Absolute actual legend

I don't even have enough words to describe how amazing Hayley was and is from start to finish. For someone who had no idea what to do and how to look she completely made me and my bridesmaids (mostly me but also everyone) feel completely comfortable and I had complete trust in her from the minute we started talking! So easy and fun and effortlessly amazing. Can't thank you enough!!!!!!!

Thank you Hayley!

Hayley was absolutely fantastic, she is incredibly professional and you can tell she has a wealth of experience. Everyone’s makeup, and my hair, lasted all night (and into the next day…). Her natural style was just what I was looking for, and with 7 bridesmaids plus two mums, the quick makeup option was perfect for a relaxed morning getting ready as I’d heard horror stories of 5am starts!
Although we didn’t have time to do a trial, Hayley arranged a phone call with me to chat about what I wanted beforehand, and she arrived fully prepared on the day.
I would definitely go to Hayley if I need my hair or makeup done again, thank you so much!

Bath Wedding May 2026

Cannot praise Hayley enough! On a day where you naturally feel abot nervy, Hayley was fantastic at making me feel relaxed and excited. Whilst I was unable to have a trial a quick video call was all it took for Hayley to give me the perfect hair and makeup on the big day! I felt beautiful and the pictures were stunning, I cant thank her enough!

Wonderful Hayley!

Hayley was amazing start to finish. From our trial to the day, she made me feel at ease and the best version of myself. Honestly couldn’t recommend Hayley highly enough, cool calm and collected and it was the best start to my wedding day

Hayley is just the best you can get, don’t look any further..

Hayley is such an exceptionally talented make up and hair artist and you truly cannot get any better; she is truly beautiful inside and out and her ability to make you feel wonderful absolutely shines through.

As someone with shorter hair and a specific vision on how I wanted to look, Hayley listened and went above and beyond to give me my dream bridal look. I didn’t want to look like every other bride and Hayley delivers your individualised look based on both your own wishes and what will work well on your skin and hair to create an incredible look.

On the day of my wedding, I had a bit of a crisis and Hayley was calm, compassionate and very patient which is just what I needed. I cannot recommend her enough.

There are make-up artists out there who deliver a one size fits all uniform look for every bride and then there is Hayley who’s advanced skills will have you looking beautifully unique according to exactly what you want.

Dreamy Hair & Makeup for my special day

Hayley did a fantastic job at my Hair & Makeup for my Wedding in North Devon. I took advantage of the pre-wedding trail appointment with her to discuss my requirements and try out our plans which wired really well.

Hayley knew exactly what kind of makeup suited my skin tone plus she incorporated some of my own so I could keep my lips topped up when she wasn’t around later throughout the day and evening.

I had a rather heavy veil which Hayley managed to secure very well and it all stayed in place perfectly.

Thank you Hayley for helping make my day so special! x

Must have hair and make-up artist!!!!

Since the first time I spoke to Hayley I knew she was the artist I wanted for my wedding day. She was incredibly communicative, friendly and supportive.

She listened to my desires, whilst also inputting her professional advice to create the perfect look for myself, my mum and bridesmaid. She has such a talent with hair and make up, and really is an artist.
100% recommend.

Thank you again Hayley! Xxx

HDB, what a superstar! ♥️

I don’t know where to begin! Hayley is incredibly approachable, warm, kind, lovely person both in person and over the phone, and she was an absolute pleasure to have as a part of our day. She was very reassuring and helped me massively in deciding on my final look as I was never certain or sure what to go with. Hayley was incredibly flexible with my trial booking, as she travelled all the way to London from the South West and was able to work around my crazy shift work schedule.

Now to the actual day, she arrived early, kept me calm, chilled as the time ticked down, and even helped me put on my shoes (which was a bit of a struggle in my dress). The look itself on the day was amazing, I felt incredible and it was exactly what I wanted. Hayley worked an absolute miracle on my hair, it’s normally flat as anything and it stayed put all day. My bridal party that Hayley had done various hair and make up on were nothing but complimentary regarding her work, including my MiL, who normally hates having her make up done by another person as it never meets her expectation, but she had the opposite experience when having her makeup done by Hayley.

