Meanwhile House, Williams Way, Curran Embankment, Cardiff CF10 5DY

Based in Wales + South West England. But available for weddings thoughout the UK + destination weddings.

Travel outside of Cardiff + Swansea will be charged at 55p per mile.

I am a makeup artist and hair stylist and offer both services.

But, I only offer hair and makeup (as a combined package) for brides or smaller bridal parties - a max of 3 people (including the bride).

Larger bridal parties, I only accept bookings for hair or makeup services, apart from the bride.

For example: you have 5 bridesmaids and yourself requiring services. I will offer hair and makeup for the bride and makeup or hair for the bridesmaids. You will then need to source another artist for hair or makeup for your bridesmaids.

In some cases and depending on the ceremony time, a second artist is still required to ensure the smooth running of your day.

I don’t typically take on bookings for parties larger than 5 people (including the bride).

For larger bridal parties, depending on the time of your ceremony this will need to be discussed. In most cases another hairstylist/makeup artist will be suitable to ensure the smooth running of your day. I have a small team and can provide someone for an additional admin fee of £60.00 + travel cost (where required).

You are also welcome to source another HMU yourself.

In some cases, if the bridal party is very big and/or the wedding ceremony is very early, I may not be able to take on this booking.

Yes, for services. There is a minimum spend between May - September. This is £220 for services. This doesn’t include travel or expenses.

Yes and No. I operate a booking system, whereby you have the option to hold a date in my diary, while you have a trial etc.
This referred to as a retainer payment. It is not a deposit for services, but holds the date in my diary for a few months, giving you peace of mind I won’t book another wedding for your date.

This is a payment of £50.

Once you have had your trial and want to confirm the booking 20% of your total fee will be payable immediately.

I don’t use just one brand. I have a variety of brands in my kit. Including:
Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, Beauty Pie, Tarte, By Terry, Glossier, MAC and more.

I can also offer a cruelty free application on request.

I am working on this. I can offer a cruelty free application on request.

I generally advise 45 minutes per service, meaning 1 hour 30mins for hair and makeup at a minimum. This varies based on client needs, but is a general guide.

No. Trials are charged separately to the wedding day and are:
£150 for hair and makeup | £100 for just hair or makeup.

All trials are non-refundable.

Trials take place in my studio in Cardiff, generally on a Monday or Friday. For other locations, I can come to your home or an agreed location to do your trial (this is subject to additional cost).

A trial typically lasts from 2-4 hours (either a morning or an afternoon). It is nice and relaxed, giving us lots of time to try out a few of your desired looks. 

I advise creating and sending me a Pinterest/mood board or 2-3 inspirational pictures of makeup or hair that you like, so I can get an idea of your style.

If you have chosen your veil and/or hair accessory, please bring this with you on your trial day so it can be used with your different looks.

You can book a trial via my booking system.
