Make-up and hair by Gemma Full Description
Gemma is a professional trained artist offering a relaxed and friendly atmospher - A Birmingham based Make-up and hair artist also covering nationwide and international areas on request.... with almost 20 years experience in the make up industry. Trained by Greasepaint International School of Make up in London - working in all areas of make up - TV, Film, Theatre, Commercial and Bridal hair and make-up. Since relocating back to the Midlands Gemma also owns her own Hair Salon and Make -up Studio named Salon-G in Bearwood, Birmingham. Bridal trials take place at Salon-G and on your wedding day Gemma comes to where ever you need her to be on the day. 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.

Gemma made my wedding morning so perfect.

Gemma made my wedding morning so perfect. She was so relaxing and made me feel at ease after a mini wobble I had. Loved my hair and felt every inch the bride. Gemma arrived early and was so accommodating going above and beyond her role that morning. Totally recommend. X

She turned me into a bride and I’m so thankful.

Gemma did mine and my mums hair and make up for my wedding on Friday 28th December 2018. She was so calming and gave me lots of advice during the hair and make up process. She turned me into a bride and I’m so thankful. Thank you Gemma.

All make up and hair stayed in place all day

Gemma and her assistant Emma did a fantastic job with my wedding hair and make up for my wedding in August! Along with 5 bridesmaids I worried it would all feel a bit manic and rushed, but it was all very relaxed and everyone was really happy with the end results. All make up and hair stayed in place all day without touch ups.

My hair and make up lasted all day

Gemma was amazing from day one of speaking with her! The trial run of hair and make up was incredible and on the morning of the wedding she was a total professional who made getting ready so easy and fun, on a day full of nerves and excitement Gemma was relaxed which made us relax! My hair and make up lasted all day and I felt stunning as did by bridesmaids thank you Gemma! Xx

I was over the moon with the finished look

Gemma did my hair and make-up for my wedding at the end of July and I cannot recommend her enough. I wanted a very natural look for my wedding day. Gemma soon eased my nerves at my trial and created the look I was hoping for. She took the time to try out styles for my hair and we both agreed that having my hair all up suited me best. On my wedding day itself, Gemma arrived ahead of the bridal party at our venue to set up. I was over the moon with the finished look and felt amazing all day

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.
