ABOUT me

This is my DREAM job – and not many people get to say that!

My goal is simple: to enhance your natural beauty while providing a professional, relaxed, and friendly service that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.

After having my first baby, I made a decision: if I was going back to work, it had to be something I was passionate about. Something creative, flexible, and rewarding for everyone involved. What could be more fulfilling than being part of some of the happiest and most memorable moments of people’s lives?

I am based in Buckinghamshire but close to the Oxfordshire boarder and frequently provide services to clients in surrounding areas. Including Thame, Haddenham, Bicester, Princes Risborough, Amersham, Chesham, and Marlow. I also cover areas further afield, such as the stunning Cotswolds (Stone Barn being a favourite up that way!) and London. I am conveniently a mere six minute drive from Notley Abbey!

When it comes to bridal looks, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to listen to what you want so we can create something modern, cool, and uniquely yours. Of course, I can do classic bridal hair and makeup too—but if you’re here, I have a feeling you’re looking for something a little different.

I love weaving in nods to current trends, whether inspired by the red carpet or fashion week.

Pinterest is a fantastic tool for sharing the vibe you’re after, but if you’re unsure which direction to take, my experience means I can gently guide you toward something that feels just right.

Here’s what I don’t do: stiff, over-sprayed curls, giant donut buns, or heavy, cakey “Instaglam” makeup that leaves you looking like someone else. No catfish makeup, no baking—just fresh, beautiful, and authentic results.

ABOUT you

You are a hard working and passionate individual.

You’re beautiful inside and out but you probably don’t realise it.

You want to look beautiful/sexy/cool for your event or all of the above.

You’re INCREDIBLY excited, albeit slightly nervous about the biggest show ever with no real rehearsal.

You’re not a bridezilla and people making that joke actually get’s on your nerves.

If you agree with the majority of the above, I very well maybe the stylist for you!
