HAIR & MAKEUP
REAL WORDS FROM REAL BRIDES
Don't just take my word for it, here are a few amazing reviews from wonderful brides that I've had the honour of doing their hair and makeup.
"Beautiful hair and make-up from the loveliest lady
I got married last year (2022) in November, and from the moment of meeting Holly at her studio I knew I wanted her for my hair and make-up on my wedding day.
She immediately put me at ease, listened to what I wanted and gave advice when I needed it. She's such a warm and friendly woman, whose talent for hair and make-up shines through.
I couldn't have asked for more. I loved every part of my make-up, natural but still special, people were saying all day that I was glowing. And my hair was perfection and lasted the whole next day too!
I honestly couldn't recommend Holly highly enough. If you want the highest standard of hair and make-up alongside the kindest person, Holly is your girl!"
"Most perfect bridal makeup
From the second i hired Holly to do our wedding make up she was nothing but friendly and helpful, meeting her at the trial we were already glad we booked her as she was super fun and clicked well with us as a bridal party.
The make up itself on the day however was a whole different story, from someone who suffers with self confidence i was so close to not even looking in the mirror on the day of my wedding incase i didn’t like what i saw… Holly and my family convinced me to have a look and my gosh i was blown away by what Holly had done with my makeup. It was beyond perfect, exactly what i asked for and more. If your thinking of booking Holly for your wedding or any event please don’t hesitate she is worth her weight in gold ❤️"
"Bride and 8x Bridesmaids Hair and Make up
WELL where do i start with this fantastic company! I had a nightmare with the company i already had booked and was left needing hair and makeup for myself and my large party of bridesmaids with only a few months to go until the wedding! I was recommended Holly and i am so pleased i found her! Holly was so reassuring and accommodating in the initial booking stages and really went above and beyond for me! As Holly was unavailable for my wedding date Hannah, Beatriz and Michel were the team on the day and WOW! My trial with Hannah was so very relaxing and fun and she is an extremely friendly and talented artist! The day went without a hitch, having 8 bridesmaids was not an easy task but the team’s organisation and professionalism made it relaxing, seamless and so much fun! My hair and make up was exactly what i wanted and all of the bridesmaids looked incredible!!! They were all raving about the experience and how they looked and felt all day! Hannah also went above and beyond and helped with many little extras throughout the morning to help me feel even more special/beautiful… BIG BIG thank you to all of the team and if you are thinking of booking with Holly Ann Bridal.. DO IT IMMEDIATELY :)"
"Holly is Fantastic!
I couldn’t have wished for a lovelier lady to do my hair and make up for my wedding!
Holly was amazing from start to finish, she responded to my enquires the same day after I had to change my hair and make up supplier at relatively short notice. She did my make up in the soft glam way I asked for and my hair just like the ideas I had given her. I had so many complements and felt my very best thanks to her. On top of everything she’s absolutely lovely! Thank you Holly I really can’t say enough about how you made me feel so lovely xxx"
"Thank you for helping me look the best version of myself holly!
Holly was the best decision i've ever made for my micro wedding. She very pleasant to work with and literally with gentle hands. She is an incredible artist and as a person. Your talent, professionalism and kind relaxing spirit were very essential for my wedding to become more meaningful. Thank you so much holly. i wish i could thank you everyday <3. "
"Wedding Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist
Holly was my hair and make up artist for my wedding in July and I honestly could not have been happier with her services. I'd been a bit picky with MUA's and wanted someone who didn't just do a stereotypical 'bridal' look. I'd found Holly via Rock My Wedding and after looking through her portfolio, felt that she could be the perfect fit for the kind of look I wanted.
From the moment I sent my enquiry email, she was always responsive and communicative. Everything from arranging the trial to putting together the schedule for the day was easy - Holly took care of it with minimal fuss and made this aspect of wedding planning nice and straight forward.
As for my wedding look, I'd gone to my trial prepared with a clear idea and a few inspiration photos which allowed Holly to nail it in one go. She knew exactly what I wanted and knew how to re-create the look in a way that was flattering on me.
Her pricing structure is perfectly reasonable for the location and for the high quality brands she uses, so I was more than happy to pay. She's also bubbly and chatty which just puts you at ease, particularly on the big day.
Honestly, I can't fault her and would recommend her services in a heart beat."
