Relaxed and talented MUA

Nandi was absolutely brilliant. I was a little nervous for the make up trial due to a skin flare up. Nandi put me at ease immediately, was super calm and kind, chatted away and really listened to my concerns and what I wanted accentuated.

She was exactly the same on the wedding day. All of my bridemaids, mum and MIL were thrilled with their make up too. The make up held all day, for everyone. Nandi is very amazing at what she does, has a lovely manner, is warm and positive. I would absolutely recommend her!

Nandi offered to stay later for touch ups, even when we ran over a bit, which was very kind of her and an example of her going above and beyond. She was a dream! Book her!!

Amazing from start to finish

I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day and this is largely down to Nandi and her craft. From the moment I made contact Nandi was a true professional, but also like a friend I’d known for ages - she has an innate ability to make you feel calm and at ease (exactly what you need on your wedding morning!).

Nothing is too much for Nandi, and you can tell she takes great pride in her work. She listened to exactly what I wanted from my hair and makeup - she made me feel completely comfortable to ask for things to be tweaked. Nandi also did my mum’s makeup - mum had never had her makeup done before and was so excited, and Nandi made her feel so special.

Nandi helped me feel so confident and happy on my wedding day, and was such a calming presence while we were getting ready. She’s also incredible value for money. Booking Nandi was one of the best wedding decisions I made and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Nandi was THE BEST of the best!

I hired Nandi and her team for my wedding in April having got in touch 10 months or so prior. Whilst I didn't have much of a clue about makeup I knew I wanted a soft glam on the day with a real emphasis on natural glowing skin. Nandi delivered this in spades. Particularly where I had struggled to find other MUAs in the South West that had clear experience from their portfolio that they had dealt with different skin tones and styles.

Nandi is honestly the nicest person, from our first conversations she put me at ease, was totally professional but never stuffy, guided me through the process (having never booked an HMUA before), was clear about pricing and was always so lovely on email.

I did a trial with Nandi which was the best morning, super relaxed, getting to know me and understand the vibe I was after. We experimented a few things that really cemented what I did and didn't want on the day.

On the day itself, Nandi and Sjani turned up at the crack of dawn as planned and put all of my bridal party at ease. I had a minor allergic reaction and my skin flared up before I had had my bridal make up done. Nandi was cool, calm and kept me relaxed, I was really grateful for her foresight of building buffer into the timings for anything unexpected! We altered the schedule to leave my make up until last to give my skin the best chance of recovering. After the panic of being red and blotchy an hour before Nandi worked wonders, I looked and felt so gorgeous and no redness in sight!

Thank you Nandi for being an absolute superstar on my special day, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for the real deal! Her kit was great too!!

An Experience to remember

I booked my self mother of the groom with Nandi. I knew i was in good hands when i saw her website. As a creative individual i wanted a make up look that would bring my curated outfit together. I needed someone that could give a sophisticated but creative look. I loved the trial experience at my house so much so i could play with the outfit and tested make up. It was so fun i booked my daughter the sister of the groom in for a trial too. Nandi is so calm so accommodating. All her experience means you have an amazing make up look but also a calm experience which is so needed within a busy wedding weekend. We cant thank Nandi enough.

Perfection ✨

Nandi was absolutely incredible, so accommodating and attentive to every need and concern we had.

Nandi did the hair and makeup for both me and my mam for my wedding in October 2025. After falling in love with Nandi’s portfolio, we only had our trial two days before the big day, but she came fully prepared and immediately put us at ease.

My mam has thick, curly hair and sensitive, textured skin, while I have very straight hair, combination skin, and rarely wear makeup. Nandi really took the time to listen to both of us and tailored everything perfectly. She enhanced our natural features beautifully, making us feel confident, comfortable, and truly ourselves. Every detail was personalised, from individual lashes for my mum to keeping things minimal for me with just waterproof mascara.
At no point did we feel rushed or under pressure. The trial was such a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Nandi came to us, made thoughtful adjustments, and kept detailed notes ahead of the wedding day.

On the day itself, everything was seamless. Nandi was punctual, calm, and incredibly professional. Our hair and makeup lasted all day - even through a trip to the beach, a cold dip, hours of dancing, and ending the night by the fire!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Nandi more highly. She exceeded all expectations, and I’m so grateful she was part of our special day.

Nandi Kai - December Bride at The Green Cornwall

I couldn’t recommend Nandi highly enough. From the trial to the wedding morning, she was absolutely amazing. She listened so carefully, offered expert advice, and made me feel completely at ease. She is incredibly professional and talented, as well as being so calm, kind, and genuinely lovely to have around on the day. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup, which lasted perfectly all day and night, and my bridesmaids were just as happy — they both loved their looks and felt amazing. Nandi helped create such a relaxed and enjoyable wedding morning, and I’m so grateful she was part of our day.

Wedding Hair and Make Up Review

Nandi was so perfect! On both the trial and the wedding day, Nandi was the loveliest energy and made me feel totally at ease. She completely understood the brief for both my hair and make up and I felt and looked better than I could have imagined :) her and the team were so great for my mum and bridesmaids also. Definitely would recommend Nandi :)

Absolutely perfect!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my wedding day, it was perfect!! Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care were clear from the beginning. She was always quick to respond to any requests during the lead up. On the day, Nandi created such a calm, warm, and fun environment for me and my bridal party as we got ready. She listened to everyone’s requests and made sure each of us felt confident and comfortable. Our hair and makeup turned out beautifully.

Nandi is not only incredibly talented, but also such a kind and calming person, exactly what you need on the big day. I’m so grateful she was part of ours.

Bridal and bridesmaid makeup and hair

Nandi is brilliant at wedding hair and makeup! She did my bridal makeup, and also two bridesmaid makeup and hair and also mother of the bride makeup!

She listened to what we each wanted and the makeup was beautiful and easily stayed on all day! We each had many compliments!

Nandi also is very calm and comfortable, which was lovely on the wedding day which can feel hectic!

Would definitely recommend Nandi for weddings!

The best bridal make up experience ❤️

Nandi was a joy to have do the makeup for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, mother of groom and mother of bride. We had an early start and Nandi was set up and ready to go with plenty of time, and everything went perfectly to the schedule. She was a wonderful calming presence to settle any nerves and she was just so lovely to everyone all morning.
I absolutely loved my make up and felt incredible all day, it was perfect and lasted all day and all through the dancing! The bridesmaids and mums were delighted with their looks too.
I can only say thank you so so much Nandi, we loved having you be part of our day. Highly highly recommend, she's the best x

Brilliant!

I used Nandi’s services for my bridal hair & make up, that of my two bridesmaids plus a trial for myself. Nandi made the whole experience really comfortable, we were chatting and laughing within minutes of meeting. I felt I could say I did or didn’t like something & the end result was fabulous! I’ve got really fine hair but my hairstyle stayed together all day, looking really natural. I also found Nandi to be cheaper than having separate people for hair & make up - book her, you won’t be disappointed.

100% recommend

Having Nandi to do my hair and makeup on the morning of my wedding meant I was so relaxed and calm. My hair and makeup was beautiful! Nandi was responsive to messages in the lead up and happy to make changes to plans when I changed my mind. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any bride who wants to feel gorgeous and have a calm presence on the morning of the wedding.

Perfect natural makeup

I chose Nandi for my bridal make up as I love the natural looks she created on other brides. My makeup was natural but flawless and it lasted all day (it was a warm day in July). I had a makeup trial before the wedding and explained I was having issues with allergic reactions to cosmetics. Nandi understood my concerns. I couldn’t recommend Nandi enough she is very talented makeup artist that listens to what you want and is a lovely lady.
