Amazing on the day to have around

Laura was incredible! She instantly made me feel so comfortable and was so so helpful in helping me choose the perfect look for both my hair and make up. She was patient with me when I couldn't decide and was just amazing on the day 😊

Hair and Makeup was beautiful

Laura was fantastic, lovely to have around on the wedding morning and set me at ease at the trial. She did my mom's and my makeup beautifully, and we felt confident and the best versions of ourselves. Laura did the hair of myself and my four bridesmaids wonderfully too. I loved that Laura uses cruelty free products, something that was important to me.

Absolutely fantastic start to finish!!

Laura did hair and makeup for myself and my two bridesmaids at my wedding. She was incredibly responsive in communicating and organising trials etc ahead of the day, and answered any questions without issue and very promptly. She was fantastic to have around during the day of the wedding with great energy, and able to keep me calm when needed! All three of us really loved our hair and makeup - she delivered exactly what was asked and more, and helped us feel fantastic. Thank you so so much Laura

Best in the business!

I knew Laura was the HMUA for me as soon as I started chatting with her. I wanted my make up really natural as I dont tend to wear lots of make-up and I knew I was going to have a flower crown and wanted it quite Boho. Laura's style of make up was totally what I was after and when I had my trial it was just spot on. Leading up to the wedding Laura was fantastic to communicate with and made me feel totally at ease. When it came to the wedding day, having Laura there felt like part of the bridal

HMUA heart of gold Heidi Married at South Farm

So pleased I booked with Laura for my wedding hair and makeup. From the trial through to the big day I felt listened to. Laura not only executed the look I wanted, she has such a great personality… someone you want there on the morning of your wedding with your girls! I unfortunately was poorly the morning of my wedding meaning Laura had only 2 hours to get me made up! She was professional and empathetic and I felt so supported with her flexibility to swap timings round. Forever grateful ❤️

Cant recommend her enough - Manor of Groves

Laura was absolutely amazing from the consultations down to the finished product on the day. She made us all feel so at ease and we were all chatting away the whole morning! My hair and makeup were the best they've ever looked and I was sad to wipe it off at the end of the day! Honestly couldn't recommend her enough ❤️

Book her, don't delay! - The Lion Inn Boreham

Laura was incredible, she is the kindest most approachable lady & made me feel at ease instantly. I was so nervous on my wedding day & Laura kept me very calm & laughing the whole morning. Loved my make up & hair. My curled hair with plaits stayed completely in place for a 30 hour journey to Thailand. 100% recommend if you're looking for a lovely friendly make-up artist who really listens to what you want and enhances what you already have, rather than covering it - go to Laura!

The Most incredible Artist - East Mersea Hall

Thank you so much Laura!! The most incredible artist! We had such a fun morning with you & the hair and makeup was incredible! You really made the vision of natural and glowy even better than we could’ve imagined! From a great trial trying multiple different hairstyles to decide on the one and so many helpful skin & hair care tips to the most stunning look on the day! I can’t believe how well it lasted through tears in the speeches, a hot sunny day, a lot of dancing and even a trip to the beach

Several weeks prior to your wedding I will link in with your other suppliers and come up with a schedule to ensure the day runs like clockwork, it's always handy if you have a big bridal party!
