Be the best bride you can be...
On your wedding day it’s important that you look and feel the the best you can. Not just for the ceremony but for the whole day.
In choosing Gemma to do your makeup and hair you are choosing someone who loves what she does and uses her commercial expertise to ensure you look your best wherever you are and whatever the weather.
The first step is to arrange a trial to work on the overall look you imagined for your hair and makeup, and create a style that best suits you. I ask my clients to research certain looks for hair and makeup to show me, this helps to build an image of the way you want to look.
I will travel to wherever you are getting prepared so that on the wedding day you can sit back and relax after all your preparations knowing you are in the hands of a professional.
Wedding makeup and hair packages are available for brides, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, family and friends including men. My makeup package also includes, if required, foundation airbrushing which is a light diffusion of foundation on the skin. This gives a very flawless effect. Tattoo coverage is also available if needed and various hair designs can be achieved.
My main base is Birmingham and the West Midlands but I can cover all areas of the country.

Describe your typical process with a couple.
When I first meet a client it is usually at my Salon for the trial I talk to the client about her expectations of what look she would like to achieve for her hair and make -up. I ask my clients to bring clippings from magazines or photo's of looks or ideas they like. This helps me create the overall look for both hair and make-up. Once the bride is happy with what we have created I take photos and notes for reference so I can recreate the look on the day.
On the wedding day I arrive at the venue giving myself plenty of time to recreate the look we decided on at the trial for the bride and of course any bridesmaids or other members of the wedding party i am working with.