"Holly is absolutely amazing
Holly is absolutely amazing - she did hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party for the wedding day and we were all blown away by how amazing she is! all of us absolutely loved our make up and hair. She also makes you feel completely at ease and is lovely to have around the morning of your wedding day. I absolutely loved my make up, got so many compliments and I didn't need to touch up my make up at all on the day!! Definitely book her, SHE IS THE BEST!! xxxx"
"Holly is a fantastic makeup artist and hair stylist
She really listened to what I wanted for my wedding and was flexible about making last minute changes on the day. She was a lovely, calming and positive influence whilst getting ready. I felt absolutely beautiful on the day and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her :)"
"Holly is amazing!
I couldn't be happier that I hired Holly (who came along with Beatriz) to do both mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Not only were they both SO friendly, they also did an absolutely incredible job in creating exactly what I'd pictured for the day. I spent ages researching the perfect person who could create a makeup look that was both flawless whilst not looking at all heavy, and Holly did just that. I'd definitely recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much Holly and Beatriz x"
"Beautiful hair and make-up; lovely stylist
Holly Ann Bridal provided the hair and make-up for my wedding. First of all she was an absolute delight to work with, very quick to communicate and so friendly and funny in person. We had a great time at my trial. I showed Holly a couple of ideas and she was amazing at creating a make up and hair look that suited me and that I loved. We were a large bridal party (8 people for hair and make-up) so Holly brought along two colleagues on the day who were also excellent. The three of them made our morning really fun and enjoyable. All of our make-up and hair lasted well into the night. Holly made sure mine was ‘dance proof’. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to any bride."
"Amazing - best hair and make up stylist ever
Holly is amazing!
If you are thinking of using her - do it!
She made me feel a million dollars and put me at ease throughout the whole morning.
She listened to me and took on board every comment I made. She is not only a great make up and hair stylist but also so much fun. She felt like one of the bridal party and honestly made my day!
Thank you so much."
"Simply the best!
Holly is super talented and I am so happy I booked her to do my wedding makeup. I didn’t have a trial but Holly perfected the look I was after. She was super organised, is a lovely person to be around and I found the whole experience relaxing. Holly also did my mum and aunts hair and both looked fab. I keep looking back at photos because I can’t believe how wonderful the look turned out to be. Thank you so much Holly!"
"Amazing bridal makeup
Holly was amazing on my wedding day. I loved her makeup products, Charlotte Tilbury is a favourite of mine and I received so many compliments on my makeup. I particularly loved the false eyelashes too, they looked very natural but made my eyelashes look so much fuller. My makeup stayed on all day and evening. Thanks so much Holly for making me feel beautiful and wedding ready, you were just brilliant and such a lovely person to have around too!"
"Incredible Hair & Makeup
Holly did my hair and makeup for my wedding day (along with bridesmaids and mother of the bride) and she was absolutely incredible. She listened to any feedback or changes I wanted to make after my trial and was very open to receiving the feedback - she wanted to ensure I was happy with the 'look' we were going for. I couldn't have been happier and not only did she make me feel incredibly beautiful on the day, she was also a very calming presence to have around. I also loved the fact that she really just enhanced everyone's natural beauty with her makeup skills. Couldn't recommend Holly enough! Thank you for being a part of my special day :)"
"Holly was an absolute super star!!! I cannot say enough good things!
My wedding makeup was flawless, while still looking natural and lasted the entire day. Holly uses the nicest products, everything smelt so lovely and felt weightless.
She is the sweetest and made us all feel totally at ease - especially my mum who was a little nervous getting her make up done but Holly did such a fantastic job and she looked perfect.
She was super organised and communication was excellent.
I know Holly doesn’t like accepting a compliment but I hope she will accept all of these comments as she totally wonderful 😆"
"Wedding 3rd June 2022 Michelle Applewhite-Holly Ann Bridal
I can not put into words how much Holly made me look and feel on my wedding day. From the run up to the wedding the wedding trial to the actual day for myself and my wedding party. Holly listened to what I thought I wanted with my make up and advised on colours that would suit me. And my hair looked and lasted all day and night. Holly made me feel very comfortable and put me and my party at ease straight away, I have never felt more special and amazing then I did on my wedding day. I am so glad that Holly was our make up and hair person on our day.. thank you so much."
