Tara did an absolutely incredible job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day this past December! The morning of the wedding, Tara came over in a great mood and did everyone’s hair (and my hair and makeup) in great time. My friend was raving about her hair all day and said she has been in multiple weddings and never liked her hair so much as she did when it was done by Tara. My mom was the same and refused to wash her hair for days because she liked how good it looked!

I just can’t thank Tara enough for doing such a fantastic job. She is the real deal, so talented. I highly recommend her for a wedding of any size! Thank you again Tara!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tara is an absolute joy! From the trial where she made sure I was fully happy with everything to the day itself where she even found an additional artist to cater to the amount of girls having their hair and makeup done, she is an absolute professional. She made the morning run so smoothly and kept the energy calm and fun! I had such a lovely experience with her and would recommend her to anyone! I felt absolutely beautiful! Thank you Tara 🤍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Tara highly enough! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in May, and I was so so happy with the results. Both my hair and makeup looked incredible and were exactly what I had hoped for, and lasted perfectly all day. Tara also did the Mother of the Bride's hair and the Maid of Honour's hair & makeup, and they were both delighted with how everything turned out and they both looked amazing. Not only is Tara incredibly talented, but she is also so friendly and welcoming, making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable on the day. Thank you, Tara, for helping us all look and feel our best! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tara was amazing as my make up artist and hair stylist for my wedding. I called her to enquire and she was clear on costs, timelines and availability. I hired her for my hair and make up and hair for 3 relatives. She communicated clearly beforehand and I felt very reassured. I had a trial and it was lovely to meet her and go through options and ideas together, she was open to issues I had with certain types of make up as I didn’t usually wear a lot. She provided alternatives and was understanding, she was open to suggestions too. We went for a natural/low key look, concealer, lashes and some blusher. On the morning of the wedding, she was such a calming presence, a great way to start the day for someone who isn’t a morning person! It’s wonderful to see a professional be ace at their job but also a pleasure to be around! I did opt for a last minute change of a side parting to a center parting and she adapted with no worry or concern! I would thoroughly recommend Tara for your wedding or big event!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tara did an absolutely incredible job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day this past December! I booked her 4-5 months in advance for myself, one of my friends and my mom. I live in the US and I also wanted to make sure there was ample time for a hair and makeup trial a few days before beforehand. She was great at communicating and we connected on whatsapp. I told her my vision for the hair and it was easy to work with her through video. I'm so happy I did the trial, she absolutely knew nailed my vision with the ponytail and did a gorgeous gorgeous job on my makeup. I knew she was going to be the right choice for wedding day. The morning of the wedding, Tara came over in a great mood and did everyone's hair (and my hair and makeup) in great time. My friend was raving about her hair alllll day and said she has been in multiple weddings and never liked her hair so much as she did when it was done by Tara. My mom was the same and refused to wash her hair for days because she liked how good it looked! I just can't thank Tara enough for doing such a fantastic job. She is the real deal, so talented. I highly recommend her for a wedding of any size! Thank you again Tara!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tara did the most beautiful hair for me and six bridesmaids and even went above and beyond to help my mother too. We had so many compliments throughout the day. She was also a joy to have there on the morning, so calm and friendly, it made a big difference. I'd highly recommend her. Thank you so much Tara :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend Tara enough. I booked her for my wedding through Margot and Lace as an additional hair stylist but when the stylist who'd done my trial was injured and unavailable Tara stepped in to do all the hair for myself, my 4 bridesmaids and mum and stepmum. As a result we had to start 2 hours earlier than planned which was not issue for us but it mean Tara had to travel over 120 miles from London to Worcestershire for 7:15am. Which we didn't even realise until midway through the morning. Really nothing was too much trouble! She was a joy to have with us throughout the wedding morning and I loved my hair and all my bridesmaids hair so much. Thanks so so much Tara you were a literal dream <3

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend Tara highly enough. Everything about the experience was perfect. Tara is very calm, laidback and professional and I felt well looked after and like I was in a safe pair of hands! Most importantly of all the makeup was beautiful and exactly what I had hoped for. It was natural and dewy and it didn’t look like I was wearing makeup, but she completely transformed my face and I was so happy with how I looked and it came out really well in all the photos too. And my hair was also perfect. I felt really confident on the day and the makeup and hair lasted all night. Tara was very accommodating and listened to all my thoughts about what I wanted and made adjustments too. It was a very relaxed non stressful experience with lovely conversations too. Thank you Tara!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give Tara a 15/10 rating I would! From the first trial, she made me feel so at ease and I just knew whatever I chose was going to be perfect for my wedding. I’ve never felt so beautiful in my whole life, the whole day I didn’t need to worry cause I knew Tara had done such an amazing job! My bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and my mum looked unbelievable. So so happy and would recommend to anyone

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing experience with Tara. Booking was simple and she was able to accommodate me at relatively short notice, for which I was very grateful. Hair and makeup turned out great for me and my mum - lots of compliments all day. Moreover, Tara is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Can you style my bridal party as well?

Absolutely. Tara can provide hair styling, makeup, or both for bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, flower girls and other members of your wedding party.

Do I need to book a bridal trial?

We highly recommend booking a bridal trial before your wedding day. It’s the perfect opportunity to discuss your ideas, try different looks and refine every detail, so you feel completely confident ahead of your wedding. Bridal trials are booked separately, see our pricing guide for more details.

How long does bridal hair and makeup take?

Every wedding morning is carefully planned around your booking. We’ll create a bespoke schedule for you and your bridal party, ensuring everyone is ready with plenty of time to relax before the ceremony.
