REVIEWS

‘‘Working with Alice was an absolute pleasure. Alice was booked for bridal hair and make up but with very short notice also facilitated adding a bridesmaids make up to the job. My hair and make up lasted fantastically all day and all evening and I left my wedding reception looking just as I had when Alice completed her work. My hair was curled and didn’t drop and the make up remained fully intact. People commented on my hair a number of times throughout the day.

Alice is friendly and despite all the people and inevitable busy atmosphere that a wedding brings, she was a friendly and calming presence and an absolute pleasure to be around for the ‘getting ready’ period. I would not hesitate in recommending Alice who offers competitive prices and she made me feel very special on my important and exciting day. Thank you Alice’’

Alice did my hair and makeup for my wedding. The whole process was easy from having my trial through to the real thing on the day. She made me feel at ease as I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup or does much with my hair! She was able to do exactly what I wanted with my hair and makeup I loved it and felt amazing! She also did hair & makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and my mum who all looked beautiful. I would recommend Alice to any brides looking for hair & makeup, she is amazing at what she does!

If you're looking for a wedding hair and make-up stylist, look no further, Alice Porter is fantastic!
On a day-to-day basis, I don't wear any make-up and even when I go out, my limit is lip gloss and a bit of eyeliner. I have sensitive skin and very little experience with make-up, so when it came to choosing a stylist for my wedding I was very nervous.
After some Google searching and research I found Alice's website. I was impressed by how natural and elegant the hair and make-up looked in the pictures. After exchanging a few emails with Alice, in which we discussed my concerns (mentioned above), I felt very comfortable and decided to go ahead and arranged a hair and make-up trial with Alice.
The trial was a great experience and really calmed my nerves. Alice was lovely, she listened to what I wanted, I showed her some pictures and we tried a few different hairstyles and products and created the exact natural look I was hoping for; I was over the moon! Alice even gave me some tips on how to look after my skin on the run up to the wedding (which I followed religiously and quickly noticed an improvement in the condition of my skin).
On the morning of the wedding Alice was amazing. She was a lovely calming influence, very friendly and incredibly professional. She got to work on my bridesmaids first and then me.
I was so pleased with my final look, it was somehow even better than the trial; I felt like a million dollars. My bridesmaids loved their hair and make-up too and it filled them with joy and confidence.
Our make-up remained flawless all day, even though it was a warm sunny day.
I got loads of compliments on how beautiful my skin looked and how natural my make-up was. I was delighted!
I'm so grateful that I found Alice. She really helped make a special day even more wonderful. So, as I said at the beginning, look no further, Alice Porter is fantastic!
Thank you so much Alice!

Alice did such an amazing job of my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids for my big day. I’m not a big make up wearer usually so didn’t want to look over the top. My makeup was natural bridal but still me and I felt so confident. Communication was always great and nothing too much trouble. On the morning itself, she was calm and efficient which made it such a great atmosphere for getting ready. I can’t recommend her highly enough, thank you!

Alice’s wedding hair and make up was just out of this world. Her calm nature puts you at ease. Alice knew exactly what I was looking for from just a couple of inspiration pictures, she made my look more than what I could ever imagined. Alice’s advise on make up was also extraordinary, she knew what colours/look would suit me within an instant and told me on each step what she was doing and adding to the look. I received so many comments on my wedding day about my hair and make up. Would highly recommend.

Alice did the makeup and hair for my wedding in October 2021, she was amazing. I absolutely loved the look she created and she took the time to listen to what I wanted and asked for. I couldn’t have asked for more!

Alice was wonderful at doing my makeup for an event. She was professional and friendly from start to finish and made me feel really comfortable. The makeup looked lovely and stayed put all day! Highly recommend.

