AVAILABLE FOR UK AND DESTINATION WEDDINGS

I am OBSESSED with wedding hair and makeup, it’s my thing! Helping someone feel amazing on their big day makes me SO happy.

Over the years of being a Wedding Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist, I have learned that makeup and hair is so personal. Add the fact that this is going to be one of the BEST and most photographed days of your life, there’s a lot of pressure, right?

The feedback I consistently get from my clients is my ability to listen carefully to what they want. Sure, I am here to give my professional advice but it’s very much a collaboration of us both. Without trying to sound too cheesy, you’ve got to feel like you, just your best version.

Whilst I am based on the outskirts of London, I travel all over the UK and worldwide for Weddings.
In fact, any excuse to do a bit of travelling.

When she passed me the mirror, I actually started to cry a little because I’d never felt so beautiful.

THE TRIAL

Before the trial, I’ll ask you to gather your inspo pics. I’ll then make a recommendation on what will suit you (and your dress) best. I want you to leave the trial thinking that I’ve nailed it.

If you’d like to have a chat before the trial, let me know. I am always up for a natter, plus this is a good way for us to get to know each other and a great way for me to answer all of your questions.

To find out more info and receive a quote please contact me.

Nicola was a dream to work with. She is incredibly professional and you can feel how much she truly cares about delivering the best experience possible.

Nicola was amazing throughout the whole process, from our initial chat to trial to the big day! Thank you for how kind, patient and helpful you are, I felt so comfortable with you!

Nicola brought such a gorgeous calm vibe on the morning of the wedding, helping me, my mum and my 6 bridesmaids feel amazing!
I have truly never felt so good, and I have you to thank for that! Everyone LOVED their hair and makeup, everyone felt so confident and special.

My hair and makeup stayed PUT the whole day – I am so serious when I say I was jumping around the whole day and my bun did NOT move & my front curls did not drop!

From the very first message, Nicola was a dream. Super easy to chat to, quick to reply, and genuinely listened to what I wanted. My bridal trial with her was such a lovely experience, she makes you feel so comfortable, like you can be totally honest about what you do and don’t like, and she just gets it.

On the wedding day itself, she was incredible. I even decided to change my hairstyle from the trial (so we never practiced it beforehand together), and she created exactly what I had in mind. When she passed me the mirror, I actually started to cry a little because I’d never felt so beautiful.

She’s insanely talented at both makeup and hair, but beyond that she’s just such a calming, lovely person to have around on such a big day. I honestly can’t recommend her enough and I’m already looking for excuses to book her again!

I hired Nicola for my wedding, where she did hair and makeup for me, my mum and my sister. She was so so brilliant from start to finish.

Pre wedding, she was super communicative, and very happy to have the trial at whatever point pre wedding worked for me. She also worked out an exact schedule for the morning which was just one less thing to think about.

Pre wedding, I hadn’t really considered the fact that how your suppliers make you feel on the day will have a big bearing on how you feel. Nicola was BRILLIANT. She completely put me at ease and helped dissipate any nerves I was feeling, and kept us all running to time so it felt like everything was in hand. The result was a very relaxed feeling bridal prep which wouldn’t have been the case without her!

As for her work – exceptional! She followed the brief to the letter, and I have honestly never felt more beautiful. The makeup was so glowy and the skin looked so natural. The hair was incredible. I am very fussy about hair and regularly have it blow dried. Nicola absolutely smashed it – the hair of my dreams and she totally got the vision!

Frequently Asked Questions


This is your preference, however, most of my trials are 6-12 months in advance.

A hair and makeup trial is up to 3.5 hours. A hair only trial takes up to 2 hours and a makeup trial is up to 1.5 hours.

Please gather images of hair and/or makeup styles that you like the look of. Pinterest & Instagram are great for inspo. I always recommend that you look for style on women that have similar colour hair and skin tones to yourself.

If you have a hair trial please bring your veil and any hair accessories with you. If you have sensitive skin and have a particular moisturiser or foundation you like to wear, it might be a good idea to bring these too.

Hair and makeup trials are held at my home in Hertford East on weekdays (typically Monday to Thursday).

Of course you can, do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Although coming makeup-free is preferred. If you are having a hair only trial, then I’d recommend you wearing some makeup for photos that I’ll take after the session.

Please come with clean, non-styled hair. Ideally, hair that’s been left to dry naturally.

I have a variety of brand but my faves are Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Bumble and Bumble, IGK and Kerastase.

Individual and strip lashes certainly are. I also offer and LVL service, so if you want your lashes to be lush and lifted for your big day and honeymoon, then don’t forget to book this in too.

Yes, I travel all over the UK and worldwide for weddings. Just let me know that the destination is at the time of the enquiry and I will include the travel charge within the quote.

No, I have a team of amazing wedding hairstylists and makeup artists that I can book for the day. Just let me know how many of you need styling and I will include the charge for this within the quote.
