INTRODUCTION
For any bride, getting your hair right on the big day can bring on a whole host of anxiety. What if it’s not sitting right? What if it plays up that day? What if the curls just won’t hold? It’s tempestuous task that needs the right love and attention from esteemed experts who can use the right products and the right methods to make your weave wonderful. On that front, there’s no one more fitting for the job than Bridal by HBCT.
Run and owned by head stylist Crystal Turnbull (the acronym HBCT stands for Hair By Crystal Turnbull, original, she admits!), Bridal by HBCT is a passionate team of expert bridal hair specialists who provide beautiful on-trend hair solutions for modern brides and their tribes. Either travelling to your home, venue, or hosting you in their Northumberland salon, these ladies are the ultimate wedding weave wonder workers.
For Crystal, anything other than hair was not an option. Her life-long passion for bridal hair led her to get an apprenticeship as soon as she left school, before she decided to go it alone and set up her own business. Fast forward eight years and Hair By Crystal Turnbull is a namesake of the north east’s hair scene, with her own beautiful salon in Northumberland and a wealth of regular clients.

OFFICIAL BRIDAL HAIR SPECIALIST:
This year, Bridal by HBCT was named Bridal Hair Specialist of The Year for 2022 at the Hair and Beauty Awards. One of the biggest achievements of her career so far and something she hopes to build on in 2023.
I WANT TO DELVE FURTHER INTO THE INDUSTRY, WITH MY AMAZING STAFF ALONGSIDE ME, BRINGING A TOUCH OF CLASS TO THE ART OF BRIDAL HAIR. CRYSTAL, OWNER
CRYSTAL CLEAR
A pre-wedding trial is standard at Bridal by HBCT. Held at their bright and beautiful salon in Stakeford, Northumberland, Crystal and her team will welcome you in to have an in-depth chat about your vision and get to know you a little more. They usually last around 1.5-2 hours, with your wedding day location and times also discussed ensuring you leave with full clarity over the plan for the big day.
Please bring inspo images (Instagram/Pinterest) and any accessories you’d like to wear. If not, don’t worry – the team have an array of accessories and a temporary veil on-hand to play and ponder over.
Prior to the hair trial, Crystal advises you wash your hair the night before and blow-dry as normal without any products or styling tools.