If you’re thinking of booking Hayley as your HMUA, absolutely 1000% do it. There’s a reason why she’s booked up and wins so many awards. She is incredibly skilful at what she does but topping it off, she’s just a lovely person as well.

Thank you so much for making me live my Dita von Teese fantasy on my wedding day!

Exceptional!

Hayley was an absolute dream to work with! She instantly made us all feel comfortable and at ease, and she went above and beyond to make sure I and my bridal party felt beautiful and confident with our hair and makeup. Not only was she professional, but her warmth and friendliness truly made the morning so special. Communication was easy from start to finish, and I honestly couldn’t recommend Hayley enough, she’s incredible at what she does and such a joy to be around!

Such a beautiful natural look, loved it – Thank You!

I had such a great experience with Hayley! She was lovely, super friendly and professional. She made me feel completely at ease from the moment she arrived, and also made a lot of effort with my mum, speaking few words of French to her, which really helped making the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable.

She did a fantastic job with both my hair and makeup—exactly what I was hoping for. I felt like me but with this extra "je ne sais quoi". The groom certainly approved too!

I’d highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again, Hayley for being part of our day and making me feel so confident and beautiful with a natural look!

Dorset Wedding July 2025

Hayley was rapid at hair and make up which meant
We could start the day a bit later. We had lots of different hair types and she made everyone look and feel great. The wedding more all ran on time which made it really relaxed and fun for the bridal party.
I’d strongly recommend Hayley!

Absolute Magic

I can’t quite put into words how incredible Hayley was throughout the whole process. From the first initial call, to the trial, and finally the spells she cast on both mine and my bridesmaids hair, and how incredible she made us all look.

From the outset, I knew my hair was going to be challenge. My hair notorious for being dead straight and no amount of hairspray, or curling equipment ever created waves or curls that didn’t fall out in half an hour. However, for my wedding day, I obviously decided I wished for curls 🤣 All I can say is that Hayley created pure magic on the day. Not only did she give me the wedding hair of my dreams it lasted in the blistering heat, even until the next morning. Absolutely incredible. As for my makeup, I’m not a massive heavy makeup up wearer but wanted to feel natural on the day while looking a little bit more glam than usual and boy did she deliver.

My bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful. One of them had developed a dermatological issue on her scalp prior to the wedding and she was very apprehensive about what could be done with her hair. Hayley however liaised with her directly and put her at ease. On the day, once again, worked her magic and helped make my cousin feel and look incredible. To this day she still talks about how amazing Hayley helped make her feel with something she was so self conscious about.

Hayley was also incredible with helping my niece who is autistic and was struggling a bit in the morning with the whole process. She kept her calm and was able to do both her hair and make up and made her feel wonderful.

Hayley, truly, thank you for your skill, patience, counsel, and a calm morning getting ready. The photos of you helping my brothers with their button holes really warm my heart. Thank you for everything you did, it was so special having you as part of the day ❤️

The Queen of Hair and Makeup

I wish Hayley could do my hair and makeup everyday!!!! My husband booked Hayley for me as a surprise for our wedding. Due to the distance and location we were getting married I was unable to have a trial so Hayley organised a consultation over the phone which absolutely terrified me but Hayley could not have made me feel more at ease. Hayley was available for any advice whenever I needed and when the wedding day arrived, she walked through the door and once again calmed my nerves. I have never felt so pretty, and most importantly still looked like myself. I would recommend Hayley a thousand times over. Not only is she magic with brushes and curlers but a beautiful person to be around

Hayley really is the best!

Hayley was fantastic.
From the minute I contacted her to enquire she made me feel at ease! Immediately after entering my trial it was like I’d known her years! She gave advice about my hair which I will use forever!
She fitted right into the chilled vibe we were going for on our wedding day and made me feel stressless and at ease (even coming an hour early due to a last minute issue with transport).
Thank you Hayley, you made a special day even more special!
