At Hoop Hair Salon in Clacton-on-Sea, we understand just how important it is to feel beautiful, confident, and completely yourself on your wedding day.

Planning your wedding hairstyle in advance is key to achieving that picture-perfect look. Our team of expert stylists are here to guide you through every step of the process, from your first consultation right through to the final touches on your special day.
Popular Bridal Hair Trends
Bridal hair trends for this season are all about softness, romance, and timeless beauty. Textured updos remain a favourite, offering a mix of elegance and natural volume. From low buns to loose chignons, these styles create a graceful silhouette that works beautifully with veils or hair accessories.
Soft Hollywood waves are making a big return, ideal for brides seeking a classic, red-carpet feel. Paired with a deep side part and some shine, this look oozes glamour and works especially well for modern or evening ceremonies.
For more relaxed weddings, half-up, half-down styles continue to be a top choice. They offer the best of both worlds – structure and flow – and are perfect for showcasing your hair’s natural movement. Braids, twists and hair vines can be woven in for an added touch of charm.
Brides embracing a more contemporary aesthetic are also loving slick ponytails, wet-look buns and minimal styling paired with bold accessories. These styles are chic, clean, and ideal for confident brides who love a fashion-forward look.
When to Book Your Bridal Hair Trial
We always recommend booking your bridal hair trial at least three months before the big day. This gives you time to explore a few styles and make sure everything works beautifully with your dress and any accessories you plan to wear. A trial also allows your stylist to get to know your hair type, texture, and preferences, ensuring a flawless finish on the day.
On the morning of your wedding, your stylist will arrive at your venue or prepare a calm and relaxing space in our salon. We’ll recreate your chosen style, ensuring everything is perfectly in place and tailored to the day’s timings and setting.
FAQs About Wedding Hair
How long does bridal hair take on the day?
We usually allow around one hour for the bride and around 30–45 minutes for each bridesmaid or guest. Your stylist will work with you to create a detailed timeline so your morning runs smoothly.
Can I bring my veil or accessories to the trial?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. Trying on accessories with your hairstyle helps you feel confident about your final look and allows your stylist to position everything securely.
What should I do to prepare my hair?
We’ll advise you during your trial, but generally, freshly washed hair from the day before works best. Avoid heavy products and let us know if you’re planning any colour or treatment appointments beforehand.
Can You Come to My Wedding Venue?
Yes, we offer in-salon and mobile wedding hair services, depending on your preference and location. Just let us know your plans and we’ll tailor a package to suit.
We have a wide range of options to choose from with our bridal packages and can suit most budgets. At your bridal hair consultation, your Hoop Hair bridal hair stylist will discuss the theme of your wedding, the size of your bridal party and your location on the day of the wedding.
We can visit you at your venue or you are more than welcome to come into the salon with your bridal party for a fun, relaxing morning of pampering.

Tips for Making Your Bridal Hair Last All Day
To make sure your hairstyle stays flawless from morning to night, we use professional styling products that offer lasting hold without stiffness or residue. We also anchor accessories and veils securely, with discreet pins and techniques that won’t slip or slide throughout the day.
Choosing a style that suits your hair type is essential. If your hair is naturally fine, adding clip-in extensions or padding can create the volume needed for more intricate styles. If your wedding is outdoors or you’re worried about wind and humidity, we’ll help you choose a style that can handle the elements while still looking effortlessly beautiful.
It’s also important to keep your hair in excellent condition in the months leading up to your wedding. Regular trims, treatments and colour appointments will ensure your hair looks and feels its very best. Our team can recommend the perfect hair care regime using your favourite salon products, so you feel wedding-ready from root to tip.
