Hi, I’m Vicky.

I’m a hair and makeup artist specialising in natural bridal hair and makeup – thanks so much for stopping by! I’m based in Chelmsford (Essex), but travel throughout the UK for weddings.

I’m super passionate about helping my clients to feel their most confident on their wedding day, without caking on tonnes of makeup. Think skin that looks like skin, and hair with a little natural texture and movement! I’m a firm believer that there are no rules when it comes to your wedding day, so I’m always working to create a look that YOU will feel comfortable in.

I’ve been doing hair and makeup professionally for around 6 years, but I’ve always found fashion and beauty fascinating.

Starting with my dream matte mousse phase in my teens (thankfully I’ve moved on from there), to running a beauty blog in my early 20s, and finally to today where I’ve helped hundreds of brides with the natural hair and makeup of their dreams!

I’ve also struggled personally with my confidence and body image (I’m a work in progress), and I know from experience just how much pressure there is to look perfect in the run up to your wedding. With that in mind, my chair will always be a safe, judgement free space for my brides/marriers, and I’ll never push you to wear something you’re not comfortable in.

The Girl Behind The Brushes

  • I’m a real book worm, I absolutely love getting lost in a book – romance, thrillers and historical fiction are my current favourite genres.

  • I have 2 cats (who are essentially my hairy children), and if it wasn’t for my husband I would probably have many more!

  • I love to walk, and try my best to do it daily. In an ideal world somewhere pretty, but even just pounding the pavements on my local streets does wonders for me.

  • Chocolate is 100% the way to my heart, I probably eat a bit too much of it (but is there really such thing as too much chocolate?!).

  • I’ve been married since 2018, and my husband is definitely my best friend (even if he won’t let me get another cat).
