Hi, I'm Linda. I have over 10 years experience making brides look and feel their absolute best version of themselves for their wedding day. I cover Surrey and SW London.

FAQS

When will I have my trial?

I recommend doing the trial around 8-10 weeks before the wedding. This means that your hair colour and length will be as close to what it will be on the day, giving you a better idea of how it will actually look. If you would feel more comfortable having one sooner, just to make sure that you are happy with my craft then that is absolutely no problem, we can get you booked in earlier. Although in my experience, brides who have done this always end up booking a second trial closer to the time as they will have spent all that time in between looking at inspiration photos and almost always change their mind. Also, the way I do things is very consultative and I will not leave unless we are both happy and know what I will be doing on the wedding day for you.

Will we need more than one hair and make-up person?

Depending on the ceremony time, how early we start, and how many people require hair and/or make-up. Sometimes I have enough time to accomodate everyone, and sometimes I need extra help. I have a select few hair and make-up artists that I can get to help me on the day of the wedding. Once we know how many people want a service then I can get help. If I am unable to get someone to help me then I will let you know with plenty of notice for you to find someone to assist.

How do I book?

By the time you get to the enquiry stage and you have contacted me about availability for your wedding date, I can imagine you have looked at various hair and make-up artists, and feel confident that my style and my pricing is similar to your style and your budget. Or you will be enquiring to find out more information. Once we establish availability and the details of your wedding and both of us are keen to get you booked in, I will then email you an invoice for a non-refundable £50 deposit. This payment comes off the cost of the trial, so if you do not like what I have done, you haven't lost out on any money. Once this is paid I will send you an email confirming receipt of payment and that you are booked and I am officially your hair and make-up supplier.

WHAT DO I BRING TO THE TRIAL? I.E HAIR EXTENSIONS, VEILS, ACCESSORIES

If you have a veil or a chosen hair accessory then please do bring it to the trial. If you have not chosen these things yet, especially any hair accessories then please do not worry, you may not know what will suit your chosen hairstyle until we try it, and there will be plenty of time to order something. The trial will give you a better idea of what to put in your hair and I will be able to give you advice on these and what to get if you require them. Hair extensions are a very normal part of the wedding day for brides and bridal party. I am completely qualified to install temporary hair extensions or clip-ins and have lots of experience. If you wish to discuss this beforehand then just contact me.

Testimonials

I highly recommend Linda for her efficiency, her talent for creating unique and flawless hair styles and glamorous make-up. Linda did my 5 bridesmaids hair, 2 flowers hair and my hair and make-up on the morning of my wedding. She stuck to her replanned time schedule that we had agreed ahead of the date and ensured that everyone looked immaculate throughout the morning, allowing time for touch ups before heading to the venue. Each of my bridesmaids curls lasted all day and hair up remained in place all day - i had lots of compliments on my hair and make-up both on the day and afterwards when showing photos to people. Linda is an expert on helping you prepare and will give you consultative advice on styles to suit your dress and wedding theme as well as setting expectations. If you are looking for someone to help your wedding run smoothly and make sure everyone looks their best then contact Linda.

Linda is a fantastic makeup artist and hairstylist. Recommended by my regular hairdresser; I followed her on Instagram to get an idea of her style and previous work. I felt immediately comfortable and knew she was the right person for me. Classic and elegant. I arranged a trial at my house, she arrived promptly; armed with all the necessary equipment. We immediately hit it off like long lost friends. I explained how I don’t usually wear much makeup and want to look flawless on my wedding day. The first application was perfect and after showing her my dress she knew exactly how I wanted my hair. The best thing about the trial was that I was attending a friend’s wedding that day and was able to road test both my hair and makeup. Needless to say it was wonderful! Linda was in touch frequently before the wedding, discussing timings and logistics. I had a few changes just before the wedding and she was able to accommodate these with no hesitation. On the wedding day itself she was incredibly professional and friendly. The timings changed slightly and once again, this didn’t fluster Linda at all. My sister was a worry of mine, as she is, what can only be described as fussy. She was nervous of what her makeup would look like. She was incredibly happy with the end result. Overall, I cannot highly recommend Linda enough for her services. She’s talented, understanding and professional.

Linda did my hair and make up, and all my bridesmaids hair, for my wedding last month. I could not recommend her more highly! Throughout the planning leading up to the day Linda kept in touch and was so thorough with regards to timings for the day and making sure everything ran exactly how I wanted it to. I had two trials prior to the day with Linda and both times she made sure that I was 100% happy with everything. On the day I was so so happy with how she did my hair and make up, it literally couldn't have been better in my eyes, it was perfect. Thank you so much Linda! I would highly recommend her services!
