Recommendations for Hair/Make up - North East/Tyne & Wear

gj195

Hello everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone can recommend a good make up artist or hair dresser in the north east. I've found a few through google, but one i have contacted wants £150 deposit :eek:, and is going to charge about £76 for travel to my venue and i don't know if she's any good. I would rather find people through personal recommendation, and i don't mind saving up for it, just want someone who won't make me look like sally ann!!

Thank you in advance,

Hey foofighter, haven't been to metrocentre yet but i've found... (oh i'm not associated with any of these and don't know what they are like - this is just thanks to google!)

as one beauty in newcastle,
Jane bolam - make up artist
Amanda Williamson - Hair
Kate Pymm - Hair & Make up

Again, i'd rather have some recommendations as these are quite expensive (not v. MSE) and i want people who i know do a good job before forking out deposits!!

I have booked Tally Crawford for my make-up, im in stockton and getting married at Rushpool hall in Saltburn, im not sure how far she travels but she is really good & great to get on with. she is Dior trained and thats what products she uses, i am paying £60 bride £50 bridesmaids including trial and false lashes if i want them which i thionk is a really good price, i met her at a wedding fair. she has done a lot of work with the fashion designer kate fearnley & make-up for photoshoots.
i can send you her contact details if you want them

just to add, i had to pay 50% deposit, so £80 for me & 2 bridesmaids, i will get my trial for that and she will come to my venue on the morning and stay with us until we leave for the ceremony, to give us any touch ups incase their is any tears

Wow, miss_w, that's an amazing price, could you pm her contact details and i'll see if she'll travel up to newcastle, i expect even with extra travel costs that's still really a good price! :T

I'm at a wedding fayre today at my venue so i'll see if there is anyone there and i'll post my findings!

I did my own, nothing worse than not looking like yourself when you get married.!!

I'm having kay mcdonald to do my hair and make up she charges £25 for hair and £25 for makeup

so £50 in total for the day which i thought was really good

don't think she has a site but shes on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Princess-wedding-hair-makeup/141897289167504

hopefully thats a working link lol i'm rubbish at them she was one of the more professional sounding people i spoke to and tbh the price made me book it

Thanks for the link poppy I will check her out Gj thanks for the names! There was a north east make-up and beauty forum sometime ago that had a few local people on it but I just can't find it now, not even in my faves! I don't really have many people to ask as most people I know did there own make-up. I might end up going with my own hairdresser but having someone else for my make-up. I'm so behind :eek:
