Just fantastic

From start to finish, Karen was amazing. Trying to plan a wedding as an ex-pat was very challenging but Karen made everything so easy and made herself available by email and zoom to help with any queries. On the day itself, Karen was professional and calm and put everyone at ease. Most of all, she listened to what I wanted and everything turned out amazing. Thank you so much Karen.

Wonderful!

Karen is a wonderful hair and make up artist, so talented and so warm and friendly. She is super knowledgeable about all aspects of both hair and make up and she is very collaborative. Everything about my hair and make up was so perfect, I felt like a billion $$ but looked like myself. Both my make up and hair style lasted all day/night and everyone complimented me on both.
She is very calm and was so thoughtful when I was getting nervous. She also made it so fun and enjoyable. Getting ready was a dream and stress free. I recommend her so highly, Karen is amazing!

A Wonderful Tutorial for Men

As men, it isn't always easy to know how best to approach make-up for an event as important as your wedding day. However, Karen made the process a delight. Not only did she help craft the perfect looks for each of us, but Karen made us feel relaxed, confident in our ability to recreate them ourselves, and made the tutorial an event in itself which is already a highlight within our wedding journey. She is exceptionally skilled in her craft but also in working with people in an empathic and generous manner. We left the session with step-by-step guides, personalised to our skin types and colourings, which we are truly excited about. She also carefully detailed all of the products we may need, with helpful tips on techniques and retailers for each. We would recommend her very highly to anyone and everyone! Thank you again, Karen! xxx

Professional, warm, empathetic with a great eye

Karen was just what I needed. I don’t wear much makeup but wanted to look great on the day and in photos to look back on. Karen took time to listen to my preferences and concerns. I would not have chosen what she suggested but she is a pro and sees what will work and it did! I had a lighter look for the wedding and went back before the party next evening, where my hair was a bit more free form. I was able to relax knowing it was how I wanted it to be and not to have to check myself for each photo (thankfully)
I would thoroughly recommend Karen. She did a brilliant job with my 3 sisters also - all quite different and perfectly timed to have us ready
Lovely, fascinating person to chat to too

Karen has been absolutely fantastic throughout my wedding journey. She did both my hair and make-up for my wedding and it was absolutely perfect, I couldn't have been happier. I would highly recommend her any family and friends.

A very natural look for a perfect day

Karen was absolutely fantastic! I was a little apprehensive at first hiring a makeup artist because I never wear any makeup and like a very natural look, but Karen understood straight away what I wanted and did a lovely light makeup on the day. I absolutely loved it! She did both my hair and makeup in less than 2 hours and it was all stress-free and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend her!

Great hair and make up which lasted all day

Karen was great!
She took time to understand what I wanted and we worked out everything we needed to on the trial.
I wanted very natural make up, nothing too heavy. And she achieved that, but I still felt very glamorous.
On the day of the wedding, Karen arrived promptly and worked super efficiently to get everyone ready in time. She was so calm and reassuring and I loved the end result. My hair and make up stayed the same from 10am until 1am.
My mum was nervous about her hair as she has very thick hair which can be frizzy and difficult to work with. Karen worked magic on her, and I've never seen her hair so beautiful. Her curls stayed in for days!
I highly recommend Karen and I'm grateful for all her hard work for us on the day x

Karen did a fantastic job of my hair and makeup for my two-day wedding celebration. After a trial at Karen’s house, we agreed on two different looks for day and evening events. Karen was very attentive, and great fun to be around. My mum and bridesmaids were all really happy with their hair and makeup too and loved speaking with Karen. Thanks Karen for a wonderful experience - I would highly recommend her to any brides to be!
