    Meet Hayley: Your Bridal Beauty Expert

    From Birmingham to London to New York City, my journey in the world of beauty began with a passion for design. After studying Fashion Design & Marketing at the London College of Fashion, I fell in love with makeup during test shoots, discovering a natural talent that would shape my career.

    At the Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC, I honed my signature style, working on shoots for ELLE Magazine and with top brands like Clarins. My time at Kimara Ahnert Makeup Studio on Madison Avenue solidified my expertise in bridal makeup, where I created unforgettable looks and offered private lessons.

    In 2016, I returned to the West Midlands to establish my own business, specializing in bespoke bridal makeup. I believe every bride deserves a unique experience, and I take pride in crafting luxurious looks that reflect your individual beauty. Let’s make your wedding day unforgettable!

“She got the look I was going for spot on…she made my bridesmaids and mum feel like a million dollars, and was genuinely such a calming and positive influence on my wedding morning”.

What my brides say...

  • What you can’t see from her photographs is what a lovely person she is too, and what a difference this will make on the morning of your wedding, she really puts you at ease and has a giggle whilst doing a great job. — Morgan Prior, Tamworth

  • can’t recommend Hayley highly enough! She’s so organised that it made the whole process really easy. She sent me a schedule well in advance of my wedding day so I knew that I could relax and just enjoy the experience. — Natalie Pickton, Leamington Spa

  • I am normally extremely fussy with having my make-up done, however ever since the wedding, I have been trying to think of different reasons to have Hayley do my make up again! — Charlotte Pearson, Worcestershire
