Hi, I’m Vicky.

I’m a wedding hair and makeup artist based in Chelmsford, Essex. I specialise in modern, natural makeup, and romantic, effortless hair for brides (or however you identify) throughout the UK.

I’m super passionate about helping everyone who sits in my chair to feel as comfortable and confident as possible, no matter your age, size, skin tone or gender identity.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

“Besides from my glowing, natural, cruelty free makeup look that Vicky did for me, the experience I took away most was how calm and relaxed Vicky made me feel for my wedding”

FAQs

  • Absolutely! Some people will tell you that you need to wear lots of makeup just because it’s your wedding day. Personally I think that’s a load of rubbish, and I’ll never push you to wear something you don’t feel comfortable in.

  • Yes! Don’t feel as if you have to straighten out your beautiful hair texture unless you want to. I’m fully trained in curly hair, so I can help you make the most of your curls for your big day.

  • Yes! Where it’s not possible to get everyone ready by myself, I have a team of additional artists I can arrange to help with your bridal party - meaning you can have everyone’s hair and makeup covered under one booking, and I’ll sort the logisitics for you. Feel free to get in contact to discuss your requirements.

  • No, I’m proud to say my kit is 100% cruelty free so I don’t use any brands that take part in animal testing - Charlotte Tilbury, Living Proof, Beauty Pie and Delilah to name a few. I can also offer a vegan service on request.
