Welcome to Victoria Fraser-Gadd Hair and Makeup Artist, where your dream bridal look comes to life.

With over 18 years of experience in the hair and makeup industry, I am a professionally trained artist who brings creativity, calm, and passion to every wedding. Trained at the prestigious Grease Paint School of Makeup, I’ve worked with a diverse array of clients, including high-profile names and events. Notably, I was part of the hair and makeup team for the 2012 Olympics, and have worked on TV commercials, theatre play adverts, and corporate headshots.

I pride myself on professionalism and a commitment to excellence, having been awarded the Hitched Wedding Award three times. But beyond the accolades, what truly sets me apart is the experience I create for each client.

What it’s like to work with me
Clients often describe me as calm, friendly, and deeply intuitive. I understand that getting ready on your wedding day is about more than just hair and makeup, it’s about feeling supported, relaxed, and confident. I take the time to listen, adapt to your comfort, and gently guide you toward a look that feels authentically you. Whether you're feeling nervous or unsure, I’m there to reassure and uplift, creating a peaceful atmosphere that allows you to truly enjoy the moment.

I offer personalised hair and makeup previews, which can be scheduled up to 12 months before your wedding day. I cater not only to brides but also to bridal parties, including mothers of the bride and groom, bridesmaids, and other family members. Being mobile means I can travel to your chosen wedding location on the morning of your big day, ensuring a stress-free experience.

Based in Surrey, I happily serve clients in the surrounding counties too, bringing beauty, confidence, and calm to your wedding celebration.

Let’s create the perfect bridal look together and make your wedding day unforgettable.

My perfect bridal look

I can’t thank Victoria enough for my wedding hair and makeup, it was absolutely perfect and everything I had hoped for. The look lasted all day and I felt so beautiful and confident throughout. I loved my trial makeup so much that Victoria also did my hair and makeup for my hen party, which was perfect too.

Victoria and Jojo did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, the mother of the groom, and the mother of the bride, and everyone looked and felt amazing. Victoria has such a calming, reassuring presence and really helped the morning run smoothly. I’m so grateful and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Amazing Hair and Make-up by Victoria

Victoria created such a lovely and relaxed atmosphere for my daugher, the bridesmaids, grooms Mu and me last Saturday @ Devere Towers East Horsley.
I loved my hair and make-up and my daughter's make-up made her shine the whole day. The bridesmaids looked fabulous.
From our first trial with you to your communication about how the morning would run to the day and the outcomes you amd your colleagues were fabulous 👌
Thank you so much
You have no idea how much that made a huge difference for all of us not having to worry about a thing.
Keep doing what you do!

Victoria did hair and make up for our moms and our bridesmaids for our wedding! She was amazing from the get go, very approachable, quick to respond and created a great timeline for the day so we all felt comfortable! Hair and make up was fantastic, lasted all day and felt really comfortable. I would strongly recommend Victoria for your wedding or event, along with her awesome skills, she is a super kind person who will make you feel at ease :)

Wedding Hair and Make up

Victoria offers an incredible service! On my wedding day she completed hair and make up for my 2 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and me. Usually, all 4 of us do not wear make up, and so were apprehensive about being able to achieve a look that made us feel elevated but still appearing natural and looking like ourselves. Victoria managed to achieve this perfectly and was so supportive, warm and friendly through the whole experience. Even when given little guidance on preferred hairstyles etc, she managed to create individual styles that we were all so happy with.

Victoria was quick to respond, made you feel like you were important and created a calm environment. Compared to other quotes I received, her prices were reasonable and worth the service provided. Would 10/10 recommend hiring Victoria for your special day!

Everything i ever imagined and more!

If I had to choose one word to sum up my time with Victoria it would be "WOW". From start to finish she made the process completely bespoke and seamless. As someone that doesn't wear makeup very often, I was so nervous to have my hair and makeup done because I was worried that I wouldn't look like myself anymore. During my trial, Victoria made me feel so comfortable trying out different styles and I can honestly say that she was wonderful - I felt like myself but on a really good day!

