Beautiful make up and hair for us all

Rachel was great in the bridal trial, and also happily did an extra one for a bridesmaid with sensitive skin.
Hair and makeup was natural on the day and what we asked for.
Friendly and professional service.

Simply the best

If you are looking for a professional make up and hair artist for any event , do not hesitate to book Rachel. If you want a perfectionist who has an amazing eye to detail then Rachel is your lady. She was an utmost professional from the moment I spoke to her. She made everyone feel so comfortable on the day and so her ideas were so BEAUTIFUL. She was warm, friendly and just so lovely to my family. I can’t thank her enough for making a very nervous bridal party feel so at ease. Our hair and makeup lasted the whole evening including being wind washed at the beach.
I can not thank her enough for making us all
Feel special and beautiful. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone.

Brilliant Service!

I was nervous to have my Make Up done as I do not really wear any on a day to day basis and I wanted to feel like me on my wedding day.
Rachel did a beautiful and natural Make Up and felt totally comfortable and confident.
Rachel and her assistant also did a great job with my 5 bridesmaids.
I highly recommend.

Excellent!

I put out a request on Hitched and Rachel got in touch with me straight away. Rachel was very helpful and friendly and professional and gave me her opinion on my hair and makeup choices for my wedding. I used Rachel for my hair and makeup and also my bridesmaids too and we were all so pleased with the results. I would not hesitate in recommending Rachel to friends and family.

I contacted Rachel after finding her profile on Hitched and got quick response. Rachel is very accommodating and gave suggestions on what's best for me taking into account what I wanted. I was really happy with the result and got lots of compliments. Definitely would recommend Rachel for those who want natural and elegant make up.
