HOW DO I BOOK YOU AS MY WEDDING HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST AND WHAT COMES NEXT?

  • Drop me an email via my Contact page. I’ll reply with a quote based on the information you’ve given me, your Non Refundable Deposit Payment and Contract.

  • We have a video call consultation once the above has been paid. where we discuss your current logistics and creative ideas for your day. We also discuss any skin concerns you may have. I will give you professional recommendations for improvement ( Dermatologists, Aestheticians, Wedding Planners, Photographers, Hair Stylist and other creatives) where I can.

frequently asked questions for wedding hair and makeup
  • I love using high end, fashionable brands such as Lisa Eldridge Beauty, Hourglass, Pat Mcgrath Labs, Jillian Dempsey, Ilia Beauty, Eyeko, Cosmetics ala Carte, RMS Beauty and Ere Perez among makeup artist trade brands like Kryolan. BONUS if it’s Cruelty Free.

  • Yes. I have plenty of experience as a skin care specialist, items in my kit can be sectioned off if you’ve a nut or gluten allergy, so don’t worry. Get in touch and we can discuss your requirements at an initial consultation! In the meantime, be nosey at The List; my frequently and accurately updated directory to gluten free, nut free, sulphate free, vegan and cruelty free skincare and makeup products.

  • I like to leave around 2 hours. The first hour so I can get to know you and your skin a little via a mini consultation. The second hour is spent creating your makeup look.

  • I tend to do weddings that are in Surrey, London, Sussex and Berkshire.

  • It depends. I recommend clients of mine that need a long term skin plan have their trial around 1 month before their wedding day so their new treatment plan can take effect before then. If a new skincare plan isn’t needed then I recommend between 1 month and 3 months before your Wedding Day.

  • Makeup trials are usually held at a Professional Makeup Artist Space near my home in Surrey.

  • Yes, I cater for all Hair types- European/ Caucasian, and Afro and Multi Textured hair going up to a 4c. If you have a large Bridal party I can arrange an incredible hair stylist on your behalf.

  • MANY! I have been a Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist for Brides getting married at cool London wedding venues like 100 Barrington in Brixton, Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell, The Hackney and 11 Cadogan Gardens in Chelsea. I also love the drama of Hampton Court Palace, Hedsor House and Cliveden in Bucks and the botanical heaven of Kew Gardens and RHS Wisley in Surrey.

Kind words and written testimonials of London Surrey Wedding Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist and Skincare Expert Kylie McMichael

‘Kylie did a fabulous job for my wedding make up, as well as for my two bridesmaids and mum. Kylie is friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. After our initial meeting, she sent me some great recommendations for skin care products and my skin has looked and felt amazing since then!

On the day, Kylie was a great calming presence. She really went above and beyond to put me at ease, Kylie stayed with me past her booked time to make sure I was okay. I will forever remember Kylie putting on music from my favourite band right before I was leaving for the church to calm me down!

I also love that Kylie plants a tree (via National Trust) in the name of her brides - what a fabulous touch.

Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you Kylie!’ GEMMA

“ Kylie was the calm, down-to-earth, fabulously talented professional you want and need on the morning of your wedding! Right from the start, she was fantastic - reassuring, encouraging and she really does her research...creating a mood board so that you just know everything is going to be wonderful. Not only that, she worked her magic on my Mum (who is not usually in favour of having her make up or hair done!) so that she looked absolutely beautiful but still completely true to herself; she just shone! On the day, Kylie put us all at ease and I loved every exciting moment of our transformations. I have no hesitation in recommending Kylie - she ensured the day kicked off in style...our make up and hair looked amazing the whole day!“ KATE, THE PIG NEAR BATH

‘ My daughter recommended Kylie to me and I couldn’t have been happier!
From our great pre-wedding trial through to the wedding Kylie was helpful, informative and a great makeup artist. She put me and the three others she made up totally at ease with her warm personality and obvious experience.
I thoroughly recommend Kylie.’ FENELLA

‘ I keep coming across photos from Zoe's wedding. I can't believe how different she looked on the Friday evening compared to the Saturday. Without exaggeration, she looked like she had just stepped out of a magazine on both days, the level of physical confidence was an absolute joy to see. That is a fabulous superpower you have going on there!

Thank you again for taking the time to point me in the right direction of products that may work for my ageing and itchy skin. Also, for making me feel like a fabulous Mother of the Bride. A friend asked what my top five highlights of wedding. were. Watching you and Zoe (hair) work was definitely up there. It is all much appreciated.’- CHRISTINE
