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. - NICHABHAT DITEEPENG , 12TH JUNE 2021
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 2O21
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 2021
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 2020
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. - REBECCAH FRATER , 29TH AUGUST '20
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 my hair and makeup for my 30th birthday celebrations. I was so pleased with her work and the overall result! Melissa listened carefully to what I wanted and ensured I was happy with every detail. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again for future events! - POPPY KANE, 23RD 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! Xxx - ZOE BOND , 22ND FEBRUARY '20
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
Melissa did a great job of my Mums makeup on her wedding day, and did all the bridesmaids as well, it was lovely to have her there on the morning, she was very quick. The makeup lasted all day as well! Thank you so much. - ASHLEIGH JADE HORSEMAN , 1ST FEBRUARY '20
Melissa did a really great job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Would highly recommend her for her skills and professionalism. Thanks Melissa x - EMILY STEELE , 31ST JANUARY '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! Extremely professional and a lovely person to have with you at the beginning of your special day. - NATALIE BURNS , 27TH DECEMBER '19
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 - SOPHIE NORRIS , 21ST DECEMBER '19
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. - CAROLINE BAYLIS , 14TH DECEMBER '19
Melissa was amazing! She knew exactly what I wanted when I had my hair and makeup trial and the result on my wedding day was incredible! I would thoroughly recommend her. Amazing results. Perfect for weddings. - KATE HARRISON , 5TH OCTOBER '19
Melissa did my wedding hair and makeup, absolutely amazing look which lasted all day. My hair has never looked this good! All my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well. Melissa was also great in taking feedback into account and creating the looks people wanted, I could not recommend her highly enough! Katja, London - KATJA NATHALIE , 14TH SEPTEMBER '19
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. She was a source of calm and reassurance on a nerve wracking morning and made me look beautiful, whilst still feeling like myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a hair and makeup artist who will slot into your day and make the whole thing run smoothly. Thanks again. - JOANNE KELLY , 31ST AUGUST '19
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! From the trial, to all the emails of me stressing and finally to my wedding day itself you made the whole process seamless and just perfect! My bridesmaids were so happy with their hair and my Mum (biggest critic of all) was overwhelmed by her beautiful makeup! Thank you - CHARLOTTE SIK , 22ND JULY '19
Melissa and the team she had for my wedding day were great! They made us so relaxed on the morning & did everything we asked for perfectly!! Melissa did an amazing job on my hair and makeup, it was more than I had hoped for as I changed my mind on what I wanted on the day ... thank you so much for everything you did!! - AMY LOUISE RENTON , 22ND JUNE '19
Melissa did my daughter's hair and makeup for her prom. The results were stunning and my daughter looked amazing. Melissa was very friendly and put my daughter at ease. I would definitely recommend Melissa. - ANDREA WILLIS , 21ST JUNE '19
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
Melissa was absolutely amazing for my wedding. Myself and the bridal party loved the results. Photo's speak for themselves! Highly recommend her. - EMILY MODICK , 10TH MAY '19
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 - JO TAYLOR , 7TH MARCH '19
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! X - HANNAH SHEFFORD , 20TH OCTOBER '18
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 - LAURA ROWE , 06TH OCTOBER '18
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
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 - FRANCINE FLETCHER , 1ST SEPTEMBER '18
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! 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 - SOPHIE PENNY , 14TH 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 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
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
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. - HANNAH ROGERS , 5TH MAY '18
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. - AMBER ROWELL , 21ST APRIL '18
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! - MISHA KABIR , 16TH DECEMBER '17

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
