    Thank you for the amazing wedding hair!

    I chose Rachel to be my hair stylist for my wedding this weekend after she was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I'm so glad I did! Rachel made a busy time easy and kept in contact with myself and my bridal party to discuss ideas and give guidance if hair prep, and was really flexible about location changes for getting ready. It was lovely having Rachel has part of our wedding morning, she out everyone at ease and was really friendly and professional. My whole bridal party looked great and I absolutely loved my hair, my curls and waves stayed in all day and I felt like a princess for my whole wedding. I highly recommend Rachel!

    So thrilled!!

    After years of having my hair and makeup done and never really loving the outcome I had just resigned myself to accepting “just ok”. Rachel and Hannah absolutely blew me away!! My hair and makeup looked amazing and I absolutely LOVED the results. Seriously, would love to have these two awesome professionals for every event. And, they are just really great humans, as well. So lovely in every way. They helped get our day going with so much positive energy and light. …can’t say enough.

    Gorgeous glowy bridal makeup!

    Rachel was amazing! She worked hard to fit me in when I was struggling to find a hair and makeup artist and didn’t make me feel like I was second priority as a result. She was so lovely and easy to talk to throughout both the trial and the morning of the wedding! The makeup look she did for me was beyond what I had envisioned and I have never felt more confident in my own skin! She also did a beautiful look with my hair which was in its natural curls, and lasted me all day including through headbanging. I couldn’t recommend her more!!

    Amazing work!

    I've had a precise idea of what I wanted and Rachel did it!
    She also gave me some excellent advice and managed to style my hair and apply my make-up in a way that perfectly suited my personality and needs. I would recommend her without hesitation!

    MVP of my wedding!

    I can’t thank Rachel enough for her empathy, composure, compassion and kindness on my special day. Just an incredible person to talk to. Her services were incredible, I felt so beautiful and she listened so well to what I needed. She went above and beyond and fully accepted me for who I am, included my chaotic family and our very DIY style wedding ceremony, and she even helped get me down the aisle. What a gem! My family and I will remember her always! Highly highly recommend.

    So friendly and so chilled

    Rachel, Hannah and Michelle were absolutely amazing! They made us feel so relaxed in the morning and they made each person feel special and listened to. Our hair and make up lasted all day long! Guests kept commenting on how Jen's ringlets were still going strong at midnight! We had a range of ages being done from age 11 to age 81 and everyone was so happy. Such an amazing way to start our big day!

    Above and beyond!

    Rachel and Hannah were incredible! They spent time at our trial getting to know me and my Mum, talking through exactly what we wanted, then spent time before the day and on the day making sure they understood what everyone wanted, giving advice on how we can achieve it and making any changes from the trial. They had my hair and make up as well as my Mum's, Mother of the Groom and three bridesmaids, and it was perfect with timings working out well and everything staying in place all day. I loved my make up and hair and had so many compliments throughout the day (even people thinking my long extensions were my real hair! Maraculously grown in a few weeks since I last saw them haha). Rachel and Hannah went above and beyond creating a calm morning getting ready and then helping us all with the inevitable rush when taxis arrived, making sure everything was perfect and we had pictures before we left. Would highly recommend! Thank you!

    Fantastic!

    Rachel was just fantastic. She created a wonderful timelessly elegant look which took my (now!) husband's breath away. She settled my nerves on the day, asked me in the morning if there was anything I had forgotten that she could bring, and was just brilliant with my flower girl who loved the attention and being made to look so beautiful. Rachel was so patient when I was finding it difficult to make decisions and brilliantly practical when we realised my dress was a little creased and could do with a steam! Would absolutely every time recommend. Thank you Rachel for creating my look, being so patient with me, and for your company on the day. You were a superstar.

    Beautiful Bridal Hair and Make Up

    I honestly can’t recommend Rachel Spence enough! She truly went above and beyond for me on my wedding day. After my original artist cancelled last minute, she stepped in and completely saved the day.
    From the moment Rachel arrived, she made me feel so calm, comfortable, and at ease which meant everything on such an important morning. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and professional throughout.
    I was absolutely delighted with the final look. Rachel did such an exceptional job and really listened to what I wanted. I felt like the best version of myself, and that’s all thanks to her talent and care. I felt she was fantastic value for money. Rachel had also styled my step mums hair for the day with curls and she was really pleased with her hair.
    If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and amazingly skilled, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you again for being such a big part of my special day 🤍
