    Thank you!

    I couldn’t recommend The Strand Occasions enough! 🤍

    They did the hair for both myself as the bride and my bridal party, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. They were so professional, friendly and lovely to have around on the morning of the wedding, which made such a difference when everything was feeling so exciting

    Everyone’s hair looked beautiful and was exactly what we had hoped for. The attention to detail was amazing, and they really listened to what we all wanted while making sure everything looked polished and beautiful.

    And the best part — the hair genuinely lasted ALL day and night! Even after all the photos, dancing and celebrations, it still looked amazing. 🥰

    Thank you so much to The Strand Occasions for helping make our wedding morning so special and for making me and my bridal party feel so confident and beautiful. I’m so glad I chose you for such an important part of the day! 🤍✨

    Wedding day Natural Glam

    Natalie was brilliant from start to finish.

    All communication was super easy and I always received quick replies.

    Myself and my mum both had hair and make up trials before the day, Natalie was knowledgeable and was able to talk us through different style and options after looking through our inspiration photos. After the trial we were able to discuss any changes we wanted to make and these were taken into account on the day.

    Natalie arrived perfectly on time and work hard through out the morning to get myself, my mum and three bridesmaids ready, joining in with the conversations and laughter helping to put us all at ease.

    As someone who never wears make up or gets my hair done I was really worried I wouldn’t look or feel like myself. But Natalie ensured the natural glam was exactly what I wanted and I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day.

    Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hair and make up artist ❤️

    Great service

    Natalie was very nice, and patient with my indecision concerning what hair I should have on my wedding. She listened to my concerns after the hair and makeup trial. I was worried how flat my hair looked after the trial, but she arranged to get hair extensions in for the wedding day and my hair looked very good and natural still. I was most satisfied with the makeup, considering I don't normally wear any and I don't feel comfortable with a lot of it. She made it light and elegant, just what I asked for.

    More than I could ever ask for!

    Natalie has been amazing from start to finish. Her ability to put my very loosely described vision into actual reality was more than I could ever ask for. She was in hand to answer any questions from start to finish. The trial blew me away in her ability to put together what I was looking for and she made me feel so comfortable and listened to. On the day itself she was on hand to ease everyone’s nerves and she listened so well to each person who sat in her chair. I would not have changed a thing and I got so many compliments all day. The cherry on the top, our day was unexpectedly very hot and both my hair and make up lasted all day. Thank you Natalie!

    Calm, Professional, and Absolutely Perfect

    I had the most wonderful experience! From the trial to the big day. Natalie really listened to what I wanted and made me feel so special and beautiful for my wedding day. She kept me super calm on the day and I was so pleased with how my wedding hair and make up turned out. It stayed perfectly put all day long. She also did an amazing job of my bridesmaids’ hair / makeup. They looked so beautiful! It was an absolute pleasure to have her with us on the wedding morning. Thank you so much.

    Had the best day ever! :)

    Natalie was amazing. During my hair and makeup trial, she quickly put me at ease before we trialled certain styles. On our big day yesterday, Natalie did such a great job and our guests kept telling me I looked beautiful. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more lovely morning preparing. 😊 xx

    Thank you so much Ellie it was an absolute pleasure guiding you you through the whole process and I think the clip hair extensions were a game changer ! And you looked incredible.

    Amazing Service - Highly Recommended!

    The hair and makeup provided for my wedding was amazing - the service provided at every step from the trial up to the wedding day was excellent. The hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted, Natalie was so accommodating and made me feel at ease. I can't recommend Natalie enough!

    Five stars!

    I used the Strand for my bridal party hair and make-up and we were all so happy with the results. Natalie listened to us and did exactly what we asked. She was very patient with me as well as I was quite indecisive about how I wanted my hair!

    Natalie was friendly, professional and very hard working! I felt instantly comfortable with Natalie and knew I was in safe hands.

    Thanks for helping make my day so special.

    I would definitely recommend the Strand and Natalie. Very reasonably priced too!

    Bridal Review

    Natalie was amazing throughout. From the trial where she really listened to what I wanted and the vision I had right through into the big day. All of my bridal party looked fantastic. Everyone commented on how natural and elegant our hair and make up looked. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone wanting a personal yet professional service for their special occasions

    Bride, Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride

    Natalie’s service was amazing. The process from the trial at the beginning to the big day was very well organised and I felt very comfortable with the service provided. She made us look amazing, and gave me the confidence boost that I was looking for on my wedding day!
