Madalina Elena

I felt like I really struggled to find a hair and make-up artist and something about Madalina-Elena’s profile drew me in and IM SO GLAD. From the trial through to the wedding day she was so lovely, communicative and supportive. I’m not great with make-up and she took my garbled requests for what I thought I wanted and turned me into a masterpiece whilst being a lovely source of calm on the morning. And the final thing is that somehow both the hair and make-up managed to survive the hottest day of the year and a seriously above average amount of (happy) tears until the next morning as I forgot to take it off before bed.
She’s truly wonderful and was an integral part of our day.
Thank you so much 🫶🏼

Highly recommended 🥰

I booked Madalina for a wedding trial then for my big day. I was impressed from the beginning with Madalina’s responsiveness and professionalism. I was quite apprehensive about getting my hair and make up done and wanted a natural but elevated look. Madalina understood the brief perfectly and put me at ease during the trial and on my wedding day, which is so important when emotions can be running high. I was delighted with the final result and could not have asked for any more!! I got so many compliments and felt amazing. Thank you so much Madalina for being a big part of my wedding and I would strongly recommend to any bride to be 🥰

So glad I chose Magdalena!

I cannot recommend her enough! She’s such a hype woman and makes everyone feel like a star. My bridesmaids and I were so happy and we all looked stunning. She made the day feel so special and handled my nerves with such care! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Incredible!

Madalina you are amazing!! Thank you 10000x for making me feel so special and pretty on my wedding day! I felt like a real princess and my hair and makeup was so perfect it gave me so much confidence during the day! Madalina captured what I wanted so perfectly! Focusing on my eyes but not making me look all dolled up with lots of make up - as natural as possible! Which is exactly how I wanted it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An amazing experience!

Where to start from? Madalina professionality's is beyond comparision. She listened carefully about my ideas on make up and hair style and she guided me with knowledge to find the perfect style for my wedding. Every single step of the make up/hairstyle has been explained to put me at ease and that really helped in a stressful day like your wedding!. Madalina was patient with my mother who doesn't speak english and still, she was completely satisfied with the result. She was flexible about some last minute changes and always friendly and smiling under pressure of passing time. Yes, I definitely reccomend Madalina without any doubt!.

Couldn’t have asked for better 💕

Madalina is an absolute gem! She created the most gorgeous bridal look for me, based on references I previously shared with her. I received so many compliments throughout the day! Even after I teared up at some point during the ceremony, my makeup stayed flawless!! She was so kind, professional and such a calming presence to have around on the morning of the wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist.. truly a star! 💫💖

Wedding hair and make up

I had chosen Madalina for my bridal hair and make up. I can't recommend her enough. She listened to what I wanted and gave advice when I didn't know what to go for. She is truly talented, professional and very friendly. My mum and sister-in-law had their hair and make up done by her as well and there were very happy and impressed with the results.

A truly talented artist

I honestly couldn't have wished for a more perfect person to do my wedding hair and makeup! Madalina totally understood what I wanted to achieve and took great care to make sure I was happy at every stage of the process. From the moment we met at my trial I knew I was in safe hands. Madalina is not only an incredibly professional and talented artist but is also such a warm and kind person who made me feel instantly comfortable. She takes great pride in her work and I really felt like she cared about making me look and feel special on my wedding day. I had such wonderful comments from our guests about the look that she created and I was so impressed by the way she was able to make me feel so glamorous whilst also creating a look that suited me and my character. I will certainly be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Nothing was too much trouble 😊

Madalina was so friendly, punctual and the makeup and hair was spot on. Her technique is fantastic and was very patient and helpful as I figured out what look I was going for. She was a calming delight and presence on the big day and very helpful. Hope I have a reason to book her again in the future ♥️

Wedding make up

Madalina was absolutely fantastic. My hair and make up looked perfect - exactly as I'd wanted. She was able to deal with make up allergies which was so helpful. She was always on time and very professional, making sure that the whole morning ran to time. My trial before was really helpful and a great experience. I'd recommend Madalina to everyone!

Truly a magician

Madalina was an absolute dream from start to finish! She was so responsive, easy to talk to, and just got what I was going for from the start.
She listened to everything I wanted and made me feel totally at ease, even on the morning of the wedding when the nerves kicked in.
It was a really hot day and sunny day but my and my bridesmaids' makeup stayed perfectly fresh the whole day and even the next morning (I was too tired to wipe it off after the wedding, oops).
Beyond being incredibly talented, she’s such a fun and calming presence—like having your glam bestie there with you.
Couldn’t recommend her more for any bride who wants to feel like the best version of themselves and enjoy every moment of the process. 💕

Wonderful Makeup and Hair - Highly Recommended!

Madalina did my makeup and hair for my wedding last month (June), and I truly can’t recommend her highly enough! From our trial to the big day itself, she was not only professional and incredibly talented, but also brought such a warm, calming, and fun energy to the experience.

I had a specific makeup look in mind, which was a glowy, fresh look with rosy/peachy tones, and modern, soft waves for my hair, in which I put into a moodboard and shared with her in advance. During the trial, we carefully went through everything together, and it really showed that she took the time to understand the moodboard and what I wanted. She really, really understood what suited my skin tone and features (especially my eyes 🥰, with the eyeliner), and she absolutely nailed the foundation shade and the eye makeup!

On the wedding day, Madalina brought that same thoughtful approach. She recreated the look exactly as discussed, and it seriously all came together even better than I imagined! It was perfect and looked so beautiful in both natural light and photos. I felt so elegant, radiant, and still very “me”!

Madalina is incredibly easy to work with. She’s responsive, kind, and flexible. She made the entire process smooth and joyful, even though I’m super sensitive with my eyes! Even my now-husband said it looked like we had a very fun time getting ready, and he was right!

I’m very happy that Madalina did my makeup and hair, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future events. Thank you, and see you again!

Fantastic Hair and Makeup

I cannot recommend Madalina enough for any special occasions. She was so lovely, making sure everyone was comfortable and ensuring everyone's personality was reflected in their styles.

We had Madalina do hair and makeup for our wedding in May. She did 5 hair and 5 makeups and every single one was absolutely beautiful and lasted the whole night (withstanding lots of dancing in a very warm venue!)

Madalina's passion and excitement for her work was infectious and she always made sure everyone was happy at every step.

Thank you so much Madalina for being part of our special day!

Hello beautiful bride-to-be!

I’ve been a bridal hair and makeup artist since 2017, based in Wimbledon, London and available for travel.

My style is all about enhancing your natural features so you feel confident, radiant, and completely you on your special day. I take time to really understand your brief, your personality, and the vibe you’re going for—whether it’s soft and romantic, modern and polished, or something totally unique.

I believe your bridal look should feel timeless, effortless, and true to who you are. I offer trials to help bring your vision to life in advance, and I’m always happy to travel for weddings and destination events.

Fun fact: I fell in love with bridal beauty the first time I helped a friend get ready for her wedding—and I’ve been hooked ever since!

Let's create something beautiful together!
