Hi, I’m Olivia — but everyone calls me Liv

Bridal Hair & Colour Specialist | TWIA Regional Finalist 2026 | Bronze Finalist – The Beautiful Awards

I’m a bridal hairstylist in Camborne, Cornwall, based at No. 40 Hair & Beauty and offering on-location wedding hairstyling across Cornwall , including Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, and Newquay. I specialize in bespoke, romantic, and smooth bridal hairstyles designed to suit each bride’s personal style, combining elegance, softness, and lasting hold.

I have worked with over 100 brides and also have 16 years of experience in the hair industry. My journey began in 2018 into Bridal hair , and I’ve been dedicated to helping brides feel confident and beautiful ever since. I’m continuously expanding my skills through advanced training, including Kristina Kappas’ bridal styling education, Marissa Grace, The and TIGI cutting and colouring courses, ensuring every look is modern, polished, and timeless.

At your Style Session we’ll explore a couple of different styles, try out accessories or extensions, and plan every detail for your perfect wedding morning. You’ll also receive a personalised bridal hair prep guide and ongoing support via WhatsApp, so you’ll feel completely confident leading up to your big day.

Outside of hairstyling, I’m a Wife , mum of two, energetic boys who loves beach walks, crafts, swimming, and eating out , my family inspires the calm, positive energy I bring to every wedding morning.

“Liv was absolutely incredible as my wedding hair stylist! She created the most beautiful hairstyles for me and my bridesmaids, and brought such a calm, friendly energy to the morning. I would 100% recommend her to any bride.”

Fully insured with the FHA, I create soft, modern bridal hair that photographs beautifully, lasts all day, and makes you feel like the best version of yourself.

2025… what a year. 🤍 So many beautiful mornings, so much excitement, giggles of happy happiness and moments of calm, and so many unforgettable brides. Each wedding reminded me why I love creating that peaceful, grounded start to the day — the moment everything slows down and the bride can finally breathe. And now I’m taking everything I’ve learned into something new for my 2027 brides.

Low bun, soft pieces, pearls and a little secret trick 😉 Clip-in + padding made Sarah’s hairstyle dream come true. 💬 Would you consider padding or extensions to make your wedding hair dreams happen too?

Cornish weather = wet, windy & unpredictable 🌧️ I can never guarantee hair will last in it… but I have heard that it has , it’s always the best feeling when it does 🙌 Bride → soft waves, German plait + romantic height ( Bride had natural fine to thick hair but we added extensions for more less and thickness. Bridesmaid → effortless messy bun ( Hair was fine with extension weave ) Mother of the Groom → textured bun from natural curls ( Thick , course & naturally curly ) • #CornwallLife #BrideToBe2025 #bʀɪᴅᴇᴛᴏʙᴇ2026 #HalfUpHalfDownHair #MessyBunHair #TexturedBun #weddingupdoideas #DevonAndCornwallWeddings #SouthWestWedding #UKBride #ukweddingstylist

The secret behind Pinterest bridal hair ✨ Most inspo pics you save? • They use padding, extensions, or both. Tammie had fine hair + a it was a humid day… so we added extensions for: 💫 Fuller curls to back combing and volume powder needed . 💫 Extra length so the half-up style really popped . One extension added in middle and two small sections added to the sides . Not sure if your dream style needs extensions? We can test it at your bridal trial – with and without – so you see the difference. 💕 📅 2025 dates are nearly full 📖 2026 + 2027 diary open • Suppliers: Hair : @hairbylivbridal Mua : @beyoutiful_2011 Photographer:@geoginarichardsphotograohy Food : @saltandwind Cake:@ambercakedesign Car : @vwwedhire Band: @soggy Entertainment: @little_eden_entertainment Seamstress- Deborah copper Celebrant: @cornwallcouncil Venue : @roswarne.venue • #BridalHairCornwall #BridalHairStylist #HalfUpBridalHair #CornwallBride #BridalExtensions #WeddingHairInspo #WeddingHairThatLasts #FineHairBrides #BridalHairPrep #bridaltrialrun

✨ Bridesmaid hair dilemma solved! ✨ • If you’re not sure what style to choose for your bridal party, a textured ponytail is one of the best options. Here’s why: ✔️ Stays put all day – no curls dropping, no frizz panic ✔️ Works for most hair styles unless very curly or thick . ✔️ Quick to create, saving precious morning time ✔️ Looks elegant from every angle in photos • While half-up styles are beautiful, they usually need more prep (lots of curling & smoothing). For bigger bridal parties, an updo like a textured ponytail can keep things stress-free and on schedule. • Save this post for INSPO Stunning makeup by @makeupbyhannahsymons • #weddingmorningvibes #CornwallBride #UKBrideToBe #BrideToBe2025#BridalHairSpecialist #ModernBridalHair #effortlessbridalhairstyle

Trial vs. wedding morning — here’s how we softened Jade’s look 👇 • At her trial, Jade went for a textured bun. On the wedding morning, we refined the style — adding soft, polished curls to frame her face and loosening the bun to allow more pieces of hair to fall naturally. The result? A romantic, effortless look with the perfect balance of polished and relaxed 🤍✨ • #CornwallBrides #BridalHairInspo #BridalHairstylist #CornwallWedding #CornwallBridalHair #BridalHairIdeas #WeddingHairInspo #BridalStylist #WeddingMorningMagic #trialtoaisle

What Brides Say

“Olivia was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about booking bridal hair. Me and my 3 year old daughter went to her for a haircut a few months before the wedding and she was great at making sure she felt welcome and comfortable. I was really impressed at how much time and effort Olivia put in to my bridal hair trial and it really helped me to decide on which style I wanted for the day. Olivia was also a very calm and welcome presence on the wedding morning despite things getting a bit stressful due to water being cut off at the the hotel we were getting ready at. She went above and beyond to help out and did a wonderful job of both mine and my daughter’s hair. Olivia also provided a detailed hair prep plan for me to make sure I was using the best shampoo/hair care for my hair to ensure my bridal hair lasted well - which it really did! I am so pleased that I decided to book Olivia and me and Zennor will definitely continue using her service

Jade
Olivia was my bridal hairstylist on my wedding day in September 2025 and I could not have been happier. She styled my own hair plus 3 others without any trial due to the distance we lived away from her and our wedding venue. Olivia was a delight to spend time with on my special day bringing with her a sense of calm and kindness. She went above and beyond to help with my dress. Thank you so much - I would re-book in a heartbeat.

Keira
“Olivia is fantastic! I found myself in an unfortunate situation where the person I'd booked to do my hair pulled out a few weeks before my wedding and Olivia stepped in to save the day. She was speedy and helpful via email, we quickly booked in a hair trial and arranged everything for the morning of the big day. Together we came up with the perfect style. The morning of was a little hectic and Olivia stayed calm throughout, making sure everyone's hair was perfect before we left for the church (me, my mum and two bridesmaids). So many guests complimented our hair and it stayed in throughout the day, even through some wild dancing on the dancefloor! I really can't recommend Olivia highly enough, book her - you won't regret it!

Aimee
“Excellent from start to finish Liv provides a wonderful service not just on the wedding day but throughout the journey from hair trial to providing tips on hair prep etc. she has a very calming presence and is lovely to talk to. She did a phenomenal job on my hair and my bridal party. I would 100% recommend
