Fantastic Experience

Sarah was amazing! She was kind, patient, and really took the time to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Her communication was always clear, and she made the whole process feel easy and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in great hands.

Wonderful!

Sarah was fantastic for my wedding. The quality of her hair and make up were really top notch. I don’t wear much make up and wanted a natural look, which Sarah was fantastic at and great at coaching me through my options. I felt i still looked like me, but the best version of me. Hair was also great. Takes time in the chair, but a good result. She’s also very friendly and interesting to talk to.

Beautiful hair and makeup - would 100% recommend!!

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for doing an incredible job on my bridesmaids! Their hair AND makeup was stunning, flawless, lasted all day and the amount of lovely comments I and they had saying how stunning their hair and makeup was. It literally did not budge at all not even after all the dancing when we got quite warm - I don’t know what you did but it stayed perfect all day!! I can’t get over their hair it just looked beautiful, the curls stayed put for the entire day which was about 20 hours by the time we finished the night!!

You really helped to make our day so fantastic and can’t thank you enough!!

Wonderful hair for myself and bridesmaids

Sarah is a lovely lady for whom nothing is too much trouble. She was really good about getting back to me quickly in response to my questions on weekdays and was accomodating about letting me have the hair and make up trial at her house when we visited the venue as we don't live in the area.

Sarah arrived before us on the day and did a great job with hair for myself and two bridesmaids. We each have quite different hair and she was able to bring out the best in this. My style remained all day. I was also very happy with my make up as I have sensitive skin but had no problems with this make up. Again it lasted all day and evening and Sarah gave me a small pot of tye lipstick to touch up my lips.

I would definitely recommend Sarah's services. Thanks again!

Couldn’t recommend enough!

I can't recommend Sarah enough as a wedding makeup and hair artist! From the very beginning, she was amazing to work with. During my trial, she not only listened to my vision for my hair and makeup but also offered fantastic guidance on how we could refine the look to make it even better. Her suggestions really took my initial ideas to the next level, and by the end, my hairstyle was absolutely perfect!

Sarah was incredibly responsive throughout the process, always quick to answer any questions I had and offering helpful advice, especially when it came to touch-up makeup for the day. On the wedding day itself, my makeup and hair lasted flawlessly without the need for any adjustments or touch-ups. It was so reassuring to know I could just enjoy my day without worrying about my look!

She also worked her magic on my bridesmaids and mums. Each of them was thrilled with their hair and makeup, which turned out exactly as they had hoped—Sarah really listened to everyone’s preferences and made sure they felt beautiful. The makeup she did for me had the perfect balance of natural beauty and good coverage, making me feel glowing without feeling overly done-up.

Sarah’s talent, professionalism, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with, and I’m so grateful she was part of our special day. If you're looking for a makeup and hair artist who will make you look and feel amazing, Sarah is definitely the one to go to!

Absolutely Fantastic

Sarah was absolutely incredible from start to finish, nothing was too difficult. Completely put me at ease during the trial, absolute professional while being so kind and approachable. Her and Claire did an absolutely fantastic job on all NINE of us yes nine and the end when my sister realised she wanted her hair differently (match my other sister) it was not an issue. They went above and beyond and made our special day even more special by just being so kind. I had and still receive so many compliments on how fantastic I looked and it’s all down to Sarah! Absolutely hire her immediately you won’t regret it.

Flawless bridal hair

Sarah was incredible to work with and is a perfectionist; it’s clear that she loves what she does. At my trial, I was put at complete ease, and we discussed options and tried a couple of ideas after showing some photos I liked. On the day, Sarah suggested a tweak following the trial, which I whole-heartedly agreed with, and she did both my own hair and my four bridesmaids' hair perfectly, each of us with different hair types and styles. She made sure that not a hair was out of place, and our hairstyles lasted all day, even after dancing all evening! Sarah is also so lovely to chat to, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Wedding hair and make-up

Sarah created the perfect wedding hair and make-up for my day - tailoring the look to make me feel my best and making sure my hair stayed perfectly in place all day! I am so grateful for how relaxed Sarah made me feel on my wedding morning. Sarah took the time during hair and make-up trials to check what style I was happiest with.

Fabulous and a lot of fun!

I couldn’t have asked for a better make-up/hair artist to beautify me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. From the trial right through to the day itself, Sarah was magnificent - as was Claire who came with her on the day as there were 6 of us getting ready. I’m not someone who ever really wears make up or makes any effort with my hair and so being made up was something that felt quite daunting to me… Sarah made me feel so comfortable and made the whole experience a very happy and fun one. Thank you so much Sarah!

Just what I wanted

Sarah did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and it was perfect. We had a trial about 2 months before the day, and we discussed what I liked and what tweaks I wanted then, but once I’d worn it for the day and had more thoughts she was happy to incorporate those on the day of. She was very responsive and took my comments on board which resulted in a look that felt very me! She also did my sister’s hair which was gorgeous!

Flawless Make up and Hair

I do not wear makeup normally so was nervous and out of my depth with this part of my wedding planning...that was until I met Sarah. Sarah was clear, understood what I wanted immediately and executed it beautifully. I have never felt more stunning and confident. The make up and hair looked spectacular all night without touch ups! She carefully added my grandmother's 1957 headdress in such a way that it looked stunning and sustained no damage despite me dancing for 3 hours! Sarah was a calming, friendly presence as my bridesmaids and I got ready. She was professional, punctual and a clear communicator both throughout the planning and on the day. She used high quality, long-lasting products which didn't cause any irritation to my sensitive skin. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Amazing Experience

We hired Sarah for our Wedding in October 2023. Nothing was too much trouble - Sarah made me feel very relaxed from the hair and makeup trial right up to the wedding day. On the day itself, Sarah and Anna worked their magic on all 5 of us in plenty of time, completing all of our hair and makeup to a perfect standard and to our particular requests. They both created a relaxed environment which could have easily become very overwhelming and left plenty of time for touch ups if needed.
I would highly recommend Sarah Wray for any special event!
