    Thank you so much Charley!

    Charley was so amazing to have around the morning of our wedding. Not only was her makeup and hair on myself and my maid of honour stunning but she was such a lovely calming presence which is so appreciated! She was on hand when a dress malfunction meant my makeup smudged and fixed it immediately. Thank you so much Charley, forever grateful!

    Best wedding hair ever 😀

    Charlie and her team were amazing. I love how accepting and helpful she was at my lack of hair and make up knowledge and how it wasn’t a big deal that being touched is not for me. My wedding morning was super chilled and everyone was really happy with their individual styles. 100% would recommend Charlie if you want a stress free morning and beautiful hair.

    Charley is the best!

    I could never have imagined the morning of my wedding without the calm, steady influence of this wonderful woman! Charley, thank you for taking the time to understand what I wanted, for being able to pivot when my mom changed her mind about her hairstyle halfway through, and for making me feel beyond beautiful for the most important day of my life. Your attention to detail, patience and advice were invaluable.. and the quality of your products meant I felt at my best the whole day! Thank you for everything! To those reading - Charley was wonderful and you won't regret working with her. She came all the way into London to do my trial, she's genuinely a delightful presence without pretending to be your 'new best friend' and she's good at her job! You'll be happy.

    Thank you, Charley!! Highly recommend

    I want to say a huge huge huge thank you to Charley for everything she did on my Wedding day a few months ago. She is so talented and made all of us look and (just as importantly) feel so beautiful!

    All my bridesmaids seemed absolutely thrilled with their hair and make up and genuinely everyone just glowed! A few of us don't tend to wear makeup and Charley just completely understood exactly what everyone had in mind and the execution was absolutely stunning!

    Her talents didn't stick to the hair and make up - Charley made us all feel so relaxed and so easy to talk you! Charley - for me in particular I had a little moment looking into the pouring rain (I hope forgivable that it was weather based) and you were just so calm and I completely appreciated that and then felt so much better! Charley also helped the photographer take some lovely photos (and when he was gone she took even better photos and calmed us down after he stressed us out!)

    Even on my make up trial you were so lovely to chat to and gave me some excellent advice for the morning (like giving bridesmaids tasks eg keep room tidy, music, vibes, make sure bride is always watered etc) and this made me knew I was booking the right Hair and Make Up Artist.

    Thank you again, Charley! I would recommend you to everyone!

    Highly recommend - the best in the business

    Charley was absolutely incredible! She made me feel like the best version of myself on such an important day. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she was also such a calming and lovely presence to have with me while getting ready in the morning. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the whole experience even more special. I can't recommend Charley enough - she truly went above and beyond!

    Amazing bridal makeup

    I was recently part of a bridal party that Charley and her team looked after. Absolutely loved the makeup! I highly recommend.

    Best bridal makeup in Oxfordshire!

    I cannot recommend Charley enough. 10/10. I found her on Instagram and loved what I saw, and when we met and talked through what I was looking for she 100% understood and delivered on that. She was very collaborative, listened to all my fears and together we created the perfect, stress free look that lasted all day and night. My bridal party loved her too. Everyone looked incredible.

    Her products are very high end, Charlotte Tilbury, Nars etc. So you've got beautiful products going on your face. Her energy is very calming and kind. There was no judgement. Just kind, helpful, professional make up artist who wants you to have the best day ever.

    A lovely lady who made me feel so good for my big day!

    Charley was wonderful! So accommodating, calm and warm. She worked around my early timings, juggled the morning expertly and remained steady throughout the whole process. I couldn't have a trial so Charley spent extra time with me talking about what I wanted and making sure that we were on the same page. She was so kind to the whole bridal party and even helped me with my dress as my mum and bridesmaids had to leave early! Amazing value for an amazing service. Thank you Charley

    Charley was just effortlessly lovely from start to finish. I absolutely loved my bridal look and felt my best all day! My mum had her make-up done too and loved the look she built on the wedding morning. Charley is so warm and friendly, I knew I’d made the right choice from the moment I met her at my trial xx

    Wonderful service and experience

    Charley is a kind, talented and professional stylist who made me look and feel beautiful on my day. I came away from my trial a bit nervous as I completely changed my mind!! But on the day, she nailed it and my bridesmaid were thrilled with their hair and make-up also. My hair and make-up stayed put, despite tears and tissue dabbing, and looked absolutely polished right up until the very end of the night. She and her team were very adaptable to the getting ready space and the whole morning felt calm and under control. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
