Leigh was simply great! She listened to my ideas and helped guide them when I was unsure which direction to take. She was accommodating to any requests I had and was such a calm presence both at the trial and on the wedding day. As such it was a very relaxed start to my wedding day. She worked quickly and skillfully on my bridesmaids hair and they looked fantastic. She then meticulously did my hair and make up, kindly leaving me a lipstick to top up with throughout the day, should I need it. Other than lipstick, the rest stayed put throughout the day and required no top ups!Very professional with good chat. So glad I picked Leigh and would highly recommend her!

Leigh has been very friendly and nice from the very beginning! She did a wonderful makeup and hair for my pre-wedding photos. The studio is very nice and clean. BTW her dog Ruby is very lovely! I would definitely recommend my friend to go there if they need makeup 🙂 🥰

Leigh was great from the beginning, she was very flexible and did her best to accommodate my requests. I am so glad I chose her for my event. She is incredibly professional but also friendly and supportive. She was also very accommodating despite one of the girls not speaking any English. I would definitely call her again if I needed makeup for another event. Thank you Leigh! 🙂

Leigh was friendly and helpful from the very first time I contacted her about doing my bridal hair and makeup, and gave me great advice before and during my trial. She was always punctual and did a fantastic job. My hair and makeup on my wedding day looked wonderful. I got so many great comments throughout the day and it was still looking fantastic at the end of the night. Leigh also helped me with the finishing touches of getting ready, putting me at total ease, and topped up my makeup before I left for the ceremony. I couldn’t have wished for better. Her prices are more than fair and she’s great company as well, which I think is really important. Thank you so much Leigh, can’t wait to see you again in April! 💕

Last Saturday was one the biggest days of my life and I really have to thank Leigh for how amazing my hair and make up looked on my wedding day! Leigh is amazing at what she does, listening to what I wanted and transforming my idea into real life. I wouldn’t have had the look I had in my head with out her. From start to finish Leigh was there whenever I needed to query something or ask for advice. On the morning of my wedding Leigh was part of the bridal tribe she has such a calming influence and such a lovely person to be around. Me, my bridesmaids, flower girl and mums all looked incredible! She didn’t stop there when we was all ready she ensured finishing touches were done and didn’t let us go until we were perfect! I can’t thank her enough and I would highly recommend you book in with Leigh for any event!!!! Leigh you are amazing and deserve the highest praise ♥️♥️♥️

Leigh was absolutely amazing on my wedding day - she is not only incredibly talented and skilled at both hair and make-up but also so kind and such a calming influence! She made me, my mum and bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful. This was my first time getting my hair and make-up done professionally and she listened and understood what I wanted even when I did a complete u-turn 2 weeks before the wedding! I can not recommend her enough! Thank you Leigh for everything 😊

After searching for a Make Up Artist in the area Leigh stood out the most. She was absolutely fantastic and understood my make up needs. It was my first time getting my make up done and it was above and beyond what I ever expected. Certainly made me feel pampered and beautiful for my graduation day! Would highly recommend her for any special occasion. Thank you Leigh!! Xx

Most relaxing way to get ready for any event! Leigh made me feel comfortable straight away, she gave me exactly what I wanted despite me giving her very little to go on. I didn't have to worry about reapplication at any point during a long day and got lots of compliments. I'll be back next time I have a fancy event!

Leigh is just a superstar. I’m not a girly girl, I was actually frightened about getting my makeup done for my wedding because I didn’t really know what I wanted but as soon as I found Leigh I knew she just got it and understood how I felt about it all and pretty much held my hand through the whole process. I had no experience in this area so I didn’t know what to expect but I know she went above and beyond to make the process enjoyable and comfortable which was great and I guess the most important part is she’s pretty awesome at doing make up too. Like I said I’m no expert but me and my bridesmaids had so many comments on the day about how good we looked she must do something right! I am now trying to think of other reasons and occasions to get my make up done just so I can book Leigh again, but until then if you’re considering booking Leigh then do it because she’s brilliant 👍🏼 x

Having had Leigh do my makeup previously I knew I had to have her do my makeup again as I knew I was in safe hands and would love the end result. I don't tend to wear a lot of makeup but Leigh was great and knew exactly what sort of look I was after, I felt so comfortable and confident all night. Leigh also did my hair which was amazing, she made my hair look and feel incredible. I felt like a completely different person! I would definitely recommend and use Leigh again and the ease and end results are so worth it! Really enjoyed my afternoon with her, it was a great start to my evening 💫✨
