I booked Emma in for hair and makeup for my brothers wedding... I was not looking my best after a nasty cold and needed some help to make me feel a bit more special! Emma was great, I felt instantly comfortable with her, she advised on colour and style but was guided by what I felt comfortable with. I was so happy with how it turned out and would highly recommend booking her in, I certainly will again for my next big event! Thanks Emma x

Throughout my communication with Emma, she was always prompt to respond and always answered any questions I had, she was not only professional, but kind too. It was very important to me that I could communicate what I wanted with my hair and makeup with ease and Emma was wonderful in helping me trial different hair styles without any fuss if changes needed to be made. My makeup was absolutely perfect and I have honestly never seen myself look as lovely as I did on my wedding day. Emma was able to accommodate my larger wedding party and everyone felt that they were really listened too throughout the styling. I couldn't recommend Emma enough for any events that you have and if you are a Bride-to-be yourself, I am certain that you will have your perfect hair and makeup ideas brought to life by Emma. I cannot thank her enough! X

It was a true delight meeting and working with Emma Olliff, she was not just easy to get along with, she is clearly very talented too. She listened carefully to my wishes and gave helpful advice, and made the bride and bridal party look and feel our personal best whilst using environmentally and animal friendly make up products. Thank you Emma!

Vera

Emma was great from start to finish! I really liked her approach to make up - personal and suitable for me and my style. I enjoyed the trial and Emma was very accommodating with the date and time. She made me feel very relaxed on the wedding day, went the extra mile for my daughter and was friendly and calm. The quality of products was high and my makeup stayed on all day. I felt special and did not worry about my look at all. I would certainly recommend Emma and think she deserves to win!

The makeup my bridesmaids, mum and I had on my Wedding day was so lovely. It suited us perfectly as it was exactly what we had asked for, and we loved the whole process. Emma made us feel comfortable and at ease, and we were so happy with the outcome as it was just what we wanted. Loved the natural but glowing look!

Hayley

I booked Emma for my wedding where she did hair and makeup for me, my mum and a bridesmaid.  At our trial Emma took the time to find out the style we all wanted and worked with us to ensure we all loved our look and felt comfortable. (This was perfect for three women who rarely wear makeup!) We never felt rushed and really felt like Emma listened to exactly what we wanted, even making suggestions if we were unsure of anything, such as the types of flowers I should order for my hair to ensure they lasted throughout the entire day.

On the day itself Emma had our hair and makeup running like clockwork - it was clear she had thought about how she was going to get everyone ready on time (in a very short time frame too as our ceremony was at midday)! She ensured our hair and makeup was applied as agreed in the trial and we all loved our look.

I had curls in my hair and was so pleased that they stayed in place all day - as someone with fine hair who struggles to do anything other than straight hair I was thrilled with this! The makeup also didn't move at all and still looked perfect by the end of the night.

Overall we were so pleased with the hair and makeup put together by Emma, I've already recommended her to a couple of friends that are getting married and wouldn't hesitate to book her again should I ever need professional hair and makeup!

The make up that Emma did was absolutely amazing, I was left with a flawless look right through the day and didn't even need to touch it up once and nor did the bridesmaids! She also brought along an amazingly calm personality, that really helped put my nerves at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you!

Gem

​Emma did an amazing job on the morning of my wedding, doing the hair and makeup for myself, my 2 bridesmaids and my mum. She really listened to what we wanted, and did a great job! I felt so comfortable all day and was really chuffed with both my hair and make up, as were my bridesmaids and mum!​

Emma is professional, punctual and organised.  She uses high-end products and most importantly really listens to you.  On top of that she is really talented at what she does.  I whole-heartedly recommend that you book to have your makeup done by Emma if you want to have a gorgeous natural look - you will not be disappointed.  

