Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

As early as you can. Popular summer Saturdays go a year or more ahead. Send me your date and I'll tell you straight away whether I'm free.
A £60.00 retainer fee secures your date. Until that's paid, the date stays open and is deducted from the final bill.
The £60.00 retainer fee is non-refundable. Beyond that, there's nothing further to pay if you cancel.
Yes. I've styled a wedding party of nine with five days' notice. Tell me how many people need hair, makeup or both, and the time you need to be ready, and I'll work out a start time that gets everyone done without a rush.
Yes. I work with all hair types and textures, including Afro, curly and Asian hair, and I carry foundation and products to match most skin tone.
Yes. Proms, birthdays, anniversaries, photoshoots and makeup lessons are all welcome.

I'd recommend one. It's where we work out the look properly: you get to try things, change your mind, and arrive at something you're genuinely happy with before the day. But it isn't essential, and plenty of brides book without one.
They happen in your home location on the day.
Two to three hours at most.
A few months before the wedding, ideally once you have your dress and a rough idea of your flowers and accessories. That way we're designing the whole picture, not just the hair.
Pictures of looks you like, a photo of your dress, and your veil or hair accessories if you have them. Come with clean, dry hair and a top that's easy to take off.
That's fine. Send me photos of looks you love and a recent selfie, and we'll plan it that way instead.

Yes. Please have your hair washed and completely dry, either the night before or first thing. Wear a button-up top so nothing has to go over your head afterwards.
I work back from the time you need to be ready. As a rough guide, allow about an hour per person for hair and the same for makeup. I'll confirm a start time once I know the size of the party.
Yes. I use long-wear products and set everything, so your look lasts through photos, dancing and happy tears.
By arrangement, yes. Ask when you enquire and I'll include it in your quote.

MAC, Nars, Fenty, YSL, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Estée Lauder and Bobbi Brown, Clinque, Charlotte Tillbury chosen for colour range and a good photo finish.
Absolutely. If you have products that you know work for you, bring them and I'll use them.
Yes I use individual cluster lashes, whichever suits your look. Or you can bring your own if you prefer.

I'm based in Sheffield and travel across South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the Peak District, including Rotherham, Chesterfield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Leeds. I'm happy to go further for the right wedding.
