​Melissa did a fantastic job for myself, two bridesmaids and my mum on my wedding day.

Melissa instantly got the brief and executed beautifully.

I felt amazing on the day.

​Thank you Melissa.

Melissa did my wedding hair and makeup, along with 4 bridesmaids and MOB makeup. She was incredibly professional and very receptive to all my feedback and adjustments. As someone who loves to do my own makeup I was a bit nervous about handing over the reigns to someone else – but Melissa did the trial, took on my feedback and delivered amazingly on the day.

She also really has a way with hair, and can defy the laws of physics amazingly.

Finally, my mother was a little nervous about getting her makeup done as an older woman who doesn’t wear any coverage usually. She came away from her experience feeling 10/10 and looking 10 years younger (without looking like she was caked!). Melissa did a great job of creating naturally beautiful looks, and ensured every feedback was taken onboard.

​I can’t give Melissa enough praise.

From the initial emails to booking, attending the hair and makeup up trail and the wedding day itself, she was absolutely amazing. She truly captured my vision and I was madly in love with my hair and makeup - I had so many compliments on the day!

I’d also like to thank Melissa for being a calming presence on the day and psyching me up even though we had some showers during the morning of my wedding day.

I couldn’t recommend her enough!

​Melissa was so kind and made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day.

I had the most chilled morning and Melissa was so calm and attentive.

From the trial all the way to the day, she was amazing. She gave me exactly what I asked for and my hair was so beautiful. I really felt my best.

I would 100% book Melissa again and again.
​Thank you so much!

​Can I just say, I was so lucky to have Melissa for my make up and hair stylist for my wedding. All my bridesmaids wanted to be her best friend. My mum who is such and anxious woman , was in love with her and the makeup she'd done.

She is so understanding, her photos can tell you how talented she is, but more importantly, as an anxious, introverted bride, Melissa made me feel like a Disney princess, a Hollywood star and the most important person on earth that day without putting me on the spot or making me feel uncomfortable .

​I was so lucky that she was available for my wedding and honestly couldn't recommend her enough for any event. Please book in early as she is so busy ♥️♥️♥️ (as you could probably guess).

​Melissa was fantastic! She did the most gorgeous hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honour and my mum, and I got so many compliments on it through the day whilst still feeling like I looked like myself! The hair and makeup held up perfectly despite tears and the dance floor. She was also a wonderfully relaxed presence at the trial and on the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend her to anyone - thank you so much Melissa!

Melissa did the most amazing job with my hair and make-up for my wedding day! She was so calm, positive and genuinely took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted.

She also did such a wonderful job of helping to calm my nerves in the lead-up to the ceremony, which I really appreciated.


My hair and make up looked absolutely perfect, and I was so impressed with how well everything stayed in place throughout the entire day (and evening!).

​I couldn’t have been happier with the final look.


Thank you so much, Melissa, you were amazing!

​Melissa was an absolute dream to have as my hair and makeup artist on my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a lovely, calming energy and the best vibes to our morning getting ready.


She completely brought my vision to life and gave me my absolute dream wedding look. I genuinely felt like a princess and couldn’t have been happier with my hair and makeup. Not only did she make me feel amazing, but she also made my mum and bridesmaids look absolutely stunning.

Melissa is incredibly talented, professional, and such a lovely person to have around on such a special day. She made the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and memorable. I can’t thank her enough for helping make our wedding morning so perfect. I would recommend her to any bride in a heartbeat!

My experience with Melissa was a dream from start to finish. I was a little nervous for my bridal trial but Melissa put me at ease and I really enjoyed the experience. On the day of my wedding, Myself and Bridal party could not have been happier with Melissa’s, we all felt beautiful. Melissa went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy with their hair and makeup and felt 100% comfortable and confident. As the bride I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on my special day! Forever grateful xx

​I have been lucky enough to be a bridesmaid a few times for my friends so have had a few wedding get ready mornings, and they have never gone as smoothly as yours did!

You and the team were so efficient and ensured we had loads of time to really enjoy the morning and some celebratory drinks before we headed off which set us all up for the perfect day.

The girls looked absolutely gorgeous and were all so happy with their hair and make up, and I felt great too!

You were all so lovely and warm and welcoming too and we loved having you with us!

​The biggest thank you xxx

​Melissa is a lovely lady, I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, she was so friendly, lovely, and professional, and I felt she genuinely cared about making my wedding day special. She listened carefully to my ideas and absolutely brought my vision to life, creating a look that made me feel confident and beautiful.


On the morning of the wedding, she had such a calming presence and instantly put me at ease. Not only did she take incredible care of me, but she also supported my entire bridal party, helping everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and looking their absolute best.

