morning. What I hope truly sets me apart is my commitment to the relationship we build.

I’m not just your hairstylist, I’m:

  • Honest, supportive guidance (including when styles need tweaking)

  • Someone who quietly fixes the little things (buttons, veils, flower girls!)

  • entertaining nervous flower girls

  • A style that feels like you, not a stranger in the mirror

Your wedding day is about you, and I’m here to help you flourish in your bridal era. I hope my portfolio resonates with you, and that I have the honour of being part of your special day.

If you love soft, romantic styles with a touch of bohemian flair, you’ve found your stylist.
