Hello, and thank you for visiting! I’m Toni, a bridal hair specialist based in Devon. Originally from Essex, I moved here over 20 years ago, and you might still catch a hint of my accent after I've had a glass of wine.
I’ve been married for 15 years and have two children: a 13-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. Our family also includes a 2-year-old Cavapoo named Otis and two Bengal cross indoor cats, Milo and Lily.
We love spending our free time at local beaches, with Beesands and South Milton being our favourite's. I enjoy listening to 90s music, tuning into podcasts and documentaries (especially true crime), and savouring pink gin.
I’m meticulous when it comes to planning and organising, so much so that my family jokes I’m everyone’s personal assistant. I’m known for my incredible patience and ability to bring calm to busy situations. I believe in quality over quantity, which is why I take my time when styling hair to ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for both of us.
If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to chat with you about being your bridal hair specialist.
I’m truly passionate about weddings and feel incredibly honoured to be part of each bride's special day. My commitment is to provide a personalised, high-quality professional service, from the moment you book until your big day arrives!
your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and finding a bridal stylist you trust to understand your vision is essential. I specialise exclusively in bridal hair because it’s my true passion. Together, we’ll craft the perfect hairstyle for your big day.
I love getting to know my brides and being a part of their special day, offering help wherever I can both before and on the big day. Whether it's zipping up dresses, putting on shoes, cutting labels, sewing buttons, tying bows, or handling any last-minute details, I'm always there to lend a hand in those final moments before you walk down the aisle.
I couldn't be happier that I chose Toni to style my hair on my wedding day! She is so calm, kind, and easy to be around - it was an absolute pleasure to have her there in the morning. She really listened to what I wanted, my hair looked perfect all day, and I got so many compliments from everyone at the wedding. At the end of the night, I was truly amazed by how many bobby pins came out of my hair because it had felt so comfortable all day, including through a LOT of dancing!
I initially was drawn to Toni's work because of the variety of looks she had created, and I felt I'd be able to trust her to create the perfect look for me. When I contacted her she was so quick to respond, and very helpful with advice for me and my bridesmaids on how to prep our hair, as well as advising me to book a second stylist due to the size of my bridal party. This really paid off as we had the most relaxed few hours getting ready, and she helped me make the getting ready schedule seamless.
I had a really enjoyable trial at her lovely studio a couple of months before the wedding, where we tried out a couple of different styles to see what I liked and what would suit me. Toni took her time and suggested lots of potential changes or tweaks to each look that I wouldn't have had the right words to describe without her! I felt that she really wanted to get everything just right for me, and the trial with her was one of my favourite things in the run-up to my wedding day.
When the wedding day came, I had changed my mind since the trial and wanted to go for a higher bun than we had tested together, but Toni immediately took that in her stride, and created the most beautiful style for me - better than I could have dreamed. I felt so calm sitting in the chair with her working on my hair, as I knew that I could trust her amazing skill. After my style was completed, she even followed me around the house to perfectly place my pearl hair pins, and later to put my veil in before the reveal with my family and bridesmaids.
Three of my bridesmaids also had their hair styled by Toni, all with very different hair types, and and all of them looked absolutely wonderful. I could see how confident they all felt throughout the day as a result, and their styles lasted beautifully as well. It was so lovely that Toni stayed with us right up until we left for the ceremony to make any adjustments needed and to make sure we all looked perfect - we could tell that she was really invested in us having an amazing day!
I couldn't recommend Toni enough to other brides, and I hope I'll get a chance to have her style my hair again. She is so skilled and a true professional, as well as being the loveliest person - she's exactly who you want around on such an important morning!
Toni is the best hair stylist you could book! From the first message, to my hair trial, to my actual wedding day she was an absolute GEM and made me and all my bridesmaids feel so comfortable. I was a nervous wreck the morning of my wedding and Toni brought the most calming presence and made it an amazing and relaxing experience that turned those nerves into excitement. Toni is so professional but at the same time makes you feel as though you have known her forever! Thank you so much Toni, you made me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life and I will forever be grateful. Potential brides - book her now, you will not regret it!
I am a certified Hannah Taylor Bridal Hairstylist.
