I ended up cancelling a few days prior to the wedding. I hadn't heard from Rachael and had been unable to reach her on the mobile number provided. As a result, I looked up several reviews online which described her as unreliable and her services as underwhelming. I decided to not risk it and though I lost my deposit, that was potentially a very small price to pay in light of what could have been.

Do not bother - very let down and unprofessional

I booked Rachel to do my hair & make up for my wedding along with my 2 bridesmaids. She didn't turn up for the trial blaming a mix up with her computer. Being the forgiving type I booked another trial and she attended that one and a further one. However 4 days before my wedding I received an email addressed to the wrong person saying she had been in an accident and couldn't do my wedding, I emailed to clarify and received no response. My now husband contacted her and received a text from her husband along the lines of her being fatally ill. As such we felt guilty for being angry and just set about desperately trying to find someone else. I subsequently checked her Facebook and Twitter to see how she was doing and found that she was working the days after she emailed me and over the period of my wedding posting pictures and entries online. I was and still am livid. I luckily found someone else to cover my wedding but I would hate for anyone else to go through the same experience.

Not recommended

Not very impressed with Rachels service, she arrived early for both trial and on the day and always appeared in a rush, despite being paid a costly sum. The make up and hair 'resembled' supplied pictures but not accurately for everyone in my party. She didn't do my mums hair on the trial (or indeed wet my mums hair for the blow dry on the wedding day) so I felt it was fair to ask her to help lace my dress on the day which she did wrong, leaving a visible hole and a hoop unlaced. She seems very disorganised (even asking me for payment at the trial when I had already paid in full) and she was always rushing, ready to go elsewhere, don't expect much. Sadly wouldn't recommend to others.
