Highly recommend

A big big thank you to Rachel for doing my wedding hair and make up! I've had so many compliments and felt wonderful on the day.

I was a little nervous about it as we couldn't do a trial but Rachel was fabulous and made me feel very relaxed on the morning of the big day. Everyone looked amazing 😍

Thank you again!

Beautiful and romantic wedding hair

Rachel did my hair for my wedding along with hair styling for my bridesmaids and mother. We all looked great while still feeling good - no helmet hair! My trial was really good as Rachel tried a few things and really wanted to get my feedback to ensure I was happy.

Natural glam

Rachel did the hair and makeup for my wedding in April. All three of us wanted to go for a more natural look with a sprinkle of glam. She more than delivered and was super lovely and chatty whilst doing it. 10 out of 10.

Absolutely delighted!

Rachel was amazing and I would highly recommend her. Her easy going, friendly and chatty nature put me right at ease and I felt like we'd known each other for ages. My make up and hair was perfect and I felt beautiful. I had such lovely comments from my guests and I was sad to take my hair down and make up off at the end of the night.

Perfect Hair & Make-up

Rachel was excellent. My hair and make-up was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I loved the natural look she created, which complimented my dress and accessories.

It is clear that Rachel is very experienced in both hair and makeup. I didn’t have a trial and I put my trust in her to create something special and she delivered. She talks through everything she is doing and makes sure you are happy with what she is creating stage by stage and that is very reassuring.

I would thoroughly recommend Rachel. She is such a lovely person to have on board for your wedding.

So pleased with my hair and makeup by Rachel!

I booked Rachel for my bridal hair and makeup for my bridesmaid and I. I was really pleased with the service and end product!
Rachel was flexible, responsive, helpful and very friendly. I was on the fence about booking any hair and make up as I never wear any make up at all day to day and didn't want to look not like myself, however at the trial Rachel listened to my concerns and clearly has a wealth of experience so easily gave me what I was looking for, a natural but enhanced look! Hair was absolutely stunning as well! So pleased I booked her!

10 out of 10

Rachel did the most amazing job with my bridal hair and make up. I didn’t have a very clear idea of what I wanted but Rachel was able to suss it out and the look was absolutely spot on. Super friendly and easy to chat to which made the wedding morning so happy and relaxed. Rachel really knows what she’s doing and gave some really good makeup tips as well as making sure that the look lasted the whole night. Could not have asked for anyone better!!

Perfect in every way

Rachel was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Nailed the fresh, natural look I was after and I could barely feel that I had makeup on. However, despite this the makeup stayed on ALL day throughout tears & a lot of dancing.

Both Rachel and Hannah were great at settling nerves and helping with anything they could, even things not makeup related. I can't thank them both enough and would recommend them to anyone who wants a friendly, down to earth MUA with incredible skill.
