Hi again! It makes sense you'd want to know some more about me, you don't want to book a complete stranger! I’m really proud to offer award-winning hair and makeup services, and being based in Bishops Stortford I am lucky to be local to many beautiful wedding venues in Hertfordshire. I have over 15 years experience in the wedding industry but have been full time weddings only for the last 4. I've always been a true lover of romance and I love anything rom-com related, so the wedding industry is the perfect place for me! 

​

I’ve always been a bit of a wafter, and by that I mean my attention span is fairly pathetic, yet give me a creative task and I’m hooked for hours, lost in the moment of creating something beautiful. I guess that’s what lead me into Hair and Makeup.​

​

I started off, like many makeup artists, focusing on a specific interest and for me it was special effects (bit different to weddings!) My Dad is a local GP and my Mum was an A&E nurse when I was younger, so maybe that naturally lodged itself in my brain as a mixture of being creative and medical, without the real life nasty stuff as I’m actually quite squeamish! 

​

​Fast forward to being qualified and testing out the different aspects of the industry such as fashion, film and TV work, I came across weddings by helping a friend of a friend. I loved it! Having always been a true romance fanatic I love nothing more than watching a girly chick flick or reading a romance novel. I’m a big fan of valentine's day (even though my husband thinks it's a load of rubbish!)  So anywhere I can get my romance kicks works for me! Enter weddings! Alongside my hair and makeup jobs, I worked part time in an office up until a few years ago, and I genuinely feel this has helped me stay organised throughout my business, as there is a lot of admin to deal with behind the scenes!

​

The fact that I love romance so much, means I really tap into your emotional side and how I want my services to make you feel, not just look. When you book me, I want to know what’s important to you, how you want to feel on your wedding day, how you want your partner to feel when they look at you. Once we’ve figured that out, then we get to the fun part of seeing what inspires you and what will suit you. 

​

When it comes to the physical side of hair and makeup, to make sure I stay up to date with current trends and styles, I enjoy regularly topping up my skills and have done so many times over the years. By doing this I am always able to create fresh, timeless and classic looks with a modern twist. I use top quality products tried and tested by other artists so I get the best, honest reviews knowing that what I use really works and lasts. As well as hair and makeup training, I'm also qualified in aromatherapy massage, facials and reflexology and these additional skills means I can tap in to my love of alternative therapies to truly make you feel relaxed and cared for!

​

For a bit of fun, and to get to know each other that little bit more, I’ve listed my 5 loves and hates. I can’t wait to hear yours!
