Don't Hesitate & Lock Maddy In!

I honestly could not recommend Maddy enough. From start to finish, she was such a calm, kind and reassuring presence, and having her there on the morning of my wedding made such a difference.

Most importantly, Maddy made me feel the best I've ever felt in my life. She completely understood the look I was hoping for and somehow made it even better than I'd imagined. I felt beautiful and confident, but still completely like myself, which was exactly what I wanted from my wedding hair and makeup.

Beyond being incredibly talented, Maddy is warm, professional and exactly the sort of person you want around you on your wedding morning. She created such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and really helped set the tone for the day.

I'm so grateful that I found Maddy and that she was part of such a special morning. An absolute talent and someone I would wholeheartedly recommend to any bride.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Maddy and Tara enough! 🤍

From the moment they arrived on the morning of our wedding, they were absolutely amazing. They made myself, my bridesmaids and my mum look and feel phenomenal. I genuinely never thought I could look the way I did on my wedding day, but they somehow made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself and my husband hasn’t stopped talking about how beautiful I looked since!

Every single one of the girls felt gorgeous and completely themselves, which was so important to me. Not only are Maddy and Tara incredibly talented at what they do, but they were such a lovely part of our wedding morning. They were kind, gentle, supportive and so calm, and it genuinely felt like we were getting ready amongst friends.

I’ll always be so grateful to them both for making me feel so special and confident on one of the biggest days of my life. Thank you both so, so much, I couldn’t have asked for better people to have there with us. 🤍

A wonderful experience

Maddy is just lovely. She is really easy to build a rapport with and is really easy going. Her make up style is very flexible and she really listens to your feedback. The quality of her kit is amazing with so many gorgeous brands of make up. She made me feel really, really beautiful on my special day.

Hair & Makeup

What can I say, absolutely amazing service from Maddy. From doing my mum and myself hair trial, to helping me buy the right hair extensions and doing our hair and makeup on my wedding day. She put us at such ease, and is such a lovely person. Would highly recommend!

Everything I hoped for

Maddy did my make up and hair for my son's wedding, and I could not have been happier. The whole process from initial enquiry, through the trial to the wedding day was handled professionally and efficiently. Maddy listened to all my suggestions and I received many complements on my hair and make up on the day. Would highly recommend

Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Maddy enough! I’ve never felt so confident - she made me feel calm, comfortable, and truly beautiful from start to finish. I had so many compliments throughout the day, and my hair and makeup stayed absolutely flawless the entire time. Maddy’s calm energy and flexibility made everything run smoothly, even in the middle of all the wedding day chaos. She blended in so naturally with my friends and family, making the whole morning feel relaxed and joyful. I’m so grateful to have had her as part of the day - thank you, Maddy!

Gorgeous Natural Finish for a Sunny Spring Day

Maddy was wonderful. We had a trial back in February (for a May wedding) and she gave me her time, trialling a Hollywood wave and natural tones make up. I then between trial and wedding day had changed my mind on hair style (half up half down) and make up coverage (v light and natural) due to weather predicted and wearing a veil. Maddy was incredibly understanding and put my mind at ease with her recommendations and advice. Maddy arrived promptly on the day, was incredibly professional and did my Mum's hair and make up, my hair and make up and my sister's hair. All ready in plenty of time of the ceremony, was very patient and everyone was so complimentary of our hair and make up, lasting into the night (even in 23+ degrees weather). A huge thank you to Maddy for making me (and my mum/sister) feel so great and confident on my special day. 100% recommend

Wedding hair and makeup that felt like me

Maddy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! From the trial to the big day, she made me feel so comfortable and listened to exactly what I wanted. She created a beautiful makeup and hair look that lasted all day even through dancing, hugs, and confetti chaos! I felt so confident and like the best version of myself. I’d recommend Maddy to anyone looking for a calm, talented, and truly lovely artist to have by your side on your wedding day.

Couldn't wish for better

Maddy was incredible and I couldn't recommend her enough! As a bride worried about sensitive skin and not wearing too much makeup but feeling some coverage, Maddy was so patient and understanding and created the perfect finish. She also helped me decide on how to style my hair, and combined several concepts into her own unique style that was perfect for me and my dress. I really enjoyed spending time with Maddy during my trial and the morning of the wedding, and she did a brilliant job of my hair and makeup and Mother of the Bride hair and makeup. Thank you Maddy for being part of our day!

Fantastic experience with hair and makeup!

I cannot recommend Maddy Johnson Hair & Makeup enough. Maddy is enormously talented as well as being prompt, professional and experienced. I had pretty decided ideas on my hair and makeup, and Maddy took the images I showed her and improved upon them, which I'd never have expected! The hairstyle was SO elegant but also really simple--not fiddly. I hate fiddly or fussy and it was perfect. My makeup was beautiful and subtle (with a little drama to the eyes) but it lasted the entire day without a problem. I spent the day being compared to Audrey Hepburn, which is pretty much beyond amazing. Also, Maddy is great to hang out and chat with while getting ready--another big plus! Recommend 100%
