My skin looks healthy and dewy and it lasts whole day

I booked Ruby for my wedding, I was a bit worried in the beginning as I wouldn’t like very transformative makeup instead I would Iike my skin looks good and healthy. Ruby is really responsive and set me at ease. On the day we went through the adjustments I’d like to make from the trial and Ruby did the really good job I’m really happy with hair and makeup- Top of that the hair and makeup lasted the whole day! Thanks Ruby I’ll recommend her!

A true artist

We (being my bridesmaids and I) became big fans of Ruby. She was exceptionally sweet throughout the morning (we started very early) and never lost her spark.

We had sent through our inspiration pictures beforehand and she was fully prepared for the tasks at hand, giving gentle feedback as necessary (for example, my hairstyle was shown on a mannequin, with very different hair texture). I was so happy with my final hairstyle, I felt truly glamourous.

Our makeup stayed on pretty much perfectly throughout the whole day, even with tears of joy, we just needed the odd lipstick touchup. Haven't received my professional photos yet, but other candid photographs showed the makeup and hair looking fantastic.

I would highly recommend Ruby and felt so lucky to have her on the day. She truly has the gift to make us glow and shine like a diamond.

Totally Amazing!

The makeup and hair trial went really well - I'm not used to having my hair or makeup done, but Ruby made me feel really comfortable and genuinely listened to what I wanted. I was worried about finding someone who could do my makeup but don’t feel too heavy, but Ruby knew exactly how to treat it.
It was lovely having her and her assistant Brodie there on the morning, they were both so easy to chat to and laugh with; it felt like they were part of the bridal party. Thank you so much again for everything! Cassandra, May 2023 x

Best in the town!

I had the pleasure of working with Ruby for my wedding! She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences for my hair and makeup on the trial day and gave me suggestions on styling.

On the day of the wedding, Ruby arrived on time and was professional and organized throughout the process. She made me feel comfortable and confident! When she finished my hair and makeup, I was absolutely thrilled with the results. I received so many compliments from guests throughout the day, and I felt beautiful!!

She is kind, friendly, and fun to be around! I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for hair and makeup artist. She truly helped make my wedding day special, and I am so grateful to have had her. Thank you, Ruby!

Delighted by my wedding hair/makeup

I loved the hair and makeup Ruby did for my wedding day, which looked natural (as I requested) and lasted all day. After the trial, I changed my mind about some of my hair/makeup requests, and Ruby took this on board and made tweaks so it was exactly as I wanted on the big day. I recommend her highly as a professional and skilful hair and makeup artist!

A safe pair of hands :)

Ruby was so great! I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup so it was really worth doing a makeup trial with her to work out which bridal look I felt the most comfortable with on the day.

I also have acne skin and was a bit worried about that but the coverage was incredible. It lasted the whole day and felt quite lightweight as well.

She was great at communicating when booking her and sorting out my bridesmaids’ makeup. I’d recommend her for sure!

Made me feel and looked lovely on my big day!

I originally booked Ruby last year when our wedding was booked in Croydon. However, due to a family emergency, it was postponed. Ruby was very accommodating and understanding of all the changes. We changed venue to Milton Keynes and Ruby was very kind to still do my hair and make up despite the distance (I was happy to pay extra for her travel fees). She arrived on time and started hair and make up early leaving us with plenty of time for photo ops. My hair and make up turned out really well that I received so much compliments from our friends and families. I highly recommend Ruby!

Disastrous and a waste of money. Could not recommend, very unprofessional.

Very disappointing! After paying for a trial Ruby let me down at the last minute. First asking me to change my time slot to three hours earlier, to accommodate her next client. Then, two days later telling me that she was unwell. I was told that this was not true, she was not sick. The trial was a complete waste of money.

Efficient, thoughtful and fun!

I came to Ruby with a slightly unusual request - I was officiating a friend's wedding, and so was hoping for a look that would feel fabulous, but not too showy! Ruby was very thoughtful and efficient in coming up with a plan for that, and I'm really grateful to her for the easy, fun process.

Great hair and makeup artist with a lovely relaxed vibe

I'd highly recommend Ruby! We hired her to do hair and makeup for both myself and my maid of honour for our November wedding, and from the start she was highly responsive and helpful. I had a few ideas I wanted to try out at the trial appointment and she was great at chatting through options and helping me make decisions. On the day itself she turned up right on time and was such a calming presence throughout the morning. Most importantly, our hair and makeup turned out exactly how we asked and stayed in place the whole day (despite the rain!). Thanks Ruby!

Great hair and make-up experience

Ruby was very understanding and flexible from the time I contacted her. The results of her work were very appreciated both by me and my sister in law, as well as the guests.

Ruby is an angel!

Ruby did my makeup and hair for my wedding and created a flawless look that lasted all day and night and well into the next day. Not only did it look perfect the entire time, but it also didn't budge or deteriorate at all. In addition to her makeup skills, Ruby is also very polite. We did a trial - she always arrived on time and made me feel relaxed and confident. In conclusion, I highly recommend Ruby as a makeup artist to all future brides who are looking for impeccable makeup and a wonderful person to work with on their big day. You'll definitely be very happy with her!
