Melissa and Lauren were a great team, and were a lovely part of our morning getting ready. We all looked and felt beautiful, and the atmosphere was fun but calm. Melissa was great at my trial, and really listened to what I wanted and helped me get it. Couldn’t recommend her enough. - RACHAEL GRIFFITH , 7TH SEPTEMBER '24 |

I cannot recommend Melissa enough. She did hair and make up for my daughter, my best friend and me – the bride. Melissa was lovely and relaxed and worked around us with no stress which put us all at ease. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup and didn't have to top up once! I felt like a princess. I would highly recommend Melissa; not only is she kind, approachable and caring she is extremely talented and the perfect person for your wedding day.

Melissa did mine and my 8 bridesmaids hair for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. From the hair trial we tried a few different styles and coming away from that I felt at complete ease and knew my hair would be great for the wedding day. I can't thank Melissa enough and would definitely recommend her services! Thank you! - NATALIE TARRANT , 30TH AUGUST '24 |

I recently had the pleasure of working with Melissa for my wedding day, and I couldn't have been happier with the results! From our initial consultation to the big day itself, she was professional and attentive.
Melissa took the time to understand what I wanted, offering helpful suggestions while ensuring I felt comfortable. On the day of my wedding, she arrived punctually, bringing a calm energy that helped ease any pre-wedding jitters. My hair and makeup looked absolutely wonderful and lasted throughout the day and night. I received loads of compliments from friends and family! I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive and personable hair and makeup artist. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! - LISA LINOSSI , 24TH AUGUST '24 |

Melissa was the most amazing hair and make up artist! I absolutely loved the way she did my hair and make up. She was so professional and friendly. She put me at ease when we first met for the trial. She had a look through all the inspo photos I had and took all of them on board. She was so amazing on the day with doing my bridesmaid and mom’s make up and hair (along with her assistant) as well and helping me to keep track of all the timings of the morning, eg when the bridesmaids needed to get into their dresses etc. She was also so lovely when my daughter wanted to come and see what was happening, she gave her a makeup brush to play with and was still able to work on my hair and make-up while I was holding her! I would 1000% recommend Melissa! I cried all the way down the aisle and my make up was still perfect for the photos during and after the ceremony. - ANOUSKA AMERATUNGA , 22ND AUGUST '24 |

Melissa has been the most amazing makeup artist and hairstylist, from when I first enquired, up to our wedding day. She is knowledgeable and experienced in her field, and I felt immediately reassured when she answered my questions and made plans regarding my concerns. The trial was really helpful and it gave me a good insight as to how it would be like on the wedding day. Melissa made me feel comfortable both during the trial and on our wedding day. On the day, Melissa and her colleague, Lauren, arrived early and brought quite a relaxed atmosphere with them. Speaking with Melissa while she was doing my hair and makeup helped with my nerves, and she also lent an extra hand as I was getting ready to come out for the first look. I cannot thank Melissa enough for her job well done. I highly recommend her as she helped me feel confident and beautiful on our wedding day. She’s brilliant! - SHIRLEY DELORES , 8TH AUGUST '24 |

I cannot thank Melissa enough for making me feel so amazing on my wedding day ❤️❤️ At the trial for my hair and make up, Melissa listened to all my preferences and had excellent expert advice to make the perfect wedding look. Melissa made me feel at such at ease on the morning of my wedding. She was so professional, warm and friendly. I could not recommend Melissa enough 🤍 Thank you so much Melissa, i am so grateful for your services ❤️❤️ - SOPHIA CROFT , 2ND AUGUST '24 |

Wow, where do I start!? I can not recommend Melissa enough - she really was the most perfect hair and make up artist any bride could wish for! She helped make me, my four bridesmaids, the Mother of the Bride, and Mother of the Groom, all feel our very best. Melissa, and her incredible colleague Lauren, were able to perfectly re-create all of my bridal parties desired looks, taking so much care to help them feel both natural and special. All of the bridal party looked flawless for the whole wedding (even at 1am after lots of dancing!) and we had so many compliments from our guests about our hair and make up. Not only is Melissa an incredibly talented professional - she is also such a lovely and kind person, and she makes you feel completely relaxed and at ease throughout (it really was like having another friend join us for the wedding morning!). She went above and beyond from the very moment I first reached out, including: staying longer to touch up my make up after some first look tears; squeezing an extra make-up slot into the morning timetable with no stress at all; and showing my bridesmaids how to remove my veil while keeping my hair beautifully in tact! I have honestly never felt as beautiful as she made me feel on my wedding day (and don't think I ever will), Thank you Melissa for making it so special - I will forever be grateful for you!

Melissa, Tara and Lauren were absolutely incredible from start to finish! I was a bit nervous at first because I had a huge wedding party, myself, 8 bridesmaids, 1 mother and 1 flower girl for a 12:30 ceremony. I need not have been worried because Melissa and her team ran the whole thing like a military operation from start to finish and I didn't have to organise a single thing. We even had time to spare at the end for some photos in the bath tub at the hotel. It all felt very chilled and not rushed at all. My hair and make-up were absolutely perfect, I couldn't have asked for more and all my girls loved theirs too. Don't even think about it, just book, you won't regret it. Thank you so so much Melissa, Tara and Lauren - you were all amazing.

I can't recommend Melissa enough for wedding hair and makeup, I was so happy with the look she created for me and have never felt more confident. Melissa also did an incredible job with the bridesmaids' hair, creating individual styles which looked amazing. She was happy to do any last minutes changes or touch ups. Melissa was such a calm presence on the day, her special talent is she is able to create beautiful hairstyles without the typical lengthy process, I don't know how she does it but it meant we had time to spare, it never felt rushed and we were are able to relax on the day. Melissa is also such a friendly, easy going person to be around, for someone who isn't usually in to hair and makeup, Melissa made me feel at ease and kept it chilled throughout. She was so accommodating with the trial date, as I had limited availability, and helped me decide on what l wanted. She then was very happy to make any tweaks on the day. Your hair and makeup artist is hugely important for setting you up for the rest of the day, not just because of the look they create, but the atmosphere they create also, and Melissa is someone you want around on your wedding morning. Thank you so much Melissa! HANNAH WIERINGA , 29TH JUNE '24 |

Melissa was absolutely brilliant doing mine and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup on my wedding day in June. She is so talented, efficient, professional and friendly, and she really listened to what me and my bridesmaids wanted pre wedding and the day itself, and was more than happy to make any tweaks or adjustments. She also went the extra mile in helping with my veil, getting me into my dress and stayed to ensure any touch ups could be done before the ceremony. Thank you so much Melissa for making me feel the best I’ve ever felt, on the biggest day of my life 🥰 I’d recommend to anyone! - CAMILLA WAKEFORD , 21ST JUNE '24 |

Melissa is wonderful! Melissa made planning my wedding from abroad extremely easy. She had a flexible schedule and it was easy to do my trial with her and she was very open to feedback and made great suggestions. My hair and makeup came out stunningly on the day as well as my bridesmaids and my mom! Melissa was so easy to work with, quick, and made everyone look their best! I highly recommend using her! - EILEEN CANNON , 1ST JUNE '24 |

We hired Melissa for my wedding on Friday and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Melissa styled my sister (MOH)‘s hair, another of my bridesmaid’s hair, as well as full face of make up and hair styling for both myself & my mum. Melissa was professional and friendly from the outset and completed stunning looks for all of us. She checked in along the way to ensure we were happy with what she was doing, and the final looks were all absolutely gorgeous. My hair and make up stayed all day (from 12.30pm until 1.30am!) and I didn’t need to touch anything up other than a little lipstick after the wedding breakfast. I 100% recommend Melissa for your upcoming weddings! - BOBBIE GORDAN , 31ST MAY '24 |

