Thank you!

Fran created my dream hairstyle and sorted my 5 bridesmaids and managed to squeeze my flower girls in too! Thank you so much. Pic of my mermaid braid hair albeit at the end of the night!

All planned to perfection the order of hair and make up and the times for each person.

You might of guessed on the day that due to sickness
The whole itinerary had to be,changed
.the order of hair and makeup.. .
Fran .calmly .Professionally over a cup of coffee re gigged the whole lot again. She was so flexible over and above. As one girl then reacted to the makeup so all had to be removed Fran never faltered .the end results on all our makeup was outstanding. Covering 4 generations.. hair up dos were perfect and on trend as was the wig hair. We all felt a million dollars. Fran was artistic professional .flexible and perfectionist all over and above we can't thank her enough. ,just relax back and let her do her thing. Amazing.

Fabulous Make Up and Hair

What an absolutely lovely lady Fran is, she brought smiles and fun to the getting ready for the wedding. Extremely professional, made sure I was happy with everything the whole way through and my hair and make up were the best they have ever been. Made me feel like a million pounds on my very special day. I can't thank Fran enough, no drama (which no bride needs) just fun and professionalism. Fran's demeanor kept me calm and relaxed which was just what I needed. Thank you so much.

Don’t do it

The day before my wedding, she WhatsApped me that a couple of days ago her car broke down and would not be fixed in time for the wedding so she was sending her assistant. Why she couldn’t have arranged alternative transport is beyond me, and also to wait until the day before to tell me which gives me no other options was not a great move. So anyway I tried not to stress. Bless the assistant, she came the next day and was lovely, did her best but the makeup was suuuuper heavy, I couldn’t go near anyway without it transferring. We had paid extra to get lashes for my bridesmaids (mine were included) and apparently Fran had told her assistant not to bring any! Thankfully she had some on her. There was no follow up from Fran after the wedding. I messaged her to try to get a little compensation, especially as I had paid for her experience but she ignored my message, I followed up a few days later and I can see she’s blocked my number. Super unprofessional, I beg you don’t put yourself through this - there’s better out there!

Absolutely Amazing!

Fran and her assistants were all absolutely amazing and their work is amazing - they made all of my girls, my Mum/Mother in Law, my Nan and my God-mother look absolutely incredible.

Fran became more like a friend to me than a hair/make up artist, supporting me through not only the struggle with making sure everyone was ready on time, but also with making sure I stayed cool, calm and collected on the day too. Nothing was too much or too little and Fran genuinely has the heart of an angel - I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who asks.

Thank you Fran, Jadey & Tina xxx

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!

Fran really made the day extra special!

I can't recommend Fran enough as a hair and makeup artist. She did an amazing job on my hair and my bridesmaids’ hair, suggesting styles that worked perfectly for each of us. On the wedding morning, Fran was such a fun and calming presence, even with all the chaos of bridesmaids, in-laws, and toddlers running around. My hair and makeup looked gorgeous and held up all day, even with the crazy wind. My bridesmaids and mother-in-law loved their looks too. Fran really made the day extra special!

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).
