Leigh is gifted when it comes to designing and creating new hair styles, she’ll have something in her mind then she just works her magic and it always looks amazing. I wouldn’t choose anyone else in the north east!

Leigh & Megan recently did the hair and make up for my full bridal party & we could not recommend them more! The morning was totally relaxed and we all felt so comfortable around them. They were both able to give us advice on what make up would suit both our features and our particular tastes & we all looked fab! We all have very different hair types and Leigh was able to cope with all of them; from short tight curls to long straight hair. The styles stayed in all day & were so pretty and comfortable. I was so great to have one team who could do both hair and make up, it made the stress of organising everything so much easier.Can’t wait for my next occasion so I have an excuse to book them again!

I was lucky enough to have Leigh do mine and my maid of honour’s hair and make up this October for our small elopement wedding. As we live over 5 hours away from where our wedding was held, I couldn’t have a hair and make up trial in person but Leigh held a zoom meeting to go through ideas and discuss what I wanted. She understood completely what I wanted and even trialed and modelled my choices on someone else so I could see exactly what it would look like! From the moment she arrived on the day, she was just amazing! My make up and hair were beyond anything I expected, it was perfect! ♥️ My maid of honour even said her make up was better than on her own wedding day! Leigh kept me cool, calm and collected even with my crazy one year old running around causing havoc!! She stayed right until the moment I walked down the aisle and helped out with other little bits, just going above and beyond! Thank you so much, Leigh! ♥️♥️

From the moment I met Leigh, she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I was so nervous for the photo shoot and I had booked but Leigh made me relaxed and although I didn't have much idea of what I wanted, Leigh got it perfect and adjusted how my make up needed to be based on my photographer! I couldn't recommend Leigh enough and know it won't be the last time I see her. Thank you so much xxx

I would highly recommend Leigh she did an amazing job for me. I was her first client on 15th August after the COVID restrictions were lifted and she was allowed to return to work. This was only 5 days before my special day so we were both a little nervous,but it didn’t take long for us to be at ease with one another. The final result at my trial and on the day was just Perfect and thanks to Leigh I looked and felt amazing . Thanks Leigh. X

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.

I can not recommend her enough! Thank you Leigh for everything 😊

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 💫✨
