A Finishing Touch

Thank you for everything you did for me on our day. I felt beautiful and my hair and make stayed put all day.

You were simply amazing and went above and beyond, drying off bouquets and just keep me relaxed and calm after a crazy set up morning!!

Thank you again and I will be recommending you to everyone for their special day!

Thank you so much Catherine for everything you did for me on our wedding day. You did a pure miracle as I was so poorly on the day (not Covid related of course). Nobody could notice and everybody said I looked amazing, hair and make-up! Literally everybody asked who did it and I have been passing your details to everyone of my friends and work colleagues.
You looked after me, despite my state (closed to pass out), wrapped me in a blanket, opened the door and windows to allow some air to circulate in the room and helped me to calm myself down before a busy day. This time with just you and me together with your calm and professionalism allowed me to put myself together. I really can't thank you enough and it is so nice to see that you genuinely cared. I will contact you again should I have the opportunity to pamper myself again :-)
Thank you also for sending the amazing pictures you took of me!

I booked Catherine for Bridal hair and make-up & make up for 2 Bridesmaids and my mum. I had the best experience from start to finish.

Catherine was recommended to me and she did not disappoint. She’s just amazing. She made sure that we looked amazing on the day and even helped me with my dress. Plus, I don’t even remember touching up my make up.

Thank you so much! I would 100% recommend Catherine.

Catherine was amazing- nothing was too much trouble and she was so friendly and helpful- even doing up my bridesmaid shoes and dresses when needed! Our hair looked amazing and held all day. Thank you so much!

I decided to book A Finishing Touch at the last minute for my small COVID wedding, and I am so glad I did. The service was very high quality and professional and Jassi put me at ease and was very accommodating as I kept changing my mind! Would definitely recommend.

I’m not from West Berkshire area so choosing a Hair and Make Up artist for my wedding in May 2020 was a bit of a gamble, but I definitely found a diamond with Catherine Edwards @ AFT UK .
I don’t wear a lot of make-up, so I was a little apprehensive, but after our first design consultation in February, Catherine made me feel very welcome and at ease and knew exactly how to make up ‘my look’ for my special day.
Due to Covid and two Lockdowns my wedding date was postponed three times, so we had ample time to exchange emails and then a final zoom call to make sure that we knew exactly how I was going to look on the big day. Throughout this time Catherine gave advice on what hair accessories would look the best, even suggestions of where to purchase from and going that extra mile to offer direction on what colour nail polish would complement my dress. She was very professional throughout and had an extensive range of make up for seemingly all types of skin and tones, always explaining what she was doing and why, as well as offering her expertise on daily routines for make-up and skincare.
I loved my wedding day and the services that Catherine offers, and would 100% recommend her.

You have been an absolute joy to work with. You not only are professionally on point with makeup/ hair standards on fleek but you also know how to make your brides feel so relaxed and at ease. You went above and beyond, not only caring about making sure I looked good but even helped my sister do some last minute stickering on to a mirror. I love your character Katherine and I would recommend you to my friends in a heartbeat.

Catherine was just perfect on our special day.
Catherine had to rearrange our date because of Covid and did so without any trouble at all, and arranged a trial run before the date. She arrived on time on the day and followed Covid precautions to the letter. Catherine is a friendly professional makeup artist who helped to make my day go perfectly. Not only did she do my makeup along with my daughters. She helped with the flowers and my tiara and veil and the fifty buttons on the back of wedding dress. When the car came she locked the front door of the house for us and waved us off. Catherine went above and beyond her duties as our make up artist and we thank her for all her help in making our day so perfect.

Catherine was so wonderful during my trial + wedding day- perfection! 10/10

I booked Catherine for my wedding to do hair and makeup for me and my 2 bridesmaids. She was fantastic from start to finish, always calm and friendly to really put us all at ease. During the trial she made sure that each of us was comfortable and happy with our hair and makeup style and was absolutely amazing on the day, I could not have wished for anything more. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Catherine.

I booked Catherine to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day for myself, my two bridesmaids, two flower girls and my Mum. Catherine made it such a fantastic experience for us all and we felt like pampered princesses! I highly recommend her services.

A wedding isn't without a healthy dose of stress, and when it's abroad, it's even trickier, cause in order to pin down the right suppliers for your special day you need to rely on recommendations, on your instincts but also have a bit of luck.
Well it's safe to say I was truly lucky to have found Catherine
As a bride I wanted to glow without seemingly trying and Catherine made that happen. Already at our trial she made me feel at ease, open for all my comments, very intuitive, helping me get the right look and we stayed in touch until the wedding. It was all so effortless, like we'd been friends for years.
On my wedding day, she was exactly what a bride needs by her side! Talented, friendly, self-effacing, brilliant!
And as I look at my pictures, I can reminisce carefree about the amazing day it was and how much fun we had. Her 'finishing touch' lasted all day and til after the party.
There are not enough stars for my recommendation!

Catherine was brilliant on my wedding day. I booked Catherine for a hair trial before the wedding. However, I decided to change my look on the day and that didn’t phase her at all. Catherine is very talented and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.

Catherine has been amazing right from day one!
Both her and Katie made the wedding morning very calm and everything ran smoothly. They made us all fell very pretty. I have already recommended them!!

Catherine and her team did an incredible job with making us all feel calm (especially in the move over from Kitts Cottage to the honeymoon suite at Wasing Park) and look our best. Theu all did an amazing job at getting us photo-ready and it was a lovely start to what ended up being the most wonderful day. I would recommend them to anyone.
I so appreciate their work and kindness.