‘‘Alice and her assistant Mel did mine, my mothers and my 3 bridesmaids hair and make up on Friday 2nd August for my wedding! She has been amazing from the moment I chose her! After seeing and going to weddings where she had done the hair and make up, Alice was the clear choice for me. From listening and helping you me choose the style I wanted for me and my bridesmaids to offering advice as well as using the time so we weren’t rushing the morning to wedding, which helped keep my nerves at bay! Thank you again Alice xxx’’

‘‘Alice did make-up and hair for me, my bridesmaids, maid of honour, chief bridesmaid and make-up for my mum, and we were so happy with the results. She was very calm considering the mayhem of a hungover maid of honour, disaster of cake delivery and lots of comings and goings in and out of the room. My make up looked fresh all day even though it was a very humid and sticky day and my hair stayed put all day and evening. I would highly recommend Alice. Thank you Alice xxx’’

— Tracey

‘‘Alice was amazing and I LOVED my bridal hair and make up. It lasted all day and night and the hair stayed pinned for a couple of days! She was very helpful and flexible, understanding of all concerns and needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. Thoroughly recommended for any professional hair and make up needs. Thanks again, Alice’’

‘‘Recommended by a friend, Alice did a fab job with Hair and make up for my wedding on 27/08/17.

Alice is very professional, reliable and easy to deal with. Myself and the bridal party were very happy with our hair and make up-both of which lasted all day with no issues. 

Thank you Alice.’’

‘‘Hi Alice! WOW! Thank you so much for doing such beautiful hair and make up for us all.  My makeup stayed on really well (despite the heat) and my hair was still up and looking beautiful until the bitter end! I loved both so much and my bridesmaid felt the same too. Thanks again for all you did and being such a delight to have in the room too.’’

-Paula

‘‘Alice did my make-up and hair for my wedding day. She was very patient and creative during the hair trial when I struggled to find the look I wanted – she gave great ideas and I was pleased with the final hairstyle we settled on. On the day, Alice was a joy to have around as she was very calm and helpful despite the usual pre-wedding chaos! My make-up was very natural and lasted all day – I was very pleased with it and would recommend Alice.’’

- Abi

‘‘I would like to say a massive thank you to Alice for doing such a fantastic job on my hair and make up for my wedding, along with my mum and 3 bridesmaids. She did an amazing job on everyone and our hair and make up didn’t move (despite a lot of dancing!). She was always on time and professional throughout so THANK YOU again Alice. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Xxx’’

-Cat

‘‘Thank you so much Alice for doing my bridal hair and make up! You were amazing! I was very indecisive about what I wanted and ended up having two trials and then had a hair dressing nightmare the week before the wedding yet you still managed to create the perfect look on the day! I was so happy with it and all of my bridesmaids hair and make up was perfect too! Thanks again would thoroughly recommend xx’

‘‘Alice was recommended to me on a local Facebook page when I posted looking for someone to do hair and make up for me, my mum and my sister for my wedding in June 2019. Alice was quick to respond to my messages. Alice came to me for my trial and we discussed what I wanted for my hair and make up and she also discussed with my mum what she wanted on the day and was able to use my mums own make up as she has skin conditions which means she can not use most make up brands. Alice was friendly and professional from first contact right through to the finishing touches on the day. She was a calming influence for us all when things went wrong with the venue set up and I was suffering the usual bridal stresses. She helped keep me on track to being ready on time. Alice was even kind enough to let my sister use her spare straighteners and comb to curl my daughters hair when our crimpers wouldn’t work. Alice even went as far as to help tidy our prep room up when we were done getting ready. All our hairs and make up were perfect, exactly what we wanted and Alice even managed to cover up the white patch I had on my neck from my tan going patchy, both stayed perfect until the last guests left at 1:30am, I was actually quite sad to have to take the make up off! I would definitely recommend Alice, Friendly, Kind, professional and goes above and beyond. Thank you Alice’’

-Katie

‘‘Alice did the make-up for my wedding at the weekend and it was just beautiful. I struggle with oily combination skin and therefore my make-up doesn’t usually last all day but apart from touching up my lipstick after dinner it got me through my entire wedding day including my mum and my bridesmaid. I would highly recommend Alice.’’

- Kerrie

‘‘Hi Alice, I hope you’re well. Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on our hair and make up on Saturday. We all looked amazing 😍 So sorry for the last minute stress, it all just went to pot an hour or two before we left. Thanks for staying so cool under pressure!’’

-Annie

‘‘Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Alice for my daughters prom hair and make up.

She was so friendly and instantly put my daughter at ease. Both make up and hair looked amazing and my daughter was thrilled. Thank you Alice x’’

-Hannah

Amazing experience, Alice did my prom makeup and hair and it didn’t move all night
I’m so pleased with the results again and will use her services again in the future
