Karen Amelia Hair Full Description
Hello, I am Karen Amelia, a professional hairstylist based in Berkshire. I offer a luxury service for weddings and special occasions. After spending many years working in a variety of customer facing roles, I discovered my true passion in hairstyling and decided to dedicate my time to bridal. I embarked on a journey to learn all there was to know and I am proud to say I am self taught. Since starting my business in 2020, I've had the privilege of seeing some of the most beautiful venues and witnessing over 300 brides get ready for their most special day. Having worked with clients of all ages and hair texture, deepening my knowledge and expertise, this has enabled me to refine my skills and provide a personalised service tailored to each brides unique preferences. I truly believe each and every bride deserves to feel incredible on their special day and my aim is to ensure you are feeling happy, confident and beautiful when you are ready to say ‘i do’. There really is no better feeling than being a part of that process which makes this the best job in the world and I am lucky to be able to share these magical moments with you and your loved ones. My signature style is sophisticated and romantic glamour. I specialise in creating timeless styles that combine trending looks with a modern twist that will last from morning till noon. I work closely with you to ensure everything is tailored to your personal needs with an unmatched attention to detail. Every bride deserves to feel special and I take pride in understanding that it takes more than just one element to achieve that on the day. I have had so many uplifting and rewarding experiences with my brides and their family. The feedback has been joyus to receive knowing that it's the small things that have made such a difference to your wedding mornings. ‘More than just a stylist’ I hear in my feedback but don't just take my word for it head over to my testimonials to hear what some of my previous brides said

Come 10pm, still looked perfect!
I used Karen for my wedding after she was recommended to me and wow! I will be recommending her to all of my friends and anyone I know who is going to get married! She was so friendly, so lovely and super helpful! My hair doesn’t hold very well usually and I went for a half up half down look and even come 10pm it still looked perfect! All the bridesmaids hair looked beautiful and we all couldn’t have been happier and couldn’t have asked for anymore and we all received so many compliments.

I knew I was in safe hands
Karen truly is the best in the business! From beginning to end, Karen was incredibly helpful, encouraging and thoughtful. She is super talented, and at my trial she completely nailed the brief for my hair and I knew I was in safe hands for my bridesmaids as well. Karen's studio is the perfect place to try out your look for the day and she made me feel so welcome and comfortable. On my wedding day, it was like she was part of my bridal party party.

Karen is the extra helping hand you need
Karen is truly incredible. There aren't enough words to describe how brilliant her work is! Alongside her talent, patience and knowledge, Karen is the extra helping hand/ bridesmaid you need on your wedding day! Not only did Karen make myself the bride, and my beautiful mum and bridesmaids feel amazing, she also helped me get into my dress! Karen also helped when my little girl decided to drop about 500 hair elastics on the floor mid morning rush! Karen is the girl you need for your wedding morn

Karen was amazing
I am so glad I found Karen for our wedding she did the hair styling for myself and two bridesmaids. From the beginning Karen was so helpful suggesting ideas and letting me know what would work well for my hair. The end result was so beautiful and my style lasted the entire day and evening. I had so many compliments throughout the day and was so happy with how it turned out. Karen was so friendly and made sure getting ready that morning was stress free even helping my bridesmaid with her dress. Thank you again xx

Absolutely recommend!
I am so glad I found Karen! After changing our wedding date for the 4th time, I had to find a new hair supplier. I came across Karen’s Instagram and loved her work so enquired. Karen was super efficient and we booked in and booked a trial really quickly. I felt instantly comfortable with Karen and was really happy following my trial. On the day, Karen was such a calming influence and worked really well with our makeup artist to make sure we were always running to time. My bridesmaids had hair that notoriously ‘doesn’t curl’ yet Karen managed to curl it and make it last all day! She also did my mum’s hair and helped her with her hat etc so that the bands of the hat were covered for which my mum was very grateful. My hair was absolutely perfect and didn’t move even a millimetre all day. I wanted it up but soft and was nervous as I usually wear my hair down, but Karen did such an excellent job making me still feel like me. I would 100% recommend Karen for any bridal party and will definitely be getting my hair done for occasions by her in the future!!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

From the initial enquiry I ask lots of questions as I want to really get to know the bride. We will discuss what styles she likes and build up a good understanding of the style for the big day. We then arrange a trial a few months before the big day to discuss the hair design, dress shape, colour theme, hair accessories and trial a few different styles until the bride is happy. I then set a timeline for the morning of the wedding so nothing is left to chance. Once the bride is happy with all the arrangements a consultation form is signed. On the morning off the wedding day I will arrive in good time to set up and start the hair prep. I will not leave until the bride is happy and my services are no longer required. Followed up shortly after the wedding day to check everything went smoothly and congratulate on her special day.