She became such an important part of our wedding day and contributed so much more than just hair and makeup. I am so grateful for her talent, kindness, and support, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any future bride. Thanks Melissa and I hope our paths cross again!

I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding day!


From the very first consultation to the morning of the wedding, Melissa was professional, friendly, and reassuring, making the whole experience completely stress-free. She took the time to understand exactly the look I wanted and absolutely exceeded my expectations.

My hair and makeup felt like the best version of me, natural, elegant, and long-lasting. Everything stayed perfectly in place from the morning preparations right through to the final dance, despite all the happy tears and hours of celebrating! Not only was Melissa incredibly talented, but she also created such a calm and enjoyable atmosphere while getting ready, which made the morning even more special. I received so many compliments throughout the day and felt confident and beautiful from start to finish.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to any bride or anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely lovely hair and makeup artist. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so unforgettable!

​​I found Melissa through instagram and contacted her instantly after falling in love with her work on her page, her style was exactly what I had been looking for. Then after meeting her for my trial I knew I'd made the right choice.


Melissa made me feel so comfortable and created the most flawless make up that still felt like me which is exactly what I wanted. Then on top of that she is also extremely talented at styling hair, listened to how I wanted it and created a beautiful style that lasted all day/night!

Melissa is not only incredibly talented but also really lovely and a calming presence to have around on the morning of my most important day. My girls were also so happy with their styles and none of us felt stressed due to her well thought out timings!

I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for an amazing hair and make up artist, she really is fantastic!

​Melissa was amazing!!!

Through from the initial chat, to the trial and then on the day - she’s so easy to talk to and friendly, the time just slips away!

I genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough, she made myself and my army of bridal party feel 10/10 💘🫶🏻

​I cannot recommend Melissa enough!

From the trial day through to the wedding morning itself, she was just absolutely incredible.

She nailed the exact look I wanted straight away, she just got it from the start.

My makeup lasted the entire day without touching it up, and I genuinely loved both my hair and makeup, i wouldn’t have changed a thing, i felt so amazing on the day and it is down to her.

But beyond the talent, Melissa was just such a lovely, warm person to have around on the morning. She made the whole getting-ready experience feel calm, special, and really fun, exactly what you want on your wedding day.

If you're looking for a wedding hair and makeup artist, book her. You won't regret it!

Where do I start!!

Melissa was absolutely incredible, from the moment I booked through to the trial and my big day, absolutely faultless!

On the wedding day she protected my peace when things got a bit chaotic around me, allowing me the time when my hair and makeup was being done to simply relax and take the day in. My hair and makeup stayed put through many tears, hugs, kisses and dancing all night.

I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life.


Melissa, truly thank you!

To all those brides who want to look like yourself, but on the best day, I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa.

​Melissa did a fantastic job with my bridal makeup. I don’t usually wear makeup but wanted to feel special on my wedding day.
It was important to me that I looked like me to my family and friends as well as looking nice in the photos.

I told Melissa I was going for a country style wedding and wanted something simple and elegant and a bit rosey on the cheeks. She got exactly what I meant!

She did all my bridesmaids makeup at my family home and it was a relaxed and fun part of the day.

I was thrilled with the end result and would recommend Melissa to any bride!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Melissa do the hair and makeup for our bridesmaids, and she was incredible from start to finish. She really took the time to understand what each person wanted and brought their ideas to life beautifully.

Everyone felt so confident and happy with their final look, and it was amazing to see how well everything held throughout the entire day. Melissa was warm, professional, and so easy to work with, which made what would’ve been a really stressful morning easy going and enjoyable.

Thank you so much, Melissa! We really enjoyed working with you.

​Melissa did mine and my bridal party hair and make up and she did not disappoint.
Our make up trial was booked in advance to go over everything I wanted and Melissa did such a good job we didn’t need to change anything.
On the day of the wedding Melissa was brilliant. She joined in with everyone making us all feel at ease and the results were perfect.
Do not hesitate to book Melissa for your wedding!

​It was wonderful having Melissa as part of my wedding team! Not only is she really welcoming, friendly and lovely to talk to but she took the time and effort to figure out what worked best for me during our trial so that on the day it was all just a breeze and enjoyable!

My make up stayed completely intact long into the night and looked great in the photos.

​Melissa and Scarlet were a joy to have around in the morning of the wedding and brought a real sense of joy and calm.

​10/10 Melissa was amazing in the trial and on the wedding day! Made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and fitted in so easily on the day that felt like she was part of the group.

Makeup and hair for all of us was amazing and made us feel our best selves. No cakey feeling or looks with the makeup and both hair and makeup lasted all day.

If I ever have another event and need makeup doing I would be going again. If you want to feel and look your best go with Melissa!! <3