I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough! From the initial trial to the big day, she was absolutely fantastic. I initially had one idea in mind, but after the trial, I completely changed my mind. Melissa was incredibly accommodating and created the most perfect look for me. On the morning of my wedding, she was a calming presence and made me feel completely at ease. My makeup and hair looked flawless all day long. I was initially worried about finding a makeup artist who could do Asian skin tones and features justice for my wedding day, but I needn't have worried! I wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride, especially those with Asian skin. - REEMA DESAI , 21ST MAY '24 |

I just wanted to say thank you so much for making me and my bridesmaids feel amazing on my magical day. You made us all feel so relaxed and organised! The way you helped with all the final touches, was just amazing and I would recommend you a million times over Thank you again, with lots of love Mrs S xxxx - SUE STOCKMAN , 18TH MAY '24 |

I cannot thank Melissa and her team enough for the amazing job they did at our wedding. From the trial to the morning of, Melissa made me feel totally at ease. I was a little worried about fitting hair and make up in for 7 women before a 1pm start, but we didn't feel rushed at all. We started at 9 and had time for a glass of fizz together before walking down the aisle. The ridiculously early start on the morning of your wedding is a myth ladies, Melissa is here to prove it.
And I loved the look Melissa created - I felt elevated but still me. I wear makeup most days but have only had professional a couple of times. I struggled to know what I wanted until I had my trial. Melissa created a beautiful look on the trial and then spoke it through with me to help me understand the changes I wanted to make to colours and coverage on the day. Without as much as a prompt on the day, she remembered all the changes I wanted and created something I couldn't have been happier with. I really did feel amazing. And I LOVED my hair on both the trial and day! The bridesmaids looked stunning - all with different styles unique to them. And there were so many personal touches from Melissa - helping bridesmaids with no idea what they wanted, helping us match flower colours to bridesmaid dresses and so much more. The perfect balance of calm, supportive and allowing us to have the most amazing morning. THANK YOU xxx - HANNAH VICTOR , 17TH MAY '24 |

Cannot thank Melissa enough for being there to do the hair & makeup for me, my 5 bridesmaid and the mother of the groom on the wedding morning. We all loved every moment and felt so special after, she was amazing from start to finish, kept us all nice and calm in the morning at Primrose Hill Farm and listened to everyones different preferences. Can't recommend her enough for anyone looking for a professional for their hair & makeup xx - AMY MARTIN , 11TH MAY '24 |

Melissa was amazing with everything she did for our wedding! She did hair and make-up for myself, both mums and my sister and everyone looked amazing. At the trial, she put us at ease straight away and listened to us rambling on about how we don't wear much make up and have no idea what we wanted, creating styles that made us both feel comfortable and not 'overdone'. She listened to adjustments I wanted to make for the big day and the result was incredible. I have never felt so pretty in my life before, I got so many compliments all day and the hair and make up lasted till the end. Her calm manner on the morning of the wedding also helped enormously, adding that much needed calming touch to the chaos that is a wedding morning. Thank you so much Melissa! - SARAH KOSLOWSKI , 18TH APRIL '24 |

I chose Melissa for my bridal hair and make up after such a wonderful experience the morning of my sister's wedding. She not only makes you feel so comfortable (I don't usually wear very much make up), she also has a high attention to detail and listens to any changes you want. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!! - YVONNE RUMBLE , 13TH APRIL '24 |

Melissa did my bridal hair and makeup and hair and makeup for my bridal party - she was wonderful from start to finish. The initial appointment was so relaxed, she had loads of good ideas and encouraged me to say if there was anything I wanted different. On the day she was lovely and relaxed and worked around us with no stress. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup and didn't have to top up once! I would highly recommend Melissa, she is extremely talented and the perfect person for your wedding day.

Melissa is an absolutely fantastic hair and make up artist. She did hair and make up for me, my bridesmaids and mum for my wedding in April 2024 and we were all absolutely thrilled with what she had done for us. Melissa gave me exactly the look I wanted and really made me feel like the best version of myself.
Melissa was also an absolute delight to have with us in the morning whilst getting ready. She was such a calming influence and made sure we were ready with plenty of time! I could not recommend Melissa more! Thank you again! - KATHERINE MACKAY, 6TH APRIL '24 |

Melissa was amazing throughout the whole experience, I booked Melissa after being let down last minute by another hair dresser, Melissa made space for my trial at short notice and made me feel at ease! Melissa was professional, kind and beyond helpful on the day, giving advice on the best time to get in dresses, take flowers out of the water etc! Melissa ensured we were all happy with our looks before leaving! Melissa - thank you SO much, we all thought you are brilliant and will be recommending you in a heartbeat 💓 x - ZOE BROWN , 28TH MARCH '24 |

Melissa is an absolutely amazing hair and make up artist and did mine, 4 adults and a child’s for my wedding. She made us all feel comfortable from the moment she arrived. Melissa always made sure everyone was 100% sure about their hair and makeup up and was happy to change or touch up if necessary. Melissa was very accommodating for my personal situation and made us all feel very relaxed. It was a relaxed and chilled morning where nothing was rushed. I would 100% use Melissa in the future and recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Melissa - LAUREN PAIN, 23RD MARCH '24 |

Melissa is amazing! I would 100% recommend Melissa for anyone looking for hair and makeup. We did a consultation the morning of the wedding and she completely understood what I like and how I wanted it to look, and the makeup was flawless! She took time, effort and care with my hair to make sure it laid beautifully and it kept until the end of the night, which isn’t always easy for my hair. Melissa is lovely and easy to talk to made you feel relaxed and calm. She was quick to respond to messages. Loved Melissa and sad I can’t have her do my hair and makeup all the time!! - LUCY BROWN , 22ND FEBRUARY '24 |

Melissa! Oh my goodness where do I start. From the first time we spoke Melissa made me feel so comfortable. A wedding isn’t something most people have any experience in planning, so it can be so daunting. I had my first makeup trial and although it was beautiful, it didn’t feel just like me. Melissa was so up for communicating with me about what could be tweaked and booked me in for a second trial so I knew I didn’t need to be anxious on the day. Not only did Melissa make me feel at ease… I had two mothers and six bridesmaids too! Melissa arranged two assistants who were equally as incredible, sorted our timetables, and ensured the morning ran like a military operation. Not only an incredibly talented artist, Melissa is also a genuinely lovely human, and I am so grateful that I found her. FIONA MACDONALD , 11TH NOVEMBER '23 |

Melissa was the wonderful HMU artist for my wedding back in early November and I cannot sing her praises highly enough! She did the hair and make up for myself, my three bridesmaids and my mum and they all looked absolutely amazing. She made us all feel super comfortable, relaxed, and just beautiful. To give a view on how amazing she is - I woke up on the morning of my wedding with my first ever coldsore and I swear it covered my entire top lip - Melissa totally took it in her stride and covered it so so well. You literally couldn’t tell I had a coldsore! My make up and hairstyle lasted all day and all night long and I felt amazing all the way until 4am when the celebrations stopped. Highly highly recommend! - BETH FOYE , 3RD NOVEMBER '23 |

I cannot say thank you enough to Melissa. I spent ages trying to find the right person and look/feel for my hair and makeup and felt pretty lost during the process. It wasn't until I found Melissa that I felt confident with my choice. I had actually seen her work without realizing it and saved it - so when I found her it was as if the stars had aligned! Melissa is so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable as well as extremely talented!!
I don't wear much make-up normally but wanted something special for the wedding. She knew just what to do! I showed her my ideas and she talked me through all the best options as well as gave tips and tricks for the day - which I'd otherwise never have known! Having the trial was so nice to see how she brought my vision to life and just getting to work with her. I couldn't believe how much like me I looked, but elevated - in a really natural way. All day long I kept catching glimpses of myself and thinking "I look so pretty" which is a big deal for me! Then the morning of the big day she arrived early and was ready to go! She did an amazing job doing my friend's hair and my mum's make-up (who was very nervous). Both of them felt so good after working with Melissa and they looked great! When it was my turn to get ready she was warm and calm and kept the mood light and fun. I love how my make-up turned out (and I got so many compliments!). She made me feel like me and feel truly beautiful, which I cannot thank her enough for. That meant more to me than she can know :) I would highly recommend Melissa - she is so very talented and she is so kind. Thank you for making me look and feel absolutely amazing. - MEGAN ALEX , 28TH OCTOBER '23 |

