Do Reviews Matter When Choosing your Wedding Hair + Makeup Artist?

​Hands up if you read alllll the reviews before booking your venue, your florist, your caterer, your photographer, your photographer..... as well as your wedding hair stylist and makeup artist? 🙋‍♀️

If you’re shaking your head, you’re not alone!  Most brides don't prioritise booking their hair and makeup artist for their weddings as overwhelm and wedmin fatigue can start to kick in!

Reviews should still play a huge factor in your decision with who to book for your wedding hair and makeup as you’re planning one of the most important days of your life and you should want to feel reassured that you’re in safe, talented and friendly hands.​

The Power of Real Wedding Reviews

​Your wedding hair and makeup team are likely to spend the whole morning with you which sets the tone for the whole day. From the moment you sit in the chair, you want to feel relaxed, confident, and excited.

Reading reviews from other brides who’ve already been in your shoes is the best way to know whether our makeup artists and stylists are the right fit for you.

​That’s why we love it when our brides share their experience with us, as well as a wedding day photo or two!

Whether it’s praising our attention to detail, how long the makeup lasted, or how calm and stress free we made the morning feel—your words aren’t just compliments (though they definitely give us that warm fuzzy glow).

They also guide future brides in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire as they decide who to trust with their hair and makeup on their big day.
