MEET SOPHIE
HAIR & MAKEUP ARTIST
BASED IN LONDON
ABOUT ME
My love for makeup really began when I trained as a professional dancer, when performing on stage hair and makeup was very important. I was always the person who would be helping others backstage with anything from lashes and makeup to wigs! After falling into a corporate role, I took the plunge in 2019 to follow my passion and have been a hair and makeup artist ever since!
I specialise in bridal hair and makeup and love creating sophisticated and effortless looks for the modern bride. I’m all about enhancing natural features to really show off the beauty the bride or bridal party. The best part of working in this industry is getting to help people look and feel amazing on their big day. There is nothing more rewarding than making someone feel the best versions of themselves, and that’s why I feel so lucky to do what I do.
I am a very personable and love to meet new people, another reason this industry is so great! Together we can create the perfect hair and makeup look for your special day.

WHAT HAS BEEN A CAREER HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU?
A career highlight for me was travelling to France to work on a wedding!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT DOING WEDDINGS?
It’s a real honour to be part of someone’s wedding morning and I love helping the whole bridal party get ready. There is no better feeling than making someone feel amazing in their own skin and if I can do that for someone on their wedding day it makes me very happy!
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR BRIDES-TO-BE?
Get into a good skincare routine ahead of the wedding – I would highly recommend a round of facials.
Drink plenty of water ahead of the big day.
It’s always a good idea to steam dresses the evening before the wedding. This saves you and your bridal party a job, but also your hair will thank you later when it doesn’t drop!
Make sure you and your bridal party have a button up top or robe ready to wear in the morning or something that’s easy to take off around your hairstyling.
Have a feel-good playlist at the ready for the morning.
Share the wedding morning schedule with the bridal party so they know what time they need to be in the chair.
Enjoy and take it all in, its a very special morning!
