Sophie created my dream look!

Sophie was phenomenal from booking her, all the way through to the wedding day. Both at the trial and the wedding day she listened to me and created the most stunning look which lasted all day. Her organisational skills made the day run smoothly styling over 9 bridesmaids hair and her kind and caring nature made the morning of the wedding one I won’t forget! I recommend Sophie to all brides looking for a makeup artist!

Wonderful hair and beauty stylist

Sophie was so wonderful, she did my makeup so perfectly and she has really fai r and reasonable pricing. She had good energy around me and my family getting ready on the day which was really important to me. I had a few trials with some other stylist and sophie was by far the best and also nicest, very happy to make changes and easy going. I would definitely use sophie again in the future for another event. Thank you!!!!

Wedding Hair & Make Up

Sophie was brilliant. She listened to what I wanted and I was really pleased with the finished look. My make up was perfect - I don't usually wear a lot of make up so didn't want to not look like me. The finished result was brilliant.

I loved the way she did my hair - it was exactly what I had envisaged.

Wonderful stylist, wonderful human

As someone who works in events, my weddign suppliers were mostly my friends, including my makeup artist. I was very intentional when hiring my hair stylist, as I watned to be sure they could fit in to the dynamic created by people I've known for years, Sophie was an absolute perfect fit. At my trial I knew she would maintain the peace and good energy already in the bridal suite and, most importantly, made my hair look absolutely gorgoeus. There were five of us getting our hair done on the day, and everyone left feeling their most beautiful. She was incredibly adaptive (running to hide with me in the bar to pin my veil in), professional, and just lovely to be around. I can not reccomend Sophie more.

The best mua & hairstylist!

Sophie is amazing on all fronts. Firstly, she is fast, gentle, and detail oriented - which are three things rare to find simultaneously in a MUA & hair stylist! Secondly, she has a lovely warm & positive energy - she just knows what's right when ref. when to chat, when to give you space to unwind etc - she will ensure your comfort throughout. Lastly, she is great at troubleshooting (she accommodated 1 more person last minute no problem) and can create a wonderful look no matter the age, hair type etc as from my mum to myself she adapted perfectly to each person's desires. Just great.

Fab wedding hair and makeup

Sophie was so easy to work with and greatly contributed to me having a lovely and relaxing wedding morning. From a thorough initial consultation and working with me and advising me when I changed my mind several times, she was so helpful and professional and clearly knows her stuff. I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup on the day - the hairstyle she did was a work of art! I would be happy to recommend her to any bride.

Best stylist ever!

I was pretty nervous of how I wanted to look on my big day, I don’t like being the centre of attention. Sophie was brilliant, I wanted a natural look & wondered if this was possible whilst also looking good for the photos. Sophie understood & she nailed the look, I felt myself just a fabulous version. I would highly recommend her.
Regards,
Lucy.
