So pleased

Mandy was quite simply amazing! She arrived at 6am on a chilly October morning after travelling for an hour. She got straight to work transforming my lovely daughter into a very beautiful bride. Jess was so happy with the beautiful hair do and makeup, Mandy had listened to all that she had asked for. She also did hair and makeup for Jess’ bridesmaid and myself. We were also super pleased with our transformations. We all felt a million dollars thanks to Mandy. She is exceptionally good at her job. You will be in safe hands with Mandy.

Amazing hair and make up!

Wow! Mandy is so talented and made my bridesmaid, mum and I feel like a million dollars. She is so friendly and made me feel at ease and in safe hands. She listened to my ideas and matched them perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone at the happiest time in their life! Thanks so much Mandy!

Fabulous from start to finish!

Mandy is phenomenal! Not really knowing anything about hair and make-up just knowing I wanted “natural” she made me look amazing! As a bride, naturally I was worried about time on my wedding morning, but Mandy worked tirelessly for many hours to ensure me and my 7 (!!) bridesmaids looked amazing! I couldn’t have been happier. Mandy is a pleasure to deal with and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Absolutely fantastic

Mandy was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day, doing the hair and make up for 5 wedding party members. She was well organised and a much needed calming influence! Everyone looked beautiful and the makeovers lasted all evening! We wont hesitate to book Mandy again for other family events in the future. Thank you Mandy!

I can't thank Mandy enough

I cannot fault any of the services that Mandy provided me with for my wedding she was absolutely fabulous! She was professional at all times and always made sure that I was happy with my hair and make up during my trial before the final decision was made on what I was going to have. On the day of the wedding she arrived well before she was supposed too and was chatting to everyone and joining in the conversation. My mum absolutely loved her hair and said that it made her feel very pretty and lady like as my mum is quite a Tom boy! My hair and make up on the day largest from 1pm until 1am and would have lasted longer if I didn't need to go to sleep! I cannot reccomened Big day hair and make-up enough! Thank you Mandy for everything I loved everything! Everyone was commenting on how lovely my hair and make up was and how natural and not cake like it looked! I cannot say thank you enough Mandy

Highly recommended

An excellent job on our wedding this weekend. Mandy was flexible, full of advice and couldn’t have done more on the big day! I highly recommend her services, the photographs she took afterwards were an added bonus.
Everyone looked perfect and the make up lasted all night!

Mandy did such an amazing job

Mandy did an absolutely fantastic job. Not only did the hair look amazing, she also helped with the finishing touches to make sure the wedding started on time. I could not thank her enough for being so friendly and for doing such a good job.

Highly recommended

Mandy arrived at 5.30am to do hair and make up for the bride (Kelly) 4bridesmaids and myself-mother of the bride. Kelly wanted make up to be very natural and hair curled for herself and the bridesmaids. Mandy looked at their hair and made suggestions - all of which were agreed with. As I was wearing a hat I just thought I would have my hair straightened - again Mandy made suggestions and I let her do what she thought. I have never had as many good comments about how good my hair looked. We all thought Mandy was very professional and were very pleased with the end results. All our hair and make up lasted all evening as well which was a bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending Mandy for hair and make up.

I knew I had found the person for me

I was initially rather nervous about finding someone to do the hair and make up for my wedding but having looked at Mandy’s portfolio, I knew I had found the person for me. We arranged a trial for my mum and myself a few months before the wedding. Mum has very sensitive skin and the last thing we wanted was for her to have an allergic reaction on the big day. Mandy wrote down everything that she had used on us both and was especially careful on the morning of the wedding to not use anything different. She made us, and my two adult bridesmaids look amazing – we all wanted a very natural look, which is exactly what we got. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed having their make up done and my sister was especially impressed as she is so pale that even the lightest foundations, from well known makes, are too dark but Mandy got the shade just right for her. Mandy also created a fabulous up do for myself, ensuring that the back of my dress could be seen and that my veil could easily be removed as the evening went on. She was amazing with my two young nieces who had a half up, half down style with a slight curl. Our hair and make up lasted all day and night and we can’t wait to see the professional photos. Thank you so much Mandy.

A Fantastic Experience

What a fantastic experience! Mandy put me at ease from our initial email contact, I was a bit worried about the timings as my wedding was quite early and I wanted hair and make-up for myself and two bridesmaids. Mandy reassured me that it would be no problem and I immediately felt that she would have it all under control (she did!).

I showed her a couple of pictures of hairstyles I liked and gave her the make-up brief of “not too much, just a really nice version of me” which she completely understood. Mandy knew exactly what would suit my colouring and I was really impressed with the results, my bridesmaids looked amazing as well ??One thing we were all really impressed with was how well our hair and make-up lasted! It was a really long day (10.30am- midnight), incredibly hot weather and involved some very energetic ceilidh dancing but everything stayed put and looked fresh!
Finally, I would just like to say what a lovely relaxing presence Mandy was, it was a pleasure to have her there in the morning. We had a giggle and she was great at keeping everything running along, I didn’t have to worry about anything. She stayed until we were leaving the hotel making sure that all the little last, minute details were perfect. I’m just sad I can’t do it all over again.

Thank you Mandy for helping to make my day so perfect.

I got married in December 2016. I was unsure of how I wanted both my hair and make up. I searched online and opted for Mandy and without a doubt I made the right decision. I had a trial along with two of my bridesmaids, I liked Mandy instaantly, she is very friendly, chatty, professional and approachable. She offered very good advice on what hairstyles would suit me and compliment the dress I was would be wearing, I wear very little make up so I let her have apply what she felt would look good and I wasn't disappointed.
Mandy had hair and make up to do for me and my three bridesmaids, we all had different styles and looked beautiful, she also had another hairdo to do and hair and minimal make up for my two younger bridesmaids, she worked to a very tight schedule but was professional, calm, patient and a good laugh throughout, she made the morning fly by!
I had so many comments on both my hair and make up and on how stunning I looked, thanks to her I felt amazing and so did my bridesmaids. My hair stayed in place all day and throughout the whole evening.
