Seeking Talented Wedding Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists!

Are you a skilled and passionate Makeup Artist or Hair Stylist with a flair for putting a smile on peoples faces by creating gorgeous hair and makeup looks? Join our dynamic team and let your creativity shine!

We are an established Hair and Makeup Agency located in Ashley Cross, Poole with a small friendly team of Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists who travel to some of the most exquisite wedding venues throughout Dorset and Hampshire.

We are searching for dedicated Freelance Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists who can bring out the natural beauty of brides and grooms and their wedding parties on their special day.  If you have a keen eye for detail, confidence with different skin tones, hair types and textures and have a profound understanding of wedding hair and makeup trends then we want to hear from you!

Working with Barnet and Boatrace

You'll be working under the direction of Olga, Founder and Lead Makeup Artist and be responsible for making clients look and feel their best in preparation for their wedding day, prom or other special occasions. 

The majority of our clients prefer a natural makeup look so if your go to style is heavily contoured makeup with over lined lips and scouse brows unfortunately you may not be the right fit for our team. 

We're known for our calm natured and laid back approach (we listen more - and talk less!) so clients feel relaxed knowing that we're not going to be centre of attention on their wedding morning!

You'll be passionate about Wedding Hair and Makeup always maintaining a high standard of work as well as being keen to represent the brand and support our well established reputation.

Your Role

• Create elegant and timeless Wedding and Special Occasion hair and makeup looks
• Conduct in depth consultations with brides and their wedding parties to understand their desired hair and makeup preferences
• Be open to constructive criticism working with brides and the agency to address any concerns and find a quick resolution
• Managing brides expectations and providing advice if additional products or services are needed to achieve their desired look
• Stay updated on the most recent and upcoming bridal makeup and hair trends
• Build strong professional relationships with other Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists working together to achieve cohesive bridal looks within a timely manner
• Recognising when your colleagues may need extra support and stepping up to assist
• Provide hair and makeup touch ups to ensure that the brides makeup and hair stays put throughout their wedding day
