HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
Our team prices are transparently included in this guide.
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. Trials are bookable Monday to Thursday. Appointment times are dependant on your artist but typically available in the morning or the afternoon. Evening and weekend trials may be considered under special circumstances but will incur an additional fee, and availability cannot be guaranteed.
WHERE WILL THE TRIAL BE HELD?
Trials are held either at your home or the artist’s studio. Specific requirements will be dependent on your artist. 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.

Bride Hair and Makeup: 2 hours

We recommend washing hair the day/night before and ensuring skin is clean and makeup-free. Normal skincare routines are encouraged.
CAN YOU STAY FOR TOUCH UPS THROUGHOUT THE WEDDING DAY?
If you require additional time or a second look/evening style, please inform us when submitting your enquiry. Pricing will be calculated based on your requirements.
KIND WORDS
"Sophie made me, and the bridal party feel totally at ease and absolutely amazing"
I booked hair and makeup through Lauren for myself, my sister and my partners family for my Hindu Wedding Ceremony. Lauren wasn’t available but linked me up with some other wonderful makeup artists. Lauren provided a really efficient and supportive service, I would definitely recommend her! Sophie did hair and make up for the bridal party and was just amazing. She is warm, encouraging and so skilled in both hair and makeup. She made me, and the bridal party feel totally at ease and absolutely amazing.
— Louisa Borgcostanzi-Potts
"Emily managed to pull off an absolute miracle"
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Emily (and Sophie) for doing the hair and make up for my wedding day. You managed to pull off an absolute miracle – making me look amazing when I was so incredibly ill and it was 30 degrees outside. My hair and make up stayed put all day and I am so happy with how it all turned out.
— KITTY BENZECRY
"AMANDA - THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS"
I had a wonderful experience with Lauren and the team. Would highly recommend!
Lauren – your organisation and check ins made this process seamless and stress free, so thank you very much.
Amanda – thank you for making me feel absolutely gorgeous on what is such a memorable day, I felt like an absolute princess!
