Powder and Pin did my bridal hair and make up for myself and three bridesmaids. We were all absolutely delighted with how we looked on the day and in the photos. Right from my initial enquiry, the service I received was outstanding. All my emails (and there were quite a few!) were answered really helpfully and quickly. At my trial, Sarah really took the time to listen to me and create the look I was after - I’m a big fan of keeping as natural as possible, and I felt like I looked like myself - just the very best version. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Martha were so nice to have there getting us all ready - friendly, helpful and reassuring. There was a great atmosphere and it felt really fun and exciting, and having professionals there just completely takes the pressure off. Honestly, so highly recommended - thanks a million! :)

I could not recommend Sarah enough. Right from the start of my hair trial it felt like we had been friends for years. She listened to what I wanted (even though I wasn’t super sure) and helped me decide on my perfect wedding hair. I explained that I wanted it up for the ceremony but with the option to take it down in the evening and she made that possible.
I loved my wedding hair so much and would not hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone. ❤️❤️

I highly recommend Powder & Pin for hair and makeup. Claire was the makeup artist for my wedding and Sarah was our hair stylist. They are both so friendly and make you feel at ease. They were able to recreate exactly what I’d shown them in pictures and our hair and makeup stayed perfect all day and night - We received so many compliments! I organised it all through Sarah who was very quick and helpful at responding to emails. I cannot recommend them enough!

Sarah is a great make up artist who made me feel very comfortable on my wedding day. I can’t recommend Sarah enough - she went above and beyond to ensure my makeup was exactly as I wanted and that my hair looked great for the big day.

Sarah was absolutely amazing - she did my hair for my wedding and also 3 bridesmaids and mother of the bride. We were all amazed at how quickly she can do such beautiful styles - making the morning of the wedding relaxed and smooth running. She even coped with me changing my mind in the last minute. Thank you so much!

Sarah and her wonderful team did myself and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. Sarah is so talented and created beautiful styles for us all. She fitted in so well and made me feel so at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

“I had a fantastic trial with Sarah. She was so helpful and looked at all of my ideas for hair and makeup and helped to bring them all together into to one look, which I am really happy with! Most important of all, she made the whole experience, really good fun and relaxed. She will be doing the hair and makeup for myself and my six bridesmaids for my wedding day in a couple of weeks and I can not wait :)”

Sarah did my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with my bridesmaids and my mum. We all have very different hair and she was able to tailor the styles to suit us perfectly. The style stayed in place throughout the day without feeling heavy or pulling, even with my veil being attached and unattached! I dont tend to wear any makeup in my day to day life, so was slightly nervous about being made up for my big day, but I needn’t have been as Sarah made it look so natural and feel so light, it felt like a photo shopped version of my natural look. Would 100% recommend Sarah!

Sarah is an absolute gem. She recently styled myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding day and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, helpful and creative person to make us up on my day. She listens to direction brilliantly and nothing phases her, I had numerous questions and changes and this was not a problem at all. My bridesmaids looked stunning and the compliments I received on my hair and makeup kept flowing all day! I highly recommend Powder and Pin and would use them again and again if I could get married more than once! Thank you for the beautiful job you did Sarah.

I cannot recommend Powder and Pin for bridal and bridal party hair and make up highly enough! Sarah is the absolute dream - so understanding and herself and her colleague Claire were the best people to have around on my wedding morning. They made everyone feel at ease and are so talented! A definite must choose supplier for your wedding day!

“Sarah did an amazing job of styling my hair on my wedding day - I couldn’t have been happier with it! I had so many compliments on the day. I had a trial with Sarah before the big day which was a great opportunity to try a few styles and work out what I wanted so when it came to the wedding day I knew I was in very safe hands. Sarah has a lovely calm aura and was a pleasure to have around on my wedding day! I would highly recommend booking Powder and Pin!”

“I found Powder and Pin by searching Google and was really impressed with their work on the website. Sarah was quick to reply to my enquiry and was really friendly and helpful over email. This friendliness and warmth carried on over into my makeup trial and Sarah was really chatty and made me feel totally at ease. As someone who doesn’t know a lot about makeup, Sarah was able to make suggestions on what would work well for the natural look that I wanted. Sarah applied it beautifully and made me feel totally myself. On the day of my wedding Sarah and her colleague, Claire, came to our hotel and did hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids, my mother and myself. The whole morning was really relaxed and a total pleasure and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup, which stayed perfect for the entire duration of the day. I really cant thank Sarah enough for her work and would recommend Powder & Pin to anyone who wants high quality makeup and hair with a warm, friendly and affordable service.”
