She is amazing

Zena truly is a gem, from my wedding trial, staying in touch, supporting me on the day. Nothing and I mean nothing was too much. I have to say that I felt like I had another member of my bridal party there cheering me on, helping me into my dress and just making the morning sooooo much easier and smoother. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Zena for being my MUA and a friend for life. Love and Hugs xxx

She made my day

I couldn’t be happier with the makeup and hair artistry for my wedding last August! From the moment I met Zena, her warmth, professionalism, and talent shone through.
She took the time to understand how I wanted my hair and make-up done, making me feel completely at ease on such an important day.
The makeup was flawless—enhancing my natural features while still feeling lightweight and comfortable—and it lasted perfectly through hours of celebration.
My hair was styled beautifully and stayed in place all day, even until the following day!
She was punctual, organized, and calm during the busy morning preparations. I received so many compliments on how I looked, and it was all thanks to her incredible skills.
I highly recommend Zena to anyone looking for a talented and reliable artist who truly cares about making you feel your absolute best.

Zena was amazing and really skilled at what she does!

Zena was amazing and I’m so glad I booked with her for my wedding day! She arrived early and prepared a playlist and a lovely card for me. I really enjoyed getting ready with her help and chatting with her. She went above and beyond to help me with putting on dress and veil, as well as sharing on the day tips. I would recommend Zena to everyone!
