Hair and Make-up by Gabrielle

Gabi was so lovely, she made me feel very relaxed, like myself and listened to any changes I wanted to make. She was on time, efficient and incredibly attentive. As well as doing my hair and make up, we chatted about lots of things which also helped take my mind off anything that needed to happen on the day.
Thankyou again!

I am so happy that I found Gabi.
Firstly (and as you can see from the photos on here, google reviews and her website) she is EXTREMELY talented. She manages to make everyone look gorgeous whilst still 100% looking like themselves. Any small comment you make about concerns / preferences on how to have your hair or make-up are seamlessly incorporated into her suggestions. And she gives excellent advice about preparation to really make sure you're ready for the day.
But what you can't see in the photos is how wonderful Gabi herself is. She was so reassuring to communicate with in the run up to the wedding (which was made especially stressful thanks to COVID!). And on the day itself, I can't think of anyone else I would rather have had join me and the bridesmaids for the morning.
Do not hesitate, reach out to Gabi now and book her asap!

I am so thankful to have had Gabi and her colleague Rebecca looking after hair and makeup on my wedding day in October 2020. They are both incredibly talented, of that there is no doubt! The hairstyles and the makeup were done so beautifully and lasted flawlessly for the whole day with no touch ups at all! I loved that on the wedding morning, Gabi explained how she had been studying the photos from our trial and wanted to make one tiny tweak to ensure a camera captures a colour slightly better. It was such a small change that I would never have notice it myself but this attention to detail is just wonderful and this effort and care level runs throughout the whole experience.

Along with their talent, Gabi and Rebecca also brought so much experience of weddings and a sense of calm to the morning preparations, this meant my whole family felt so relaxed and truly pampered! They also worked brilliantly with the photographer and this made everything so relaxed and well managed.

From the outset, Gabi has been utterly professional and so easy to work with. Despite a pandemic to battle, Gabi made me feel special and excited about my big day at every turn. We had the hair and makeup trial in a safe environment, all very clean, with PPE and clearly a great deal of attention had been paid to the guidelines and the etiquette. When I had to tweak the booking when the guest numbers moved down to 15, Gabi was amazing and so accommodating. Customer service is clearly of the utmost importance to Gabi and I have so much respect and appreciation for that, especially at a time which is putting so much strain on the wedding industry.

I was so impressed throughout with Gabi’s creativity, it is clear this is her passion and her enthusiasm and joy is infectious! I cannot recommend her highly enough, so much so that I am also making another booking for my wedding blessing and reception in November 2021!

I originally contacted Gabi back in Feb to do my hair and makeup for what was originally meant to be a big wedding in October. She was very responsive and made me feel at ease right away by coming back to my questions very quickly. Unfortunately due to coronavirus our original plans had to change and we moved our bigger celebration to next year. We did however decide to go ahead with a smaller legal ceremony on the original date as planned. I spoke to Gabi to explain the situation and she was so helpful and accommodating to make sure she was available to support on both occasions.
In the run up to October we did a trail. That in its self was a wonderful experience and Gabi really took the time to listen to what I wanted and put me right at ease.
On the wedding day it’s self I felt so calm in Gabi’s capable hands I managed to feel very relax and just enjoy the day. I loved the end result and also the look she and her assistant did for my sister who was bridesmaid! We had so many compliments on the day!
Overall I felt like a princess and can’t wait to do it all over again next year! Thanks Gabi! X

I was so happy with my wedding hair and makeup by Gabrielle. She did an amazing job, never thought I could look so nice! Not only is she super professional, she has a lovely gentle personality and was a great calming influence on the big day which was exactly what I needed. I would definitely recommend her!

Gabi is not only extremely talented hair and makeup artist, she is a lovely person. She goes a long way to create a relaxed atmosphere of calm and confidence on your wedding day. She provides such good ideas and advice during the planning stages and works her magic with ease and professionalism. I can't recommend her services highly enough to any bride, as you can be sure that she will make you look more than your best on the day. She deserves all of the awards and accolades that she has won.

Gabi is one in a million and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Initially, I struggled to find a wedding hair stylist who understood the look I wanted but as soon as I had a trial with Gabi, I was stunned by how incredible her work is and booked her on the spot! Gabi is such a pleasure to work with - she’s warm and enthusiastic, incredibly responsive and really listens to you. It was lovely having her there on the morning of the wedding as she really made me feel at ease. I was overjoyed with how my hair looked on my wedding day and the style stayed in place right to the very last dance and beyond!

