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!

​​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!

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

​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!

​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.

​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!!

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

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

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! Our hair and make up all looked stunning, and she catered to everyone's individual needs and personalities so well. Thank you so much Melissa!

​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.

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

​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!

​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

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

​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 .

​​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!

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. Thank you Melissa!

​-LINDELL KENNA , 20TH AUGUST '21

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.