I cannot begin to describe how fantastic Melissa was on the morning of my wedding, doing hair and makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids and my mum. She worked with Anna, and together they were a truly brilliant team.
Melissa made me instantly feel comfortable when I went for my hair and makeup trial; she listened to my ramblings about hairstyles and tried two styles to ensure I was happy with the chosen style for the day. I can honestly say that I have never felt quite so ‘pretty’ as I did on my wedding day, and my hair and makeup both lasted the whole day. Melissa was lovely to have around whilst we were all getting ready, and she brought the perfect level of energy alongside a calm and professional manner. I can only say positive things about Melissa and would encourage any bride in the Oxfordshire area (and beyond) to book with her and you will not regret it. Thank you again. - JOANNA CHAPMAN , 21ST OCTOBER '23 |

Melissa made us all feel so at ease on my wedding morning and we loved the hair and makeup! I had lots of compliments and she really listened to what look I was going for. Melissa is so lovely and easy to be around, so much so that one of my bridesmaids has now booked her for her wedding too. Will see you again in November Melissa! xx - JENNIFER GREEN , 14TH OCTOBER '23 |

Melissa and her team were amazing. They did 7 hair and make up on the morning of my wedding and kept everything moving smoothly and we were ready earlier than planned! Melissa was super friendly and professional the whole way through planning and the morning of my wedding. They brought a relaxed atmosphere to our getting ready space and had lots of knowledge in general about wedding mornings to help us. The make up was beautiful, and lasted really well throughout the day. I had a lot of compliments and it hit the perfect matt yet glowy note. Thank you Melissa! - EMMA TILLEY , 23RD SEPTEMBER '23 |

Melissa did my makeup and hair for my wedding in September, and she was absolutely amazing!! From her instant friendliness and professionalism, to her calm and helpful guidance at my trial (…and answering questions afterwards), to her amazing abilities on the day - she was such a dream to work with. I’m not a big glam girl, but wanted to look special on our wedding day, and Melissa’s ability to create elegant, elevated natural looks was a perfect fit. She created such beautiful, complimentary hair and make-up styles for myself, my five bridesmaids, our two moms, and even our two little flower girls. And I loved how calm, flexible and considerate Melissa was - she listened thoughtfully to everyone’s preferences, put any nerves at ease, and made everyone feel great. When she finished ahead of schedule, she even offered to stick around for touch ups just to make sure we were set. Thank you x1000 for all your help on our big day. Definitely recommend her for any wedding!

Where do I even start! Melissa, throughout the whole process of doing my wedding hair and makeup, conducted herself with such professionalism, but most importantly, was the most friendly, lovely lady and made me feel so at ease! I went into the hair and makeup trial very nervous but as soon as I met Melissa she made me feel so comfortable. She listened to preferences, asked all the right questions and as a result I ended up with a look I was truly happy with! She was so friendly on the day and really did calm my nerves when I certainly needed it! Thankyou so much Melissa! - AMY BAILEY , 8TH SEPTEMBER '23 |

Melissa did my bridal hair and makeup and the hair and makeup for my 2 bridesmaids and mother and what can I say other than WOW.
Not only only does Melissa have amazing talent for hair and makeup, she's also the most friendly woman to have as part of your getting ready process. She was knowledgeable, understanding of everyone different needs and an absolute pleasure to be with on the morning of my wedding. Nothing I asked for was an issue, even when I changed how I wanted my hair after our trial together. She was understanding when I said I'd prefer to do my own eyelashes and lips for the day and made sure the rest of my makeup tied into this. My bridesmaids and mother also couldn't speak highly enough of Melissa and we all agree that if we ever need hair and makeup done for a wedding again, she will be the first person we'd call. I have never felt as pretty as I did on my wedding day and this can only be put down to Melissa's amazing passion for hair and makeup! Her 5 start rating should not go unnoticed and I will certainly be recommending to friends in the future! -LUCIE GRIFFIN , 19TH AUGUST '23 |

I hired Melissa to do my hair and makeup for me, my mum and my bridesmaid for my wedding day. On both the trial and the day itself, she was so friendly and made us all feel so comfortable. She was such a help to us on the day - even helping to pin my dad’s buttonhole before we left. Our make up looked beautiful - we wanted our make up to look like it had been professionally done, but still natural and not too glam. She did this, and it stayed perfect throughout the day and night. We each had different hair styles and lengths and she made us all look elegant and special. I would highly recommend hiring Melissa for your wedding day. - RACHEL BRAY , 28TH JULY '23 |

Thank you so much Melissa for my hair & makeup on my wedding day.
Everything about Melissa's approach was perfect. The trial in her beautiful studio was really fun and relaxing - and I really valued her input and attention to detail to create the perfect look. Melissa's presence on the day was amazing - calm, professional, orderly. She made sure everything ran to time and was also really helpful in sharing her expertise - making sure bridesmaids & my Mum got dressed in good time! She even managed to touch up a bruise that had appeared on my arm. Nothing was too much trouble, my Mum, the bridesmaids and I all felt amazing and most importantly like the best version of ourselves. I cannot recommend Melissa enough. - MARIA NEWSOME , 22ND JULY '23 |

There are no words to fully capture how beautiful I felt on my wedding day, thanks to the incredible make-up by Melissa. Melissa was a lifesaver and came to my rescue weeks before my wedding when my previous stylist was unable to do it anymore. Because of the timeline, we weren’t able to meet for a trial beforehand but that didn’t matter. Melissa took the time to still get to know me via email, learn about my vision for the wedding day and understand my day to day style. Upon arrival, she was kind and engaging. We had a few issues with electricity at the hotel which impacted our schedule slightly—she was so flexible and accommodating and joined us in laughing about the challenges. Even with the factors outside our control, she did such a beautiful job with my make-up. She also listened to the requests of my sisters and Mom, making everyone in the party feel our very best. We glowed all day! There were lots of tears, laughter, and joy experienced throughout the day, with our make-up looking just as good at the end of the night as it did at the start. I highly recommend Melissa and will be forever grateful for the role she played in making my day so special.

Melissa was the perfect hair and makeup artist for my wedding! She delivered exactly what my bridesmaids, mum and I asked for and was happy to offer us advice or tips throughout the process. We all absolutely loved our looks and everything lasted until midnight, despite it being the hottest day of the year.
Her positivity and optimism kept us calm all morning and she didn’t even mind my cat rummaging through her makeup and baby going through her hair products! Thank you, Melissa, for making us all feel beautiful. My mum can’t wait for you to do our hair and makeup again on her wedding day! - SOPHIE MORRIDGE , 24TH JUNE '23 |

Melissa was absolutely fantastic to work with. I really enjoyed my trial, as Melissa listened to everything and allowed me to try all options. On my wedding day, Melissa recreated the look and I couldn’t have been happier! Both the hair and make-up lasted all day and well into the night. The whole bridal party were incredibly happy and we all received many compliments. Thank you, Melissa for being exactly what I had always hoped for on my wedding day - a joy to work with and the perfect bridal look! - ZOE CARRETT , 2ND JUNE '23 |

