An amazing experience!!

I cannot speak any more higher for Madalina and recommend her to any bride!! I’m quite an anxious individual when it comes to anything meeting new people and she just put myself and my bridal party at ease. She listened and was so attentive, she understood my vision immediately and was so complimentary which gave me a confidence boosting the morning of. Communication throughout was fantastic and I was so so lucky to have found her. Had many compliments through the day, makeup held through tears and the dance floor. Would jump at the chance to book her!!

Fantastic hair and makeup artist, can’t recommend highly enough!

Madalina was fantastic at every point! Very responsive communication on enquiry, easy to book a trial with. My wedding day hair and makeup were exactly as I requested and lasted the whole day, even in 38 degree heat! Madalina was professional and kind and couldn’t have done a better job! Highly recommend to all London brides.

Madalina is brilliant!

Couldn’t recommend Madalina more if you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist for your wedding day!

I felt so at ease with Madalina from the first trial and could easily feedback on any slight changes I wanted and she’s more than happy to take this on board and also make suggestions that work for your hair type.

I was absolutely thrilled with my hair and makeup on my wedding day, it was exactly what I wanted to feel comfortable. My bridesmaids and Mum were also thrilled with their hair and make up and all got compliments all day.

Thank you so much Madalina!

Wonderful make up, lovely person

From the very first message Madalina was super responsive, easy to work with and flexible. She gave us such a lovely experience on the day and in the lead up. She replies so quickly and is happy to answer all questions. She also travelled to my house for both the trial and the day itself, which made life very easy. It was lovely having her on the big day as she is a funny, kind, calming presence - perfect for pre-wedding nerves. And perhaps most importantly, she did a gorgeous job on our hair and makeup! We had done a trial which was good, and gave me a chance to see what I liked on myself. When the big day came, I asked for some changes which she handled effortlessly and the end look was exactly what I wanted. She did my Maid of Honor as well, and make her look stunning! I would definitely use Madalina again, and I absolutely would recommend her! Thank you so much Madalina!!

Amazing stylist gave me the wedding hair of my dreams!

Madalina was my hairstylist for my wedding this summer; she got the vision straight away during our trial session. The hair was perfect, so we knew exactly what we were doing for the big day. Which is so helpful, as it's one less thing to worry about when you know you are in such safe and talented hands.

My hair looked the best it's ever looked. I need an excuse to have my hair like this done again, and i would definitely go back to Madalina!

Madalina was so friendly and knowledgeable and totally put my mind and ease and kept me relaxed (which you really need the morning of your wedding. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again at some point.

Thank you so so much for bringing my vison to life 💕

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 🥰

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!

Madalina is a great makeup artist, I was really happy with how I looked on the day and how the makeup lasted. In the trial and on the day she was always checking in, providing options and responsive to feedback.

Owner / Hair & Makeup Artist

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!
