About Liv

Woman with red wavy hair seated in a beige swivel chair indoors, wearing a light gray blazer, black top, black leggings with cutouts, and black high-heeled sandals. Behind her, a large window with a view of trees, a decorative mirror, a vase with dried flowers, and magazines are on a windowsill. A 'People' magazine featuring a woman on the cover rests on the floor in the corner.

I bring a calm, considered, and quietly fun energy to every bridal morning. Married with two energetic boys, I understand how to keep things organised, joyful, and stress-free — even when there’s a lot going on.

Fully insured and trusted by brides across Cornwall and beyond, I create polished, natural styles that are uniquely yours whether you’re local or travelling for your wedding.

Hi, I'm Olivia — although most of my brides know me simply as Liv.

I'm the owner of The Liv Bridal Hair Studio in Redruth, Cornwall, and specialise in timeless bridal hair, bespoke colour, cutting and occasion styling. I'm proud to be a 2026 Regional Finalist for The Wedding Industry Awards and a Bronze Finalist at The Beautiful Awards.

With over 16 years of experience and more than 100 brides styled, I create elegant hairstyles that feel effortless, photograph beautifully and are designed to last from your first look until the last dance—even in Cornwall's coastal weather.

My signature style is sleek, refined and modern, with soft face-framing details that enhance your features while still feeling like you. Every hairstyle is tailored to your dress, hair type and personal style, ensuring a look that's timeless rather than trend-led.

Owning a salon means I can support you far beyond your wedding morning. From healthy hair advice and bespoke colour to treatments, cuts and styling in the months leading up to your wedding, I help you achieve the best possible foundation for your bridal hairstyle.

The Liv Bridal Hair Studio has been thoughtfully designed with brides in mind—a calm, welcoming space where you can relax, enjoy your Style Session and feel completely looked after. Alongside your appointment, you'll also be able to browse a carefully chosen collection of bridal hair accessories, bridal jewellery and professional haircare products, making it easy to complete your bridal look all in one place.

From your very first enquiry, I've created a seamless booking experience. Using my online enquiry form, you'll gain access to your own secure bridal portal through Creative Freedom. You can log in at any time to upload inspiration photos, leave notes, view your wedding morning schedule, keep track of payments you've made, see your remaining balance, and access all of your booking details in one place. You'll also have ongoing WhatsApp support, so whether you have a question, want to make a small tweak to your hairstyle, or simply need reassurance along the way, I'm only a message away.

When you book with me, you're investing in more than beautiful hair—you're investing in an experience. Every part of my service has been designed to give you confidence and peace of mind, from our first conversation to the moment you walk down the aisle. My focus is on exceptional communication, meticulous planning and being a reliable, calming presence on one of the most important mornings of your life. It's a premium, personal service, created for brides who value quality, organisation and knowing they're in experienced hands.

I welcome both local and destination brides across Cornwall and Devon, guiding you through every stage of your journey. Your personalised Style Session allows us to perfect your hairstyle, try accessories or extensions if needed, and create a bespoke hair plan tailored entirely to you.

My goal is simple: to create beautiful hair while giving you a calm, organised and enjoyable experience, so you can relax and truly enjoy every moment.

STOP SCROLLING—because this one is special 😭🤍 My first wedding of the yearback in April and I got to create TWO completely different bridal looks… ✨ Bride one: soft, sculpted updo with that dreamy veil moment ✨ Bride two: natural curls, enhanced with curling for that full, defined, romantic finish. And then seeing them together in their dresses + that confetti moment 🥹🎉 Pure magic from start to finish. Proof that your bridal hair should feel like you , just elevated ✨🫶 @orchardbridalartists makeup Venue @abovethebay_ #TwoBrides #BridalHair #NaturalCurls #WeddingHairStylist #LoveIsLove

Planning a Cornwall wedding from miles away? Here’s what I want you to know. You don’t need to stress about finding a bridal stylist you can trust when you’ve never met them in person. I’ve styled hundreds of brides who traveled from London, the Midlands, even abroad — and every single one has said the same thing: ‘I wish I’d found you sooner.’ I offer virtual consultations so we can talk through your vision, your dress, your hair concerns — all before you even arrive, style sessions can be done a few days before wedding. By the time your wedding morning comes, you’ll feel like you’ve known me for months. DM me CORNWALL and I’ll send you everything you need to know.” @stanforcreators #standaretopost #cornwallwedding #destinationbride