I could not have been happier with Melissa and the service she provided on my wedding day. She did my bridal hair and make up as well as the hair for my three bridesmaids.
On the day of the wedding day she arrived on time and provided a clear schedule for the morning to make sure I was not late for the church. She is very easy to chat to and fit in perfectly at my parents home as we spent a relaxing morning preparing for the wedding. Each of my bridesmaids was very happy with their hair and said that it made the occasion feel even more special. Melissa was also great at communicating during the whole process. She was very understanding and flexible with me adding things to the order and only initially depositing on what I definitely knew I wanted. The trial was very useful. I was not sure whether to have bridal make up but Melissa was very reassuring and did not try to upsell this. After the trial I felt very confident and decided to proceed with the make up as well as the hair, as Melissa had provided a very natural look. I felt fantastic on my big day and my hair and make up did not falter. I would highly recommend working with Melissa for your big day! - EMILY RUMBLE , 27TH MAY '23 |

Melissa was everything I could have wished for as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. When we met at the trial I knew instantly we’d get on and she made me feel totally at ease and I had total confidence in sharing what look I was going for as well as giving her own advice and making it all a reality. This translated to the morning of my wedding when (despite terrible planning on my part, sorry!) there were issues with parking- she was totally unflappable and just so lovely and fun, along with the bridesmaids we had a great time. Melissa made me feel really special and her pleasure at seeing me in the dress and everything all together was so genuine- she was lovely. My bridesmaids were also so happy with her expert skills, which shone through, for the rest of the day, everyone was so complimentary of what she created- which withstood many tears, and endless dancing. She was amazing- everything you would ever want. Thank you xx

I cannot thank Melissa enough for my amazing hair and makeup for my wedding. From initial contact, our trial, communications in the run up to the big day, to the wedding itself, she has been incredible. She made my mum, my bridesmaid, and myself so comfortable and we all loved our finished looks. I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough, she's fab! X - HANNAH PRIOR , 14TH APRIL ' 23 |

Melissa was absolutely amazing, from the trial right up until the moment she retouched my lipstick for the final time before I got in the car to leave. I cannot recommend her enough, it was like having another friend over as she made me feel so calm and relaxed and went above and beyond helping with other bits like getting our photos and hiding my dress. Melissa was so professional, she was set up and ready to go first thing and had everything organised. Melissa also never once minded me messaging her asking questions or exchanging ideas. My hair and makeup was flawless and still looked flawless 14 hours later, despite all the happy tears and dancing. My bridesmaids also looked incredible, we all felt like princesses and definitely felt we were treated as princesses. Everyone’s hair and makeup was just perfect, and my mum who has never had her hair or makeup done was still showing off her curls the following day as she was so happy with her look. Just honestly thank you so much for making my special day extra special xxxx - SIAN HARPER , 17TH MARCH '23 |

Melissa was absolutely incredible! From my make up trial right through to the actual day, Melissa was calm, attentive and brilliant at her job. I was really nervous about having my make up done but Melissa was so patient with me - she arrived early on my wedding day to make sure there was plenty of time to get us all ready and spend extra time ensuring I felt comfortable with every stage of the make up process. I was so happy with my bridal make up, it's exactly what I wanted! And all four of my bridesmaids looked amazing and were so happy with theirs too! Cannot thank Melissa enough and would highly recommend booking her for wedding make up!

Melissa did my hair and makeup, along with the rest of my bridal party on my wedding day and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly! Very talented, friendly and professional. She was also very flexible to our needs and even managed to squeeze in our flowergirl last minute! She made us all feel in very safe hands and we were so happy with the finished product! Would recommend her to any friend looking to get glammed up for their wedding day! - STEPHANIE RICHARDSON , 1ST OCTOBER '22 |

Melissa, just a belated thank you a million times over for transforming mine and the girls hair for my wedding. I honestly could not have asked for anything more whatsoever, it was all so effortlessly perfect and it just felt like you were one of my friends hanging out with us on the morning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. I am so grateful you ended up being my stylist. - STEPHANIE DUGGIN , 2ND SEPTEMBER '22 |

Melissa did my wedding hair and makeup trial in Jan 2022 and main event in April 2022. She also worked with my bridal party, with the support of a colleague of hers. She was fantastic to work with, super punctual and has a great selection of high quality products. I love that she listened to what I wanted - a more minimal look - and managed to transform me into my vision with just a few Pintrest snaps and a conversation. She also took feedback on board after the trial to improve my look. She offered strip or individual lashes and was super hygienic with brushes and sponges. Honestly, Melissa was a delight to have as part of my wedding day and I couldn't recommend her enough.

I can’t recommend Melissa enough! She did my hair and make up for my wedding in March and I have honestly never felt more beautiful. She listened to what I wanted and got it absolutely perfect! She was so calm throughout the morning and everyone in the bridal party agreed that we would’ve been lost without her. Thank you for making me the bride I’d always dreamed of being.

Melissa did my hair and makeup for my wedding back in March, along with my 4 bridesmaids (with support of makeup artist Taz). Melissa did such an incredible job. Her communication was top notch, and helped to coordinate the morning to fit around us. It was a pleasure to have her and Taz join our special day. The hair and makeup was amazing, and I was so pleased I still looked like "me". Would thoroughly recommend - ALICE HOLE , 19TH MARCH ' 22 |

I can’t thank Melissa enough for my hair and make up on my wedding this weekend. I have never felt so glam (but also myself!) in my life! My hair and make up stayed on / up perfectly all day, but I also wanted to mention that Melissa also kept myself and my bridal party calm all morning. She was on hand to help with last min advice on dresses / timings etc too! Would highly recommend Melissa to any bride-to-be! Emily xx - EMILY GODDARD , 12TH MARCH '22 |

Melissa did my and my bridal party’s hair in November 2021 and she was brilliant! She created exactly what I wanted and my curls lasted right to the end of the night!
She also did amazing up dos for my mum, step mum and mother in law who all absolutely loved their hair and Melissa was so nice making sure their hats/fascinators were secure. My flower girls also felt so special getting their hair done so thank you Melissa for treating them like princesses for the morning! Thanks so much again for everything you did and for generally being so lovely throughout the whole process - I’d 100% recommend you to other brides! - LAURA HARRIS , 20TH NOVEMBER '21 |

I chose Melissa for my wedding hair along with the rest of the Bridal Party and she was absolutely fantastic. Melissa listened to exactly what we wanted, she was such a lovely calm presence on the day too. And my veil stayed put even though it was a very windy November day - honestly couldn't recommend Melissa highly enough! - HANNAH KINGSTON , 6TH NOVEMBER '21 |

I booked Melissa for my Wedding this October. Melissa was so flexible over Covid and was able to accommodate my date changes more than once! She is absolutely wonderful and it was a joy to have her be a part of my morning! She did both my hair and makeup and it was exactly how I wanted it to be!! She also did my bridesmaids hair and they all looked stunning! I would absolutely, highly recommend!!! - KATE MAHER , 30TH OCTOBER '21 |

Melissa was amazing at putting me and my bridesmaids at ease. She did a wonderful job, was attentive and open to changing things. Could not recommend more! Thank you - ANVITA SHARMA , 23RD OCTOBER '21 |

Melissa did a fantastic job of both hair and makeup on my wedding day for myself and 2 bridesmaids. It really helps when you have an individual that listens to the look that you're aiming for and offers advice. I knew as soon as I'd had my trial that I'd selected the perfect person for the job and my bridesmaids were also both very happy on the day. I would highly recommend. Thank-you Melissa - STEPHANIE BERRY , 9TH OCTOBER '21 |

I booked Melissa just a few months before our wedding due to the pandemic. It was real luck to find such a great hair and make up artist available for our date and she really didn’t disappoint! I was so pleased with what she did. Both hair and makeup lasted the entire time and it didn’t need fixing at all. So pleased, would highly recommend, thanks so much Melissa! - RACHEL POWELL , 11TH SEPTEMBER '21 |

It was one of my best wedding decisions to have our hair and makeup created by Melissa. Melissa is so creative, professional and warm. She quickly became part of our bridal party, keeping us relaxed and happy. The end result was fantastic. We all looked amazing and as the bride I could not have been happier. - LOUISE EVANS , 03RD SEPTEMBER '21 |

