Here is my journey into Bridal

I’m Rebecca – a bridal hairstylist and makeup artist, I am passionate about creating natural soft looks that you will love for decades by enhancing your natural beauty.

With 8+ years of experience in hairstyling, hair extensions, colour, and more recently professional makeup artistry, I offer a full beauty service for brides who want to feel and look their most natural, beautiful and confident self on their wedding day.

My signature style is soft waves and skin-focused makeup, every detail is carefully mapped out and designed to be as long lasting as possible and enhance your natural beauty without covering it up.

My Journey into Bridal Beauty

Let me take you back. When I was 16+ I loved everything hair / make up and fashion. I had a Saturday job at a salon when I was 16 and I got to model for Loreal doing a new colour launch and I was made up (its still my claim to fame haha)

I wanted to pursue beauty then but I was told only dropouts do hair / beauty. So I went the traditional route, and applied for fashion college and I didn’t get accepted so I went into graphic design.

Less than 1 year later, you guessed it, I dropped out, I hated it.

A few years later I had rebelled and went to London and I wanted to do hair and make up for film and theatre, but 19 year old me dint have the funds to support that so I got a position in a salon as an apprentice. (it was fucking brutal) getting shouted at for making coffees wrong. This didnt last long. I didnt think I was cut out for any hair, make up or fashion career because I was so introverted for such cut throat industries.

So from there I spent many years job hopping mainly in retail, advertising and admin jobs.

When I returned to the Uk after living in the Middle East on and off for years, I was again in retain and still miserable. At this time I was 23, and after I hit my breaking point at 24 I decided to return to college to do hair. I would have done beauty but I wasn’t into the manicure and pedicure bits just to learn a small part of make up.

It wasn’t long after I joined violet white salon and I wanted to do more styling instead of colour but again I was told colour pays the bills, styling doesn’t.

To cut a long story short, and if you have made it here I wont keep you too much longer haha, After my first daughter was born in 2023, it dawned on me that I would always want her to peruse her dream and I would tell her to do what makes her happy and not to let obstacles get in her way. Sooooo here we are…..

I am finally pursuing my dream of providing a hair and make up service to brides who don’t often wear a lot of make up or get time to do their hair (if they know what they are doing at all) feel so confident in themself on their wedding day.

PS. There might be a lot of grammatical errors in my story but its from my heart and better than chat GPT could ever right hahaha.
