Holly's hair and makeup training has encompassed a wide and varied range of skills. Holly was originally professionally trained by Brushstroke Hair & Makeup School at Shepparton Studios, London and at this amazing school Holly was trained for the television, film, theatre and fashion industry, covering hair and makeup skills for period styling, high fashion, editorial shoots, fashion campaigns, fashion houses, catwalk, music videos, red carpet events, celebrity clients, airbrushing, wig making, special effects and prosthetic sculpting. Holly is also trained to a senior level in hairdressing, cutting and colouring and professionally styling hair. Holly has an extreme passion and love of stylish blow drys! ​​

As a result of holly's in-depth training and previous experience, Holly has grown a true passion and fascination for period styling in both makeup and hair from Tudor into 21st Century modern. She has a real passion and flare for Vintage 1920's all the way through to present-day styling. Holly has learned the specific styling traits of each period. The beauty of really knowing the original form of an individual period of a hair and makeup style gives her the knowledge and diversity to alter the hair and makeup styling that is required into high fashion and modern looks. Holly feels this knowledge is an extremely important grounding and foundation to really understanding the way to create and interpret styles. She particularly loves creating styles that look vintage but are modern and fabulous.

Holly works for weddings in southern England. Oxford, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Surrey, Cambridgeshire, Worcestershire and London.
As a freelance stylist Holly will work anywhere in the world.

Holly's Testimonials

​'It’s been 5 months since we got married but I still look at our pictures and can’t believe how lucky I was on my wedding day. This was partly due to feeling like a princess, thanks to your amazing hair and make up skills. I received so many compliments, and my hair and make up lasted all day and all evening. From the minute I had my trial with you I knew that I was guaranteed to feel amazing on my day, and thanks to you, I did. I will always be grateful to have had you there on the day. You’ve got a special talent and I wish you all the best with making many more brides’ dreams come true. Lots of love, Lauren xx'
