Máire Johnson
Bridal Hair Stylist


My name is Máire Johnson, a Dingle based award winning bridal hair stylist with over 14 years’ experience in hairdressing. I recently decided to dedicate myself fully to bridal styling, because there is something uniquely special and rewarding about being part of the bride and her family on her wedding day. My services don’t just stop with the bride. I am available to style family of the groom, guests for special occasions, or even for the relaxed ‘day two’ celebrations.

    Bridal Package 1

    Your wedding day is too special to worry about rushing to salons or battling traffic. That’s why I come to you, wherever you're getting ready. Whether it’s your home, a hotel suite, or a cozy Airbnb, I’ll arrive fully prepared to create stunning hairstyles for you and your entire bridal party. And I won't rush off afterward. I'll stay with you right until you're about to leave for the ceremony. That last hour is reserved for final touch-ups, ensuring every strand is perfectly placed, and I'll be there to expertly position your veil, if you're wearing one.

    Bridal Package 2

    This package gives you all the comfort of the first, but let's add even more peace of mind. After you’ve exchanged vows and taken those first photos as a married couple, I'll meet you again to refresh your hairstyle. I’ll keep every curl or braid in place through an emotional ceremony and unpredictable weather, especially here in Ireland, is not an easy task! Rain, wind, or sunshine, I'll be there, ready to ensure your hair looks just as gorgeous as it did when you first stepped down the aisle.

    Bridal Package 3

    Want to wow everyone not just once, but twice on your wedding day? Well, here's the ultimate styling package. It covers all the pampering of the first two packages, but with a delightful twist. Before you sit down to your wedding dinner or glide onto the dance floor for your first dance, I'll transform your hairstyle entirely. Fancy switching from an elegant (updo) to romantic, flowing curls? Or maybe you'd love a fresh accessory to match your evening look? Whatever style change you have in mind, I’ll seamlessly create it for you. After all, who says you can't have two dream hairstyles on your wedding day?

    Máire was an absolute star on the morning of our wedding. I was absolutely obsessed with my hair! There wasn’t a rib out of place and it lasted the whole day and night!! We had gone for photos on Ventry beach and around Slea head, you can imagine the wind in October and my hair was still perfect when I got to our drinks reception!!

    Not only was Máire a five star hair dresser she helped to save the day when I covered the sleeve of my dress in bronzer, keeping unbelievably calm and helping us sort the situation. And she also captured the cutest video of my Dad seeing me in my dress for the first time !! She was an honorary bridesmaid on the day and my family and bridesmaids praise her every time we talk about the morning of the wedding !!

    Máire is absolutely amazing at what she does with hair and her personality and calming nature make the morning something special !!! She is a MUST for your wedding morning

    From the moment I booked Máire for my wedding, she was incredible! She created a timeline to get my hair in the best possible condition ahead of the big day, and from there, everything was seamless. At the hair trial, she was so attentive and completely focused on me! She gave me brilliant tips and reminders in the lead-up, not just hair-related, but thoughtful little things that could easily slip your mind on the day. We had such lovely chats and laughs in the lead-up, which made the whole experience even more special
    On the morning of the wedding, she was an absolute dream. She’s so easy to be around and brought such a lovely energy to the room. I LOVED my hair! it was so me and exactly what I had hoped for I honestly couldn’t have been happier, and so many people commented on it both on the day and after!
    Máire also styled the hair for my four bridesmaids, each with their own ideas, and she made it all look effortless! Every single one of them looked gorgeous and felt amazing. She also styled my mom’s hair beautifully with her fascinator, she was delighted and looked stunning.

    I can’t recommend Máire highly enough - so talented, thoughtful, and just a joy to have as part of the day. Thank you for everything!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Máire she was truly a dream to work with and played such a special role in my wedding day. From the very first trial, she took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that elevated the look even more than I imagined.

    On the big day, Máire was calm, punctual, and incredibly professional. She created a hairstyle that was elegant, timeless, and so “me”—it held beautifully all day and night, even through happy tears and hours of dancing. I felt confident, radiant, and completely myself.

