  5* make up!

  Can’t thank/recommend Karen enough for doing my hair and make up for my wedding. She was so lovely to work with and had such a calming presence on the day. I added my mums hair on last minute without the time for a trial and she absolutely smashed it, everything was timed perfectly I didn’t felt rushed at all and she even went above and beyond doing up the buttons on my dress when my mum and sister in law admitted defeat! My hair and make up was so lovely everyone commented on it throughout the day and I felt amazing and confident all day! Thank you Karen hope to see you again soon 😊

  Fantastic Wedding makeup artist

  Karen did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding in June 2024. Karen was fantastic and really helped to make my wedding such an amazing day. The hair and makeup she did were beautiful and she was so much fun to chat with - it really made the morning getting ready part of the special day. She was very easy to communicate with and book and she was really flexible travelling to my home for the trial. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to do your wedding hair and makeup.

  Just awesome

  Karen works perfectly under pressure, she can improvise and come up with a perfect hair style on the spot, the make up she did would last for another day or two if I hadn’t washed it off, she matched the products with my skin perfectly, and all this whilst having a really pleasant conversation! 100% recommend

  Amazing from start to finish

  What can I say … Karen was just fabulous! Super friendly and accommodating, totally put me and my bridesmaids at ease. Before we knew it 4 hours had flown by and it was time for me to put my dress on and leave the room to walk down the aisle. Thanks to Karen I was confident that I looked my absolute best & couldn’t stop smiling the entire day. I will 100% be calling on her for any more hair & makeup needs.

  Friendly, Relaxed and Perfect

  Karen was brilliant and did the most amazing hair and makeup. She was clam, relaxed and really friendly. I was soo pleased with my hair and Make up - it lasted all day and night without needing Andy touch ups 😊 Karen created the exact look I wanted and I still felt like me but better! I would highly recommend.

  Absolutely fantastic!

  Karen was beyond amazing! I have no hesitation in recommending her for wedding make up. She did a brilliant job on my wedding day for my hair and make up and my bridesmaids too. She listened to exactly what I asked for and made me feel incredible. Thank you so much!

  Great experience for bride with minimal knowledge.

  I only started looking after my skin beyond washing it a few years ago, and I have a simple make up repertoire. My hair is always either loose or in a ponytail.
  
  Karen did a wonderful job at making me look wonderful, but still like myself, which was key for me. She slotted seamlessly into my day - it felt like having an extra friend there.
  
  I also had a ceilidh at my wedding. High energy was an understatement, and yet my hair remained perfectly in place and my makeup refused to move despite profuse sweating. High recommend.

  Absolutely amazing--made me look a million dollars!

  Karen is absolutely amazing. I don't know what else to say other than that. I found her on hitched.com for my wedding hair and makeup and she got back to me very promptly. I was nervous about getting the right look but Karen knew exactly what I wanted after listening to me chat through my ideas and after showing her some styles on pinterest. She had no issues tapering down my look on my trial and on the day she was a saviour (especially after a very stressful week in the lead up to the wedding). I would recommend Karen to anybody getting married or for a big event--she's amazing!

  Brides hair and makeup

  I contacted Karen to request a hair and makeup trial. Karen responded quickly and clearly explained her services and costs.
  Karen arrived on time and was happy to listen to my needs, as I don’t wear makeup at all and didn’t want to be overdone, but look natural. I have thick curly hair and always worry about how it will be handled. Karen knew how to make the most of my curls.
  On the day of the wedding (17 August 2021)
  Again Karen arrived on time. Karen had remembered what we genuinely chatted about and we chatted like old friends.
  Karen is very friendly, helpful and listens well.
  It was a pleasure to have Karen with me on the morning to do my hair and makeup and the proof of her amazing skills are in the compliments I received when people saw our wedding photos. Beautiful, stunning, amazing were words used to describe how I looked.
  Brilliant job!! 😀

  Amazing hair stylist

  A few weeks ago, Karen did my wedding hair as well as my bridesmaids and two mother of the bride/groom. She was absolutely amazing! Karen completely understood the look I was after and I felt incredible. She was really flexible with the hairstyles when a bridesmaid wanted to change a small aspect of the style. But most importantly, Karen was so lovely and chatty, and put everyone at ease! She was like another member of the bridal party! Thank you so much for doing an amazing job :)