On the day, the house was chaotic (3 bridesmaids, 2 mums/mother in law, a sister in law and 2 small children) - yet somehow Victoria created a calm environment for us all and made us feel and look beautiful. Victoria's assistant Amber was equally as professional and kind. The hair and makeup lasted all night and we all received so many compliments throughout the day. I cannot recommend Victoria enough.

Professional Hair & Make-up Artist/Collaboration

I’m a professional hair and makeup artist with over 20 years in the industry, and I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Victoria while assisting her with brides. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her work is exceptional — especially her hair artistry, which is truly rare to find in an artist who offers both hair and makeup to such a high standard.

Victoria’s creativity, calm presence, and genuine passion for her craft make her an absolute joy to work with. I will continue to support her as the genuinely incredible artist she is, and I hope to keep collaborating with her throughout our bridal hair and makeup journeys in the years ahead.

Wedding Hair and Make Up

Victoria did my hair and make up for my wedding. From the pre trial to the actual day, Victoria kept me informed of what would happen on those days. I absolutely loved my hair and make up. Victoria also did my bridesmaids hair and they all looked fabulous. We have all agreed when we next have a function together we would love Victoria to do our hair and make up again.

Wonderful service on my wedding day!

Victoria was so lovely and patient throughout the whole process. Her fees are far more reasonable compared to other companies. She spent much more time during the preview to get things right for me, whereas other companies would only spend an hour or only try one look.
I wanted something more natural and not too overly made up whilst accentuating my features, and Victoria captured that brilliantly. I couldn't recommend her more!

The Perfect Experience

Victoria did mine and my bridesmaids hair and make up for my wedding in the summer. The whole experience was so amazing, not only is Victoria such a nice person to have around she is so talented, and we were all so pleased with our hair and make up!
I couldn’t recommend Victoria more - thank you so much x

So happy!!

I was so happy with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Victoria was very calm, tweaked everything as discussed from our trial and I was thrilled with the final look (which lasted 12+ hours through lots of dancing). My bridesmaids also looked amazing. She was super responsive, prices very reasonable and you get years of experience too. Highly recommend!

Wonderful, kind and calm!

Victoria was amazing. She did make at for my wedding for me, my Mum and a few of my bridesmaids.

Everyone was so happy with their make up (especially my Mum, who was nervous as she’d never had her make up done professionally before). We all felt great on the day and the make up came out beautifully in the photos as well.

Thanks to Victoria for being such a calm and kind presence through a hectic morning. I would 100% recommend Victoria to anyone needing their make up done for their wedding.

Wedding hair & makeup

Victoria did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. She did exactly what I asked for and was so easy to work with. She was so kind and made me feel at ease during the trials. She also did hair & makeup for my bridesmaids and they were all so pleased as well. I will definitely be returning to Victoria again. Also she stayed to help me attach my veil when she could see I was struggling. Thank you Victoria

We looked amazing on our wedding day

Choosing Victoria for our wedding hair and makeup was one of the best decisions we made. From the initial trial to the final moments on my wedding day, Victoria was an absolute dream to work with.

Victoria offered expert advice and ideas that truly enhanced what we wanted. They made me feel completely at ease and created a look that was not only beautiful but also felt completely "us"

On the day, she was so calm and professional, helping to keep the afternoon stress-free and fun. My hair and makeup lasted flawlessly all day and night, even through happy tears and dancing!

I felt so confident and beautiful, and I'm incredibly grateful for their talent and expertise. I highly recommend Victoria to any bride looking for a truly amazing and talented artist.

Talented and reliable hair and makeup artist

I was really pleased my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Victoria was calm, professional and made me feel at ease. She replied quickly to my emails which really helped in the busy run up to the wedding. Guests commented on how my hair and makeup stayed in place throughout the wedding day saying how incredible it was that I 'didn't break a sweat' in the 30 degree heat! I would use Victoria again in a flash if I was going to an event and wanted my hair and makeup done.
