FAQs.
There's no such thing as a silly question. These are some of the most common ones I get but if your question isn't here,
What experience do you have?
I was first trained at Delamar Academy in 2010 and have worked in Weddings and the Media (TV, Celebrity, Film and Fashion) now for over 10 years. This diverse experience means I can offer the latest make-up available, the latest looks in hair and make-up, vintage looks from my period drama work and much more. I have taken further courses in Hair, including one specifically for Bridal Hair. I have the skills and experience to give you stunning make-up and intricate hair that suits you while having the tools to ensure it lasts all day.
what do your prices include?
My prices include all travel up to 40 miles (elsewhere is £0.45p per mile), full use of my professional kit (with brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, Laura Mercier and NARS) along with free hair accessories such as pins, hair padding and false lashes. After your initial trial, you'll receive a full Wedding Schedule, to ensure you & your wedding party have a relaxing morning. Within your booking, I offer free gloss and glitter for under 10's as well.
WHy are your prices higher than some other artists?
My prices have been set with careful precision and comparison to ensure a fair and high-level service for my clients. With 14 years in the wedding and media industry, I offer you and your wedding party an extensive and professional experience. You can expect to make full use of my expertise in hair and makeup application, as well as my deep understanding of what to expect on the wedding morning. Years of experience have taught me many things, including the little details that make the day run smoothly—like ensuring bridesmaids are dressed in their gowns before the bride for a seamless transition to the aisle.
My vast knowledge of wedding venues and logistics allows me to help you plan and prepare for every aspect of your beauty experience. Having spent years creating bespoke hair and makeup designs, I have developed a keen ability to read people well and bring their ideal wedding look to life during their trial. My expertise extends beyond weddings; my work in media, including TV, celebrity styling, advertisements, music videos, and fashion, enables me to offer a high-end hair and makeup service that incorporates the latest products, techniques, and trends from the industry.
I run a professional and modern wedding business, showcased through a creative, seamless website that features only high-definition, professionally curated images. To ensure I can cater to both small and large wedding parties, I work with a team of elite artists, each handpicked for their skills, professionalism, and ability to match my signature style. Every assistant on my team has at least three years of experience in the industry, ensuring that every bride receives a consistent and exceptional level of service.
I'm confused about what package is right for me. CAn you help?
Yes! The larger the package, the greater the savings, with any additional treatments priced individually. If you're unsure which option is best for you after reviewing the price list, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to create a personalised wedding proposal for you. This proposal will outline the most suitable package, what it includes, and the total cost for your trial and wedding day services.
how will you look after my large wedding party?
Large bookings are always welcome and easily managed by me and my team. Over the years, I have worked with some incredible artists, and for larger weddings, I bring in these talented professionals. Each of them has at least three years of experience in weddings, and I have complete confidence in their skills. A lively, fun-filled morning with a group of giggling bridesmaids and artists is something we love to be part of! If some of your wedding party arrives later, that’s absolutely fine. To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, I provide a detailed wedding schedule months in advance, so you’ll know exactly how the morning will flow. The only thing I ask is that everyone arrives on time for their individual time slots to keep things running seamlessly.
What other services do you provide?
Hair Extensions and Semi-Permanent Lashes. Why not add Hair Extensions to your wedding style, providing voluminous and gorgeous hair styling? These can be matched and tried free of charge at your trial and then, if you decide to go ahead, can be added to your wedding day schedule. In addition, you can add Semi-Permanent Lashes. These natural, full lashes will keep you looking gorgeous and glam all day and into your honeymoon, without ever having to touch a mascara wand! Please see the Prices page for more details on both.
How will i secure my wedding date with you?
It’s important to secure your date early, especially during peak wedding season (April–October weekends), as these dates fill up quickly. Once you decide to book a trial with me, I will send an invoice for the trial fee, which is payable via bank transfer. This deposit not only secures your trial date but also reserves your wedding day in my schedule.
when do i book my preview?
Once you’ve decided to book with me, we can schedule your preview at a time that suits you. Ideally, it’s best to have your colour scheme, dress, and other key details finalised, as these can influence your hair and makeup choices. I typically recommend booking your preview anytime between one year and four months before your wedding day. This allows plenty of time for adjustments, such as changing hair colour, perfecting skin prep, or trying semi-permanent lashes, to ensure your final look is exactly as you envision.
I need some ideas for my wedding hair & make-up. can you help?
Absolutely! With years of experience, I have a keen eye for what suits different face shapes, features, and styles when it comes to both hair and makeup. If you're feeling unsure or need inspiration, just let me know—I’d be happy to email you some suggestions. We’ll also go over ideas in detail during your preview, ensuring we find the perfect look for you. For additional inspiration, Pinterest can be a great resource for discovering styles to try (and a few to avoid!).
i have sensitive or red skin. will your make-up be ok for me?
If you have sensitive skin, there’s no need to worry. My kit includes products for all skin types, including hypoallergenic foundations and skincare, ensuring a flawless finish without irritation. To achieve the best results, please let me know in advance about any skin concerns or allergies, as this will help me tailor the products I use specifically for you.
i don't wear much make-up. WHat can you do for me?
Many of my brides don’t wear much makeup daily and may feel a little apprehensive about their wedding look—and that’s completely normal! It’s important that you still feel like yourself when you walk down the aisle. That’s why, at your preview, I’ll ask you to wear your everyday makeup so I can get a sense of what you’re comfortable with. Using this as a guide, I’ll create a wedding look that enhances your features while still feeling natural to you.
With photos being taken all day, it's worth noting that very minimal makeup can cause you to appear washed out in pictures. I’ll carefully balance this while applying your makeup to ensure you look radiant both in person and on camera.
what if i need to cancel?
If you need to cancel your preview, please note that the fee is non-refundable, as it also serves as your wedding day deposit. However, you do have the option to reschedule your preview to a later date. If you need to cancel your wedding day services, the refund policy will depend on the notice period given. For full details, please refer to my Terms & Conditions.
what if i'm not happy with my preview?
We will work together to create your ideal wedding look, listening to your preferences and using my expertise to curate a finished look you adore. We can also try multiple ideas. However, if you are at all unsatisfied with the hair or make-up, then please do contact me immediately. After discussion into what we can do to alter the look, we can arrange a second trial free of charge or a reduced cost. This original fee, however, is non-refundable.
