About Ella
The person behind the hair.
Hair Up Specialist, based across Bolton & Manchester.
My Story
How I got here.
[ADD ELLA'S DETAILS — how she got into hairdressing, her training and background]. What I do know is that hair up has always been the part I love most — the structure, the problem-solving, working out how a style is actually going to hold.
Rich in life because this is literally my job — I still mean that on the days I've got three updos back to back.
My Approach
Your hair, not a copy-paste style.
I never just copy an inspiration photo and hope for the best. Every head of hair is different — different thickness, growth pattern, texture — so every style gets adapted to actually work for you.
That means asking questions, having an honest chat about what will and won't hold, and building the style in a way that suits your hair rather than fighting against it.
What I Love Creating
The details most people never notice.
Shape
Getting the overall silhouette right before anything else.
Texture
Curls, twists and braids that look intentional, not stiff.
Movement
Hair that still looks alive once you're up and dancing.
The Experience
Why clients come back.
It's rarely just about the hair. It's the chat, the cup of tea, the feeling of being looked after on a day that matters. I want you to leave feeling calmer than when you arrived — and looking exactly how you pictured.
