By Millie – Bridal Hair & Makeup

I’m Millie, a professional hair and makeup artist with over 14 years in the beauty industry and the proud owner of Studio 89 Bournemouth, one of Dorset’s leading luxury salons.

My love for beauty started when I was a little girl and became a career at just 14 years old. Now 28, I bring years of experience, passion and a true perfectionist’s eye to every bride I work with. Attention to detail is everything to me — from flawless skin to hair that lasts from “I do” to the dance floor.

I specialise in bridal hair and makeup but also offer facials, brows, lash lifts, spray tans and bespoke pamper experiences, making me your go to for the full pre wedding glow. I absolutely love being part of such a romantic, once in a lifetime day and helping you feel confident, calm and beautifully you.

I’m known for my calm, chilled nature and thrive working under pressure, creating a relaxed, positive atmosphere on the morning of your wedding — even when timings are tight. I believe a peaceful start sets the tone for the whole day.

Alongside weddings, I also cater to hen parties, birthdays, date nights, special occasions and luxury pamper sessions. I’m a true girls’ girl at heart and there’s nothing I love more than making people feel their most beautiful.

Based in Bournemouth, I travel throughout Dorset, Hampshire and beyond, and for larger bridal parties I work alongside my team of talented assistants to ensure a seamless, stress free and luxurious experience for everyone.

Your day, your vision, perfected 🤍

Fantastic service

Millie was so friendly and we had a lovely morning getting ready with her and chatting. Our hair and make-up lasted great and there was no pressure to book a trial as we were tight on time. She was on hand before the day with advice and recommendations too.

Best lady for the job

I honestly can not fault Millie, she's done my make up on a number of occassions over the years and have been impressed by her work. This weekend she did my make up and hair my wedding for me and some of our bridesmaids and guests. I felt absolutely beautiful and it stayed on all day. Highly recommend Millie.