Daniella

All I can say is that I love, love love the makeup you did.  Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

My daughter booked Emma as her bridal hair and makeup artist for her wedding at the weekend... What a stroke of luck to find such a lovely easy going and accommodating make up artist who really listened to our requests and created perfect looks for not only Gemma but also her two bridesmaid and myself.Not easy to please everyone in a bridal party but Emma managed to do just that! Gemma had wanted a natural look as she doesn't usually wear much makeup..Emma created the perfect look that she felt comfortable with and she looked absolutely beautiful. The two bridesmaids looked stunning two and loved the look Emma had created.  For me Emma managed to calm my very troublesome redness/eczema prone face and I was so relieved and grateful for her expertise!  Many many thanks Emma for not only creating such beautiful looks but for being a pleasure to meet and have with us as part of Gemma's special day xx
​

Katy

I just wanted to say thank you so much. Having you come to our house took all the stress out of getting ready and you kept us all calm. I had so many compliments on my hair and make up! We had the most wonderful day and are still walking on air. ​
​

​Dawn

Thanks for the fab makeup lesson.  I feel so much more confident applying makeup now and am more adventurous with the colours I choose..  Can't recommend you enough.

Emma was outstanding both before and on the wedding day. She spent time listening carefully in our first meeting and made sure that I looked exactly as I wanted, even carefully altering and adapting her work until I felt completely comfortable. On the day she made me look exactly as I wanted - the best version of myself. She was also fabulous with my mum and bridesmaids, taking time and care with all of them and they all looked beautiful. One of my bridesmaids had unfortunately had an accident resulting in a black eye which Emma was able to magically cover so that my bridesmaid felt confident and happy on the day. As well as being a fantastic artist, Emma is also a lovely person. She enhanced the morning, making all of us feel comfortable and joining in our happiness with enthusiasm and a great sense of humour. I was incredibly nervous and Emma was wonderful, helping me to relax and feel confident about myself and the day. I can’t recommend her enough, she was absolutely perfect for us - fun, friendly and hugely talented. ​

I was initially drawn to Emma's work because the end result looked very natural, and that was exactly how I wanted my makeup to look.  I was not disappointed.  In fact I would go as far to say that her work ensured that my pictures were simply outstanding.  She made my makeup 'camera proof' and it looked fabulous all day and night long.  Thank you very much Emma; you work was faultless and I'd happily recommend you to anyone requiring a makeup artist for their wedding day.

Molly

Emma did my makeup for my Winter Wedding last Saturday. She also did my Mum's makeup and my two Bridesmaids. We were all thrilled with the end result and thought what a talented makeup artist Emma is! We all wanted to go for a very natural look, and Emma created this beautifully. It was exactly what we had hoped for; we had a natural look, but with a glow, and this really shows in the pictures. Emma was lovely, patient and friendly, and I felt really comfortable with her. I was getting more nervous as the time to leave was approaching but Emma put me at ease and helped me to relax. Thank you Emma!
​

Sharon

I just wanted to say it's been great meeting and working with you.  Thank you so much for your professional and friendly approach.  The make up and hair trial was fun, and it was lovely having you around when my wedding party, mum and I got ready on the day - especially your words of reassurances, and being understanding and creative when having to work in a room with little natural light, and free floor space!  My mum, maid of honour and bridesmaid looked amazing, and I too felt the best beautiful and natural version of me.  Thank you.  
​

Chrissy

Emma, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing job you did when you did my make up and hair for my wedding.  I had so many wonderful comments about my make up on the day!! Thank you again xx

​Jessie

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Emma for my makeup trial. I've had 3 absolutely disastrous experiences and so was very apprehensive for my 4th trial. However I'm absolutely thrilled with the makeup Emma did. She listened to what I wanted - but also made suggestions based on her experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and I'm really looking forward to my makeup for my wedding day next year. Thanks
​

Emma

I booked Emma as hair and makeup artist for my recent wedding (after a very disappointing trial with someone else) and I'm very pleased that I did!  She did a great job and the end result was just what I wanted - a natural yet 'done' look with a healthy glow for both me and my bridesmaid.  Our hairstyles were lovely too, and Emma really listened to what we had in mind and gave good advice.  She was also punctual, professional and good company throughout the morning of getting ready.  Thanks Emma.  I would totally recommend you.
​

Jennifer

Just like to say a HUGE thank you to you, Emma, for my hair and make up on my wedding day. You created the look to match my dress and theme of the wedding perfectly. The whole morning ran like clock-work which included hair and makeup for my bridesmaid. You were so incredibly patient when doing my fidgety flower girl's hair. My hair and makeup stayed flawless all day (and night!) and I couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Claire

