Just perfection!

What can I say, Ebony was more than I ever dreamed for my wedding day, it was perfect! I cannot imagine having anyone else. It lasted all day long too! I would fully recommend to everyone! Ebony's communication was brilliant and she is so flexible as I changed both my hair and make up from what we did on my trial.

Ebony is so lovely and made me feel at such ease the day of my wedding. She went above and beyond and she even helped me into my dress!

Thank you so much Ebony! 🧡

My wedding day!

Ebony did my hair and make up for my wedding day and I’ve never felt more beautiful!
I knew I wanted glam hair & glam make up and ebony delivered that & more!! I couldn’t fault any part of my hair & make up on my wedding day, My make up still looked flawless & hair hadn’t moved when I went to bed at 1am!!

I also had 4 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride & the mother of the groom booked for hair & make up,
Ebony & her team made them all feel & look amazing!
The timing was perfect there was no rushing and it was a nice relaxing morning for us all.

Ebony is a such a lovely person and completely put me at ease, she made me feel comfortable from the first time I met her and I’m so glad I chose her to do my hair and make up!
I couldn’t recommend her enough to all future brides!

Thank you!!

I cannot recommend Ebony highly enough! She was absolutely incredible on my special day. Not only is she exceptionally talented—making me look and feel absolutely beautiful—but she was also so professional and calming during the morning preparations. Her calming presence helped ease my nerves, and her attention to detail ensured everything was perfect. Thank you, Ebony, for making me feel like the best version of myself!

Wedding review

Ebony is super friendly and open to all ideas!
From my trial to my wedding morning, Ebony was brilliant making sure I was happy with each step and always happy to change anything. Mine and my bridesmaids hair and make up lasted all day! I was so sad having to take it all off and take my hair down as it was so beautiful!

Ebony is the sort of person you want as part of your special day as she is so lovely and helps make the morning so special for you!

The best makeup artist around

Ebony is amazing at what she does. On my wedding day she did the makeup for me (the bride), 5 bridesmaids and my Mum. Everything ran smoothly and to time. She made all of my bridal party feel comfortable and listened to what they wanted. They all looked beautiful. I was especially pleased with my makeup. I had so many compliments on the day. It also stayed in place all day and night, even though it was a sweaty 28° during the day and was raining in the evening. Thank you Ebony.

Ebony is amazing!!!

I booked for myself, 2 bridesmaids and my mum. From the first message Ebony was so helpful and helped us arrange a trial even though the days we were all available was so tricky! The trial was amazing but we all ended up changing our minds before the day, Ebony was completely unfazed more than happy to help!! We are so glad we all changed because everything looked incredible and we had so many compliments on our hair and makeup. Ebony honestly made my wedding morning, kept me calm when the nerves were kicking in and when there was a mad last minute rush, she was there with the pep talk I needed! Thank you so much, couldn’t have done the morning without you!!!

Ebony is a miracle worker!

Ebony did myself & my mum's hair and make up for my wedding. I found Ebony through Instagram and fell in love with her bridal hair & make up styles. I didn't have a trial as I had full confidence from looking through her pictures that she would be amazing and she did not disappoint! From the moment Ebony arrived in the morning she put me at total ease. We had such a chilled morning and everything went perfectly. I didn't really have a specific vision with what I wanted, but after showing Ebony some photos from her Instagram, she worked her magic and made me feel like the most beautiful bride! Thank you so much Ebony for being amazing, friendly, calming and making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! Our hair and make up lasted all day and we had so many compliments!! Lots of love, Emily & Helena xx

Beat Hair and Make-up

Ebony was absolutely amazing from enquiry right through to my wedding day. I was unsure what sort of style I wanted but I knew I wanted to look fairly natural and like me. Ebony was able to help me decide on a style and colours that matched me and the look I wanted. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable during my trial and helped keep me calm on my big day. Ebony was always happy to answer as many questions as I had and offered suggestions if I was stuck on ideas or inspiration. Ebony really made me feel at ease and so happy to have her as part of my day. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for their wedding hair and makeup. Thank you so much Ebony xxx

Best wedding hair and make up ever!!

Met Ebony at Cooling Castle open day and instantly knew i had to have her do my hair & make-up for my wedding! She literally listened to what i wanted and made it even better than i could have imagined!
Nothing was too much trouble for her - i had a large wedding party all having hair and some make-up. Everyone looked amazing especially my mum who had a horrible bruise on her face - after Ebony had finished her make-up you would not even know it was there!
Not only was she amazing with hair and make-ip she actually kept us in check with timings and with areas in the room that take good pics etc!! Highly recommend her to any bride!!
Cannot thank her enough xxxx

Ebony was the perfect wedding hair and makeup artist!

I had Ebony do my wedding hair and makeup as well as my 3 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls and the mother of the bride. From the second we sat down in the chair Ebony put us all at ease, discussing if I was happy with how my hair and makeup trial went and if there were any changes I wanted to make - which I didn’t because the trial was perfect!

Ebony was running ahead of schedule on the morning of the wedding which meant we weren’t having to rush around and there was no panicking because of timings. My hair and makeup was unlike anything I have ever had done before, it stayed put all day even in the heat and after lots of dancing all night! She highlighted my best features in the most beautiful way and I just wish she could do my makeup every single day! I would highly recommend Ebony to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist for their wedding, she was perfection. Even managing to do 2 toddler girls hair who hate the sight of a hairbrush normally! Thank you Ebony for making me feel so beautiful on my big day 🩷

The most perfect bridal makeup ! 😍

Ebony is such a lovely lady, she ensure my makeup was exactly how I wanted it!

My makeup trail was the first time meeting ebony and she made me feel very welcome and comfortable , her facilities and makeup products/ equipment were hygienic and sterilised. She provided the exact look I was asking for and was above expected due to finding makeup not sitting very well on my skin when doing my own makeup but she used the correct product for my skin type while giving me some information on the types of products being used.

On my big day I had a few changes from my trail. Ebony was a great listener and made the changes perfectly. My makeup look was PERFECT 😍 and all my bridesmaids and guest complimented me! The makeup lasted all night and I was very shocked due to the amount of tears and emotions I had that day.

My mum and sister also had their makeup done but didn’t not have a trail before hand. My mum never wears makeup and she wanted something to make her looks presentable and younger but not too cakey, she loved how ebony did her makeup and did as she asked. She felt beautiful!

Perfect make up experience

From first reaching out, I had a great experience with Ebony. She confirmed availability straight away and booked me in for a trial.
The trial was a great experience, where she looked at photos of my usual make up style and asked questions about what I wanted before achieving a fantastic look. She took photos to keep for herself and sent over the products so that I was able to purchase some of my own lipstick for top ups.
On the day she was great to have in the getting ready room. She achieved exactly what each of my bridesmaids wanted and my mum was so pleased with her look that she wants to book Ebony for every occasion now.
She was patient when some of us were pulled for photos midway through make up and did some staged photos where needed too.
She then topped each of us up just before the big event.
Would highly recommend her as someone who can achieve perfect looks but also as someone friendly, calm and perfect for the morning of a wedding.

Excellent MUA!

Ebony and her team were excellent. I did have a trial which I think for most brides is worth it. Felt super beautiful on the day and my bridesmaids and the Mums looked amazing. Definitely recommend.
