Truly amazing, please hire Sophie for your wedding!

I am beyond grateful to Sophie, my incredible makeup artist, for making my wedding day truly unforgettable. She worked her magic on my hair and makeup, as well as on my sister and my mum, and we all looked absolutely stunning!

Sophie’s makeup artistry was impeccable; our looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire day, allowing us to celebrate without a worry. Beyond her talent, she was kind, approachable, and a genuine pleasure to spend my wedding morning with. Her calming presence set the perfect tone for the day ahead.

I couldn’t recommend Sophie more highly—she truly made our special day even more beautiful. Thank you, Sophie, for your amazing work!

Wedding hair - Bride + 3 guests hair

Sophie was fantastic! She did an amazing job working on my hair along with my bridesmaid, Mum and one of my guests, who was squeezed in last minute. Hair is totally NOT my thing, so honestly, I had no clue what I was after, other than an updo with a few loose face-framing pieces. I gave Sophie free reign on the day (as I also have dreadlocks that needed to be worked with). I loved my hair, and it far exceeded expectations. All 3 guests were also very happy with their hair too! We each had our lashes too which were great, again not something I am usually into wearing, but finished my look beautifully!

Professional and amazing at her job!!

I found Sophie to be a lovely down to earth professional hair and make up artist. She made me feel so relaxed and confident on our consultation. She turned up spot on time on my big day and completely made me feel at ease. She was genuinely interested in my life and was brilliant with my little girl who was shy to get her hair done. All the way though the stages, she checked to see if I was happy and asked me to check in the natural light too. Honestly hands down the best hair and make up artist I've ever used!

Her prices are reasonable and well worth every single penny.

Thank you so much!

Makeup lasted all day and night

We got married on the hottest day of the year and my makeup stayed on all day. I also cried before the ceremony and nothing budged.

I didn't need to reapply despite dancing in a room all night where there was no air con.

Professional long lasting products that will stay put all day and night!

Gorgeous hair and make up

Sophie recently did my hair and make up for my wedding as well as that of my maid of honour. Sophie was so lovely to work with throughout, from the trial to the big day itself she was always so helpful with any questions I had and any tweaks that I wanted to make.

On the day, Sophie helped me feel so at ease, she was such a calm presence on a busy morning that I really needed. To top it all off, neither my hair or make up budged all day and night, meaning I looked just as flawless at the end of the night as I had in the morning.

Absolutely amazing wedding hair stylist 😍

I reached out to Sophie for my wedding after searching through her Facebook page and seeing her previous work. Sophie was very responsive and offered me a quote for myself and 6 others. I immediately booked Sophie and paid a small deposit. Closer to the wedding I booked a hair trial however on the day I had forgotten I had an appointment with our venue so had to cancel last minute. Sophie was understanding and allowed me to re-book my trial for a day I was available. During my trial Sophie took her time and ensured she understood how I wanted my hair. A few days before the wedding I asked Sophie if she could do an extras person's hair and despite this being short notice, Sophie agreed and planned to come in enough time so everybody's hair was done before we needed to get married. I also sent her images of how the bridesmaid wantsd their hair.

On the day, Sophie arrived on time, in a great mood and fully prepared to get started. She took her time and was patient with us especially my young children who kept walking past and knocking the curler wires. Sophie ensured all my Bridesmaids were happy with their hair before she went onto the next person.

I couldn't be happier with how all our hairs turned out, Sophie is amazing at what she does and I would 1000% recommend her and definitely book her again for future events.

Thank you so much Sophie ❤️
