Hilary helped me choose a wig due to hair loss from chemotherapy. She was very welcoming & friendly and gave me excellent advice on style & colour. She went out of her way to make sure I got the wig I wanted as soon as possible ordering in a few for me to try for fit and colour. I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend her to anybody that finds themselves in a similar situation.

I had the pleasure of Hilary doing mine and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding on the 9th of June 2021. I had to postpone a number of times due to covid and Hilary was so supportive throughout. With the 9th of June getting closer it was difficult getting excited as due to the previous postponements it did not feel like it was finally happening. This completely changed when I went for my hair and make-up trial with Hilary & Sam (Indulge beauty & makeup). It was such a lovely experience and after I saw my hair and make-up together I simply did not want to change a thing. I left not only smiling

Hilary did the most wonderful job on my hairstyle for my wedding. Everything was very last minute due to covid so we didn’t have a chance to do a hair trial but Hilary was really helpful and accommodating leading up to the wedding. I was able to send her pictures of styles I liked and what my hair looked like and she was able to recommend what would suit me best. Even though she’d not styled my hair before, she did the most beautiful hair style for my wedding day. Was able to put some small flowers as hair decorations too. Would recommend her for any wedding.

Thank you Hilary (and your lovely team... Sam & Val) for my beautiful wedding hair and makeup for both me and my bridal party. You did such an amazing job, we all loved our hair / makeup and it stayed perfect all day and night.
We all had such a good laugh on the wedding morning, you definitely helped me to feel more relaxed. I'm so happy I booked you in so far in advance.
Thank you so much!!!! 💞 x x x

Have worked with Hilary many times most recently on a photoshoot. Her work is beautiful & fitted the theme of the shoot wonderfully. The ultimate professional we would happily recommend Hilary to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Hilary at a shoot recently. She was a breath of fresh air, cool, calm and collected, an absolute dream to work alongside. She is knowledgeable, creative and very talented. I look forward to working together hopefully in the near future. I honestly cannot recommend Hilary enough for all your hair styling needs.

I have worked with Hilary on a couple of occasions now and her eye for detail and skill with creating beautiful hairstyles is exceptional. Hilary is a friendly natured person and cares about making her clients look and feel their best. I highly recommend her for all of the above.

Hilary was amazing. She is the most patient woman I have ever met! When I originally went to her for my wedding hair trial we spent a long time figuring out what I wanted. I was happy with it but then when I went home I felt something wasn't right. I emailed her and she booked me in for another trial. During that trial she spent a long time with me again trying to figure out what I wanted and ultimately we ended up going for something totally different and it was perfect. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Amazing lady and works wonders with Hair (and make up). Have been lucky enough to have had my hair cut and styled by Hilary, and to have had a full hair and make over too. She is very talented, listens to what you really want and makes you look beautiful in a very natural way.
