Absolutely incredible!!

Fi was incredible throughout my whole wedding planning process and on the wedding day! She really listened to what I wanted, she was professional, comforting and friendly. The wedding morning was so much fun with Fi as part of it - she made everyone feel so at ease and set the tone for the day ahead. The hair and makeup held up so incredibly well, despite drizzly weather on our wedding day. I cant thank her enough!!

Fabulous and professional

Fi was incredible, made me feel so calm and beautiful and also was a great help on the morning of and did my daughter's first full face of make up so well I would recommend her to anyone and don't think I'll ever feel that pretty again 😂

Amazing make-up & hair

Fi did the hair and make-up for my wedding in February 2024 and she was amazing. Aside from styling us beautifully, Fi was lovely to be around and just gives off relaxed vibes. Our hair and makeup looked amazing and lasted all day - even until the next day in some cases!
Booking was easy and my trial (a few months before the wedding) was very useful. Fi listened to what I wanted and was very receptive to changing or tweaking anything. It meant that one the wedding day she was ready to roll and understood exactly what I wanted, so less stress for me!

I would 100% recommend Fi - thank you for doing such a great job! :)

Such a lovely person

Fiona did an amazing job with my daughter and I for my wedding day. She did both our hair and make-up. Fi slotted in perfectly and was helping out right until we had to leave. Lovely lady, a pleasure to have at such a special time.

Fi was fantastic!

Fi was wonderful - I’ve never had my make-up or hair done by a professional and Fi put my mind at rest from day one. Very approachable, professional and sensitive to mine and my family’s needs.
My favourite moment on the big day was seeing how happy my mum was with her make-up, and especially her eyebrows - mum had lost about 80% of her hair and said she’d never felt so good - which was solely down to Fi! Mum looked phenomenal!
Fi’s calm nature was just what I needed on the big day - I’ll never look so good again!
Thank you Fi! Xxx

Fi is just awesome! Can't recommend her enough for naturally curly hair and make-up.

Fi is so calm and friendly that she instantly puts you at ease and made the morning of the wedding fun and chilled, it was the perfect start to the day. I didn't have bridesmaids so it was just me and my mum to get ready but I really felt like Fi was part of the family. We both have sensitive skin and Fi really listened to us both to ensure that the products were fine, she uses top quality make up and neither of us had any issues.
I went for a trial with my crown a few months before the wedding and I'm not a big make up wearer and have bob length naturally curly hair. I just assumed I'd be wearing my hair down but Fi gave me 3 different options to consider and I ultimately ended up wearing it up. Fi took photos and videos in the session so I could see a before and after of the make up and a full 360 of my hair options. This was so useful to refer back to closer to the wedding and helped me settle on a style.
I can't recommend Fi enough and both me and my mum still tell people about how amazing she was now!

Fi is absolutely incredible!

Hair and makeup was something I was nervous about, but Fi made the process so amazing. She was so easy to speak to, and we would end up chatting for hours. She made me feel so beautiful, couldn't have picked a better artist for my day. To top it all off, she used all vegan make up for me!

Beautiful hair and make up

Fi was amazing! I would absolutely recommend her if you are getting married and wanting beautiful hair and great make up!

Myself and my bridesmaids dont wear lots of make up usually but Fi managed to get the natural look spot on! Everybody's hair and make up lasted all day and the experience getting ready in the morning was also fab!

Fi was great in every aspect - i changed my mind regarding trials and who wanted what multiple times and Fi was super accommodating to every request I had.

Honestly could not be happier with the service Fi provided! 100% would recommend!

Utterly wonderful

Fi was absolutely amazing in every way possible! Fimade me feel so at ease, so comfortable. I felt so beautiful and my hair and make up didn’t move or smudge. The morning of my wedding, it was like having a best friend in the room with me. Fi knew when I needed to be emotional or when I needed some tough love. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Choosing Fi for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made in my entire wedding planning process.

Absolutely fantastic!!

I hired Fi for hair + makeup for myself, my mum, and four bridesmaids for our wedding 30/7/2022. She is absolutely incredible! Such a lovely person who is super easy to get on with and the hair/makeup she and her assistant did was exactly what we wanted. If I were to do my wedding again I would book her in a heartbeat!

Outstanding

Fi went above and beyond for us, after she did such an outstanding job for my sister’s wedding, there was simply no one else that would do, so we asked her to do mine too and of course we didn’t regret the decision. With my 4 bridesmaids too, my wedding was a big job, but Fi is very adaptable and dependable, kind and reassuring. Her assistant Charlotte was fabulous too. Very reasonably priced. Very very happy customer, 100% recommend!

Amazing, attentive and kind

Fi was an amazing lady to have around on my wedding day from start to finish! She lightened the mood with her humour and calm presence and her hair and make up skills are impeccable!
I wanted a natural look ensuring that I still looked like me on the day, and Fi was able to do just that with clever make up.
She was attentive and kind and even stayed beyond her time to assist with a last minute panic sewing job as my bridesmaid had a slight issue with her dress!
I’d contact Fi again in a heartbeat, she was worth her weight in gold!

Utter Perfection

Fi was the most amazing hair and makeup artist I have ever had the pleasure to work with! From the trial to my big day, she was fabulous and an absolute blast! I have never felt so beautiful in all my life with such a simple makeup look and beautiful hair to match! Both my mom and MIL also loved their hair and makeup, we all cannot sing your praises enough for your hard work and utter perfection, thank you Fi!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Having the trial was super helpful as we made some tweaks on the wedding day to what I’d thought I wanted but didn’t end up liking, so wedding day hair and makeup was absolutely perfect. Fi was calm, professional and chatty on the day which was helpful during the chaos of getting everything ready on time, including managing to wrangle a five year old to have her hair done. Bridesmaids looked great too, and makeup lasted all the way to midnight without really needing a touch up!
