Exceptional hair and make up for my wedding day with the highest standards and attentiveness

Ellie has been extremely attentive, checking in on my preferred styles for hair and make up, checking at the end for any adjustments, she went above and beyond helping me manage my family on the day, helping with my shoes as a 7 month pregnant lady is harder than expected, Ellie was so kind, calming and helpful, it made the morning of my wedding an absolute joy and she exceeded my needs and expectations! I was thrilled with the outcome and felt amazing all day!

100% recommend!!

As soon as I began to plan my wedding, I knew I’d like Ellie to do my bridal hair and makeup as well as the hair and make up for my three bridesmaids. I have been following her work on Instagram for a number of years and it was lovely to experience her expertise first-hand. Ellie put me at ease during my trial – it was a good combination of looking at the ideas I had collected but also using her knowledge and experience to guide me. On the wedding day, Ellie had set up before we’d even arrived and embraced our fun but chilled morning! All of our hair and make up lasted the whole day, even with some questionable evening dance moves!! Thanks again, Ellie, I would always recommend you x

The very best!

I am so delighted that Ellie was part of our wedding day. From booking our hair and makeup with her, Ellie couldn’t have been more helpful and answered all my questions on the lead up to the day. We had a trial and she totally listened to my vision and made me feel like a princess! Ellie did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mam and me on the wedding day, with a clear organised schedule and even fitted my veil. My makeup and hair stayed put all day, and I was so pleased with how I looked! I’d highly recommend Ellie to any future brides to be. A beautiful soul who is so talented! Thank you so much again Ellie for making us all feel so beautiful xxx

Cannot recommend Ellie enough

My first experience with Ellie was at my sister’s wedding, where I was a bridesmaid. I’ve had some interesting experiences with hair dressers as I have naturally curly hair, so I was a little wary. Ellie was so incredible that I HAD to book her for my own wedding too.
Ellie was responsive throughout the booking and trial process, I changed a couple of things and she was very flexible, nothing ever seemed too much.
She enhanced my natural curls, in all styles we tried and made me feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt!
My bridesmaids and Mum were very complimentary of Ellie’s service on the day, she was welcoming, warm and made everyone feel gorgeous.

Cannot recommend Ellie enough. If you have naturally curly hair like me and are also wary of getting your hair done, Ellie smashed all hair textures given to her on the day and never made me/us feel like my curls were a negative thing.

10/10. Thank you Ellie!!

Lovely, lovely Ellie!

Ellie was so kind and helpful, friendly to everyone, and even helped me to get into my dress when I was in a bit of a panic. We had lots of hair and makeup to do and Ellie and her colleagues were amazingly punctual but still had great attention to detail and an eye for quality. Could not be happier with how everything turned out!

So happy with my wedding hair and makeup!

Ellie was very professional and helped me create a truly beautiful look for my wedding. Initially I was unsure exactly what I wanted, but she patiently guided me and gave helpful suggestions. Her attention to detail and expertise were invaluable and I felt so perfected and beautiful on my wedding day. She took all the stress away and made me feel very at ease. Highly recommend her makeup and hair services.

Perfection!

Ellie did hair and make up for myself, my maid of honour and my mum on my wedding day in December. I had a trial with Ellie back in September and she brought my vision to life perfectly!! We kept everything pretty much the same but made a some small changes on the wedding day and it Ellie was so kind and accommodating! She was on hand throughout the process to advise me on things such as the best hair extensions (this is something I really wanted). It was very stormy and windy on my wedding day and Ellie ensured my hair was not going anywhere, it looked exactly the same by the end of the night!

I couldn’t have been happier with the result, I’ve never felt so beautiful! Ellie is such a fantastic HMUA and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Absolutely brilliant!

Ellie was recommended by my usual hairdresser and what can i say other than wow!
Being an older bride i didn't want to be covered in makeup, trying to look 30 years younger and not myself. Ellie listened and advised me and the end result for me and my two daughters who were bridesmaids was stunning ; people said i was glowing and i felt amazing.
Thank you Ellie; you are awesome!

Bridal Hair & Makeup

I cannot recommend Ellie enough for your bridal hair and makeup! She was truly fantastic. My hair and makeup stayed flawless from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., still looking as fresh as when it was first done.

Not only is Ellie incredibly talented, but she’s also so kind and genuinely cares about making you feel as amazing as you look. She’s the perfect choice for your special day!

Loviest and professional hair and make-up artist

Ellie is such a lovely and polite hair and make up artist. When it came to finding a hair and make up artist, I had no idea where to start. I searched on the local Facebook group and Ellie was the most recommended. I messaged Ellie and she responded very quickly. She was so polite and clear with her prices. I had my hair and make up trial done and Ellie turned up on time. She listened to what I wanted and delivered it perfectly. When it came to the wedding day Ellie also did my mums hair and make up and my 3 bridesmaids make up. Everyone loved their finished look. I suffer bad with anxiety and can't hand stressful and busy environments. Ellie made a schedule for everyone so the morning ran so smoothly and was very chilled. It really put my nerves at ease. All our hair and make up lasted all day and night. I could not recommend Ellie enough

Beautiful hair & makeup

Ellie was extremely professional from start to finish, made me feel so at ease having my make up and really listened to everything I asked for. Whenever I changed my mind or wanted to tweak something, Ellie took this on board and made my bridal vision come to life. I had my makeup done early in the morning, then come midnight it still looked perfect and my hair stayed in all day.. I couldn't recommend Ellie enough, having someone to do both your hair & makeup just ticks 2 things of your list and she just felt like a friend I'd known for ages on the big day rather than a supplier. Book your trial in and Im sure you won't regret it.
