For trial appointments, the remaining balance is payable on the day of your trial appointment. The booking fee will be deducted from the final amount payable. For wedding bookings, 50% of your wedding day fee will be due within one week of trial, with the balance due 4 weeks prior to your wedding day by bank transfer or 48 hours after the trial if booked within 4 weeks of your wedding date.
Apologies for the delay, I have had this sitting in my drafts and only just realised I didn't press send! I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your make-up services at our wedding. I was so pleased with the gorgeous makeup you did for me, my bridesmaids, mum and mother-in-law. It was the exact look I wanted, and lasted all day and all night!

I saw Dawn for a makeover and lesson. Dawn makes you feel immediately at ease and we had a good giggle together during the session. I had been having some trouble with my skin and Dawn went through everything with me and she very quickly identified what had been causing me issues. My skin problems have since resolved since visiting her. The make up lesson was amazing, Dawn created two really lovely looks for me and talked me through the products and how to apply them. I learned so much and she helped me feel more confident with what to do myself. I would visit Dawn again in a heartbeat. She is

Dawn is a very talented HMUA. She is driven, creative and a has natural flair for her job. She has excellent knowledge of the industry and knows instinctively what look will suit her model. I have worked with Dawn on several styled wedding shoots including one she designed and co-ordinated herself. She is able to communicate her vision and ideas clearly and effectively and is fun to work with. I hope to work with Dawn again soon.

I had Dawn do my hair for my registry office wedding an up do, and my wedding in the woods with hair extensions and real flowers. Dawn was so accommodating as I was a bit indecisive and wanted to try many different styles. All of which were amazing. On both days my hair and makeup were even better as she took her time and made sure everything was perfect. My sisters and my mum also had their hair done by Dawn and she is amazing at doing all ages.
My sister cried and said I have never looked this pretty. I was over the moon with her work. I think she is very professional friendly, creative and

I recently visited Dawn to have my make up and hair styled. I can highly recommend this very professional and talented artist. My make up was outstanding as with my hair styling. I can easily see why she is an awarding winning expert in her field. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable and glamorous for my very special event.

A very professional and wonderful lady to work with. Dawn will listen to what you would like and will also offer her professional opinion. My hair and make up was fantastic and lasted all day. It was made even special by Dawn's fabulous work by creating me a handmade hair vine which looked stunning.
Dawn also worked with my young bridesmaids who's hair was a challenge! Nothing was too much. The girls looked amazing, thank you. You went above and beyond your duty.
I just want to personally thank you for making the morning so fun and relaxed, it was a fantastic start to the best day ever!

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!
I had my make up done by Dawn numerous times and I would not use anyone else.
Every time my make up was truly stunning and and I am so happy to say not even once I wanted to change anything (people who know me would be shocked as I always find something 😋)
I had so many incredible looks created by Dawn from something very simple and elegant to the full on evening make up. She listens to everything I want every time! Moving further, the quality of her make up is just impeccable and you can really see that by the end of the night when your make up still looks as it's just

Dawn is brilliant - reliable, professional, friendly and talented, I highly recommend her. I had a great trial with Dawn and felt she really listened to what I wanted and gave me advice on what would suit me for both make-up and hair for my wedding. Then even though I had some new ideas by the time the wedding day came, she adapted without hesitation and created a look that was perfect for me. She even took the time to give me the list of products she used when I asked for them afterwards so I can recreate the make-up myself. I couldn't recommend Dawn enough, I'm really glad I was able to work

I used Dawn for my wedding hair and make up in November and two/three times after because I was so impressed.
Dawn is such a lovely person and so easy to talk too and knew exactly what I wanted even when I didn't know myself! I would highly recommend her to anyone and I honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. Can't wait to go to a next big do so I can treat myself again!

Dawn has done my hair and make-up numerous amounts of times and may I just say - has done the most amazing job every time - everything is to perfect quality and lasts all day until I remove any hairstyle or make up myself. Not only do you get made to look fabulous and be made to feel beautiful for the day, but she is also great company and a great laugh too. I definitely recommend anybody to use Dawn for their wedding or for any special day. I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!
