Absolutely incredible for every single one of the wedding party!

Emily was absolutely phenomenal right from first speaking with her over a year before my wedding day, to the trial and the day itself! Such a pleasure to deal with and, as someone who doesn’t really wear makeup and is a bit clueless, made me feel really listened to and that she’d taken my preference on board :)

I had a very large wedding party, with 6 bridesmaids plus a flower girl AND I asked Emily to do the hair and makeup for my mum and mother in law. Everyone has totally different skin, complexions and different hair but Emily was able to make every single one of us feel incredible to the point that one shed a tear she was so happy!

Our little flower girl was only 4 and Emily was able to cater for her so well and make her feel involved, even though she wasn’t having makeup done like the older girls.

I felt the loveliest I ever have done, and really felt beautiful for my wedding day - I did not want to take my hair out or my makeup off. Thank you so much Emily!

Fantastic wedding hair and makeup

Emily was amazing both on the day and for the trial! She was a source of calm on the day which was much appreciated considering I had a 3 month old who I was feeding while she worked. I loved my hair and my makeup and would highly recommend Emily to anyone getting married!

Responsive, talented make-up artist

Emily was amazing and really put me at ease from the trial to the day itself. She happily chatted away to me which was a perfect distraction from my nerves! Emily is extremely talented and really listened to what I wanted. She gave me advice throughout the process including advising on various treatments that I was considering. She is really knowledgeable and was quick to respond to emails. We have a lot of amazing dance floor photos from the end of the night and the make up still looks incredible. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough.

Wedding hair and make up

Emily is very friendly and did a great job, natural make up and loose wavy hair half up at the back. Emily and her assistant arrived promptly in the morning and were very efficient, we were all ready half an hour early! Also appreciated her re-arranging when we had to re-schedule due to covid for no extra cost.

Abbie Elliott & Gavin Elliott Wedding

Emily was fantastic! I had a trial with Emily around 8 weeks prior to my wedding for both hair & makeup.

Makeup- I was really unsure how I wanted my makeup and really needed someone to suggest options to me, Emily did just that! She was really helpful in leading the way in what she thought would look right for my makeup based on my colour scheme of the wedding and the style of my dress. I didn’t want to much makeup and all that I requested was a natural look! She did just that!!!

Hair - I knew exactly what hair style I wanted, I wanted my hair up. I showed Emily a photo and she carried this out the same if not better! What was even better is that my hair stayed in all day throughout the wedding! My biggest fear was that it would gradually fall out in the day, but it didn’t! It was perfect!!!

I highly recommend Emily, she is responsive and punctual. Will certainly use again for other big events I have! My sister who is also getting married next year has already said she wants the same hair style!

Fabulous! Emily was perfect 🤩

Emily made me feel my absolute best on my wedding day! She went above and beyond with what I thought I would be able to achieve and was so thoughtful with everything from the trial to the day. She also did my bridesmaids too and they looked incredible. Everything was perfect I couldn’t recommend her enough - thank you Emily!!! Sophie

Absolutely brilliant hair and make up!

I’m SO pleased that Emily did my hair and make up on my wedding day! I really enjoyed the hair and make up trial beforehand as well - Emily was lovely, really chilled and very knowledgable on make up products and brands. My mum and I learnt a lot about the best concealers and products for our skin! I told Emily which colours I liked and she got to work straight away, and I absolutely loved the look immediately once she had finished! On my wedding morning I was quite nervous and worried about the rain that was bucketing down at the time, but Emily was so calm, positive and reassuring, and sure enough my day turned out to be amazing and the rain held off at all the right times! I would recommend Emily to anyone- she is so patient, calm, punctual and reliable. She offers fantastic advice and is extremely adaptable to what her clients want. She listens to your ideas, uses these and also suggests other brilliant things to compliment your hairstyle and make up choices. I had such an amazing experience and can’t thank Emily enough for all of her help on my big day!

Fantastic experience

Emily did my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as my mom's. She was professional, patient, flexible, easygoing and so friendly. My hair looked amazing and what I loved most about my makeup is that Emily knew exactly how to enhance my look while still letting me look like myself! Emily is a calming presence for any bride and I can't recommend her enough!

Amazing

I hired Emily to do hair and make up for me & she was fabulous. Very professional yet she made me feel relaxed around her. Both my hair and make up were done exactly how I‘d asked and it lasted throughout the whole day which was great! Couldn’t be happier with the service provided, highly recommend Emily to make you feel your prettiest!

The perfect hair and make up experience

After 2 dreadful experiences, I contacted Emily with an element of fear and dread. But wow, what an amazing lady! This is my second marriage and I didn’t have a professional the first time round. In fact, I’ve never had anyone attempt to “do” my face on any other occasion! But I would again... because Emily is just the most thoughtful, kind and considerate person when it came to my wants and needs. I explained that I don’t wear make-up often on a day-to-day basis and so didn’t want to feel caked up. She listened, asked questions, and gave me exactly what I wanted. The trial went like a dream and I have booked her for the big day... I’ve even booked her for the Hen do and a family birthday coming up too!! Thank you Emily. You’re just a star x

Stunning hair and makeup for the big day!

Hair and makeup was one of the top priorities for my wedding day and I am so glad I chose Emily to make me feel so special on the big day! On the trial run she listened to what I envisioned and helped with ideas based on my hair type, skin tone and theme of the wedding to create a finalised look which was perfect. On the day Emily was calm and professional, chatting and laughing along with me and my bridesmaids to ensure that the wedding prep was stress free and fun. Everyone complimented me on how stuning my hair and makeup was during the day and evening and I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for flawless hair and makeup tailored to your look to leave you glowing and looking beautiful for your big day.

Perfect

Emily has been incredible throughout my experience. From the initial fact-finding stages, to the trial and then the Big Day, Emily made me feel special, beautiful and like nothing was too much trouble. Even down too the small details like touch-ups throughout the day and helping me decide on styles and make-up looks at the beginning. I highly recommend Emily and her services to anyone looking for a professional but personal hair and make-up experience. Thank you Emily!