Cannot recommend Melissa enough! She help myself and my 6 bridesmaids get ready for my wedding on 29th August 2021. From the first trial where Melissa made me feel so at ease and was able to creat the perfect look I’d dreamed of, to making me feel so relaxed yet a million dollars on the wedding morning! I felt so amazing the whole day and the hair and makeup lasted all day, even though a ceilidh band! Genuinely so happy Melissa did my hair and makeup and I wouldn’t of had it any other way!! - LYDIA HURLEY , 29TH AUGUST '21 |

Couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding day! She was great at the trial helping me find my perfect look and playing around with different styles until we found ‘the one’. Her communication was always friendly and prompt. I had quite a few of the wedding party getting hair and makeup done so she provided me with a timetable for everyone which was so helpful! She even accommodated last minute time changes with no problem. All my bridal party looked so beautiful, we all said we wished we could do this for every outing as we all felt amazing. I was quite nervous in the morning and Melissa was great at helping to organise everyone so we stayed on time and once I saw myself in the mirror all my nerves washed away, I looked the best I’ve ever looked. Thank you Melissa

Had the most fantastic experience with Melissa who did a great job capturing what I wanted and talked me through a few options. Was super pleased, but also just a lovely person to have with us on the day and helped to put me at ease - would recommend! - FIONA EVANS , 22ND AUGUST '21 |

Melissa has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was very communicative and really listened to what I wanted, as well as offering excellent advice. I decided very late on I'd like some extra help on the day as there were a lot of us to get through (myself and six bridesmaids) and she managed to find someone equally as professional and friendly, and between them they did a wonderful job. Melissa even saved the day when my floral hair piece was far too big, and tweaked and changed it until it looked a million times better and I went off for my wedding feeling very confident and happy. A huge thanks to Melissa!

Had the most wonderful experience with Melissa and would highly recommend.
She did my bridal hair and make up for myself and 3 bridesmaids. COVID has been crazy and over the past 18 months Melissa has been so accommodating and tried to make the journey as easy for myself as possible. A very calming influence on the morning of the big day and was so lovely to have around as we all got ready. My make up and hair was stunning and exactly what I wanted. Thank you Melissa xxx - LUCY TWYMAN , 19TH AUGUST '21 |

Melissa did hair and make up for myself, two bridesmaids, and my mum. She was cool calm and collected all morning which was exactly what was needed!

Melissa did an amazing job for my wedding! She did hair and makeup with her assistant for 7 people including me and everybody looked stunning. Melissa has been so prompt with replying whenever I emailed her. She uses very good makeup and hair products which lasts a long time. Melissa is so lovely and it was worth every penny. - CHARLOTTE AISTHORPE , 04TH AUGUST '21 |

Melissa is honestly the best Hair and Make-up artist any bride could ask for! She completely understood what I was looking for and made my hair and makeup look even better than I could possibly imagined! I am so grateful and you’re amazing skills and kindness really helped make our wedding day! I had a large bridal party and Melissa did an amazing job on getting extra artists and a schedule together to make the morning go smoothly. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone, thanks again Melissa you were truly amazing xxx

Melissa was absolutely fantastic, I am so lucky I found her for my wedding. During my hair and make up trial and on my big day she made me feel very relaxed and she asked me what I wanted throughout. I decided on a different hairstyle after my trial and she had no problem sorting the particular style I wanted just from a picture I showed her, and it looked beautiful. My mum, the mother of the groom, and my bridesmaids all praised her and her assistant Alice very highly and everyone looked gorgeous. Melissa was also very efficient and managed to fit in another guest of the wedding party last minute. Thank you so so much Melissa, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend you for any occasion.

Melissa was brilliant! She did my hair and make up as well as the MOTB and six bridesmaids. During both the trial and the wedding morning she was professional, made changes, kept everyone happy and calm and was just fab to be around. She was also amazing at sorting out an issue two days before the wedding due to isolation so it meant no stress for any of the bridal party which just made the day even more relaxed for us. We had SO many comments on the day of how brilliant the hair and make up was and I’ve already shared Melissa’s details with lots of other bride to be’s!! Both our hair and make up all lasted all day and for the whole night too. Thank you so much xx

Melissa, where do I even start. My hair was so so stunning, I cant thank you enough. It was exactly what I asked for and stayed perfectly in place all day long, even with the heat. I got so many compliments on my hair yesterday. My mums hair was also gorgeous. Thanks again, hopefully you can do our hairs again in the future xx - NEENA AUJLA , 19TH JULY '21 |

I don’t know where to begin with a review of Melissa’s talents as a makeup artist. Melissa really took time to listen to my thoughts and ideas at my trial and was so accommodating when I wanted to make small changes. My wedding makeup lasted all day (including the mascara despite many many happy tears)! My Mum and bridesmaids also looked really beautiful and Melissa worked her magic, without them having a trial! All I can say is a massive THANK YOU Melissa! - CATHERINE BOWERS , 16TH JULY ' 21 |

Melissa was such a reassuring and calming presence on our wedding day. She arrived right on time and for to work on the hair and make up for my 2 bridesmaids and my Mum, before doing mine. we all loved our hair and make up, and it stayed perfectly throughout the whole day and into the evening! thank you so much for everything! - EMILY JACKMAN , 4TH JULY '21 |

I found Melissa whilst scouring Instagram for hair and make up artists around Oxford - and I’m so glad I came across her! As soon as I met her at the make up trial she made me feel at ease, was so kind in her nature and so attentive to detail. We played around with a couple of looks until we found the one! On the wedding day she brought a colleague along with her to help with my bridal party makeup. The mum’s and bridesmaids absolutely loved them both, and we all felt beyond gorgeous for the day! I can’t recommend Melissa enough. It’s so special to find someone who’s amazing at both hair and make up for your wedding day, but also to find someone who is so kind and a joy to be around. My hair and makeup was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Melissa! You really did make my day xxx - GEORGIE WYATT , 3RD JULY '21 |

After my sister had Melissa for her wedding hair and make up I knew who I wanted straight away. Thank you for making me feel so pretty on my wedding day. I loved my hair and make up, it lasted all day. Would 100% recommend Melissa to anyone. Can’t wait to see you and have a catch up for my mums wedding in March Xx - CHRISTINE BOOTLAND , 28TH JUNE '21 |

Melissa was brilliant - so lovely, accommodating and talented. I got so many compliments on my wedding day about my hair and makeup, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll never look that good again! I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough...to the point where at my wedding my bridesmaid was checking her availability for her wedding later this year. Thank you Melissa . - ANDREE PAYNE , 5TH JUNE '21 |

Melissa did the hair styling for myself, my mother and 3 bridesmaids for my wedding in May 2021. She did a fantastic job and really listened to everyone’s ideas and visions, adding her expertise when needed. She was really friendly and professional. I would highly recommend! - LUCY LUDLOW , 22ND MAY '21 |

Melissa was recommended to me by a work colleague and I’m so so glad I chose her to do my bridal hair and makeup. Melissa listened to what I asked for (subtle make-up that made my eyes ‘pop’ and a up-do). She was gracious in changing things last minute to make sure things were perfect , and was always at hand answering questions for me prior to the big day. Since my wedding , my best friend has also booked Melissa! Her Covid safety is great and her relaxed , easy going yet professional manner is a joy to have around when you are getting ready for the biggest day of your life! Thank you Melissa for making me feel so wonderful on my wedding day! - ELLIE BEATON , 05TH DECEMBER '20 |