Gabi and her team did an absolutely amazing job on myself and my bridal party on my special day. In total there was six of us (bride, mother of the bride and four bridesmaids). We were up at the crack of dawn but it was so worth it.

We all looked and felt gorgeous. Gabi listened to my vision and offered really helpful suggestions to make the look even more wow.

Honestly, the only thing i can say is thank you. No regrets with using Gabi, i would do it again in a heartbeat x

Gabi is an absolute blessing, not only in her hair and make up skills, but also in playing such a crucial role on what was one of the most important days of my life. I was a tricky client because I don’t normally wear makeup and have unfortunately had several disastrous makeovers in the past. I was therefore very apprehensive and nervous about the process, especially given that we were not able to have a trial session due to lockdown. However, I had faith in Gabi because all of the online images of her work were consistent and exactly the kind of look I wanted to achieve.

Gabi had a natural ability with putting me at ease, calming my nerves and also bringing humour and great advice whilst working her magic. It was so refreshing to meet and work with someone so genuine and who cared and listened to my needs. I must admit that I was very nervous while the make up was being applied but I kept my faith and the time just flew by. When I looked in the mirror at the end, I was speechless. Gabi had the magical ability to make me look and feel like the most amazing version of myself. I have never felt that confident ever before and never would have thought that makeup could have that amount of power whilst remaining so subtle and natural looking. Everyone complimented me on my glowing skin and flawless finish but were surprised to learn about the makeup as it just looked so natural.

I had a bespoke 1920’s look with a hand beaded and feather trimmed ice blue mermaid gown. Gabi expertly assembled my boho headpiece, veil and ensured the makeup tones complimented the colour of the gown, flowers and my skin. Strangers were stopping me on the street to compliment the look and a few even asked to take a picture of me with their phones!! I was also told by other professionals that they had never seen such an amazing look put together like that. So… if that’s not enough to showcase the talent and passion of this amazing lady, then I don’t know what is!

I don’t normally write reviews but Gabi left such a lasting impact that I had to share my experience. If you are lucky to get a slot in her diary then you will also be one of the privileged few who will benefit from her magic!

My dearest Gabi - thank you sooooooo much from the bottom of my heart. You made my day by making me look and feel amazing! Much love to you and your family and thanks again 🥰

Thank you Gabi for helping to make my wedding day so wonderful! Gabi was very accommodating with our time frame as we live overseas but were getting married in the UK, and due to some personal circumstances it was at short notice. Gabi listened and understood the look I wanted to achieve and the result was just perfect. I can thoroughly recommend Gabi for her skills and professionalism - thank you so much!

Gabi did my hair and make up for my wedding and did a wonderful job! She was responsive before and after the trial in the lead up to the big day. On the day she was on time, calm and positive, making us all feel at ease. Thank you Gabi!

Gabi was polite and made me feel very relaxed the day of the wedding. After my pre-wedding trial she listened to everything I had to say and we worked together to find the perfect style for me. She also did my maid of honour's make-up and made her look beautiful!

Loved my hair and make up on my wedding day. I got so many compliments. So lucky to have found a local hair and makeup artist who is not only great at what she does, but also passionate about her job.

As soon as Gabi was about 5 minutes into my hair trial, I was pretty sure I was going to book her. She listened carefully to what I wanted before tweaking it to actually suit me, and making me look AMAZING.
On the day, she brought an assistant along as my two adult bridesmaids also had hair and make up, and my mum had her hair done too. Both Gabi and her assistant Rebecca were warm, friendly, professional and a little bubble of calm in the mayhem of a wedding day. She sorted out my veil perfectly (coming up with a solution that meant my bridesmaids didn’t have to worry about swapping combs over when I wanted to take it out) and also took some beautiful photos of me getting ready. I would recommend her over and over again - what a talent, and so pleased I was able to work with her!

Gabi did hair and make-up for my wedding last Saturday (June 2019). I was quite nervous (despite having had a trial run a few weeks earlier) as I was undergoing medical treatment which meant my hair was thinning and was also grey! However, Gabi made me feel very at ease, made my hair look full of body (she knows a lot of tricks!) and gave me a beautiful make-over which lasted all day even in 27 degree heat! She and her colleague Becky also did hair and make up for my Mum and my two bridesmaids, all of whom were delighted with the results. My Maid of Honour has very thick and heavy hair and only discovered at the end of the day that Gabi had put in 47 hair pins - she was not going to let that hair fall down! As well as being very skilful, Gabi is a really lovely person and I very much enjoyed spending time with her. I highly recommend her.
