Couldn’t have asked for better!
Karen was absolutely amazing! She came at the crack of dawn in order to get me ready for my day, put me at so much ease and made me look absolutely beautiful but still so natural and like myself. Karen is the perfect person to make you look like you but better on your wedding day I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.Karen was absolutely amazing!

Simply amazing!
I first met Karen about a year before my wedding. At that time I hadn't yet chosen my dress and so had no idea what style/look I was hoping for but I knew I wanted Karen to be my hair & make-up artist on the day. Not only does she have extensive experience, she is passionate about what she does, is so creative and a joy to spend time with as a bonus! When it came time for my trial, I gave little to no direction on what I wanted - other than a pink lip - and yet she created a hairstyle that suited me, with a classic yet relaxed look. Whilst I came away from my trial happy, I was blown away on the day on how my hair & make-up looked, with both holding their own throughout the day which included some rain, 40mph winds and even an evening ceilidh!! Not only did I feel amazing, but Karen also looked after the rest of the wedding party - they looked beautiful and most importantly, like themselves. I would not hesitate to work with Karen again and I'm so glad I found her early on in the wedding preparations.I first met Karen about a year before my wedding.

Simply brilliant
There really aren’t words for what an amazing woman Karen is. So talented and lovely to match
She did my three young bridesmaids (all aged 13) and they all adored her - she made them look stunning but still 13 year old young girls.
As for the magic she managed on my aged self well - she’s a miracle worker. I hate having my photo taken and she managed to make me feel so confident
I don’t wear a lot of make up so I wanted a natural look and she delivered in spades.

Just superb!
I don’t normally write reviews but as the photos start to arrive I just have to…Karen is wonderful! My daughter got married recently having her 2 sisters as bridesmaids. She had booked Karen to do the hair and make up for the bridal party. From the moment she arrived Karen’s friendly and professional approach put us all at ease. Karen listened well to our individual requests and made sure we were comfortable with her ideas and suggestions. Honestly, Karen has the most amazing skills - our hair and make up was flawless but not uniform as she managed to create ‘a look’ that reflected our unique personalities. I don’t think my daughter could have chosen anyone better, Karen truly is an artist at her craft. I would highly recommend her.I don’t normally write reviews but as the photos start to arrive I just have to…Karen is wonderful! My daughter got married recently having her 2 sisters as bridesmaids.

17.03.25 wedding at Le Petit Chateau
From first contact, Karen was amazing and I knew I made the right decision with her straight away. Her lovely personality and overall friendliness settled my nerves instantly when it came to my hair and makeup trial. She is a delight to work with and is full of great ideas, helping me make decisions we both agreed worked when it came to adjusting my hairstyle for the wedding. She impressed me with all of her knowledge and tips with improving my skin and hair before my big day, what products to use etc. She is 100% worth every £ she charges because this wonderful lady delivers in full. You get exactly what you pay for: hair and makeup last until the very end, which every bride hopes for, for their special day.
Thank you so much Karen for making my wedding from start to finish so perfect, the compliments I received were endless and it’s all thanks to you. Thank you!

Karen is simply the best!
Karen did the hair and makeup for me, my mum and my sister at my wedding this December. She was truly magnificent from the very first emails we exchanged. I had a trial done with her before the wedding where she guided me to find the perfect style of hair and makeup, and on the day it was just perfect. My mum and sister were also delighted with theirs. I would recommend Karen to everyone!Karen did the hair and makeup for me, my mum and my sister at my wedding this December. She was truly magnificent from the very first emails we exchanged.

Karen Mason hair and makeup- perfect!
Karen did a great job of the hair and makeup for my mum, bridesmaid, best woman and I. Karen had a FaceTime call with us before the day to see us, get a feel for what we wanted and to start planning. The looks Karen gave us was just what we wanted, it looked great and it was all timed to perfection. I would definitely recommend Karen if you want to look fabulous on your day.Karen did a great job of the hair and makeup for my mum, bridesmaid, best woman and I.

Wonderful hair & make-up experience
Karen did the hair and makeup for me and my two bridesmaids at my wedding in October.
I came to Karen after having a bad experience at a trial with a different person, where I learnt that the hair-style I'd initially wanted didn't work with the type of hair I have. I was immensely grateful that Karen's years of experience meant that at my trial session we could work with the hair that I have to make a hair-style that fitted what I wanted and made me feel beautiful. On the day, it held up incredibly well, and probably could've lasted for days longer if we hadn't taken it down!
When booking Karen, I also decided to book make-up for me and my bridesmaids due to the breadth of experience that she had. She gave us all confidence to look our best on the day, and created a great natural look for me as someone that doesn't usually wear make-up. She also dealt just as well with the skin tones of the Indian member of our bridal party as with the other two of us with very pale skin.
