    Wedding hair & makeup

    Madalina was fantastic and put me at ease. I do not wear makeup in my daily life, so I was nervous about it all. Madalina was super cool about me squinting in the makeup chair and eventually I relaxed. We did a pre-trial, so I was calm on the wedding day knowing we've settled on all choices.

    Highly recommend! 👏👏👏

    P.S. do listen to her advice on even scheduling things - she's seen it all!

    Thank you so much, Kristina! 🥰 It was such a pleasure being part of your special day, and I’m so grateful you trusted me with your bridal hair and makeup. Wishing you both so much love and happiness! ❤️

    Highly recommend for your big day!

    Madalina was a joy to work with. Not only did she deliver with my hair and makeup for my wedding (fully understanding the brief), her warm, lovely personality made it such a wonderful experience from start to finish. I was so pleased with the results and got so many compliments - me but better! Highly recommend.

    Make-up and hair for wedding day

    Madalina did both my hair and make- up for my wedding day on the 20th of June 2026. She was very professional and all her knowledge about hair and make-up shined! She was able to advise, she kept checking and asking questions. I was extremely happy with the final look for both me and my maid of honour.

    Madalina Elena Hair&Make-up Artist's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jade! 🤍 It was such a pleasure getting you and your maid of honour ready for such a special day.
    I’m so happy you loved your hair and makeup, and it was lovely being part of your wedding morning.
    Thank you for having me🥰🤗

    An amazing experience!!

    I cannot speak any more higher for Madalina and recommend her to any bride!! I’m quite an anxious individual when it comes to anything meeting new people and she just put myself and my bridal party at ease. She listened and was so attentive, she understood my vision immediately and was so complimentary which gave me a confidence boosting the morning of. Communication throughout was fantastic and I was so so lucky to have found her. Had many compliments through the day, makeup held through tears and the dance floor. Would jump at the chance to book her!!

    Madalina Elena Hair&Make-up Artist's reply:

    Oh, thank you so much for such a beautiful review! 🥹💕 Reading this honestly made me smile so much. I loved our morning together and I’m so happy knowing you felt comfortable, confident and completely yourself on your wedding day. It was such a pleasure being part of it, and I’m genuinely so grateful you trusted me with your hair and makeup. ❤️

    Fantastic hair and makeup artist, can’t recommend highly enough!

    Madalina was fantastic at every point! Very responsive communication on enquiry, easy to book a trial with. My wedding day hair and makeup were exactly as I requested and lasted the whole day, even in 38 degree heat! Madalina was professional and kind and couldn’t have done a better job! Highly recommend to all London brides.

    Madalina is brilliant!

    Couldn’t recommend Madalina more if you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist for your wedding day!

    I felt so at ease with Madalina from the first trial and could easily feedback on any slight changes I wanted and she’s more than happy to take this on board and also make suggestions that work for your hair type.

    I was absolutely thrilled with my hair and makeup on my wedding day, it was exactly what I wanted to feel comfortable. My bridesmaids and Mum were also thrilled with their hair and make up and all got compliments all day.

    Thank you so much Madalina!

    Wonderful make up, lovely person

    From the very first message Madalina was super responsive, easy to work with and flexible. She gave us such a lovely experience on the day and in the lead up. She replies so quickly and is happy to answer all questions. She also travelled to my house for both the trial and the day itself, which made life very easy. It was lovely having her on the big day as she is a funny, kind, calming presence - perfect for pre-wedding nerves. And perhaps most importantly, she did a gorgeous job on our hair and makeup! We had done a trial which was good, and gave me a chance to see what I liked on myself. When the big day came, I asked for some changes which she handled effortlessly and the end look was exactly what I wanted. She did my Maid of Honor as well, and make her look stunning! I would definitely use Madalina again, and I absolutely would recommend her! Thank you so much Madalina!!

    Reading your review truly made my day and means more to me than you know.

Reviews like yours are exactly why I love what I do, being able to help wonderful people feel amazing and enjoy such an important moment in their lives is the most rewarding part of my job. Thank you again for trusting me, and I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness! 🤍

    Amazing stylist gave me the wedding hair of my dreams!

    Madalina was my hairstylist for my wedding this summer; she got the vision straight away during our trial session. The hair was perfect, so we knew exactly what we were doing for the big day. Which is so helpful, as it's one less thing to worry about when you know you are in such safe and talented hands.

    My hair looked the best it's ever looked. I need an excuse to have my hair like this done again, and i would definitely go back to Madalina!

    Madalina was so friendly and knowledgeable and totally put my mind and ease and kept me relaxed (which you really need the morning of your wedding. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again at some point.

    Thank you so so much for bringing my vison to life 💕

    Thank you so much, Iona for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. 🥰
    It was a pleasure being part of your wedding morning, and I'm so grateful you trusted me with your hair. Your photos are absolutely beautiful, I loved seeing them!
    Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness 🤍

    Madalina Elena

    I felt like I really struggled to find a hair and make-up artist and something about Madalina-Elena’s profile drew me in and IM SO GLAD. From the trial through to the wedding day she was so lovely, communicative and supportive. I’m not great with make-up and she took my garbled requests for what I thought I wanted and turned me into a masterpiece whilst being a lovely source of calm on the morning. And the final thing is that somehow both the hair and make-up managed to survive the hottest day of the year and a seriously above average amount of (happy) tears until the next morning as I forgot to take it off before bed.
    She’s truly wonderful and was an integral part of our day.
    Thank you so much 🫶🏼

    Thank you so much 🫶
    It was so lovely to receive your photos and then read this review. Seeing how happy and radiant you looked throughout the day was the best feedback I could ask for. ❤️
    Wishing you a happy marriage🥰😘

    Highly recommended 🥰

    I booked Madalina for a wedding trial then for my big day. I was impressed from the beginning with Madalina’s responsiveness and professionalism. I was quite apprehensive about getting my hair and make up done and wanted a natural but elevated look. Madalina understood the brief perfectly and put me at ease during the trial and on my wedding day, which is so important when emotions can be running high. I was delighted with the final result and could not have asked for any more!! I got so many compliments and felt amazing. Thank you so much Madalina for being a big part of my wedding and I would strongly recommend to any bride to be 🥰

    It was such a pleasure being part of your wedding journey and creating your bridal look for such a special day. You looked absolutely stunning, and working with you was a dream from start to finish.
    Wishing you and your husband a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and unforgettable memories together.
    Thank you again for trusting me with your hair and makeup on your big day😍🤍
