FAQ

Yes!! It makes a big difference. A pre-wedding blow wave helps prepare the hair for styling the next day, giving your final look better hold, shape, and longevity. It’s especially helpful if you or your bridesmaids have naturally curly or textured hair and are opting for a smoother style. It also helps your wedding morning run more smoothly and efficiently, as much of the prep work is already done—allowing you more time to relax and enjoy the getting-ready experience.

 

Yes, I do offer customised packages—and they tend to get even better with larger bridal parties. If you’re booking for multiple people, there are lovely options available. Get in touch with your numbers and I’ll be happy to put something together just for you.

 

I don’t supply extensions, but I’m more than happy to work with clip-ins and can expertly blend and style them on the day. While I don’t offer permanent extensions myself, I can absolutely recommend trusted professionals if you’re looking for that option ahead of your wedding. If you’re unsure what’s best for your desired style, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to offer guidance.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cara do my hair for a recent wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the result. She created the most beautiful up-do that matched my reference pic perfectly! It worked so well with my bridesmaid dress but also held flawlessly throughout the entire day and night! Cara was warm, professional, and added such a friendly/calm presence on the day! I can't recommend Cara highly enough for any bride or guest in need of an incredible hairdresser!

I hired Cara for my wedding. I didn’t have the exact photo of what I wanted but she absolutely pulled off what I envisioned! I was so happy! She was great to chat to and super easy going. All the bridesmaids were so happy with their hair too. Absolutely recommend her work!

I’ve had my hair styled by Cara at Hair by Cara for several special events now, and she nails it every single time! From the moment you sit in her chair, she’s bubbly, fun, and instantly puts you at ease. She’s incredibly professional and has this perfect balance of keeping the mood calm and relaxed while still making the whole experience fun and enjoyable. I absolutely loved every style she’s created for me—she really listens and brings your vision to life. I was so impressed that I now see Cara regularly for my haircuts and colours too. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!
