    Best Experience

    Melissa has been the most amazing makeup artist and hairstylist, from when I first enquired, up to our wedding day. She is knowledgeable and experienced in her field, and I felt immediately reassured when she answered my questions and made plans regarding my concerns. The trial was really helpful and it gave me a good insight as to how it would be like on the wedding day. Melissa made me feel comfortable both during the trial and on our wedding day. On the day, Melissa and her colleague, Lauren, arrived early and brought quite a relaxed atmosphere with them.

    Speaking with Melissa while she was doing my hair and makeup helped with my nerves, and she also lent an extra hand as I was getting ready to come out for the first look. I cannot thank Melissa enough for her job well done. I highly recommend her as she helped me feel confident and beautiful on our wedding day. She’s brilliant!

    The most perfect hair and make-up artist!

    Wow, where do I start!? I can not recommend Melissa enough - she really was the most perfect hair and make up artist any bride could wish for! She helped make me, my four bridesmaids, the Mother of the Bride, and Mother of the Groom, all feel our very best. Melissa, and her incredible colleague Lauren, were able to perfectly re-create all of my bridal parties desired looks, taking so much care to help them feel both natural and special. All of the bridal party looked flawless for the whole wedding (even at 1am after lots of dancing!) and we had so many compliments from our guests about our hair and make up. Not only is Melissa an incredibly talented professional - she is also such a lovely and kind person, and she makes you feel completely relaxed and at ease throughout (it really was like having another friend join us for the wedding morning!). She went above and beyond from the very moment I first reached out, including: staying longer to touch up my make up after some first look tears; squeezing an extra make-up slot into the morning timetable with no stress at all; and showing my bridesmaids how to remove my veil while keeping my hair beautifully in tact! I have honestly never felt as beautiful as she made me feel on my wedding day (and don't think I ever will), Thank you Melissa for making it so special - I will forever be grateful for you!

    Amazing from start to finish!

    Melissa was absolutely brilliant doing mine and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup on my wedding day in June. She is so talented, efficient, professional and friendly, and she really listened to what me and my bridesmaids wanted pre wedding and the day itself, and was more than happy to make any tweaks or adjustments.

    She also went the extra mile in helping with my veil, getting me into my dress and stayed to ensure any touch ups could be done before the ceremony. She even helped touching up my fiancé's black eye!!

    Thank you so much Melissa for making me feel the best I’ve ever felt, on the biggest day of my life 🥰 I’d recommend to anyone!

    Melissa is wonderful!

    Melissa made planning my wedding from abroad extremely easy. She had a flexible schedule and it was easy to do my trial with her and she was very open to feedback and made great suggestions. My hair and makeup came out stunningly on the day as well as my bridesmaids and my mom! Melissa was so easy to work with, quick, and made everyone look their best! I highly recommend using her!

    I would recommend Melissa to anyone planning their wedding

    I felt very lucky to have Melissa as my HMUA for my wedding. She did an amazing job and created exactly the look I wanted, whilst being a calming and fun presence to have around on the morning.
    Melissa was very responsive and flexible throughout the planning stage, and she also did the hair and make up for my mum and bridesmaids, who all loved their looks.
    I would highly recommend having Melissa at your wedding!

    Stunning make up and hair!

    I hired Melissa and her assistants to do the hair and make up of 7 of us on the morning of my wedding. From booking communication through to my trial and on the day, Melissa was nothing but professional and friendly.

    Myself, bridesmaids and mother of bride & groom were delighted with the make up and hair they did. It held up all day and we got so many compliments. We also ran ahead of schedule in the morning so avoided the dreaded last minute panic to get ready - thank you Melissa!

    I would 100% recommend Melissa and her team.

    Wonderful experience

    I’m not a make up person but knew I needed to have something for the wedding. Melissa put me at ease and did a brilliant job at the trial so I was actually looking forward to the real thing! She was very prompt with communication and the whole morning went very smoothly, we even finished right on time as planned.

    the perfect choice for your hair and makeup

    Melissa was everything I could have wished for as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. When we met at the trial I knew instantly we’d get on and she made me feel totally at ease and I had total confidence in sharing what look I was going for as well as giving her own advice and making it all a reality. This translated to the morning of my wedding when (despite terrible planning on my part, sorry!) there were issues with parking- she was totally unflappable and just so lovely and fun, along with the bridesmaids we had a great time. Melissa made me feel really special and her pleasure at seeing me in the dress and everything all together was so genuine- she was lovely. My bridesmaids were also so happy with her expert skills, which shone through, for the rest of the day, everyone was so complimentary of what she created- which withstood many tears, and endless dancing. She was amazing- everything you would ever want. Thank you xx

    Amazing stylist!

    I was blown away by the incredible job Melissa did on my bridal hair and make up as well as my bridesmaids' hair. She was so thoughtful and kind throughout. She both understood and executed the brief based on our wedding theme really well. Melissa made us all look absolutely beautiful and it was such a delight to work with her. Would recommend.

    Absolutely fabulous!

    Melissa was absolutely brilliant on both the lead up to, and the wedding day itself. She completely understood and created the looks that myself, my mum and my sister were hoping to achieve. Thank you Melissa!
