Louise is FAB!

Louise was absolutely delightful from start to finish, and she did both my hair and make up on the day! She was really kind and helpful in giving recommendations and suggestions. We did two trials before the day as I changed my mind on my hair and she was super happy to do so. Louise was really calming the morning of and saw that the nerves and tears were about to get to me at one point and snapped me out of it! I cannot thank Louise enough, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt! If you’re considering Louise, let this be the sign to choose her, because I would every time! Thank you so so much! 🥰

Lovely Hair and Make Up

Despite being apprehensive, Louise was attentive in listening to my ideas and the look I wanted to go for on my wedding day. She was professional and flexible. She was able to deal well with Asian hair and skin. Despite a hiccup on the day, Louise stayed calm and reassuring and was able to adapt to the situation. Louise also brought an Assistant Mollie along to help on the day, who was also great. My family and I were happy with our looks on the day. My hair and make up lasted the whole day too and barely a hair out of place.

Louise was excellent!!

Louise, thank you so much! You hit the “natural” brief for my Indian ceremony & wedding day perfectly and were excellent with both me, my mum & my bridesmaids. I would highly recommend anyone to use Louise, you were so lovely, calm and I absolutely loved how I felt with both my hair & make up!

Thank you so much Louise!

My husband and I had a small registry wedding with close family. I initially thought of doing my own hair and makeup but I'm so so happy I went with Louise instead. I didn't have a trial but Louise achieved my vision of keeping it natural but also special. Louise was so friendly and great at communicating as she went along, keeping me involved in the process and building the look I wanted to achieve together. She kept me calm and was organised along the way with regular communication and planning out the morning. It was the first time I was ready before everyone else! Thank you so much Louise!

Lovely bridal hair and makeup

Louise did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup! The look was what I envisioned: natural, flawless, and long-lasting throughout the day. She was calm, professional, and incredibly organised, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I couldn’t have been happier with the result!

Highly Recommend!

Louise was absolutely amazing! I don’t tend to wear a lot of make up and so was nervous about having it done for the day but Louise was so patient and offered a lot of her time with 2 x trials to make sure I was happy with the overall look. She was so quick to respond and answer any questions. Could not have asked for more!

Helped me look my best for my wedding

Louise is great fun and a great makeup artist. As someone who knows little about make-up and doesn't wear that much, Louise was great at taking me step by step and building it up so I could change anything as we went along - and so I got exactly what I wanted! Louise arranged for 2 amazing assistants to help get my bridesmaids and family ready, and at a very reasonable hour that morning. Everyone commented on how lovely I looked - glamorous but natural. Would recommend!

Professional, friendly and truly listens – Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of having Louise as my hair and makeup artist for my civil wedding and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and we went ahead to organise a makeup trial.

Louise was punctual on the day, which helped everything run smoothly compared to my Hindu wedding makeup artist who arrived 45 minutes late!

Louise was kind, friendly and easy to chat with, which made the getting-ready process really enjoyable. What I appreciated most was how well she listened to what I wanted—she genuinely cared about bringing my vision to life and did her best to tailor everything to suit me. The final result was exactly what I’d hoped for.

She also styled my mum and sister’s hair, and both were really pleased with how they looked. It was lovely to see everyone feeling confident and comfortable with their hairstyles.

I would absolutely recommend Louise to any future brides and their bridal parties. She’s not only talented but also kind and professional, exactly what you want on such a special day.

Thank you for making me look look and feel good on my big day :)

Wedding hair and make up beyond expectations

I'm so happy to have chosen Louise for my wedding make-up and hair! From the beginning she's been reachable and has answered all my questions, making me feel comfortable. She also gave me good advice to make my bun look amazing.

She was punctual on the day and talked to me all the way through the morning, even helped me with my dress and the flowers. My family was very busy helping with the little ones and she went above and beyond to avoid any stress.

I would recommend Louise 100%. My make up and hair was perfect and stayed until the evening, even after many tears! I was worried my eyes were going to turn black but on the contrary! The make-up stayed and I only had to retouch my lips!

I couldn't have chosen a better make-up and hair artist!

Elegant and glowing on my wedding day (and beyond)

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible makeup and hair services provided by Louise. From the moment she arrived, she brought an infectious energy and professionalism that set the tone for our special day.

I felt absolutely radiant, like Grace Kelly herself! The makeup was flawless and enhanced my features beautifully without feeling heavy. My three daughters looked nothing short of angelic—each style was perfectly tailored to their unique personalities and brought out their natural beauty.

A special shoutout goes to Louise for working her magic on my mother-in-law. Initially hesitant about sitting down for makeup, she transformed beautifully, thanks to Louise’s gentle persuasion and skill. The final look was perfect, and it truly made her feel special among all the commotion with the men rushing around.

Beyond makeup, she went above and beyond. She helped me into my dress and selected the perfect earrings, calming my nerves along the way. Her attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference on such a busy day.

I wholeheartedly recommend Louise to anyone looking for a talented makeup and hair artist. If you want to feel beautiful and confident, she’s the one to call!

Thank you, Louise for making our day unforgettable!

Nothing was too much for Louise!

Louise was calm, professional, fun and so accommodating. She went above and beyond and made us all feel amazing - as did her assistant Mollie.

She was super responsive to messages, clearly loves what she does and I would choose her a hundred times over again. My only wish is that she could get me ready everyday!

Thanks Louise and Mollie, five stars!

Wonderful hair and make up artist

Louise did both my hair and make up for my wedding in October 2024. Throughout the process she was helpful, professional and friendly. I was more than delighted with my hair and make up on the day and she took into account my ideas for the look and was able to adapt it to fit my personal aesthetic. I would thoroughly recommend Louise to any future bride.