    Not only is Máire incredibly talented, but she also brought such a warm and calming energy to the morning. She made the whole experience stress-free and not just for me, but for my bridesmaid and mom too. Everyone looked stunning.

    If you’re looking for a bridal stylist who is both an artist and a true professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Máire. Thank you for helping me feel like the best version of myself on the most important day of my life!

    When I got engaged and started planning the wedding, Maire was one of the very first people I booked. I always knew she’d be the one to do my wedding hair—there was never going to be anyone else. She’s honestly amazing at what she does.

    Curls never last in my hair, so I was convinced I’d have to go for an updo (which I really didn’t want). But Maire just said, “Don’t worry—go with the style you want, the curls will hold.” And she was absolutely right. I’ve had my hair curled so many times over the years and it always falls flat within an hour or two—but not this time. The curls lasted all night long. I don’t know what kind of magic she worked, but my hair looked amazing.

    On top of her talent, Maire is such a breath of fresh air. She’s like one of the girls on the morning of the wedding—helping my mom with her dress, having the chats, and just being a calm, laid-back presence when things can feel a bit chaotic.

    I absolutely loved my hair—it honestly looked like something out of a bridal magazine. I’ll never ever have a hair day like that again!

    100% recommend Maire to any future brides to be she’s the best.

    Máire was an absolute dream to have on the morning of our wedding ✨from the moment I booked her, I realised how chill and easy going she was. Máire arrived lovely and early and chatted and engaged with us all morning. No style was an issue, even when decided the morning of ,All of us received endless compliments on our hair! We did our pictures beforehand so I was unsure my hair would hold up, but lo and behold Máire showed up at the church to give me a quick touch up before heading up the aisle.

    I also booked Maire for the following day, she happily came to the hotel to us and got all of our tired heads prepped for day two!

    I couldn’t recommend Máire enough and hope to have her for future events!

    I cannot thank Máire enough for the incredible job she did on my wedding day hair! From the moment we started planning, she was attentive, creative, and  understood the look I was going for. On the big day, she exceeded all my expectations—my hair turned out absolutely perfect and stayed flawless the entire day and night. I felt so beautiful and it’s all thanks to her talent and attention to detail. She brought such a calm  to the getting-ready process, which made the morning even more special. I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation!

  • -Meghan

    Having Maire as my hairdresser the morning of my wedding was one of the best decisions I made!

    She had her hands full with such a big group of sisters with very different ideas, and A LOT of hair, but nothing phased her! Not only did she create beautiful looks for everyone, but she remained so calm throughout the process which really helped keep the atmosphere relaxed and fun. Everyone was so happy with their hair leaving the house, She really made us all look and feel fantastic for the day.

    Even though we went around slea head in an open top car in April and I had a veil that preferred to fly away, my hair was still perfect when we reached our reception! Máire works magic,

    I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

  • -Gillian

    Having admired Máire’s hard work and natural talent for many years, I was absolutely delighted to be lucky enough to book her for my wedding.

    From the moment she arrived, Máire made me feel relaxed and confident in my look for the day. She truly listened to my vision and then created a hairstyle that went above and beyond anything I had imagined.

    Her patience, creativity, skill, and professionalism are second to none. I only wish I had more excuses to experience her styling magic more often!

  • -Michelle

    Máire was my hairstylist for my wedding. I can’t put into words how talented and professional she is. She was punctual, professional, calm and pleasant. My bridesmaids and I were immediately put at ease as we knew we were in the most capable of hands. Máire is perfectionist and ensured our hairstyles were exactly as we liked and remained in place all day. She stayed with us until we left for the church to ensure that everything was perfect as we were leaving. The morning went so smoothly and everyone was relaxed due to Máire being so well organised and allowing extra time for all the touch ups. I could not recommend her enough. She is a brilliant stylist, so creative and easy to work with. Thank you Máire.