"Book Holly for a seamfree experience !
I am so so glad I found Holly! Holly and her team put everyone at ease on the morning of the wedding and managed to keep us to a tight schedule whilst maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was so happy with the hair and make up (a few said it was the best they had ever looked)! I was delighted with my hair and make up - lovely soft glam look that lasted all day. Every bride should book Holly !!!!"
"Cannot recommend highly enough
Holly did my hair and make-up for my wedding and it was the best decision I could have made. She was able to determine exactly what I had in mind and reproduced it beautifully, adding her own suggestions which were completely in line with what I wanted. From the first email through to the day Holly was so friendly and helpful that I knew I was in safe hands. She was professional and talented and I could not have been happier with the finished result. Thank you so much Holly!"
"Holly is a super star!
I contacted Holly after my original hair dresser had to drop out just a few weeks before our wedding date, and she was more than flexible with fitting us in. Everything from getting me in to a trial with herself to arranging a schedule for the morning of the wedding.
Holly came to our venue, armed and ready with her selection of make up and styling tools and wasted no time in getting us ready for the day. She was an absolute delight to have by my side on such an important day, and her wonderful helper Beatrice was equally as important in getting us ready. Holly kept us calm and collected, her smile lighting up the room and reminding us that the day was one to treasure.
Holly is an absolute pleasure to have been with and I honestly wouldn't have had anyone else with us on the morning to get ready.
Thank you Holly and Beatrice. We can't recommend you enough."
"An Incredible HMUA Experience
I cannot get across how WONDERFUL Holly was.
Dealing with chaos of 13 people to get ready, and lots of changes.
Stepping in as photographer/DJ as needed.
Making all me and my girls look stunning.
Reassuring me and putting me totally at ease throughout the morning.
Holly has been wonderful since booking. She has been responsive, gave me a lovely trial experience, gave me gorgeous hair and make up, responding well to my fussiness and subsequent changes. Holly has put up with several changes to order/schedule/people, including adding people last minute.
On the morning Holly was on time, relaxed, went with the flow, supportive of us all, all whilst delivering stunning looks and being as lovely and chatty as she was at the trial.
I would 100% recommend Holly, so much so that one of my bridesmaids booked her after my wedding for her wedding next year."
"Holly was AMAZING!
I don't wear make up, so I did not know what I wanted and Holly was incredibly patient. I actually did 3 trials where I had different make up and different hair. Holly is super talented and can do a range of different styles.
She is flexible, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She was punctual and so funny. As the first point of contact for your wedding (especially during those first few moments of your big day) she was so calming and I really enjoyed my time with her.
I would 100% recommend!
Thank YOU so so much Holly!"
"Holly was fantastic from start to finish!!!
Such a beautiful person inside and out and made me, my mum and my sister feel like a million dollars on my wedding day.
Don't even think twice about hiring Holly for your wedding because you won't regret it!!!!"
"Could not recommend Holly highly enough!
I spent a long time trawling through hair & MUAs to find someone I felt confident trusting and am beyond happy I found Holly! Not only is she super talented but just the sweetest person too - a real blessing to have there the morning of! Listened carefully to any changes I wanted after the trial and couldn't have been happier with how my hair and make up turned out on the day! Thank you, Holly!"
"Holly is amazing.
She’s incredibly chilled yet very professional and reliable. Her make-up look is glowy and radiant with no texture, so there’s no risk of looking cakey on the big day. She’s also a specialist at transforming your eyes. My eyeshadow was literally perfect on the day. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would 100% recommend."
"Holly is an absolute dream!
A true master of her craft, she is patient and really listened to what I wanted for my makeup and hair on my wedding day. I felt and looked amazing (if I do say so myself) thanks to Holly. Booking Holly is one of the best decisions I made. Natalie x"
"Absolutely thrilled!
I was absolutely thrilled to have the lovely holly to do my hair makeup. She was super friendly and professional and did both my hair and makeup beautifully, perfectly creating the natural look I wanted. It really made my day feel extra special and gave me a confidence boost which I could not have achieved without her. I actually originally had a more local stylist booked but they cancelled less than a week before my wedding! By some miracle Holly was able to save me by allowing me to book last minute and did such an incredible job. I was so much happier having holly instead! I could not recommend Holly enough! 10/10!"
