MY SIGNATURE STYLES
LAURIE // HOLLYWOOD WAVES
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Make up: Rebecca Saulters
Photography: David Cavan
Florist: Harriett Reilly Floral Design
​
About the style: Laurie had naturally fine hair that did not hold a curl well, so in order to create beautiful, full and long lasting Hollywood waves, Laurie needed a full head of clip in extensions added that allowed me to create her dream wedding hair. Hollywood waves are time intensive to create and are not a suitable option for bridesmaids hair due to time constraints, unless we discuss this at your trial. Allow 1.5 - 2 hours for Hollywood waves.
TIMEA // TEXTURED BEACH WAVES WITH BOHO BRAID
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Make up: Julie Toal
Photography: Rob Dight, Epic Love Photography
Florist: Victoriana Floral
​
About the style: Timea had fine hair and wanted extra length and volume for her wedding day. After adding a full head of clip in extensions I was able to create a beautiful thick fishtail braid with tumbling voluminous beachy waves for her elopement wedding. When extensions are applied it significantly increases the amount of time needed to curl the extra hair. This dreamy boho look took just over 2 hours to create.
BETHANY // FISHTAIL CROWN BRAID
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: Deborah K Design
Make up: Rebecca Duff
Photography: Bethany Chisholm
​
About the style: Bethany had medium thickness hair with good length, so I was able to make her braids flow around in a perfect halo. She had some long layers through her hair which helped to prevent any thick or blunt paintbrush-like ends sticking out from the braids. Her short layers at the front worked perfectly to soften the look and frame her face.
BECKY // HOLLYWOOD WAVES / TEXTURED PONYTAILS
​
​Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: Deborah K Design
Make up: Natalie McNab
Photography: Shannon Mullan
Florist: Milson and Berry
​
About the style: I styled Becky's Hollywood waves using a full head of clip in extensions. Her bridesmaids chose to wear low modern textured ponytails which complimented Becky's style perfectly.
CHAR // TEXTURED LOW BUN
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Make up: done by the bride
Photography: Rob Dight
Florist: The Rosehip and Berry
​
About the style: Char asked me to create an effortless looking updo with lots of texture and loose pieces, yet something secure enough to withstand the breezy North Coast winds on her wedding day. Char had medium thickness hair - perfect for creating a whole head of textured curls. Extensions were not needed for her updo.
ELVYNA // SMOOTH LOW BUN
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: wed2be
Make up: the bride
Photography: Rob Dight
Florist: Victoriana Floral
​
About the style: Elvyna wanted an effortless looking low messy bun with a smooth crown area. Before her wedding she got some highlights and lighter tones added through her hair to emphasise the texture and detail in her bun.
SIGNATURE BRIDESMAID TEXTURED LOW BUN
​
Perfect for hair that is: mid length, holds a curl exceptionally well, layered hair, medium to light coloured hair / multi tonal hair.
SUZIE // MID HEIGHT TEXTURED BUN
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: Pearl & Hugo London
Make up: Ellen Lunney
Photography: Colin Colleran
​
About the style: Suzie's hair was naturally quite easy to work with. A few rows of extensions were added for extra length for the updo; primarily to add more volume to create the beautiful texture and interesting detail you see in the twists of the bun.
ROSIE // SMOOTH BEACH WAVES WITH BOHO BRAID
​
​Hair: Kim Annesley

Photography: Pop Photography
Florist: The Lovely Little Flower Co
​
About the style: Rosie wanted to wear hear hair in a boho half up half down with a side braid and loose curls. As Rosie had quite thin hair that lacked volume, we needed to use a full head of clip in extensions to create more volume and body. When I used hair for her braid and then pinned her remaining hair into a half up, she still had lots of hair to tumble over her shoulders and frame her face beautifully.
CARLA // TEXTURED LOW BUN
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Make up: Natalie McNab
Photography: Pop Photography
Florist: Flowers at the Mill (instagram)
​
About the style: Carla had hair that did not hold a curl, but she had a lot of it, so I was still able to create lots of beautiful detail and texture in her updo which was emphasised by her natural highlights and lovely blonde tones through her hair.
NIAMH // TEXTURED UNDONE LOW BUN
​Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: The Little Pearl Co
Make up: Anna McConnell
Photography: Kellie Scott
Florist: Wood n Earth
​
About the style: Niamh decided on an effortless looking and textured bun. No extensions were used in Niamh's updo as she had a good length and thickness to work with.
BETHANY // MINIMALISTIC HOLYWOOD WAVE
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: Deborah K Design
Make up: Rebecca Duff
Photography: Bethany Chisholm
​
About the style: Bethany had medium thickness hair that held a curl exceptionally well, so I was able to create her long Hollywood waves without the use of clip in extensions. Her waves were able to cope with a lot of brushing out - a must-do in order for me to create those beautiful seamless waves.
JOANNA // TEXTURED + ROMANTIC LOOSE LOW BUN
​
Hair: Kim Annesley
Hair accessory: The Little Pearl Co
Make up: Ellen Lunney
Photography: Tracy Steele
Florist: Victoriana Floral
​
About the style: Joanna's hair was naturally very good at holding a curl which meant that the texture I created in her updo worked really well. I also added 3 rows of clip in extensions for extra length and volume for her bun. Joanna wanted a romantic and "undone" looking updo with lots of face framing pieces.
