    Stunning hair and makeup! Highly recommend Melissa for your wedding!

    Melissa and her amazing team, Scarlett and Steph, did my wedding hair and makeup and they were absolutely brilliant! From the very beginning, Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was warm, friendly, and very professional. We had a wonderful trial where I got to see how the hair and makeup would look on the day and talk through any changes I wanted made for the day.
    On the wedding morning, I had seven bridesmaids, myself, and two moms and Melissa coordinated everything flawlessly. The timeline ran perfectly, and everyone was ready with time to spare, which meant we could enjoy the morning without feeling rushed or stressed. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun and a huge part of that was down to the seamless way Melissa and her team worked.
    A few weeks before the wedding we had to change our getting-ready location, which meant reworking the schedule. Melissa was so flexible and accommodating with the change! She quickly adjusted everything to ensure the morning still ran to plan.
    The hair and makeup were absolutely stunning! I felt so beautiful! Melissa and her team really listened to what each person wanted, and the end results were even better than I had hoped for. Our looks held all day and night long and the photos look absolutely perfect!
    I cannot recommend Melissa enough - thank you so much Melissa!!

    The most incredible Wedding HMU! (26.05.25)

    Melissa was absolutely incredible from the first trial to the day of the wedding. Not only did she make everyone feel so comfortable on the morning getting ready, but she also created exactly the look I wanted; taking great care with listening and altering my make up and hair. I couldn't recommned Melissa highly enough with the beautiful work she did on the hair and make up for myself and the bridesmaids, that lasted from the first photo all the way through to the final dance. Thank you so much Melissa!

    Wedding hair and makeup

    Melissa was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding recently. She was absolutely wonderful! She did a brilliant job for me and my sister creating an elegant but natural look. Everyone at the wedding loved the results and it lasted all day long despite the hot weather and all the dancing. Melissa was very accommodating when after the first trial I decided to completely change my hairstyle and she managed to find me a slot to do a second trial at short notice. She is a really friendly and warm person and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. We both loved our hair and makeup and I felt really beautiful on my wedding day! I strongly recommend her!

    Melissa is exceptional!

    Melissa and her assistant, Scarlett, were a dream and everything I hoped for in hair and makeup artists.
    From the very start when I reached out to Melissa a year prior to my wedding, she was warm, friendly and professional, and nothing was too much of an ask to help me with.
    She is incredibly organised and she managed the timeline of 4 bridesmaids, myself and two Mums impeccably well with plenty of time to spare so we all enjoyed a relaxed and happy morning of preparations.
    Thank you so much Melissa, you're incredible, and I will always recommend you!

    Stunning looks!

    Melissa (and Scarlett) did the make up for my big day, and for the 7 members of my Team Bride, and each of us absolutely loved our looks. She was so attentive and listened to exactly what I, and the girls, wanted and delivered exactly that! We were finished ahead of schedule and Melissa stayed until the first looks were complete to do some much needed touch ups (too many tears!!). Our looks held all day and night long and the photos have come out perfect! Thank you so much to both of you for being with us on my big day, I 100% recommend Melissa for creating your amazing bridal looks!

    Fantastic Hair & Makeup artist!

    Melissa was absolutely wonderful! We had created a schedule for the day ahead of time but on the day itself there were various changes that had to be made as wedding mornings can be hectic! But Melissa was so adaptable and easy going, she really set the relaxed tone of the morning and kept me and the bridesmaids chilled. Her work was just beautiful and all the girls felt pampered and gorgeous on the day – even the Mums! I would highly recommend Melissa, she was just fabulous!

    Perfect wedding hair & makeup!

    Melissa and her team, Lauren and Jess, provided hair and makeup services for my, my mother, my grandmother, and four bridesmaids for my recent Oxford wedding. They were fantastic! Firstly, they were extremely prompt, which was so important to us since we had a morning ceremony and not much time in the morning to get ready. Second, they really listened to what each woman wanted and delivered. Everyone's hair and makeup looked fantastic and lasted the whole day - even with some serious dancing! I've never seen my mother more excited about her hair - she had a beautiful updo with a hat and glamorous, yet still fresh and natural makeup. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Melissa's work - she was able to incorporate my crown/headband and veil in a style that held up all day (and my hair has historically not held curl at all - this lasted two days!). I also loved the makeup - soft but still glam. Third, Melissa's communication was really strong - I had some travel issues which meant that I was unable to make my original trial time, but she was able to reschedule me quickly. Finally, I really appreciate Melissa's calming demeanor - my mom and I were a bit stressed in the morning, but she helped to ground us and just make the morning fun and upbeat. She was reassuring but also just so professional — we felt we were in the best hands.

    Wow, wow, wow!

    Melissa is AMAZING. She is an incredible hair stylist, so patient, a calming presence and goes above and beyond her duties! I honestly could not recommend her enough, she even got me in my wedding dress and earrings as my hands were shaking too much!!! Thank you so so much.

    Always the best!

    Melissa did my hair and make up for my wedding almost 8 years ago, and I have booked her for several events since! She is so skilled and so professional, and made me feel so comfortable and confident on my special day. I would not (and have not!) hesitate to book her again!

    Best Experience

    Melissa has been the most amazing makeup artist and hairstylist, from when I first enquired, up to our wedding day. She is knowledgeable and experienced in her field, and I felt immediately reassured when she answered my questions and made plans regarding my concerns. The trial was really helpful and it gave me a good insight as to how it would be like on the wedding day. Melissa made me feel comfortable both during the trial and on our wedding day. On the day, Melissa and her colleague, Lauren, arrived early and brought quite a relaxed atmosphere with them.

    Speaking with Melissa while she was doing my hair and makeup helped with my nerves, and she also lent an extra hand as I was getting ready to come out for the first look. I cannot thank Melissa enough for her job well done. I highly recommend her as she helped me feel confident and beautiful on our wedding day. She’s brilliant!
