Don’t Just Take My Word for It…

"My experience with Helen was absolutely incredible. I had a last minute wedding crisis that lead me needing a hair and makeup stylist the day before the wedding.
Helen was so calm and kind and on numerous times throughout the morning, took the time out to pause, calm me down and breathe and that is something that I will remember as such an incredible highlight for a high nerve day.
My hair was done beautifully and did not budge the entire day. My makeup was stunning and I am just so incredibly grateful to have had such an incredibly talented artist make a huge impact on my wedding day."

" Helen went above and beyond to not only make me feel my most beautiful but helped me to stay calm. She put on a relaxing playlist and was truly an anchor of peace when I internally felt overwhelmed and nervous.
I had my makeup trial with Helen and it was a perfect opportunity to decide how I wanted my hair and makeup for the big day. I felt like a Hollywood bridal princess all thanks to her.
You are truly are so talented Helen, and anyone privileged to have their hair and makeup done by you, whether for a wedding or any other social event occasion, is truly blessed."
- Emily M.
"We had an amazing makeup and hair trial in her studio, she was really patient and had lots of great ideas to achieve the look I wanted - and was so good with the feedback I gave her to get the look perfect.
On the wedding day, she provided hair and makeup for my bridal party of 7 ladies with calmness and grace. She was efficient and made everybody feel special. My mother in law said how lovely Helen was and my bridesmaids were so grateful to get personalised and custom attention to suit their skin and hair type.
So happy with the outcome, we all felt like goddesses!
- Samantha Church

" Literally saved my wedding day! Helen, you were absolutely amazing. I would give 100 stars if I could. Not only did Helen do an incredible makeup for myself and all of my bridesmaids and mum, she also completely fixed my hair as I wasn't very happy with how the hairstylist did it.
She made me feel like an absolute princess, , I can't get over how good of a job she did. My make up stayed on throughout the night until the morning and the touch up kit she included for the day was just the Cherry on top!
Helen was so much fun and had the best attitude, could not recommend any higher! You are an angel, thank you again!"
- Jamie-Lee Fox
