Niamh is such an amazing Stylist, I've known for years that I would get Niamh as my Wedding stylist (even before I was engaged lol) as I used to get my hair done by her many moons ago in Galway and I have always kept up to date with her instagram. So she was one of the first people I messaged when we got engaged because I knew I had to have her. And I was not disappointed, although the weather could have been better, my hair was gorgeous. She was such a lovely presence the morning of the wedding and I would recommend her so much. Thanks again Niamh for everything

Dawn was so helpful on the day of my sister's wedding. Between side plaits, upstyles and loose curls, she captured a look for each bridesmaid. She worked with each of our styles and tastes. My sister's natural curls were enhanced in a way no other hairdresser has been able to do yet! We had a great morning with her, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Dawn.

I was a bit worried about choosing a hair dresser cause I was coming from England for my wedding. From when I met Niamh she was relaxed and patient with me and my sister and took on board everything we wanted for hairstyles for the wedding. I showed her two images of bride/bridesmaid hair I wanted and she created stunning unique styles, despite us both not having the best hair!
On the wedding day she was amazing! All of us were done and ready to go by 12 so we had loads of time for photos. I can't recommend Niamh enough, she's incredibly talented and professional and will make your wedding morning a breeze!

Niamh looked after my in-law's on the morning of my wedding. No mean feat, considering there were 7 of them! All of them were so happy with their hair; my mother-in-law said her hair never looked as good :-). Thank you Niamh for looking after them. I would definitely recommend Niamh for your bridal party hair.

I contacted Niamh via email to see if she would be available on my wedding day and what prices would be for my bridal party. She responded quick, she was very friendly from the start and made us all feel extremely comfortable. She was there a few hours and everyone's hair came out stunning. I couldn't be happier with our choice to have her there to help with our big day.

I cannot recommend The Hair Fairy team enough. Niamh's expertise and exceptional timing made the morning of my wedding go like clock work. I was particularly nervous that morning but Niamh put me at ease, kept me calm and was lovely company. All of my bridesmaids hair styles were styled differently to each others and they were delighted with the outcomes. Niamh was able to work her magic and created six stunning hair styles with no fuss. I would highly recommend The Hair Fairy team; classy, modern hair styles with a gorgeous personality and professionalism to match it.

Though I got married in Ireland, I am from Canada. This made planning the wedding more difficult as I could only arrange things when I was there, which was pretty close to the wedding day. Niamh and Siobhan were very accommodating in working so 'last minute' with me. We met about a week before the wedding and made all the arrangements over coffee. They wanted to know about me, my lifestyle, my likes and dislikes as well as wedding questions (where will the wedding and reception be, what style/colour is my dress, etc.) all in an effort to get a feel for what would be the best fit for me on my wedding day. Add to that the fact that I am vegan and this was an all vegan wedding, well, they had their challenges to say the least.
Both Niamh and Siobhan did a fantastic job! Siobhan even gave me a vegan lipstick to take home with me. I still use it today.
The entire wedding party (females) and a few friends (all from Canada) got their hair and makeup done. We all loved it!
Thank you so much Siobhan and Niamh for making the morning get-ready party a blast! It was a ton of fun!
Response from The Hair Fairy
Thank you so much Sandra. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun relaxed morning with you and your beautiful sisters and friends, it really was our pleasure we laughed so much that morning! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special day, you looked a million dollars!! Niamh x

Niamh did my hair, as well as my three bridesmaids' and my mother's hair for my wedding in July. She is such a lovely person and was so helpful and accommodating in the lead up to the wedding. She was always very quick to reply to all my emails and questions and I felt she was very reasonably priced. She made us all feel very relaxed on the morning of the wedding. I was so delighted with how all of our hair turned out! I could not recommend Niamh highly enough!

Niamh did my bridal party hair for my wedding day and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal hairstylist. The hairstyles lasted all day and were even still perfect the next morning! Niamh was very relaxed and professional on the day and we were all ready in plenty of time for the church. All the bridesmaids had slightly different styles that Niamh tailored to suit each of them individually.

Niamh was so professional & helpful from the start. I have short hair & I wanted an upstyle for my wedding & she made it possible for me to have the style I wanted with extensions. She has a wealth of knowledge on styling, colouring & upstyling, she cut & coloured my hair prior to my wedding so it looked healthy & in great condition. She was so patient at my trial & she created the exact style I was looking for. I would highly recommend Niamh to any bride, an extremely talented hairdresser & a lovely person too.

Niamh was an absolute gem
On the day of our wedding. I was nervous the night before about times as I love everything going to plan. Niamh gave me a call night before and she really put my mind at ease saying everything would go to plan and to just enjoy it as it goes so fast. Niamh didn't have to do that but that's the type of person she is. Niamh had a huge welcome for myself & my bridal party that morning. We laughed & laughed. I loved my hair and my 4 Bridemaids were so happy too. We had mighty craic in the salon and I would recommend the Hair Fairy to anyone getting married as Niamh adds something special to make sure your wedding day kicks off to a great start and that's what it's all about. She is the best! super talented and very passionate about bridal hair.

I found Niamh wonderful to deal with. I have very fine hair and my hair for the wedding day was one of the things I was most worried about. Niamh gave me great advice and I have to say that I was more than 100% happy with my hair - It was so nice and it looked so good in all the photos. I would definitely recommend Niamh.

The hair fairy... what a fantastic addition to my wedding. I had gone to a few different hair stylists to get hair trials done which unfortunately didn't quite work out for me. A few friends had recommended the hair fairy so I went for a trial. From the minute I walked in she was so welcoming and professional. I explained what I wanted and she was the first person to hit the nail on the head. I was thrilled and relieved with the hair trial and booked her straight away. On the morning of the wedding she was a great addition to the overall atmosphere. Each of my 4 bridesmaids were delighted with their upstyles and even my mum who had quite short hair had it nicely styled for the day. All of our styles stayed throughout the day and you could see that she is a perfectionist and wouldn't complete until everything was spot on. She had 6 hair styles to do and did them exactly as we wanted with a very quick turn around time. She also completely put me at ease on the morning and knew just what to say as she had recently been through it also. I would highly recommend the Hair fairy. Pleasure to have there on your big day.

From the moment I met Niamh she was so professional and easy to deal with. She is so friendly, patient and honest and recommends exactly what hairstyle will suit you. From the day of the hair trial I was fully assured that I was in safe hands. The morning of the wedding Niamh was at my house bright and early at 8am and was there right up to before we left for the church to fit the veil and be available for any touch ups. On the morning she did my own hair which i couldn't have been happier with, my 3 bridesmaids, my mothers and godmothers. Everyone got on great with Niamh and she just added to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere of the morning. I would definitely recommend Niamh to any bride to be. In my opinion you won't get any better!!

Niamh did mine and 3 bridesmaid's hair for my wedding. She was absolutely fantastic from the minute I first contacted her to the day of the wedding. I showed her a photo of what I wanted, which she emulated perfectly. (She also suggested extensions for my hair and told me exactly where to get them) My bridesmaids were also delighted with her work as she listened to what they liked and made sure they were happy too. She is a true professional and made the morning of my wedding so relaxed and enjoyable with her bubbley personality. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any future brides.
