Penny did my hair and makeup for my wedding ceremony. I have never felt so beautiful and comfortable; the make up was so natural and felt so light, my hair was boho just as I wanted it and gorgeous! I’d definitely go to her again and recommend her to everyone for occasion hair and makeup. Professional and an artist! Thank you so much for giving me confidence on the most important day of my life.

Over the last few years I have been lucky enough to have had my makeup done several times – for a photoshoot, a wedding preview, my wedding day and as a bridesmaid. I think the fact that I am a returning client says it all! From the very first contact years ago, Penny has been nothing but friendly, professional, attentive, approachable and kind. She has always gone above and beyond her duty to accommodate me and look after me with such kindness and professionalism. My wedding day was the best day of my life (as it is for many) and I truly believe that Penny is partly responsible for that for making me feel flawless in my appearance – I often don’t feel that way so thank you so much, Penny.

Penny did the hair and makeup for myself and five bridesmaids. It’s a testament to Penny that she did my hair and makeup when I was a bridesmaid two years ago and that’s why I wanted to book her for my own wedding, and now one of my bridesmaids has booked Penny for her wedding in May next year after loving her work last weekend. Penny is lovely to have around on the day and blends into the background. She creates lovely, natural and light looks (I didn’t want to look caked in make up or not myself) and really listens to what you want. Everyone gave us all so many compliments about how good we all looked on the day! Thank you Penny!!

Penny is absolutely wonderful. She worked tirelessly on Saturday on my mum, mother in law, three bridesmaids and me for my wedding day. I had some wonderful compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the day and I was made up with my look. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and she is so lovely. Thank you so much, Penny!

Penny was amazing for my wedding day. She looked after my hair and makeup, my mum’s blow dry and my two bridesmaid’s hair and makeup. The whole process, from preview to wedding day was very easy with clear communication throughout. My family looked gorgeous and my sister (maid of honour) genuinely seemed blown away with my hair and makeup as well as her own. Thank you, Penny, I highly recommend you without hesitation.

Penny did a fabulous job on hair and makeup for my prom. I was very pleased with the final look – and I wasn’t the only one either. I received compliments throughout the evening! Penny arrived early, with plenty of time to do what she needed to do and she put my worries to rest by discussing her plans before she began. The whole time I was with Penny I found she was professional yet friendly and easy to talk to. Most importantly both hair and makeup stayed put all night. I would recommend Penny to anyone!

I wanted to say a big thank you for doing mine and the bridesmaids’ hair and makeup. You did the most fantastic job and I felt a million dollars! The hair even survived the convertible car ride to and from the church! We all had so many compliments and that is a huge credit to your skills. Also thank you for your help with zipgate – still can’t believe that happened and I don’t know what we would have done without your carpet thread!

I was so pleased that Penny was recommended to me for my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She was professional from the start, paying careful attention to my worries about covering the dark circles under my eyes and wanting my hair styled so that it didn’t look too formal and taking lots of information as to what my dress was like, how much makeup I normally wear, colours I like etc. so as to get my look right! Penny is a warm, easy going person, so made me feel at ease on my wedding morning and every one commented on how lovely my hair and makeup looked. I would recommend Penny if you are looking for someone who is professional and can give you a great look for your special day.

Penny was recommended to me from a fellow hair and makeup artist, and out of the five or six I contacted she was by far the most efficient and came across very warm and friendly via email. She was lovely in person and made me feel relaxed about looking my best on the big day. Penny is also very honest about what will suit and I really liked that about her. I wanted a more natural look for my wedding and had a real fear of looking like someone else or a drag queen! My makeup was just perfect on the day and after my initial reservations of having curly hair (it has been iron straight for years!) I loved my hair and have since bought some curling tongs and ditched the straighteners. My mum and bridesmaids all looked really lovely too; Penny did an excellent job and was very easy to be around on the morning of my wedding. Thank you, Penny!

I cannot express how pleased I am that I chose Penny to do the hair and makeup for me and my two bridesmaids for my wedding. She made getting ready such a great experience and is one of the loveliest people you will meet. Both for my preview, and on the day, she was understanding of my skin conditions (eczema) and gave me valuable skincare advice. She uses quality products and produces amazing results. I felt amazing with my hair and makeup done, but I still felt like me. Penny really understood both my style and the style of my bridesmaids. We weren’t rushing to get ready, she had the whole thing perfectly timed out and I felt so at ease. The hair and makeup of both myself and my bridesmaids held up incredibly well; even the bridesmaid whose hair is notorious for not holding curls had her style still in place by the end of the evening. I would recommend Penny to everyone, whatever treatment you have with her, I know you’ll be happy because she’s so talented and such a nice person.

Penny did an absolutely amazing job doing my wedding hair and makeup and that of my 5 bridesmaids. I've never felt so beautiful in my life, and hair and makeup stayed in place for my whole day. As well as being the best hair and makeup artist, Penny is also extremely easy going and friendly, which made her the perfect person to have with me and my bridesmaids on my wedding morning. I have thin hair and presented Penny with a slightly confusing large hair piece the morning of the wedding - Penny was able to figure out the logistics of getting it into my hair, giving me the beautiful, natural, big bun that I desperately wanted! In addition, she very kindly squeezed in an extra hair request for one of my girls, despite it not being on the original itinerary. Thanks so much again.

Thank you SO much for all you did on my wedding morning. Not only did each and every bridesmaid (and my MIL) look incredible but you and Laura were just a total delight throughout making us all feel relaxed, beautiful and happy. I also felt so utterly gorgeous all day thanks to your handiwork. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Penny did the hair and makeup for both my sister’s and my wedding in France. She did such an amazing job on both. She is so friendly and keeps everyone so calm whilst being very professional. She gave me some great tips and I honestly felt like a princess. Thank you, Penny!

I couldn’t recommend Penny more! She worked hard to created every look that myself and bridesmaids wanted, and the outcome was great! Penny is friendly, and really cares about what she does, which shows in the looks she achieved! Thank you so much for your hard work; you made me feel extra special on my wedding day!

Simply brilliant! Penny did the hair for my three bridesmaids and mother-in-law and hair and make up for my mum and I. From the very start she was helpful, friendly, and listened to what I wanted. She answered my numerous queries quickly and suggested various skin and makeup products. On the day, Penny and her assistant arrived promptly and were very efficient, chatty and organised. My bridesmaids had photographs of what they wanted and Penny recreated the designs with ease. My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day and it was exactly what I wanted! I cannot recommend Penny enough. Thank you so, so much!

Now we've settled back into life post-wedding, I just wanted to send a note to say the most enormous thank you. You were such a lovely, calming presence in the morning, which I really appreciated as I had been really struggling with the wedding being so different to how I'd pictured it. I felt so confident and beautiful on the day, and everything held up despite all that rain! Sarah loved her hair and you were so great with my Mum. Thank you so, so much.

Penny is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough. She makes you feel completely at ease and listens carefully as to what look you are after. She arrived promptly and started her magic making myself, my four bridesmaids and my mum all feel amazing on our special day. Our hair and makeup lasted all day (even under the sweaty sun!). Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for doing my hair and makeup for my wedding! I am still in awe at how you managed to perfectly do not only my hair and makeup, but all five of my bridesmaids’ makeup and my step mother’s! Not to mention brilliantly creating a completely new hairstyle for me after I did a “bridezilla” and changed my mind right at the last minute. It was just what I wanted and couldn’t be more grateful for all your help and patience. Both my hair and makeup stayed in place the whole time and even withstood some rather raucous dancing at the end. I had so many compliments and felt like a princess all day! Thank you again, Penny.