I found Melissa through a Google search and from amazing reviews, and I am so glad I did! I never wear any makeup normally, and was worried about looking too different on the wedding day. When I told Melissa this she took great time and care to talk me through the options and process, and asked what the colour scheme was, she recommended a natural look with a touch of pink on the eyes, and my word it was amazing! On the trial I even felt brave enough to add sparkle to my eyes and I loved it! It was exactly what I asked for, a lovely natural look with a hint of colour and sparkle!
For my hair I only knew I wanted half up and half down, and some form of curls. Within what seemed like a few flicks of a curling wand, she had done the most spectacular thing with my hair that I hadn't even thought possible! When she showed me the back of the hair I was literally shocked at how effortlessly beautiful it was! I had asked for something that was relaxed so that I didn't spend all day worrying about it, and as with the makeup she listened and made my idea a reality! I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa to anyone, for hair and makeup, and I'm just hoping for an excuse to use her again for an occasion as she was so lovely and friendly to be around! I was in a fluster when she arrived as I was running late and she really calmed me down and encouraged me to relax and got me all ready right on time! And not to mention she was so amazing with the constant changes with Covid, I changed venue several times and had several emails back and forth with her (which she is always very responsive which was very helpful with the covid changes), and in the end pulled it forward by a whole month with 2 days notice to beat the lockdown and even then she was able to make it! She fitted in another bride on the same day which I absolutely loved that another bride didn't have to miss out! with Melissa you are getting someone who truly cares about your special day, and she will do everything to make it special and perfect for you!! The hair and makeup stayed in place all day, nothing moved even with tears and being in an open top car on a busy road! Do not hesitate to book this wonderful lady! Thank you so much Melissa, I wish you all the best in the future! Xx - KIMBERLEY LENNON , 04TH NOVEMBER '20 |

I’m so glad I chose Melissa to do the hair and make up for my wedding. She did an amazing job for me and my 2 bridesmaids. Everything stayed perfect all day (including the false lashes) and we all looked great! Thank you Melissa for being so good at what you do. I would choose you again any day and would recommend you to anyone. - LAUREN AMUNDSEN , 17TH OCTOBER '20 |

Melissa did my hair and make up for my wedding, as well as hair for my 2 bridesmaids. During my trial I really felt Melissa listened to exactly what I wanted and understood what would work best for me.
On the day, she was a joy to have around and even managed to please my maid of honour – which is not an easy task!! I’m so pleased she was there on the day to laugh and joke with us, all while making the whole process look completely effortless. Melissa is a real natural talent and amazing at what she does. I can honestly say I’ve never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to her! - LAUREN KELLEHER , 16TH OCTOBER '20 |

Melissa made the whole experience very relaxing for my bridal hair and make-up. From the trial where we discussed ideas and tried different looks with my veil and hair piece, to the day where Melissa ensured it was going to last all day (even with face masks!) she made it look effortless. I was so pleased with the final look, just as I had envisioned, and I would recommend her to all brides to be! - SELINA DENT , 10TH OCTOBER ' 2O |

I can't thank (and recommend!) Melissa enough for how kind and professional she has been with all the many changes to our wedding this year! Melissa is absolutely lovely, really thoughtful, and extremely skilled with hair and makeup. She did the hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids and my mother for our wedding - everyone looked beautiful, confident and natural. Thanks Melissa x - PIPPA REID , 26TH SEPTEMBER '20 |

Melissa was recommended to me by my maid of honour, and I was so thrilled to have found somebody so skilled, but also patient and kind enough to really listen to my thoughts and help me keep trying different things until I was happy. I knew I didn’t want anything too glam, and was really keen on keeping it natural and not over the top, which she achieved perfectly. During my trial Melissa made me feel instantly relaxed, and let me continue tweaking ideas up to the wedding day itself. On the morning of my wedding I was sick with nerves but Melissa was so calm and reassuring, I knew I was in safe hands and she was a pleasure to spend time with, as one of the team bride party that morning. One of my bridesmaids got engaged shortly after the wedding, and has already asked me for Melissa’s details! Thank you Melissa for making me still feel comfortable and myself, but also like a real bride.

Melissa did the hair and makeup for my wedding last week (posted using husbands account). She is lovely, and was so great to work with throughout the entire process, and is very quick to respond to email or text. She arrived in plenty of time on the day and did the most beautiful makeup for me, my maid of honour and my Mum. My makeup was fresh and natural, but still glamorous enough to photograph well, and the hair she did for us was gorgeous. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I was so happy with the results. The makeup and hair also lasted through rain, sun, a three course meal and lots of cocktails, and was still flawless when I came to take it all off/brush it out at 2:30am! Really recommend Melissa for weddings or special events, thanks again Melissa! - ALEX AND MARK KISBEY , 27TH AUGUST '20 |

Melissa did the hair for my wedding, we were fresh out of lockdown, with so many compromises and letdowns. Melissa was a supplier I felt I could rely on in such a hard time for everyone. She continually got back to my emails within the day (minutes sometimes!) and always made me feel like I was in professional hands.
On the day Melissa arrived in good time and 100% COVID secure. We all felt relaxed - nothing was impossible! She did such a fantastic job - I absolutely loved what she did with us all! Can not wait to do it all again next year! - UMA THIRUCHELVAM , 3RD AUGUST ' 20 |

Melissa did mine and my mum's hair for my wedding, and despite the fact she couldn't do our make-up because of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, she was amazing! I couldn't rate her highly enough. She replicated the hairstyle exactly how I imaged it, and made me feel and look beautiful. I will recommend her to anyone in need of hair and makeup. - EMILY ARMITAGE , 1ST AUGUST '20 |

Melissa was amazing on my wedding day. She did my hair and makeup so perfectly and it lasted all day and night!

Melissa did my bridal hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. From my makeup trial to the day, she knew exactly what I wanted.

I booked Melissa for our February wedding to do hair & makeup for myself, three bridesmaids and my Mum. We had a couple of trials as I kept changing my mind about what look I wanted to go for and Melissa was so helpful in tweaking elements of the hair and makeup until we found something that worked. In the lead up to the day Melissa was great at checking in and also answering my questions! On the day, wow, I was just super happy with everything that Melissa did. We had my Mum go first, she put her at ease straight away which instantly relaxed me. My mum loves makeup but doesn’t wear a lot of it and her finished look was totally perfect for her. My bridesmaids all have completely unique styles but Melissa found a look that worked to link them all together without being exactly the same, they were all happy and looked gorgeous. My makeup looked flawless in the photos and lasted all day without feeling heavy. I’m a big cryer and am still wondering how it managed to survive my many happy tears! Hair was great too, I went for simple loose waves to compliment my dress which had a lot of detail at the top. Thanks so much for everything you did Melissa. - FRANCESCA SELF , 14TH FEBRUARY '20 |

I would highly recommend Melissa. I loved my bridal hair and makeup for my winter wedding! I also really valued how calm, kind and caring Melissa was on the day - she really put me at ease whilst also making me feel beautiful!

I asked Melissa to do my wedding hair for me and my two bridesmaids and I'm so happy I did. I went for a trial a couple of months before the wedding and showed Melissa some photos of the kind of thing I wanted, even though I wasn't fully sure of exactly what I wanted. She knew exactly what kind of thing I meant - I loved my hair and knew I'd made the right decision. She was so helpful and friendly, and took such a lot of time with me to make sure I was happy which meant that on the day itself I was so much more relaxed. On the day, Melissa also did the hair of my two bridesmaids and they each loved what she did, It was so lovely having Melissa there on the morning while we were all getting ready and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else. Thank you so much Melissa! Sophie xxx

Melissa is phenomenal! She is a gem. She looked after myself and my bridesmaids impeccably. She was so reassuring throughout the whole day, I loved her support. She felt like part of the family and I couldn't have imagined having done it without her. I felt a billion dollars, the very best version of myself. I could not recommend Melissa enough or ever put into words just how wonderful she is - she was a massive part of my wedding and I will forever be in debt to her. - ALEXANDRA ELLIOT , 7TH SEPTEMBER '19 |

Mel was incredibly professional and accommodating, she looked after me and my bridesmaids impeccably.

