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! She kept me so calm while we were getting ready and she also did my bridesmaids hair and they looked wonderful too. I would highly recommend Melissa, she was amazing!! Thank you again Melissa!

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. Melissa did an absolutely brilliant job - I was so pleased with the finished look, and made me feel like a princess all day. I honestly can't thank you enough Melissa! - LIBBY SHEPHARD , 20TH FEBRIARY '20 |

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 |
