MEET LAUREN
LONDON BASED HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST
My goal is simple: I want to not only hear but truly understand your vision and then do everything in my power to bring it to life. Because when you step onto that aisle, I want you to feel nothing short of amazing – confident, radiant and utterly breathtaking.
Today’s bride often seeks a look that’s uniquely her own, not overly traditional or “too bridal.” We’re moving away from overly structured updos and excessive makeup, which hide your natural beauty and create an inauthentic version of you on a day that is actually all about celebrating your true self and unique style. With over a decade in the beauty, wedding and fashion industry, I’ve dedicated myself to becoming more than just a hair and makeup artist and I’ve built a highly-skilled team who share my ethos and passion for creating personalised, stunning looks.
MY APPROACH
YOU, BUT ON THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE
I understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and I am truly honoured to be a part of it. Rooted in the philosophy that you should radiate your authentic self on your wedding day, I’m all about enhancing the natural beauty I see in you. You’re my muse and your unique features are my inspiration as I perfect your bridal look with a blend of contemporary fashion and timeless elegance. My industry skills and premium-product-only approach and commitment to building a genuine connection with every bride ensure you both look and feel incredible on your special day.
MY STYLE
EFFORTLESS. UNCOMPLICATED. TIMELESS.
My goal is to modernise the typically outdated bridal style into something chic and wearable. Think soft, relaxed hairstyles with texture and movement, complemented by radiant, glowy makeup looks that truly maximise the moment. This approach enhances and defines the beauty that’s already there, ensuring you look and feel like the most fabulous version of yourself on your special day. I believe in individuality over heavily curated looks, favouring a dewy complexion and subtly defined features – the definition of natural, effortless elegance.

DO YOU REQUIRE A MINIMUM BOOKING?
During peak season (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays), we typically require a minimum booking of the bride plus one adult for both hair and makeup, or the equivalent in monetary terms. Similar minimums apply for bank holidays, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve weddings.
DO YOU TRAVEL TO OTHER AREAS NOT LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE?
Yes, we love destination weddings and are happy to travel beyond our listed areas. Travel fees are calculated from the artist’s home and will be included in your personalised quote. Depending on location and travel time, accommodation may be required the night before.
I HAVE A LARGE BRIDAL PARTY. DO YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SERVICES YOU CAN ACCOMMODATE?
We’re accustomed to early starts but understand not everyone wants to rise at dawn on their wedding day! For larger parties or early ceremonies, we may recommend an additional artist to ensure smooth service. A fee of £150 per additional artist will apply.
WHAT BRANDS DO YOU USE IN YOUR KIT?
We curate our kit with top products from various luxury and professional brands selected for their performance and longevity. Some of our favourites include Charlotte Tilbury, Lisa Eldridge, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Glossier (makeup) and L’Oreal Pro, Osis, Hot Tools, Moroccan Oil (hair).
IS IT COMPULSORY TO HAVE A TRIAL?
Trials are optional but highly recommended. They offer a chance to explore your preferred look, ensure comfort and establish a personal connection with your artist. Detailed records of products and techniques used are kept to replicate the look seamlessly on your wedding day.
WHEN DO YOU RECOMMEND I BOOK MY TRIAL?
We advise booking your trial three to six months before your wedding day. Appointments are typically available Monday to Thursday during the day to prioritise wedding bookings. Appointments outside of these times may be considered under special circumstances but will incur an additional fee, and availability cannot be guaranteed.
WHERE WILL THE TRIAL BE HELD?
Lauren conducts trials at her home in Wandsworth Common (SW17). For & Other Artists team members, trials are held either at your home or the artist’s studio. Additional charges for travel, congestion and parking may apply as specified in the booking process.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY TRIAL?
Upon securing your booking, you’ll receive a booking form and our comprehensive Booking Guide & Trial Tips. These resources help us understand your preferences and prepare you for a successful trial.
WHAT HAPPENS AT MY TRIAL?
Your trial includes a thorough consultation to discuss your vision, needs and preferred styles. Visual references you provide help us tailor the perfect look. Detailed notes, product records and reference photos ensure consistent results on your wedding day.
CAN I TRY MORE THAN ONE LOOK AT THE TRIAL?
You may try multiple styles, though we recommend focusing on a general style or two favourites to avoid confusion and ensure a successful trial.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE WEDDING DAY?
We aim to make your experience relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring you feel pampered and prepared. Detailed schedules, set-up in advance and last-minute touch-ups ensure you look and feel your best throughout the day.

KIND WORDS
"Lauren was incredible and I am so glad I booked her!"
I really enjoyed my trial and Lauren was great at coming up with suggestions for the brief I wanted. On the day Lauren was amazing, we had so much fun getting ready and it just felt like a friend was there with you! I loved my final look, it was exactly what I wanted but 100% better! My bridesmaid and Mum also looked amazing and felt so good. My hair and make up lasted well into the evening after lots of partying too! I couldn’t recommend Lauren more for your special day!
— LOUISE CALVERT
"Lauren is a dream to work with. To say she is gifted is an understatement."
My hair and Make-up surpassed even my expectations and when the groom comments how much of an amazing job she did thats a seal of approval in itself. Aside from her amazing work, she is so friendly and relaxed and makes you feel really relaxed while she works her magic. The lead up to the day was also so efficient with constant communication and assurance. I would book Lauren over and over again and highly recommend for any bride who wants to look and feel her best on her wedding day!
— Elaine O'Sullivan
"Lauren exceeded my wildest hopes and expectations and really made me look like the best version of myself!"
She really captured and nailed every little detail that I had requested and not only understood the assignment, but went above and beyond to really transform myself, my mother and my sister on the day. If you want to look like yourself but the best you’ve ever looked, Lauren is the makeup artist for you. On top of her EXCEPTIONAL talent, she was so calm, patient, and understanding, and made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. I really can’t recommend her highly enough!
