Amazing wedding hair and makeup
Gemma did hair and makeup for me, my 9 bridesmaids, and 3 flower girls for my December 2024 wedding. She was lovely and friendly, so professional, and did an amazing job. We all felt and looked fabulous. She was so flexible and responsive. I had a great trial with her, and excellent communication leading up to the day. Would highly recommend!

The perfect start to the day
Gemma made me feel amazing from trial to aisle. She listened to what I liked, paid attention to my skin and hair needs, offered her expertise to support my decision making and was so easy to get along with. She made me and my mum feel a million dollars, helping calm our nerves for the day and ensured we were picture perfect. I’m looking for an excuse to get my hair and make up done again by Gemma. because I’ve never felt so fabulous! 1000000% recommend.

Wedding day make up
Gemma did my make up and hair, my 4 bridesmaids and flower girls hair for my wedding day. She was on time and did a fantastic job of all make up and hair. Gemma is very friendly and was quickly able to tell what would suit each person in terms of colour and hairstyle. You were incredible Gemma thank you, my bridesmaids were also so pleased with their hair and make up. I would 1000% recommend Gemma to any bride and bridal party.

Highly recommended 🖤
Gemma did my hair and makeup for my wedding on November 3rd. She took the time to talk to me about what I wanted and how we could make it all work. I have very fine, jaw length hair that it always a bright colour, she colour matched extensions for me perfectly. I gave her a brief of dark and witchy, which she absolutely smashed! She was incredibly flexible and was even willing to change plans, travel and get me ready in a tiny room with 1 socket when our plans had to change last minute. Highly recommended 🖤

Gemma is the best
I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and make-up on my wedding day - I felt beautiful. Gemma is so warm and professional, and she completely understood what I wanted from the beginning when I talked it through with her and showed her some inspiration photos.
On the wedding day itself, Gemma helped me stay calm as we all got ready, and the make-up and hair lasted all day. I would recommend her to anyone, she’s so lovely.

Wedding up-do with Gemma
I visited Gemma at her salon near Birmingham beforehand for a hair trial - it was obvious from the beginning that she was very experienced in her trade! She listened to what I wanted and quickly honed down on the style I was after for my wedding day.
She was bang on time on the day and worked quickly and efficiently to reproduce my hairstyle. She also placed my chosen hairpiece and my veil. Not only did it look lovely but it stayed in all day despite some very vigorous dancing!!
Would definitely recommend Gemma.

Amazing Hair and Make Up Artist
Gemma is simply fantastic.
I was so worried about my make up, as I have rosacea and had a flare up the day before the wedding.
My make, 4 bridesmaid's make up, my mum's make up too, and all our hair was perfect. It lasted all day and into the night.
Gemma work with speed but nothing is missed.
If you are getting married and need someone who can make your day perfect and out your mind at ease, then please hire Gemma!

Wonderfully done
I had no real idea exactly what I wanted as I rarely wear make up and wanted to keep things simple but for it to look great in the photos. Gemma came up with a great look which lasted all day and didn't require any touch ups (aside from the lips). I was very happy with both the hair and make up and would recommend her services to anyone.

Incredible Experience!
Gemma is such an amazing woman. I got married on Friday in Stratford upon Avon. Gemma arrived on time and fully prepared for all our different tastes in hair and make up.
She completely put me at ease during the whole morning and made everyone so comfortable.
The bridal party and myself got everything we could ask for and more. Everyone looked incredible and the hair/make up lasted all day.
I very highly recommend Gemma and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future!
Thank you so much, you made my wedding day one to remember! Xxx

Amazing hair and makeup artist!
Gemma did my hair and make-up for my wedding at the end of July and I cannot recommend her enough. As someone who doesn't wear much make-up on a day to day basis, I wanted a very natural look for my wedding day. Gemma soon eased my nerves at my trial and created the look I was hoping for. She took the time to try out styles for my hair and we both agreed that having my hair all up suited me best.
On my wedding day itself, Gemma arrived ahead of the bridal party at our venue to set up and was ready and waiting when we arrived. Her relaxed but professional approach, kept nerves at bay as she got to work on not only my hair and makeup but three bridesmaids as well. I was over the moon with the finished look and felt amazing all day. I cannot thank Gemma enough and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal hair and makeup artist.

Friendly & Professional
Gemma put me at ease immediately. She listened to what my bridesmaids and myself wanted and didn’t disappoint.
I would highly recommend she’s a master at her art. Thank you for making me look perfect on my day.

First class hair and make up :)
Gemma set up a trial prior to the wedding - following this, Gemma listened to all my thoughts ahead of the wedd day.
On the day Gemma arrived early - she set up and was ready to go! She did hair and make for my 2 maid of honours plus myself, all of us were happy with hair and makeup.
I can't Thank Gemma enough as I looked natural, just as I wanted.
Would definitely recommend.
