Karen is simply the best!
Karen did the hair and makeup for me, my mum and my sister at my wedding this December. She was truly magnificent from the very first emails we exchanged. I had a trial done with her before the wedding where she guided me to find the perfect style of hair and makeup, and on the day it was just perfect. My mum and sister were also delighted with theirs. I would recommend Karen to everyone!Karen did the hair and makeup for me, my mum and my sister at my wedding this December. She was truly magnificent from the very first emails we exchanged.

Maggie and Cameron’s wedding!
We really liked working with Karen, and our bridesmaids/family getting their hair and makeup done by her did too! Everyone was happy, especially with their makeup. Karen was kind, fun, and a great addition to our bridal room!We really liked working with Karen, and our bridesmaids/family getting their hair and makeup done by her did too!

Happy bride!
Karen did a wonderful job - she was great to work with and provided expert advice as I prepared for my wedding. She creatively incorporated my hairstyle ideas to suit my facial structure and tailored my makeup for my vision and skin type. She and her colleague Collette took such great care of me and my bridal party!Karen did a wonderful job - she was great to work with and provided expert advice as I prepared for my wedding.

Karen Mason hair and makeup- perfect!
Karen did a great job of the hair and makeup for my mum, bridesmaid, best woman and I. Karen had a FaceTime call with us before the day to see us, get a feel for what we wanted and to start planning. The looks Karen gave us was just what we wanted, it looked great and it was all timed to perfection. I would definitely recommend Karen if you want to look fabulous on your day.Karen did a great job of the hair and makeup for my mum, bridesmaid, best woman and I.

Absolute angel, she saved my wedding and made me look incredible
Karen was amazing from start to finish, and I am so glad that I was able to have her for my wedding.
When my original hair and make-up artist cancelled weeks before my wedding, Karen rang me within hours of my email and was so understanding and flexible. She made the entire process comfortable and I am now glad the 1st person cancelled.
My wedding party had a wide variety of skin tones and make-up preferences, and she made all of us look stunning and kept us laughing and relaxed the entire time.
10/10, could not have asked for a better person to make me feel like a beautiful brideKaren was amazing from start to finish, and I am so glad that I was able to have her for my wedding.

The best start to the day
I knew with Karen's experience I could trust her to deliver a look that would show me at my best. I was not able to do an in person trial but we had a few zoom calls and Karen was able to recommend the perfect lipstick for me. The service Karen provided for us (my sister and mother were also having hair and makeup) was beyond all expectations, I so very much appreciated her kindness and consideration and being our cheerleader on the day! She was also very patient with my Mum who was uncertain of what she wanted and somewhat nervous. It was a lovely experience and start to the day, which can feel a little stressful, but having Karen there was a tonic and we had great chats and felt really special with the end results. I wouldn't hesitate to book Karen again for any special event, in fact I'd love a reason to! If you are at all uncertain of who might be right for you but want to entrust someone to bring out the very best I'd book Karen.I knew with Karen's experience I could trust her to deliver a look that would show me at my best.

excellent!!
I was planning a destination wedding in Scotland and Karen responded quickly and was flexible to zoom and email when needed. I was able to to do the trial before my wedding day and it was so worth it as I had no set idea of what I wanted even after sending her some inspiration. She took those ideas and elevated it to fit my style and needs. Through every step she looks for feedback and I had a wonderful experience as she truly loves what she does. The day of my wedding she helped calm me down with breathing techniques and distracted me with conversation. She also did my mother's hair and makeup end even cut her hair, she looked amazing. She also gave my mom tips on how to keep her hair healthy. I felt so beautiful and elevated on my wedding day I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist!I was planning a destination wedding in Scotland and Karen responded quickly and was flexible to zoom and email when needed.

Talented & efficient
Karen did the hair and makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids for my wedding in September 2024 and I highly recommend her.
Karen is incredibly talented— my bridesmaids and I loved how we looked, and we received so many compliments throughout the day. The hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the day and into the evening.
I do not typically wear much makeup or do much with my hair, so I was initially a bit sceptical, especially as previous professional makeup experiences left me feeling overdone. However, Karen got it exactly right. During the trial, she truly listened to my preferences and understood that I wanted a subtle, natural look.
On the day of the wedding, Karen took the time to have meaningful conversations with each of my bridesmaids, which they all appreciated. She was efficient and attentive to our individual requirements - sensing I was nervous, she quietly worked on my hair and makeup, creating a calming presence.

Outstanding Experience
I needed a makeover!!! I was using the same make up techniques and products that I used in my twenties and at 58 I definitely needed an update. I decided to seek help as this summer I was due to perform my duties as mother of the bride at my daughter’s wedding in Tuscany. Karen was my saviour! She took me by the hand and gave me a step by step make up tutorial, showing me techniques and advising on products. She took the time to listen and put together a glowy, natural look for me, keeping it simple so I could recreate the same at home (and the wedding). I left Karen’s studio feeling confident about the products and how to apply them. An invaluable service from a very gifted, warm hearted, professional. Highly recommended.I needed a makeover!!!