Melissa did my hair and make up for my wedding a few weeks ago and I would highly recommend her. She is responsive, punctual and was a very calming presence on the morning, even when I changed my mind last minute about the hairstyle I wanted! Both the hair and make up turned out beautifully - I did not feel caked/overdone and she matched my skin tone perfectly. I had a lot of compliments on the day (my photographer even said she had never seen skin look so perfect on camera before!) and more importantly it all stayed looking great until 2am! Highly recommend! - CHARMAINE MATTHEW , 3RD AUGUST '19 |

Melissa, thank you so much for my beautiful hair and makeup, they were both absolutely stunning!

Melissa did make-up for 3 of my 5 bridesmaids, and all of their hair! She also did my hair and was incredibly kind and caring. I suffer from anxiety and need control ... hence doing my own makeup. She did it step by step, asking my opinion throughout and ended up with a lovely result I felt completely confident with. Would definitely recommend xxx - LOU KILLENGRAY , 8TH JUNE '19 |

Melissa was absolutely amazing from the start. As someone who wears makeup everyday I was a bit nervous to let someone else do my makeup for my wedding but I'm so glad I had Melissa! She took my usual look to the bridal level so I looked and felt like me with that extra special something, and I felt amazing! And the hair for me and the 4 bridesmaids she created the most beautiful up-do's that looked and stayed fabulous all day! So professional, so calming on the morning of the wedding and gave so much attention to detail! Thank you!!! xxx - HAZEL BUTLER , 1ST JUNE '19 |

I couldn't recommend Melissa high enough! I had quite the bride tribe with seven bridesmaids, mother of the bride and myself the bride needing our hair and makeup doing, all in time for a 2pm wedding start time! Melissa arrived nice and early and worked her way through our party. Not only did she do an amazing job for all us ladies she was a pleasure to have around and kept the party spirits high! All us ladies were ready to go with an hour to spare. Melissa also has the additional skills of helping you into your wedding dress, my Mother had lost the plot with nerves by this point and Melissa stepped in! The trail was seamless, all the girls were happy with their looks it was a great start to a perfect day! Thank you so much Melissa Xxx

Melissa did my hair and makeup for my wedding last week, and did an absolutely fantastic job. I was quite a challenge to work with(!) as I have a LOT of hair and rarely wear make up, but Melissa listened carefully to all my comments during the trial and created a look which was PERFECT for the wedding day. So many friends and family commented on what a great job she did and I felt so confident walking down the aisle! She was also an absolute joy to have with us on the morning - very punctual and relaxed! Would definitely recommend . - GEORGIA LEWIS , 21ST JULY '18 |

Melissa did both my hair and make-up a couple of weeks ago and she made me feel absolutely stunning! I had given her a rough idea of what I wanted and she just went with it beautifully. I don't often wear make-up or do much with my hair so it was a real treat and completely topped off a beautiful day...Melissa is a lovely person who responds to emails quickly, is punctual and most importantly is a clearly talented artist! The make-up products she uses are amazing - I barely felt like I was wearing any at all - and it easily lasted all day. All blemishes were covered but I still had a very natural look without looking "caked" in foundation. I was super pleased with my hair as well and although I decided to have a hairpiece and veil last minute, it was absolutely no trouble for Melissa who incorporated both beautifully with my chosen hair style. It was great fun to have her around on the day and she had a very calming presence too. Will be recommending her to all my friends/family in the future! Thank you so much Melissa - GINGER JANSEN , 17TH JULY '18 |

Melissa did my hair and makeup as well as my four bridesmaids a few weeks ago, I was worried about time as there was so many of us but she did an amazing job and we even had a little time to spare, she made us all feel so chilled and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I would definitely recommend to everyone! - GEMMA JONES , 30TH JUNE '18 |

Melissa was an absolute star from start to finish! Super professional throughout and listened to everything I asked for without questioning. Even when I asked at the last minute to have rollers put in for more body in my hair she didn't question it. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous and I was so happy with how my hair turned out on the day. I actually kept it in the next day and it looked just as nice! Thank you so much again :) x - KATIE FLYNN , 2ND JUNE 18 |

Melissa did hair and make up for my bridesmaids and myself for my wedding in early August! It was the hottest day of the year and my make up still looked great at the end of the day. She is lovely and would book again!

A million stars and huge thanks from us!!
Melissa was amazing from the very start. A total pro! She was super lovely and helpful when we communicated all of our wedding parties requests for hairstyles and makeup for the wedding day. From the very beginning, she kept things totally straightforward and easy to organise (hugely appreciated when trying to navigate through the myriad of wedding plans!). As there were a number of us in the wedding party getting ready in the morning (and we definitely fancied a bit more of a lie-in) we were given the option to have another lovely and talented artist, Lauren, on hand, who was specially chosen by Melissa for her impeccable skill and efficiency. Thanks to Melissa and Lauren, the morning of the wedding turned out to be stress free - and fun! We simply couldn't have been happier with our flawless hair and makeup results. We all wished we could have Melissa and Lauren on hand for any/ all of our events! They kept us super calm and really helped to make the wedding day special! Thank you so much, again!! - KELLY BRENNAN , 4TH NOVEMBER '23 |
Melissa was wonderful to work with. As a bride who doesn't wear make up, I wasn't sure at all what I wanted. Melissa put me at ease completely with our trial, and gave me the look of being natural whilst also special for the day. Hair was also beautiful for myself, my mum and my bridesmaids. She was always efficient with communicating, patient with my adjusting the start time, and we were ready right on time on the day. It was just the smooth start one would want for a wedding day, thank you! - CHUER ZHANG , 26TH AUGUST '23 |

Melissa went above and beyond for me on my day. She was calm and incredibly friendly. She made me and my bridesmaids feel like princesses and came to the rescue to help sew me into my dress when it broke!! I could not recommend her enough! - REBECCA HADFIELD , 5TH AUGUST '23 |
It is really hard to put into words just how incredible Melissa was on my wedding morning. I wanted a relaxing morning and Melissa delivered, she was so friendly and seemed excited for me, which is just so lovely! She really went above and beyond, everything ran beautifully on time and nothing was too much trouble. I’m not entirely sure what I would have done without her to be honest! I got so many compliments and felt the most beautiful I ever have. Thank you Melissa! - MARGO FULFORD , 8TH JULY '23 |

Melissa did my hair and make up for my sister’s wedding. (she also did my sister’s bridal hair and make up.) She was very prompt and informative during the booking process and explained everything clearly. She arrived right on time on the day and was very efficient, I couldn’t believe how quick she was while ensuring we looked perfect! That takes serious talent in my opinion. She’s very friendly which allowed us to have a lovely relaxing morning as we got ready. My hair and makeup stayed perfect the whole day and I felt very confident thanks to her skillful work. Would wholeheartedly recommend working with her!

Melissa did my hair and makeup for my wedding in April She was absolutely amazing - friendly, welcoming, professional and very skillful. Melissa really listens and understands exactly what you're after. For me, it was important to have a relaxed glamorous look and that's exactly what Melissa did. I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa. She made me feel incredibly relaxed and special on the day. Thank you so much, Melissa x - SAMANTHA HIND , 15TH APRIL '23 |

Melissa did the perfect job for the bridal party’s hair and make up for the special day. We all received lots of compliments and I felt beautiful. She was on-time and organised.

I used Melissa for my hair and make-up, and my daughters’ make-up at our wedding this week. We were all absolutely delighted with what she did, and it lasted all day and all night, despite it being one of the hottest days of the year. Not only is Melissa incredibly talented, she is so lovely, warm, calm and kind…and it was such a pleasure to have her with us in the bridal suite. Thank you Melissa! - CAROLINE PRITCHARD , 11TH AUGUST '22 |
I booked Melissa for my cousins wedding in Oxford after finding her on Instagram. She did my hair and makeup for the wedding along with my Mum and Sister in Laws hair. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Absolutely loved my hair and makeup - with everyone commenting on how nice it was. Unfortunately I live in Scotland or else I’d be booking her time and time again!! Lovely person who makes you feel very at ease - thank you so much :) xx

Thank you so much to Melissa and her team, who did an incredible job for my bridal partys hair and make-up. They were true professions and relaxing presence on the morning of my wedding. The bridesmaids hair was beautiful and Melissa did a fantastic job with my make-up, which lasted til 1am with no need for any touch ups! Would highly recommend Melissa to any prospective brides.

