Hairstylist for the modern bride
HERTS | LONDON | DESTINATION
MEET EMMA KIM
Hair has been a passion of mine since the age of 18, when I began my journey as an apprentice in a local salon. For the past 10 years, I’ve specialised in the bridal hair industry, styling brides across the UK as well as destination brides throughout Europe and beyond.
I’ve had the privilege of working on weddings in some of the most iconic locations, including Venice, Lake Como, Tuscany and more—along with being part of the biggest VIP wedding of 2025. My work has also been featured in Tatler Weddings, reflecting my commitment to modern, elevated bridal styling.
I’m known for creating contemporary, effortless, editorial-inspired bridal looks that move away from traditional bridal vibes. My aim is to bring a calm, relaxed presence to your wedding morning, offering a luxury and personalised service wherever you choose to get ready—whether at home, your venue, or across the globe.
Alongside bridal styling, I am a Wella Colourist based in Hertford, specialising in bespoke balayage and modern colour techniques. (Link to pricing/booking to be added.)
I am also passionate about education and supporting fellow stylists. I now offer 1:1 Bridal Hair Training, as well as group workshops for those wanting to break into or elevate their skills in the bridal industry. I am currently working towards my Certificate in Education, further developing my ability to deliver high-quality, structured training.
Sharing my knowledge and helping others build confidence in hair has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
Alongside my bridal work, I am a Tutor at Debut Academy, where I teach teenagers and apprentices, supporting them as they develop the practical skills, creativity and confidence needed for a career in hairdressing.
I also deliver braiding workshops for parents, helping families learn simple, practical techniques to recreate beautiful hairstyles at home.
Building on my passion for education, I will be launching my Bridal Hair Workshops in Autumn 2026. Designed for hairstylists looking to refine their bridal styling skills, these workshops will combine technical expertise with the knowledge and confidence needed to create timeless, luxury bridal looks.
