Outstanding experience from start to finish

Rachel was an absolute delight and such a pleasure to have her involved in our wedding.

She was incredibly professional and communicated outstandingly well in the build up to the wedding, ensuring that the bridal party had all the information that they needed to make the most of the morning in the chair with her.

Rachel did both hair and make up and the results were amazing. Everyone who was prepared by her were delighted with the results and just how well they lasted all day!

Would 100% recommend! Thank you for helping to make my, and my family's day so special.

Amazingg weddin hair and makeup artist

Rachel was fantastic as the hair and makeup artist for my wedding! I really wanted someone who could do both hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids and Rachel is truly talented at both. She was super responsive from the very first messages, really helpful in organising the trial, and a lovely presence on the wedding day itself. She really listened to what I wanted, making adjustments to my makeup when I thought it was a bit too much (I wanted a very natural look), and making helpful suggestions for hair styles and accessories. On the day itself, she was such a lovely, calm presence, which helped keep everyone else calm, despite a power cut in the middle of doing everyone's hair, and a last minute hair adjustment! I loved my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids all looked amazing as well (thanks also to Katie, the assistant that came with Rachel on the day). I would highly recommend working with her!

Wonderful experience

After another make up artist let me down a few months before our wedding, Rachel turned what had been stressful into a wonderful experience. After just our first phone call, I felt so reassured and that I was in very good hands. I felt so relaxed during the trial- Rachel has a very calming and friendly presence.

On the day Rachel and her assistant did bridesmaids' hair and make up smoothly and helped create a warm atmosphere. My mum said the eye shadow colour was exactly the shade she would have chosen for herself and the younger bridesmaids looked beautifully fresh and natural.

My make up lasted so well through the day and I loved my lashes! I felt so comfortable and like myself too. Thank you :)
