Talented hair and make up stylist

Zena is an amazing talented hair and make up stylist. She did my bridal hair and make up together with my bridesmaid and wedding party! She listened to what we were looking for during the trial and we were so very pleased with the results on the day. Both hair and make up lasted all day and we all had lovely comments from our guests. We were very happy and would definitely recommend Zena!

Wedding guest make up & hair

My daughter in law & I had a wonderful hair & make up experience with Zena for a special family wedding. Zena gave pre skin & hair care advice to achieve the best result. She thoroughly pampered us and we received so many lovely compliments during the day. Our make up and hair lasted from early morning to late into the night with no touch ups. Zena’s professionalism but personal touch was exceptional.

Zena was fabulous!

Zena was absolutely fabulous from my first enquiry email right through to the wedding day. She phoned me super quickly after my initial enquiry to go through all the details and give me a quote. This was a relief as we did not have much time to plan our wedding. During my hair and make up trial she managed to achieve everything I was hoping for, and when I saw the back of my hair in the mirror I couldn't believe she had been able to take my tangled mess of curls and create such a beautiful look! The make up was stunning - I'd asked for a natural look, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Zena arrived very promptly on my wedding morning, which helped ease the nerves, and recreated the trial look perfectly. I felt super special and as an older bride (I've just turned 49) it was lovely to still be able to have that princess feeling. I felt super confident throughout the day. Although my wedding was very small and low key, I'm so pleased I treated myself to Zena's very professional but super friendly services. My only challenge was trying to keep my lovely hair and make up whilst in the hot tub in the hotel spa later on!!

Wonderful experience!

Zena is very professional and experienced. She is calm and relaxed, which put me at ease, and I really enjoyed the whole experience, from the trial
to the actual day! Zena really listened to what I wanted and I felt really confident that I looked my best. Thank you Zena !

Lifesaver!

I had to find a make-up artist every last minute as the someone who I booked unfortunately had a family emergency. Zena came to the rescue! Thankfully she had availability for the day and was very accommodating with my last minute messages. She did make up for me, my mum and two of my bridesmaids and we all looked gorgeous!

The best ever 🩷

I can’t recommend Zena enough, from the first email exchange she was so friendly and professional. I was clear from day 1 that I wanted a natural soft glam look and that is exactly was Zena delivered. We had multiple exchanges and Zena was so accommodating. During the trial Zena took the time to understand not only my skin and hair but also my other bridesmaids and my mum. The trial was fantastic and I couldn’t believe how great I looked and felt with such little product ! Between the trial and the wedding Zena communicated throughout giving me tips on skincare, products to get for the day (not that I needed them) and was always on hand to answer any of questions. On the day Zena did the hair and makeup for myself, my mum and 3 bridesmaids ! Throughout the morning she was calm, relaxed and made it all look super easy! My makeup and hair stayed perfect throughout the entire day and evening. Words can not express how incredibly talented this lady is and how fantastic she is at her job. If you’re thinking of booking her then do it !

Fabulous bridal hair

Zena was brilliant and super-flexible in coming to both my home and the venue to do bridal and four bridesmaids’ hair. She was very proactive in the planning stages and on the day, every hairstyle looked amazing and stayed in place until the very end. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend

Zena came to our rescue 1 week before the wedding when another make up artist cancelled on us and thankfully she was free. She was so helpful pre wedding and was so professional. On the day her makeup was exceptional alongside hair. One person has just finished chemo and post makeup she looked like her normal self. I can not recommend Zena highly enough. She was also very good value.
