‘I am so happy I chose Ashley to do my hair and make up for my wedding. She was fantastic. I'd seen from her Instagram that she keeps things natural and knew that was what I wanted for my day. She was so accommodating when I asked to tweak my hair / make up from the trial and I was so so happy with the finished look. I messaged her the next day because I just couldn't believe how well everything lasted right up until midnight!
Ashley also has a lovely, warm energy that is nice to be around on such a special day.
Shout out as well to MUA Victoria Bradfield too, who Ashley recruited for the morning to do all my bridesmaids' make up. She was also amazing and everyone was so happy with their finished looks.’

If you are looking for a makeup artist and/or hairstylist (or the dream combo of both!) then LOOK NO FURTHER!
From the moment I met Ash, for my trial, she was warm, friendly, charismatic and immediately put me at ease. Whilst I am someone who LOVES my hair and makeup looking good I'm actually not great at having it done as it can make me feel a bit anxious.....but not with Ash. She is an expert at what she does, she listens so carefully to what you want to achieve and then somehow, magically, comes up with a WAY better version of what you ever could've imagined! I wasn't sure whether I needed a trial but the level of planning Ash puts into this session makes it worth every penny. I walked away brimming with confidence that, come the day, my look was going to be spot on.
On the day of our wedding Ash was super punctual and cool as a cucumber throughout. I am a total stress head but her presence was actually really calming. She not only gave me more self-confidence than I've had in....well....forever, but she also added a personal sense of fun and support throughout the whole morning. Like having a friend in the room who also happens to be a top notch hair and makeup artist! ;) Myself and my two bridesmaids had both our hair and makeup done by Ash. Two fairly natural looks and one very glamorous, she absolutely bossed them all.
I cannot recommend Ash and her services enough. What an asset she is. You will genuinely thank yourself for finding her and booking her :) xx

“I had booked Ash for my wedding and also previously she had also done my make up as a Bridesmaid a couple of years back.
The quality of her work alongside the products she uses is exceptional. She uses Charlotte Tilbury which is one of my favourites.
Ash advocates Natural Beauty, applying appropriate amounts of makeup to enhance your best features, ensuring and spots/blemishes are covered up as well as the make up lasting the entire day and evening.
Alongside her amazing work she also is so friendly, patient and understanding and as Bride most certainly calmed my nerves. She is an incredibly talented and passionate artist.
In light of Covid restrictions she complied with all the rules and regulations and made me feel comfortable. This most certainly won’t be the last time I will use her services for make-up and also have referred her to friends and family members. “Pri - London

“Ash is AMAZING!! I booked her to do the hair & makeup for my wedding and she was fantastic, for the first time in my life I felt beautiful! Her make up makes you look like you but a better version of you than you could ever imagine. Nothing is impossible, and when I was torn between 2 styles at my hair trial, Ash managed to create a 2-in-1 so I could have them both on the day - starting off with it up, and then with a few simple pins removed I went to half-up half down without compromising the look! I have said it to so many people - Ash is my fairy godmother and I cannot recommend her enough! “

“I would highly recommend Ashley, she was a pleasure to have around on the morning of my wedding. She was a calming influence as well as making us all feel beautiful! Ashley’s make up is natural but glam. I loved my make up and I’m not used to wearing much make up but it was just right. I wish she could do my make up everyday! Thank you Ashley! “

“I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for Saturday! My hair and make-up was perfect all day and the bridesmaids and my mum looked knockout. You did such an incredible job!
Thank you also for how amazing you were on the morning. It was all so chilled and lovely, and I couldn’t have felt more calm and at ease with you getting us ready. Just the nicest way to spend my wedding morning!
Thank you so much. Looking forward to doing it all again at Fiona’s! “

“I booked Ashley a couple of years ago to do hair and make-up for my wedding. Through all the changes brought about by covid, I didn’t know if we’d be able to get married or what that wedding would look like until about 4 weeks before the wedding date.
Ashley was amazingly patient whilst we tried to get everything sorted and she even managed to squeeze in a trial once we knew we could go ahead.
I don’t wear much make-up usually but wanted to look my best for the wedding. Ashley took the time to listen to what I wanted. She kept my make-up light and natural but my skin looked flawless and I felt amazing (and comfortable) all day! It all looks just as good in the photos as well.
After looking at a few photos of my dress and some ideas I had found online, Ashley created the perfect soft “up” do using some hair clips that I wanted to incorporate as well.
She also did the hair and make-up for my two bridesmaids and my Mum, all of whom wanted something different. She did it all and they looked amazing.
The morning ran like clockwork, with enough buffer time built in so at no point during the morning did we feel rushed and she waited patiently at those moments when getting any of us to sit still was probably challenge.
She was friendly and very much part of the chatting and laughter all morning (whilst gently encouraging us to sit still sometimes).
I’m so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to recommend her.”Kellie - Norfolk

“I was looking for a hair and make-up artist who could create a relaxed, natural and glowing look for my wedding day - so I still looked like myself but a beautiful version! Ashley's 'boho' style was exactly what I wanted, and I'm so glad I found her. She is both incredibly talented and incredibly lovely, a calming and friendly presence in the midst of some wedding morning stress and flapping from everyone else! I felt beautiful all day, and everything stayed in place despite high winds and hours of energetic dancing. I cannot thank her enough, she really went above and beyond to make sure the whole bridal party (mum, sister and bridesmaids) looked their best. x”

"Ashley, We've just got back from honeymoon and I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you so so much for everything on the 8th, you were absolutely brilliant and I felt so relaxed knowing you were in charge of my face and hair! I really can't thank you enough. All my best, Jess xxx -

"Dear Ashley, Thank you for the great work you did for my mum, bridesmaids and me on our hair and makeup back in June! I had never appreciated why artists are associated with makeup but you are definitely an artist! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup on the day- you really nailed it! Love Katie X.

" Ashley did an absolutely incredible job on hair and makeup for me and mum for my wedding back in July, as well as hair for my five bridesmaids. It was a joy having her around while we were getting ready, keeping us laughing as well as making sure that timings ran smoothly. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

" Hi lovely, I really want to say an enormous ENORMOUS thank you to you. Not only are you utterly brilliant at what you do (I had so many compliments about my hair!) you were such a gorgeous presence to have around on the day. I will never forget that. I feel like I didn't say enough of a thank you or a goodbye at the time on the day and I'm sorry for that. Would you please send me the 2 pics of you and I from your insta? (You're going in the album ) I'd also love to know when you next have availability for eyebrows too? But seriously, thank you again. I owe Barney one for his recommendation of you. With much love, (The now married) Holly xxx

‘Ash was incredible from start to finish, from the bridal trial at her cool studio, to the wedding morning itself, she made me (and my bridal party) feel very relaxed. Most importantly for me, she provided a natural make up look on the day, and one that made me feel beautiful. All my bridesmaids commented on her talents, and her chilled yet warm energy, thanks so much again! Xx’

‘I don’t know where to start ! No words can describe how INCREDIBLE Ashley is. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and wow did she deliver. From the first trial to the final result on the big day she was so calm/ friendly and I felt so at ease with her creating the chosen look. I literally have never felt so amazing and she genuinely is a true friend now to myself and my family. She doesn’t just have an amazing talent with hair and makeup , she supports you on a day nerves are underlying by being so positive / full of energy and just a beautiful person. Thank you thank you thank you Ash.’
