ANNETTE BRADFORD - ELEGANCE BRIDAL COIFFURE
Following a hugely successful 35+ years career in salon hairdressing Annette Bradford opened Elegance Bridal Coiffure in October 2011 – a unique salon concept centering around Bridal hair.
“ I have always had a passion for creating stunning up-dos and Bridal hair allows my creative passion to come through. Today’s brides are more daring and more aware of what you can create with imagination and a can of hair spray! I wanted to create a romantic space for Brides to come to, where they could begin their wedding day preparations and leave totally excited for their big day – a place where their dreams became reality. Elegance bridal Coiffure was born”.
With just one backwash with leather massage bed, Elegance Bridal coiffure centres around a personal ‘by appointment only’ concept. The salon’s design is unique too taking inspiration from the pages of Elle deco and Ideal Home and Vougue magazine. Two huge chandeliers take center stage, along with an eye catching French chateau inspired mirror standing proud from floor to ceiling. The two cream leather styling chairs have been imported from Italy.And everywhere you look you’ll see Wedding accessories, from exclusive hand-made tiaras to stunning floral displays. The salon also has a beauty room for treatments including Microdermabrasion, waxing, tanning, facials, body treatments, manicures and pedicures, individual lashes, make up plus lots more.
Annette offers a complimentary consultation to all Brides to discuss hair and make-up ideas. Annette encourages her brides to bring pictures and accessories with them so that together they can create a wedding day hair style that complements the total look. Annette goes one step further and suggests that to the hair trial Brides being with them their hair accessories and even their dress! “ Having the exclusive use of the salon means that a Bride can preview her total look in complete privacy”. This attention to detail works towards putting a Bride at ease
A word from a Bride:
.
Annette did both my hair and make up on my wedding day and she did a truly wonderful job: I felt amazing! Annette also did my bridesmaids' hair, each with a different style and all three of them looked stunning. So many people commented on how beautiful we all looked and a massive part of that was down to Annette. From the trial to the actual day, Annette was professional, listened to what I wanted and was able to make my ideas into a reality whilst also coming up with suggestions as to what would work for me. She made me feel comfortable and gave me a really natural look, which was important to me as I don't usually like to wear too much make-up. I would not hesitate in recommending her - in fact, one of my bridesmaids is actually using her for her own wedding day - testament to Annette's skill and professionalism! Rachael x

Your artistry and skillful ability stunned us all and Ruth thinks you are amazing and can’t say enough positive things about the work you do. Ruth tells me you are a lovely person and smiles whenever she speaks of you. Thank you for making her smile and taking the stress out of such an important part of our wedding day. Your professionalism through your work is clear and you made every effort to put Ruth at ease during her correspondence with you and also whilst working with you. Thank you again for making Ruth so happy, your work is incredible, you are an artist at what you do, you create beautiful sculptures with hair. I can’t wait to see your work again as she walks towards me
