About me
With over 30 years of experience in TV, film, and theatre, I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients, including TV presenters and celebrities.
My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to adapt to different styles, work efficiently under pressure, and create a calm, enjoyable atmosphere on your big day.
As a recommended supplier for multiple prestigious venues across Dorset and Hampshire, I take pride in offering a seamless bridal experience. Being fully qualified in both hair and makeup allows brides to coordinate their entire look with one supplier, ensuring everything comes together beautifully during the preview session rather than waiting until the big day. This not only simplifies the process but also creates a more relaxed and stress-free wedding morning, without the need to accommodate multiple suppliers.
Although I primarily work on my own, I have a trusted network of experienced professionals available should additional assistance be required for larger bridal parties or early ceremony times—so no matter your needs, I've got you covered.