Melissa is an outstanding hair and make up artist. She recently did my hair and make up for my wedding and I have never looked better! Everyone complimented my natural style make up and all of my bridesmaids looked stunning. Melissa is a talented artist and I would recommend her to all.

Melissa is very professional and super friendly. Natural makeup and hairstyle were what I requested, and Melissa truly understood what I had in mind and delivered it effortlessly. I was really pleased with how it turned out. Everything stayed up all day and I felt very comfortable having her doing my hair and makeup. I highly recommend Melissa and cannot thank her enough for my lovely hair and makeup.

Melissa did an amazing job doing my wedding hair and makeup! It was really helpful discussing styles at the trial and she created just what I wanted. She was also able to do different styles on both my bridesmaids to suit their hair length / style. My hair lasted all day and I wasn't worried about it falling out as the day went on. She was a lovely person to have around on the morning of the wedding which helped the whole morning run smoothly. I would definitely recommend.

Melissa came to my rescue after I had a last minute invite to a wedding … on a Sunday! I hate the stress of trying to do something with my unruly thin hair, but Melissa managed to work her magic with clip in extensions and created a gorgeous updo that stayed in all day! She also did my makeup which looked amazing too! Melissa was very professional throughout the whole process and would highly recommend her - thank you again xx

Melissa did my hair & make up along with 5 bridesmaids hair & make up last weekend. She was absolutely amazing, made me feel relaxed on my special day and that everything was in hand! She also helped with the little things which I wouldn’t have expected her too! I can not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a hair & make up artist for any special occasions!

We were travelling from the midlands for my brothers wedding and wanted hair and make up doing for this special occasion, its always a worry having someone do your make up who you have never meet before. However I can safely say we didn’t need to worry Melissa is a lovely friendly lady who put me and my mum at ease. Her work is amazing our hair and make up was exactly how we wanted it. My three year old sat perfectly still for Melissa and her hair was also amazing! I would definitely recommend Melissa for hair and make up she’s a superstar x

Melissa did mine & my three bridesmaids hair for my wedding in September 2018. Melissa is so lovely, kind, patience and talented! She was very understanding of my fussy ways and really helped keep me calm on my big day. She personalised the style I had requested for each of my bridesmaids to keep them and me happy, she was more than helpful, she was a star! Needless to say we all looked amazing.
Thank you so much Melissa for being a part of my big day and making us all look picture perfect x - VICKY LACEY , 14TH SEPTEMBER '18 |

Thank you so much Melissa for the beautiful work on my hair and makeup for my wedding! I was absolutely delighted with how I looked, as was my maid of honour. It was a real pleasure to spend the morning with you, as I found you (just like in the trial) super professional whilst still being relaxed and fun.
I truly appreciate the part you played in making it the best day of my life. Many thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavours. -EVA LEGOWIK , 04TH SEPTEMBER '18 |
Melissa! Thank you so much for your amazing work on my bridesmaids hair and make up for our wedding. They all looked so stunning and was exactly what I and they wanted - you literally made my wedding dream a reality - THANK YOU! It was also so fun to have you there on the day getting them all ready, thank you so much for being so great. Thank you also so much for your emergency eye lash top up for my mum and I - you saved our eyelashes. Can’t wait to work with you again, you are honestly fantastic. Thank you so so much Sophie xx

Melissa did the hair for myself (bride), my 2 bridesmaids and my Mum a few weeks ago - she was amazing!
Not only did we all love our hair, she listened to what we wanted and gave us helpful advice as to what would/wouldn’t work etc and she was great fun to be around! She was positive, relaxed and punctual (which as a stressed bride to be made all the difference!). She slotted in with our make up artist and the family on the day which again, makes a huge difference. Would highly recommend her - thank you Melissa! - FAY SUTTON , 23RD JUNE '18 |
Couldn't have asked for a better hair and make-up artist! Melissa was so accommodating, she made me feel at ease straight away and took into account the changes I requested at last minute. I think the photo's say it all, such a beautiful look and wood love to have her on hand 24/7!!! Thank you Melissa xx - EMILY LEAKE , 26TH MAY 18 |

Melissa and the team were absolutely incredible - organised, professional, extremely talented and just lovely people! They somehow managed to get me, my Mum and 10 bridesmaids ready ahead of schedule, and kept everyone calm, relaxed and feeling beautiful. Thank you so much! xxx - ALI KOUNOUGAKIS , 12TH MAY '18 |
Melissa was wonderful from start to finish - very helpful and informative at the trial and so great on the day. My bridesmaids and Mum (and mother in law) all loved their time with her and we couldn't have been happier with how she did our hair and make-up. Melissa was so easy to work with - always listening, making great suggestions and ensuring things were exactly as we wanted - as well as being a joy to have on the day. Thanks very much again.

I am so pleased Melissa did the hair and make up for my wedding. She was very professional but fitted in easily with my Mum and two bridesmaids as we all got ready in my hotel room. I don't like to wear too much make up normally, and Melissa really took my requests on board. I loved my hair - I wish I could have it like that everyday. It was fantastic to have hair and beauty all taken care of so that we could relax and get ready safe in the knowledge we were going to look our best. Thank you Melissa. - SUZANNA LANGFORD , 28TH APRIL '18 |
Melissa did my hair and make-up as well as hair and make-up for my bridal party for my wedding in April of this year and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was absolutely amazing! Melissa was exceptionally professional and attentive to all the details regarding hair and make-up that I was looking for. My bridal party was also extremely impressed with Melissa, as she did unique and beautiful hair and make-up on each person. I have had many experiences with hair dressers and make-up artists being a dancer and I can honestly say that my best experience has been with Melissa. She is exceptionally talented at what she does as well as an amazing and kind person.

Melissa was so incredible at keeping me calm, and created beautiful hair and make up for myself, my bridesmaids and my mum. She’s done my make up for nights out, for my cousins wedding and now my wedding as well, and I cannot rate her highly enough. My make up stayed in place all day and all night, and didn’t even look too bad the morning after! Our wedding day was very windy but even my hair felt secure and comfortable all day. A massive thank you Mel.
- NATALIE GAUNT , 9TH FEBRUARY '18 |
It was a great pleasure having Melissa as my hair and make up artist for my wedding on Saturday. She worked tirelessly all morning making my mum, my 3 bridesmaids and myself look fantastic. She was really friendly, professional and confident which made her unbelievably quick at producing high standard end results. Everyone was very happy about how they looked and the make up stayed in place all day. I can't wait to see the professional photos when they come out!

Thank you so much Melissa for all of your hard work on the morning of our wedding, all 7 of us loved our hair and it stayed all day and photographed amazingly! You were also a pleasure to have on the morning and actually kept me rather calm and you were very patient with us all (some of us are rather fussy). All 7 of us will be recommending you! Thanks again xxx - STEPHANIE CROCKFORD , 10TH SPETEMBER '17 |
Melissa is fantastic!! I've never been impressed with what I see in the mirror and Melissa actually made me feel great! Had so many compliments on wedding day I felt a million dollars. My make up even lasted the next day! Her patience is great and her attention to detail is fab! My bridesmaids all looked fabulous and I adore Melissa so much. I can not recommend her enough she won't disappoint. Thank you for travelling all that way Melissa and thanks for everything . Lots of love Melissa xxxxx and my bridesmaids xxx - MELISSA LEWIS , 3RD SEPTEMBER '17 |
