I can bring an additional artist if it’s a larger wedding party so larger groups are never a problem.
I work with a hair stylist so we do the booking together
No, trials are for your benefit and piece of mind only. I don’t require them.
No, I/ we will organise you on arrival, theree is no need for you to do anything but relax and enjoy being looked after.
Experience in the field: There are bridal hair and makeup artist for all different budgets! Trusting your supplier has enough experience to deal with the stresses of the day is so important- but more experienced stylists are in demand and the prices will reflect this.
Do you have a contract in place with your vendor? This ensures you don’t lie awake the night before your wedding wondering if your hair and makeup artist is going to arrive on time!
Professionalism and a friendly face!: Our experience extends beyond the hair and makeup chair as we are with you up until you walk down the aisle! It is important you feel comfortable in your stylists hands and can request adjustments to your look- knowing they won’t take it personally and are the ultimate professional!
Iconic Brands, Luxury Products: We use everything from Charlotte tilbury, NARS, MAC and Moroccan oil for the ultimate, luxury pampering experience.
This is very common, and why a trial is essential! Many of our clients have never had professional hair and makeup and thus We start with a lighter application, consulting you every step of the way!
Yes, absolutely- this is really normal! At the trial, we often make skincare, hair care and makeup recommendations that will help elevate your look on the wedding day. We also request your feedback on your look after the trial, to ensure you look and feel exactly how you want to!
Anywhere from 3-6 months before the wedding day! Some clients like to get in sooner rather than later, and peak summer dates go quicker but there is no real “rule” it is up to you!
Although we hope this will never happen, you will not be committed to the booking, however the Booking fee will be retained. Booking fee’s are non-refundable and covers the administration costs, and holding of your wedding date in the diary.
We schedule each and every wedding so you know exactly what to expect on the wedding day. Timings will vary depending on the styles required, however on average we schedule 2 hours for the Bride and up-to 1.5 hours for guests, for both hair and makeup. We endeavour to get your bridal party ready around 1 hour before you would like to leave in order to get into your dress and take any pictures.
I am a firm believer in creating the look that makes you feel the most comfortable on your wedding day!
It is true that even natural makeup is likely to feel heavier than your 10 minute every-day look! And photographs ( and time!) do tend to wash-out the appearance of makeup!
However, communication (and a trial with your stylist) really helps you to find the right balance for you!
Minor tweaks and feedback after your trial are all part of the process and sometimes you need to wear your look for a few hours to know how the products work for your personally!
