Lovely morning with Melissa

Melissa was with me on the morning of my wedding helping myself and my 4 bridesmaids to get ready. I loved Melissa's calm and kind presence and she managed to give me an incredible up do which lasted the whole day! The bridesmaids each had something personal and they were all very happy. Thank you Melissa, I don't know how I will cope without this level of glam for my everyday life! (photo courtesy of Victoria Green photography).

Bridal party hair was perfect!

I am so glad I chose Melissa to style my hair on my wedding day! She did an exceptional job. Due to travel before the wedding, I didn’t have time to do a trial. I described what I wanted and sent some example pictures, and she was able to do exactly what I wanted, including adding flowers to my hair. I could not have asked for better. I highly recommend her!

Amazing hairstylist - couldn’t recommend enough

Melissa did mine and my 5 bridesmaids hair on my wedding day in August 2023! We were all blown away with what she had created. We all had so many complements throughout the day and the styles stayed in place the entire time.

Melissa is friendly but professional and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Thank you!

Very reliable and professional hair stylist

Was very professional and accommodating. Worked with me until we came up with an up-do that would be perfect for the day in the trial. The actual wedding day went so smoothly and that was in part thanks to Melissa's reliable timing, flexibility with the mother of the bride and mother of the groom and she was very reasonable in her pricing. Thanks so much!

The prettiest I've ever felt

Melissa was more than my hairstylist, she made me feel beautiful, was a friend for the morning and helped look after my child! She truly went above and beyond and gelled so well with everyone getting ready. My hair stayed perfect all day and I received a lot of compliments. She also did my daughter's hair and played with her when she was getting a bit boisterous and generally was an all-round lovely person. She even left me a sweet card and champs as a gift. I know I made the right choice with her and will forever be thankful. I should mention she was always on time for our appointments and kept in communication throughout.

Absolutely Fantastic

I can not thank Melissa enough for the amazing job she did on my Wedding Day, my beautiful Bridesmaids and of course my hair was just stunning. Melissa was so lovely and friendly and was on hand to help with Bridesmaids getting dressed and me! Thank you Melissa
Everyone commented on my hair on the day and it really did look amazing, I told Melissa how I wanted my hair and she nailed it, we had a hair trail couple weeks prior so we knew what if anything I'd like to change come the day. I'm so happy I found Melissa on Hitched she truly was so fantastic and lovely she made me look beautiful for my special day. Thank you again Melissa for everything. Love Vicki & Ben xx

Wedding Ripley /guilford ( bridal make up )

Hi Melissa
Hope you are well.

I just wanted to say a really big thank you for the amazing make up you did for myself and the two family guests for my sons wedding.
You applied the make up exactly according to our individual needs and wonderfully enhancing our facial characteristics. So many people complimented us. And it lasted from that early morning application right though until midnight through many joyously emotional moments. Through my happy tears I did not have to worry about my make up running or streaking at all.

We all had an amazing day. Thank you again.

Take care

Fashion, Editorial & Theatre

I have styled for:
