From the moment we first spoke about my wedding hair I knew I was in the best hands. The trial was such a lovely experience, you completely understood the look I was going for and made me feel so at ease.

On the wedding morning, you brought such a calm, positive energy to the day. You absolutely nailed my hair, I truly felt like the best version of myself—and the bridesmaids looked stunning too!

I’ll always be so grateful you were a part of it all. Thank you so much!

Shannon was every brides dream makeup-artist! She did an absolutely incredible job for my make-up with a beautiful simple hairdo (and evening look) for my wedding.

Everyone commented on how gorgeous my makeup was, and as someone who doesn’t usually wear a lot of makeup, Shannon put my mind at ease and listened carefully to what I was looking for.

Shannon also did a gorgeous job on light makeup for my Mum – who was delighted! Thank you so much Shannon for making my wedding morning so special and for making me look and feel gorgeous!

Bev was amazing throughout the whole process of styling my wedding hair. We did a couple of trials to see what products and techniques would work for my hair and my style lasted all day with no issues at all.

She is a perfectionist and very knowledgeable with what she does which is exactly what you want for such a special day.

She was a joy to have with us on the wedding morning and made the whole getting ready experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

Shannon! Was so lovely to meet you yesterday girly.

I just wanted to say, I was really nervous about going to a new make up artist who I’d never been to before and you not only made me feel so welcome and calm, but you done such beautiful, long lasting makeup! I had so many compliments!

What can I say about Bev other than she is amazing!?

I’ve been getting my hair coloured and styled by Bev for years so of course she was the only person I was going to trust on my wedding day! She made me feel like a royal on the day and calmed me down more than she realised.

The trial run went perfectly and I don’t think my hair could have been any more perfect on the day all because of Bev. Thank you!
