Consultation & Trial
The consultation is a very important process when considering hair and makeup. It is the initial stage in which to discuss those important finishing touches to your wedding day or occasion. Before the trial even commences, we will communicate over e-mail asking key questions that will help us at the trial. At the trial we will discuss hair, face shape, hair accessories, dress necklines, colours, accessories, eye shape and skin tones.
All trials are carried out at my home based salon in Chineham, Basingstoke. Please contact me for off peak prices*.
At the trial your hair will be set & styled. This will give your hair shine, grip, or curl and is a crucial foundation to any professional hair style or hair up do. We will explore 1 or 2 hair styles. To add the finishing touch, we will try bridal hair accessories or a veil in your hair. The makeup trial follows a similar process. Your trial hair and makeup will then all be documented and a 50% deposit will be taken to secure the date.

TESTIMONIALS
ABOUT ME
Way back in the eighties, I trained in fine art. My skill set was varied and I had the natural ability to work with colour and form in fine art as well as commercial art. Though the idea of being a fine artist seemed romantic, I went on to pursue a career as a designer/art director, where I worked for many happy years. My job involved designing for editorial, art directing and designing makeup looks for models and I had the privilege of working with lots of people from models and photographers, to commissioning hair and makeup artists. It was a glamorous job, but I longed to be more artistic and I knew that one day I would like to work in hair and makeup.
Forward wind twenty plus years and I am now working in makeup artistry. As well as being a makeup artist, I trained in beauty therapy and work at my salon alongside my hair and makeup work. Working as a therapist means that I have the knowledge and expertise to advise on beauty as well as creating beautiful hair and makeup.
I am very proud of what I do and aside from a couple of short courses with celebrity makeup artist Clare Hanson, the lovely talented Tina Brocklebank, and hair tutor Pam Wrigley, I am totally self taught. Based at my studio in central Basingstoke, I create beautiful, natural looking, long lasting makeup for weddings, photoshoots, and special occasions using the highest quality professional products and application techniques.
As well as being involved with special occasion makeup, I recently had the pleasure of being the makeup artist to Miss Basingstoke at the Miss England semi finals in 2015 and was a regional finalist at the Wedding Industry Awards 2017. I have also recently started working on film and photo projects nationally.
