  Kat is a superstar who will make you feel beautiful on your big day!

  What can I say about Kat? She was incredible!
  From the moment I first contacted her to the time I stepped out of the door on my wedding day, I felt she really cared and like she had taken the time to get to know me and what I'd like for my wedding.
  She was so thorough in our trial session and I came away with some fantastic skin and hair tips (which I'm going to carry on using by the way) and the confidence that she was going to do an amazing job.
  On the day itself, she was so calm, friendly and warm and made me and my (very nervous!) mum feel totally at ease.
  The make up and hair looks she completed were absolutely beautiful. I got so many compliments on both and both lasted the entire day, despite a heatwave and 5+ hours of dancing!
  I can't thank her enough for making me feel so confident and knowing I didn't ever have to worry about things. She is a true star and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a hair or makeup artist!

  The best H&MU!

  Kat was recommended to me by a former colleague and I am so glad she was. From my first initial meeting, I knew Kat was the perfect hair and make up artist for me. At my trail Kat gave me loads of skin and hair care recommendations and tips to help my skin and hair look their best on my wedding day (and it really did!). Kat’s communication was great throughout and she was such a calming presence on my wedding morning. Kat did my hair and make up along with my bridesmaids and mum and they all looked amazing! My hair and make up lasted all day and I didn’t have to do any touch ups (even after all the dancing throughout the day!) I really recommend Kat for your hair and make up for your wedding day.

  Amazing hair and makeup artist and lovely person!

  Kat did mine and my mum’s hair and makeup on my wedding day, and I cannot recommend her enough. As someone who doesn’t wear heavy makeup, Kat’s natural glowy style was exactly what I was looking for! The trial was so helpful, trying a couple of hairstyles helped me decide what I wanted and Kat gave me lots of useful skincare advice, plus she really put me at ease.
  
  On the wedding morning, Kat was such a calming presence and did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, taking into account the slight changes I wanted from the trial. I really felt like my best polished self! It lasted the whole day and looks great in the photographs. I was especially impressed with how well the face framing curls lasted. My mum was also really happy with her look. Thank you Kat!

  I cannot recommend Kat highly enough. She was the exactly the hair and makeup artist I was looking for - London-based, natural style, and just a lovely person to be around on my wedding morning. She is amazing at creating a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. If this is what you're looking for, don't hesitate to send her an enquiry!

  The most beautiful I've felt

  Kat did my makeup and hair, along with my bridesmaids for my wedding a couple of weeks ago.
  I'd found her through a search for natural makeup artists and am so glad I did. The trial was extremely thorough and included loads of Skincare tips (which I followed and found made a huge difference). By the time the wedding came around I felt really reassured that the whole process would be perfect and it was. Kat was a really calming presence on the day which was very much needed in the hectic run up to having everyone get ready.
  I cannot tell you how many compliments I got on my skin during the wedding. So many compliments on how I was glowing and looked beautiful....and honestly I really felt it (which isn't something I can often say about myself)!

  Incredible hair, make-up and atmosphere!

  It was such a joy having you and Sophie there whilst we were getting ready - I so appreciated your calming presence throughout the morning. My hair and make-up were absolutely gorgeous as was everyone else's (and a particular thank you to Sophie from my mum for the incredibly relaxed time she had whilst getting her hair + make-up done!) We have spent the whole week looking at photos and I had so many compliments about my hair and make-up on the day. My make-up lasted the whole day (despite the wind + rain!) and the little touch-up kit was such a lovely touch.

  Amazing experience!

  Kat is an absolutely fantastic hair and makeup artist! I got married last week and Kat did my hair and makeup and I felt so beautiful on the day! It was all done so well and I looked natural so didn’t feel like it looked too much or felt too heavy. My makeup stayed on all day and I didn’t have to use the touch up kit that Kat provided (she really thinks of everything)! I had a trial before the wedding and Kat provided really useful information to prepare me for the day including skin care and hair care recommendations. Kat was also very professional but was great to talk to and made the time pass very quickly! I felt a bit anxious beforehand about having my hair and makeup done but Kat was so easy to talk to that I felt at ease. She was also really understanding and great with my 6 month old when we were doing the bridesmaids trial and the beginning of getting ready for the wedding and was happy for me to have breaks in between getting ready to be able to settle the baby. I feel like I could write lots about Kat as she really is just wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their wedding hair and makeup!
  
  Kat was also supported by another hair and makeup artist, Sophie as there were so many of us! Sophie was also fantastic at doing some of my bridesmaids and my step mums hair and makeup and was really easy to get on with. Everyone looked great on the day and we all had such a wonderful time!

  Amazing natural hair and makeup!

  I’ve found Kat through a bit of research on Instagram and Hitched. I immediately noticed her natural and glowy style for makeup and it was exactly what I was after for my wedding day. I was really concerned not “looking like myself” for the day and I also don’t wear much makeup day to day. During my trial, Kat took so much time to talk through my skincare and hair routine (I have natural curly/wavy hair and wanted this look for the wedding day) and she gave me the best tips for looking after my skin in the lead up to the wedding. She followed up with an email about everything we’ve discussed during the trial and all skincare tips. I’ve followed them all and ended up with really lovely and glowy skin for the big day (needless to say, I’ll continue with the new routine :)) we went for a natural, glowy makeup and I had my hair down curly with a few enhanced curls. I’ve felt so beautiful the whole day and makeup and hair lasted the through it all, I didn’t have time to use my touch up kit which Kat prepared but also didn’t really need it to be honest as everything held so well. Kat was also an absolute pleasure to have with me during the morning and getting ready. She is so calm, professional and takes a lot of pride in her work. She also did hair for my 3 bridesmaids who looked gorgeous as well. Kat really exceeded all my expectations, from the skincare tips, to providing the schedule for the day and instructions on how to prepare, to communicating with my bridesmaids via a whatts App group so I didn’t have to stress about it, it was perfect! I couldn’t have asked for a better Hair and Makeup Artist for my wedding day, thank you again Kat for everything!
