Friendly, relaxed and warm

Fran was great - she was receptive to our plans for the wedding and worked with us to create a perfect look for my MIL and I. She was great

The best make up artist I could have wished for 🥳

Fran is one in a million! From start to finish she made me feel very relaxed and comfortable, I put all my trust in her which was so worth it. My hair and make up were absolutely perfect, and both lasted all day and night. I couldn’t have been happier, very highly recommended. Fran is a perfectionist, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day ❤️

Total Pro and Lovely Lady

Fran is amazing! I was over the moon with my bridal hair and makeup. Fran’s time keeping and communication are great. She listened to my preferences and created a look I couldn’t have been happier with. Thank you Fran!

The best experience

Fran was absolutely amazing from start to finish, I reached out very last minute and she had no problem accomodating me. She was so lovely, calm and such a delight to have around for a wedding morning. My mum even decided last minute she wanted to have makeup done and Fran was not phased and said yes and fit her in with no prior preparation. The standard of Frans work is phenomenal, the hair and makeup she does is truly beautiful- do not hesitate to book. This woman is one in a million.

Perfect wedding hair and make up

Fran is laid back and easy to talk to and puts you at ease. Great to spend my wedding day morning with her doing my hair and make up, the mothers and bridesmaid and flower girls hair. She is a perfectionist and professional and can’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic MUA for English-Indian Fusion wedding

Fran was excellent! She made me feel so at ease with her fun loving nature, professionalism and expertise. I had Bridal makeup, mother of the bride and all my female bridesmaids made up and the results were outstanding. We had had several weddings in the family recently prior to mine and her make up was definitely the best. She clearly knows what she is doing and is able to adapt to changing circumstances very well. Thank you so much Fran, you made my day so much more enjoyable!

Wonderful!

I am not used to hair and make up and she did a wonderful job of understanding what I wanted and making me feel comfortable. She also kept me calm throughout the morning. Thank you!

Amazing hair and make up

Fran did an amazing make up and hair for our first Ballroom and Latin Dance competition! She travelled to our hotel to Ipswich and although this type of work is not her usual one she nailed it! I am looking forward to working with her again! We had a lot of fun during the process! Highly recommend!

Flawless Fran!

I could not speak more highly of Fran - she absolutely nailed the theme for my wedding look (silver screen siren) creating a vision that got me compliments all day long. Available by email and WhatsApp, Fran was responsive and flexible and happy to accommodate an additional home visit for the trial. The most important thing for brides to know about Fran, is how much fun she is. We had a very small wedding and Fran really brought a special bit of magic that helped make the day. I would book her again in an instant (and am hoping she'll be willing to work her magic on me again for our reception party).

Lovely lady and equally lovely makeup

Fran is such a lovely and enthusiastic person! I don't wear much makeup day to day or do much with my hair so had no idea what to ask for but she make me feel beautiful. Impressed with how long my hair stayed in place! My mother in law also got makeup done and she looked amazing! Very happy and would definitely recommend!

Fran is a gifted makeup artist!

I am so grateful to have come across Fran to do my wedding makeup 💄
I have dark skin, and Fran knew what colours would work best for me, even though she had just met me. She did ask me if l had a colour in mind, which l didn't. l left the trial makeup to Fran, and she nailed it!

Fran provides a great service, is attentive to detail and didn't mind exploring the possibility to get the right look that suited me. She was patient and supportive and I would highly recommend her.

Even my hairdresser that came across Fran for the first time on my wedding day, said Fran was good!.
The energy in the room on my special day was calm, fun and relaxed, and that's due to having two experienced people, my hairdresser and Fran, whom both did me proud! 😀

fun, flexible and flawless

Fran and her assistant were fantastic from start to finish on the day of the wedding.

Fran and I had a trial a few months before the wedding which was great fun and gave me a fantastic insight to the durability of the make up and hair style I had chosen - all lasted all day.

On the day of the wedding, the girls turned up and got to work straight away. I had 5 bridesmaids, who all have different hair and skin tones and the girls made them look flawless. Fran was flexible with make up- adding and retouching any of the girls who wanted something a little different.

My hair and make up experience with Fran was fantastic, she ensured I looked my best and that my hair wasn't going to budge - despite my incredibly long veil!

We laughed, joked and smiled the whole way through the experience and I cannot recommend her skills enough!

You can't go wrong!

Fran was absolutely great from start to finish. Quickly responsive to messages and very easy to communicate with. She created perfectly the natural/elegant look I wanted for the day. We had a make up and hair trial where we discussed what we wanted and she was so great at getting us excited for the day. On the day itself Fran was fun but also calm which was exactly what I needed. I would 100% recommend Fran and her team to another person for their wedding day.
