Truly amazing, please hire Sophie for your wedding!
Sophie’s makeup artistry was impeccable; our looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire day, allowing us to celebrate without a worry. Beyond her talent, she was kind, approachable, and a genuine pleasure to spend my wedding morning with. Her calming presence set the perfect tone for the day ahead.
I couldn’t recommend Sophie more highly—she truly made our special day even more beautiful. Thank you, Sophie, for your amazing work!
Hair that didn't budge
Couldn’t recommend Sophie enough!
My husband and I decided to elope, keeping our wedding day incredibly intimate with just two witnesses, so it was really important to me that I felt special and confident for such a meaningful occasion. From the moment I booked with Sophie, she was fantastic. She was friendly, professional and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect.
Sophie did both my hair and makeup, as well as styling the hair of one of our witnesses. She listened carefully to what I wanted and created a look that felt completely like me—just elevated for my wedding day. The end result was absolutely beautiful, and I felt so confident and comfortable throughout the day.
What stood out most was how calm and relaxed Sophie made the whole experience. On a day filled with excitement and nerves, she brought such a lovely energy and made getting ready one of my favourite parts of the day. Both my hair and makeup lasted perfectly and looked amazing in all of our photographs.
Sophie is incredibly talented, attentive to detail and an absolute pleasure to be around. I'm so grateful she was part of our wedding day and helped make it even more memorable. If you're looking for someone to make you look and feel your best, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophie and Shapeshift.
Thank you so much, Sophie!💖

Absolutely amazing wedding hair stylist 😍
On the day, Sophie arrived on time, in a great mood and fully prepared to get started. She took her time and was patient with us especially my young children who kept walking past and knocking the curler wires. Sophie ensured all my Bridesmaids were happy with their hair before she went onto the next person.
I couldn't be happier with how all our hairs turned out, Sophie is amazing at what she does and I would 1000% recommend her and definitely book her again for future events.
Thank you so much Sophie ❤️