I would highly recommend Emma as a hair & make up artist. I was over the moon with the look that she created. She is very professional and kept me very calm on the day. It lasted the whole day and didn't even need to be touched up.
​

Nicola

Thank you so much for my makeup lesson.  I've been following the same routine for years without ever thinking about it.  You've totally revolutionised the way I do my makeup now and have inspired me to try lots of new colours and looks.  Now when I look at myself I see a more youthful person looking back at me from the mirror now.  I really can't thank you enough.
​

Annie

My mum and I had a makeover session with Emma. She was incredibly professional, came with a huge variety of products and was able to give us lots of useful make up tips. We really had no idea about animal testing and products prior to this - but Emma has really made us rethink what we use on our skin, without any pressure whatsoever.  The end result was amazing and we were both extremely pleased with our looks. She was friendly with a great sense of humour, and made us feel totally comfortable. I particularly loved the eyelashes she used. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommend.
​

Susie

I wanted to email you to say a massive thank you for everything that you did last weekend. It was amazing to feel so completely pampered.  It honestly wasn't like having a professional there, it was like having one of my friends there.  My mum is still going on about how much she enjoyed having her make-up done. She looked absolutely fabulous and I know how poorly she was feeling; so thank you so much for taking care of her and making her feel pampered and special. 

Sara

Emma was friendly, kind and patient. Very professional and personable.
​

Leigh​

Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love .... nothing more to say.  Thank you for being a part of my wedding day and making me feel absolutely beautiful.  Cannot recommend highly enough.
​

​Lianne

Emma is fabulous!!  She really knows what she is doing and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable!!  I would highly recommend her to any brides to be looking for someone to do their hair and makeup.  She will make you look and feel like a princess.

Andie

I was initially drawn to Emma's work because the end result was very natural and that was exactly how I wanted my hair and make up to look. I was not disappointed! In fact I would go so far as to say that her work ensured the photos were simply outstanding. She made my make up ‘camera proof’ and it looked fabulous. Thank you very much Emma; your work was absolutely faultless and I’d strongly recommend you to anyone.
​

Emma

I just wanted to say a huge huge thank you for being part of my wedding day. You did an amazing job, I was so happy with it. I know we had some last minute changes but you were brilliant - and stayed calm throughout! You really helped to make me feel as relaxed as possible on the day and were great at handling the slightly chaotic environment around us! I have to admit that I think I only re-applied my lip gloss once - just before our photos but them completely forgot about my make-up - which probably meant it was perfect!
​

Jennifer

Emma really put me at ease - she is so incredibly calm and reassuring. I was thrilled with the results. It’s given me the confidence to try different colours and looks, making me much more confident in what suits me. I would highly recommend her.

​Grace

Emma was fantastic from the trial through to the day itself. I don’t normally wear a lot of make-up, so really loved the natural look that Emma is able to achieve effortlessly. It was lovely to have her there with us throughout the morning and she completed all the hair and make-up for my bridesmaids, Mum and I. I cannot recommend her enough as she made us feel all so relaxed and listened to everything we wanted throughout the day. I felt at ease knowing that I could leave all of my bridesmaids in safe hands, even assisting my Mum with ideas of how to attach the flowers in everyone’s hair. Thank you again Emma, you were fantastic and I will be recommending you to all my friends.
​

Heather

Thank you Emma for getting my special day off to a fantastic start!  I really enjoyed you transforming me and I felt fabulous all day.  You did a wonderful job on me and for were so patient with me!  I had loads of compliments and my mum said how natural it looked, which is the highest praise I could have received.
​

Leesa

Emma is an outstanding makeup artist who made us all look great! She listened really carefully to what we wanted and made us look exactly as we wished. She was also fantastic to have on the wedding morning; she created a really happy, calm atmosphere and helped me, as a really nervous bride, to feel relaxed and happy. The quality of her artistry was amazing and I absolutely recommend her.

