CLIENT LOVE
“All I can say is that Jess’s professionalism and lovely nature just put everyone at ease. I’m sad it’s all over but I’m hoping to find another occasion (excuse) to have Jess do my makeup again. What an absolute gem! If you’re mooching over the internet looking for your makeup artist, do yourself a favour, save yourself the stress and just message Jess… you won’t be disappointed!”

Professional Bridal Hair
2 HRS OR 2 HRS 15 MINS - STYLE DEPENDENT
Whether you want red carpet Hollywood waves, a soft romantic up-do or even beautiful free flowing beachy waves, the way I choose to prepare the hair ensures you will have long lasting stunning hair from the ceremony right through to throwing shapes on the dance floor.
What’s involved:
-
The hair is primed with appropriate products and this is blow dried into the hair. The blow dry will smooth out any stray hairs, remove any kinks and give a lovely lift and smooth finish. This part of the hairstyle prep is essential, especially if you have naturally curly or wavy hair.
-
This will give the hairstyle the lift and volume required. It will be tailored to whether you are going for a more sleek finish, or textured. If you have opted for clip in hair extensions they will be fitted at this stage of the styling.
-
The hair is then dressed out and styled into place. This stage of the styling can vary from hairstyle to hairstyle. You will be advised at the trial how long this will take depending on your chosen hairstyle.
-
I will remove any of the setting clips, finish with hairspray and shine spray. If you have a veil or hair piece, I will fit this once you are dressed.
The Modern/
Textured Up-Do
There are so many variations on the up-do! The trends coming forward at the moment are all about texture - the modern take on bridal hair. At your trial, we can discuss the type of hairstyle you wish to create. From ultra sleek chignons to beautiful textured loose up-dos I will create whatever you have your heart set on.
The Hollywood Wave Hairstyle
The ultimate red carpet bridal look! This hair style can be styled in a way that takes on a more vintage approach, or can be fashioned into the classic hollywood glamour look. It requires time, skill and some seriously high-end products. The finished effect is utterly glamorous and oh so fabulous.
Half-Up/Half-Down/Tousled Beach Wave Hairstyle
I receive so many requests for the tousled beach wave or the half up/half down hairstyle! There are so many takes on this hair style, it is incredibly versatile and we can create something that will look beautiful with your dress. I often hear ‘my hair won’t hold a curl’, or ‘it will just drop out’.
I have several tricks up my sleeve to make sure this doesn’t happen! It is also why the prep process for this hairstyle is essential.
