All Test Valley Textiles Customers Past and Present

Some of you may be aware that I have recently had a health scare with suspected Mouth cancer. I am still waiting the results of a few more tests but in the words of the consultant “I am not worried as the results we have in show no signs of cancer”

During this stressful time, I have carried on working, albeit at a greatly reduced capacity with making deadlines more and more stressful.

To that end I have decided I need to slow down, concentrate on things dear to my heart and for once put myself and my health as the number one priority in my life. With a heavy heart I have contacted my 2026 brides and informed them that I cannot, now do the alterations for their big days.

Test Valley Textiles will cease work on the 21st February 2026, and close on 31st March 2026. This will allow me to finish any work I have already currently started and allow Admin (Lord Melvin) time to sort out the admin to close the business properly. I do have some customers that are awaiting a start date for their work in the New Year, but I am so sorry, I am now not going to be able to start any new work from this point.

Finally, I would like to thank all my customers past and present for their support, loyalty and for all the recommendations they gave over social media platforms over the last 11 years.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. It’s now time to put me first and enjoy any time I have left differently.

Lady Patricia booked this lady for her hair at our 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal along with her partner in crime Rachel Maslin Makeup Artist.
We have just seen the pictures from that morning and can only sayin 99% everybody is laughing.

The hair and make up were stunning.
As a wedding supplier we wholeheartedly endorse this lady and her partner in crime.
We now recommend them to all our brides to be.

Hello.. i thought it was probably time for a me post (it's been a while)

I'm Laura, a bridal & event hair stylist based in Hampshire.
I have been working in the industry for the last 17 years 😱 (minus the birth of my 4 children and covid 😷)
When booking your stylist, you're not just booking your hair. you're selecting one of the people who will be with you on the biggest day of your life. Those precious moments are so important, so by all means, check out hairstyles, but choose someone who you can connect with, who'll keep you calm, keep you laughing and who'll ensure you arrive at your wedding having had a wonderful, exciting and enjoyable morning.

Find out a bit more about me below ⬇️ (ignore the fact It sounds like a profile on a dating app 🤣 I'm happily married!)

My favourite colour is green, followed closely by blue and pink.. I love lemon drizzle cakes, coffee and my mums leek and bacon bake.

I'm probably louder than I should be most of the time, I like to laugh ALOT!!

I'm a cub leader on Wednesdays, i enjoy being outside, the woods are my favourite place, and my beloved basset hound mabel plods happily at my side.

4 children (2 boys & 2 girls) all keep me busy, they are my absolute world 🌎

Glitter (eco please 🙏), music, and sunshine make me happy, as do those random trees you get in the middle of fields and I like my car stereo to always be on an even number 🤣🤣

I honestly believe you can't beat a good dance with your best friends to cheer you up, and a gin and tonic too! 🍸🍋💃

Strange by true!

Cash

We are an independent local business.
When customers pay by card the bank takes a percentage of the transaction as a fee.These fees add up and only make banks richer.

We are asking our customers to pay by cash or bank transfer ( we don’t get charged for this) so that we keep 100 % of your payment.
It all helps in these times.

Let’s stop making banks richer and support local independent businesses