Lauren

Emma was an absolute delight and just what I needed on my wedding day!  She kept me chilled and relaxed and did my hair and makeup perfectly.  I loved it all and it lasted all day and night.

My bridesmaids and my mum also looked beautiful and were over the moon with their makeup and hair.

At my trial I was unsure about what I wanted, but Emma offered her helpful advice and tips and by the end of the trial was totally in love with my look.  She provided exactly the advice I needed and this was something I did not get with other trials I had done.  

Emma and her team are lovely and they really listen to what you want whilst guiding and advising you on what would compliment and enhace the natural you.  I would 100% recommend Emma as a hair and makeup artist for any bride.
​

Stephanie

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for doing the hair and makeup for my wedding.  

You were so easygoing and friendly throughout and I felt I had another friend there with us getting ready!  You immediately understood exactly what I wanted and executed it to perfection.  I was thrilled with my hair and makeup and got so many compliments on it throughout the day.    Your planning also made the wedding morning go so calmly and smoothly.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed being made up and left the house feeling very special. and confident.  I couldn't have asked for more.  Thank you so much, Emma x 

Julia

I never realised how much difference 1 makeup lesson could make.  Thank you so much Emma for a fabulous session.  You gave me so many tips and tricks and opened up my eyes to a whole world of colour that I would otherwise avoid.
​  

Sarah

Emma, did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and make-up for my wedding. She listened to what I wanted and was so friendly, calm and professional throughout the morning of getting ready (doing hair for 3 bridesmaids and also make-up for my mum who hardly ever wears make-up and loved how Emma made her look – lovely but natural). The hair and make-up lasted all day and into the night and I had so many complements. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Emma!
​

Catherine

Myself and a friend were recently bridesmaids for a friends wedding and we booked Emma to do our hair and makeup.  As neither of us live in the area, we didn't book a trial, so were slightly nervous about how everything would be.  There was no need to worry, Emma was truly fabulous.  She listened to what we wanted, and was so patient, even when we kept changing our minds.  I honestly can't recommend Emma enough, she was a pleasure to have around and the end result she created was completely perfect, in fact she exceeded our expectations. x

​Hannah

I cannot believe a month has passed since Richard and I got married.  But we just wanted to say a massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our wedding day.  The whole day went off so seamlessly and was completely amazing.  We are so sorry that we haven't thanked you sooner.  But we are singing your praises and referring you to everyone we know who is getting married.  I was so pleased with both my hair and makeup, so was Em.   I can't recommend you highly enough!
​

Rebecca

Emma did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, along with my 2 bridesmaids and 2 mother of the Brides.  I first met her when I was a bridesmaid for my friend, and I knew straight away that I wanted her to do mine too.  

Emma was so incredibly lovely and very calming to have a around.  My hair and makeup was absolutely stunning, I was so happy.  I rarely wear any makeup and she managed to make me feel completely like myself.  Plus it stayed on all day and night, after many hours of dancing.  

I would highly recommend Emma, she really is fantastic.
​

Tia

Emma is super talented! She did my bridal makeup yesterday and it lasted all day perfectly and felt natural and beautiful. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Thank you Emma.

​Jen

I just wanted to say thank you very much for doing the hair and makeup for my wedding!  

You were such a calming influence on the day and I was so happy with the final result.  Which is a huge compliment as I'm so fussy about these things!
​

Nell

I was so glad that I found Emma to do the hair and makeup for my wedding. I was very nervous following a rather bad experience with someone else, and this had left me  unsure of what I wanted. Emma, was fantastic and spent ages at the trial creating the perfect look for me, taking all elements like the dress/style into consideration, and not leaving until she knew I was 100% happy. I couldn't have asked for better! The make-up products she uses are amazing and it didn't feel like I had any makeup on.

She also did the makeup for my sister on the day who has very sensitive skin but the quality of the products was such that she had no problems at all. Everyone commented at how amazing both our hair and makeup looked and the best thing was that it lasted well into the early hours, so we still look radiant and perfect in all the photos!!!  
​
Not only is Emma a fantastic make-up artist, but she is such a lovely person and was a pleasure to have around on the morning of my wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and will certainly be in touch when I want my hair and make-up done again! Thanks again Emma. x
