    Best bridal makeup in Oxfordshire!

    I cannot recommend Charley enough. 10/10. I found her on Instagram and loved what I saw, and when we met and talked through what I was looking for she 100% understood and delivered on that. She was very collaborative, listened to all my fears and together we created the perfect, stress free look that lasted all day and night. My bridal party loved her too. Everyone looked incredible.

    Her products are very high end, Charlotte Tilbury, Nars etc. So you've got beautiful products going on your face. Her energy is very calming and kind. There was no judgement. Just kind, helpful, professional make up artist who wants you to have the best day ever.

    A lovely lady who made me feel so good for my big day!

    Charley was wonderful! So accommodating, calm and warm. She worked around my early timings, juggled the morning expertly and remained steady throughout the whole process. I couldn't have a trial so Charley spent extra time with me talking about what I wanted and making sure that we were on the same page. She was so kind to the whole bridal party and even helped me with my dress as my mum and bridesmaids had to leave early! Amazing value for an amazing service. Thank you Charley

    Charley was just effortlessly lovely from start to finish. I absolutely loved my bridal look and felt my best all day! My mum had her make-up done too and loved the look she built on the wedding morning. Charley is so warm and friendly, I knew I’d made the right choice from the moment I met her at my trial xx

    Wonderful service and experience

    Charley is a kind, talented and professional stylist who made me look and feel beautiful on my day. I came away from my trial a bit nervous as I completely changed my mind!! But on the day, she nailed it and my bridesmaid were thrilled with their hair and make-up also. My hair and make-up stayed put, despite tears and tissue dabbing, and looked absolutely polished right up until the very end of the night. She and her team were very adaptable to the getting ready space and the whole morning felt calm and under control. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

    I would highly recommend Charley. The experience from booking to the wedding morning was wonderful. Charley is very professional and made me feel at ease when I went for my trial as I was nervous. Charley created the exact vision I had for my hair, my bridesmaids loved theirs too. Charley really helped to make me feel special on my wedding day.

    Amazing looks and fantastic experience!

    Charley did my wedding hair and makeup (on 2 days!) and it was just perfect. My first look was a traditional Asian bride look, with heavier makeup than I’d usually wear because of the dress style, but she got it spot on. The second look was more natural, and again she did an amazing job. She’s super chill and lovely - just what you need on your wedding morning! :) I definitely recommmend Charley to all!

    Great All Round Experience

    We were fortunate to work with Charley for our hair and make up at my daughter's wedding blessing. We live in Canada so it was a case of Zoom calls and emails to brief Charley and she was patient and helpful. Charley understood what we were hoping to achieve and executed it to the letter. Jenny's natural "day look" was beautiful, and her hair, including extensions was on point. Day of Charley worked her magic and even managed to create an up do for me! Our make up was perfect and lasted through the day - and the evening party. Thank you so much for helping to make the day perfect; we would 100% recommend you!

    very talented and super accomodating

    Charley did my hair & make up for my wedding in Nov 2023, along with my 3 bridemaids hair & 1 m.o.b, Charley was super friendly and made me feel at such ease when having my trials. She knew what i wanted with just a conversation and made it come to reality, highly recommend having Charley for your hair or make up, i know ill be back for other events 😊

    Fantastic hair and make up experience

    I was so lucky to find Charley after a fairly last minute change of plans for my hair and make up! Charley was very easy to communicate with and super flexible, I booked in for my trial and that gave me loads of confidence for the experience on the day. Charley and her excellent team did hair and make up for me, my mum and my 7 bridesmaids so it was all go on the morning of the wedding! I absolutely loved how everything turned out on the day, and Charley was so lovely to work with, I’d highly recommend!!
