100% recommend

Rachel was amazing on our day. She did both my hair and makeup and listened to what I wanted and did exactly what I asked. I was so happy and felt so confident and got lots of compliments. Her assistant was also great and did my bridesmaids hair and makeup. We did a hair and makeup trial too which was really nice. She’s a lovely person and very talented! I would defo recommend.

Amazing make-up from Rachel!

Rachel was my wedding day make-up artist, also doing make-up for my mum and sister. My childhood hairdresser was doing our hair and despite not meeting her until the day itself, Rachel was so professional and the two worked seamlessly and flexibly together to make sure everything ran smoothly. I hardly wear any make-up normally so was a little apprehensive about someone else doing my make-up, but Rachel understood what I was looking for and gave me the most amazing natural look that stayed put all day - even after I shed a few tears! Couldn't recommend Rachel enough for your wedding day make-up!

Exceptional!

Rachel did my wedding hair and make up (as well as my bridesmaids hair), and it was exceptional! I am super fussy, natural curls and don’t like a lot of make up, and she did an amazing job. Looked flawless, so natural, and she was happy to work with everything I wanted! My bridesmaids also looked amazing! She was super friendly, calm and relaxed throughout both trial and the big morning, and really made the morning what it was. Thank you so much!

Rachel is an amazing hair and makeup artist, and both my mum and I enjoyed very much meeting you. Your calmness and kindness helped us a lot that day. I feel very fortunate that you did our make-up and hair bringing both our visions to life. The advice you gave us and taking the time to make sure that everything would be perfect for my special day. I would definitely recommend you for your services. Thanks to you, I've never felt or looked more beautiful in my life. I am so grateful you were able to be part of this special day.

Rachel is the very best!

I just wanted to send over a massive thank you on behalf of me and the girls for being such a big part of our day at Chicheley Hall in October. You made the whole hair and make-up process a stress-free dream! You listened to all the different needs/wants of the girls and made necessary tweaks on the day. I was over the moon with the look you created for me and felt so fantastic all day - I didn't want to take my makeup off when the day ended as it still looked so fantastic, and my hair lasted for days after!

You bring such a positive, calming vibe with you and it was such a joy to spend the morning with you getting ready. I can't thank you enough!

Perfect hair and make up

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel for my wedding and I couldn't be happier. After a fantastic trial a couple of months before, I knew I was in great hands. With seven bridesmaids, Rachel suggested having two assistants to make things easier and it was the perfect decision. Rachel and her assistants were professional, attentive, and incredibly talented.


Rachel helped create a bridal look that made me feel elegant and natural. The makeup and hairstyle lasted throughout the event. My bridesmaids and mum were equally thrilled with their hair and makeup.


Rachel's warm presence, along with her assistants, made the process enjoyable and stress free. She was easy to contact and very responsive, ensuring every detail was perfect.

Wedding hair and makeup for bride, mother of the bride and 4 bridesmaids

Rachel was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I really enjoyed my trial, she was professional, friendly and made me feel at ease. On the wedding day itself, timings ran smoothly and everyone involved felt the most beautiful version of themselves - we were really happy with the photographs. As people who don’t wear much make up at all (myself and my mum/ bridesmaids) I would recommend Rachel highly as she understood the brief completely and ensured that we looked flawless and glamorous but without it feeling too much or not like ourselves. I found Rachel fairly randomly but it was one of the best decisions I made and I would highly recommend her.

Couldn't be happier with my experience with Rachel

I can't recommend Rachel enough. Before the trial and wedding, she was really quick to respond and easy to communicate with. My hair and make up looked wonderful at the trial and on our wedding day, and she did a great job with my mum and bridesmaids too. Some people in my party weren't that used to wearing makeup, and she tailored their looks to their needs and make them feel really good. In addition, she is a lovely, warm person to be around and is a great addition to your wedding day!

Loved my hair and make up!

Rachael did my hair and make up (and bridesmaids) in October 2022, and it looked incredible! She was so calming to have on the day, and everything went so smoothly.
I accidentally fell asleep in my make up and it still looked amazing the next morning, would definitely recommend - thank you so much! ☺️
