    Frances is excellent at her job, reasonably priced & incredibly personable

    Frances did the makeup and hair for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding in July. She was not just excellent at her job and reasonably priced, but also incredibly personable.
    Frances' style is more natural than most bridal makeup, focusing on highlighting your best features without overwhelming you with makeup. Her warm and friendly nature made us all feel comfortable and at ease, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for their hair and makeup done.

    Beautiful natural wedding make up and hair

    I am so glad I found Fran to do my hair and make up for my wedding day. From the trial to the wedding day, it was easy to communicate with and arrange times. I had quite a few bridesmaids etc. that wanted their hair and/or make up done and timings were perfect for a stress free wedding morning. Fran enlisted another artist, Helen, to help, who was also fantastic. During the wedding morning, Fran made everyone feel at ease and was professional but also fun. Myself and my bridal party had such a wonderful morning and Fran helped make it even better. My make up was flawless; impeccable colour match, not cake-y or dry in any way. I felt confident that no matter what Fran did, it would be beautiful, which is what I felt. My hair was also done simply and beautifully, which is exactly what I had wished for. Both stayed looking perfect, even after being on a blustery beach for pictures! Right up until we had to travel to the venue, Fran stayed and helped with final touch ups, even to helping me fasten my shoes! If you need a make up artist for your wedding Fran is the perfect choice.

    Would 100% use again - thank you Fran!

    Fran was such a pleasure to have as the hair and make up artist for our wedding and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Fran has such a lovely relaxed presence, she makes you feel really comfortable and is super attentive to what you want. I really enjoyed the trial which was a great way to get to know Fran, and she was a lovely calming presence for getting ready on our wedding day. She was super organised and brilliant at planning the timing schedule for hair and make up for myself, my mum and my bridesmaid meaning we arrived at the ceremony well on time! Our hair and make up was perfect, to be honest I looked better than I could have imagined and hair and make up stayed intact all day :) I would 100% use Fran's services again, she is super skilled and all round lovely - thank you so much Fran x

    Couldn't be happier!

    Fran did such an amazing job! I felt special but still looked like myself which was so important to me. Everything she did was natural and enhanced what I already have, and was exactly what I wanted. Love love love Fran, her presence getting ready was really helpful in keeping me calm and relaxed the morning of. Couldnt be happier with her!

    Thank you Fran!

    Fran did my hair and make up for my wedding and my bridal parties make up. Fran is so easy going, talented and professional. My family all loved her and she was a joy to have around on the day. Everyone looked amazing and I loved my hair and makeup. The time wizzed by in the end and I didn’t have time to properly thank Fran, so thank you so much!

    Fran is incredible!

    I cannot recommend Fran enough! As someone that didn't want the "traditional" bride look or full glam Fran's experience in fashion/editorial jumped out at me.

    From the moment I arrived at the consultation, Fran totally got me and my style/vibe. My hair and makeup on the wedding day made me feel me (but better!), it lasted all day and night (we partied hard), and looked absolutely beautiful in all our photos. Fran also did my two sisters and mum's makeup for the wedding (so a range of ages/styles), and again totally got them..everyone literally glowed!

    Fran's work is stunning, she made everyone feel at ease and was simply lovely to have part of our big day.

    Talented and professional- loved her!

    Fran did an amazing job doing my hair and makeup on the day as well as my bridesmaids. I loved the hair but I was absolutely blown away by her skill with makeup. She knew exactly how to flatter my features so that I was looking like the best version of myself, and kept things looking very natural which is exactly what I had asked for.
    The best part for me was the trial run- Fran took so much time to help me find a hair style I loved- it was really valuable for me that we could try out so many variations.
    In addition to her talent, Fran was lovely to work with throughout the process- organised, flexible, and kind… I highly recommend her.

    A Bride's Dream

    In a world of huge brows, contouring and a daunting amount of makeup brushes required to apply a simple eyeshadow, this tomboy knew the task of my bridal makeup had to be devoted to someone other than me.
    With a sea of tik tok and insta tutorials at my disposal, I was completely lost and overwhelmed at the potential looks and the options I should consider.. Not really knowing a thing about beauty products and skin tone, I knew I had to look closer to home for advice. A family friend recommended Fran and from our very first contact she was polite and genuinely interested in what I needed and what she could do for ME.. She was keen to understand my style, theme and my vision. We had a test run 3 months prior to the wedding, which I appreciated because I was so nervous that I wouldn't like looking "bridal". As the professional, she guided my makeup choices and the test run was a success. The day was even better. My makeup was flawless, despite the MASSIVE angry spot which appeared the morning prior.

    Fran arrived early on the day and was a calming influence after my hairdresser arrived late. Fortunately for me, Fran is an expert in her craft and was able to apply my makeup flawlessly while my head was being tugged around by the hairdresser. With the most perfect dress to be showcased, my makeup was absolute fire! I've recommended Fran to absolutely everyone I know getting married in need of makeup services.. (She does hair too, but I had already organised this prior to our contact)

    If you're considering a professional makeup artist for your wedding day, you HAVE to consider Fran. You will not regret it.

    Extremely happy

    I couldn’t have been more happy with my make up and hair. It was exactly what I had asked for and envisioned for my wedding day. Fran made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.
