From AWESOME PEOPLE who love our work.

Sam and her team did a fantastic job of doing the hair and makeup at my son’s wedding. Sam was so friendly and made the whole experience which was new to me very enjoyable. I was so pleased with my hair and makeup, Sam made me look and feel great. I would thoroughly recommend Sam and her team. Xx

Sam is amazing! I used her for my prom in 2018 and again for my wedding this month. There were 5 of us on the day and she ensured that we were all ready with enough time to relax and have photos before the day started. She is very patient and makes you feel comfortable to try different things, in order to make sure you are happy with the end result. We were all very happy with her work and I couldn't recommend her enough!

Sam was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding.
From first contact I knew she would be the ideal person to style me and my (now wife).

The trail day was magical, as Sam captured exactly was I was looking for doubled that expectation x100!
I have Fibromyalgia so used to my skin looking red/purple with deep bags.
Sam made me look bright and fresh faces with a lovely glow.

On the day, the final look was beautiful. I had hair extensions added in for volume and they were perfect. No-one knew it wasn’t all my own hair.

With my dress on, I felt the prettiest I’d felt ever in my life.
All of our guests commented on how happy and healthy I looked and that I was the most stunning bride they had ever seen.

I couldn’t wait to see my wife waiting at the end of the aisle.
She looked fantastic, her hair in a beautiful little quiff. She never wears makeup, but Sam found a look to accentuate her eyes which defined her whole face and looked so gentle.

Sam also styled my mum and sister and they were complimented the whole day too on their look.

I felt very safe on the day of my wedding. I knew Sam was going to make me look wonderful, so I was very calm amongst all the other chaos going on around me.

My makeup and hair lasted into the next day, so the day after I was able to rock the look until bedtime until I begrudgingly had to take the makeup off and the extensions out.

My wife and I felt seen, heard and well cared for by Sam on the day. Thanks for being brilliant and making us feel so pretty!

I had a recent make up lesson with Sam and it couldn't have gone any better. The atmosphere in her studio was comfortable and relaxing and Sam herself is so kind and friendly this enabled me to get the most benefit from my lesson. Applying make up myself under her tuition was an invaluable experience and her knowledge of products and colour matching was extensive. I asked for a healthy fresh everyday glow and that's exactly what I got! I now feel confident to replicate my new look at home. Thank you Sam 😊.

I had such a lovely experience with Sam! She came to my home and instantly made me feel comfortable. She understood exactly what I was trying to describe, even when I didn’t know the technical terms, and took the time to explain what would work best for my hair type and facial features.

Sam was so friendly, approachable and easy to talk to, and her knowledge and advice really put me at ease. She was absolutely lovely from start to finish, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I’ll definitely be booking with Sam again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! 🩷

Such a wonderful experience having Sam and keran organise and do my wedding make up nothing was too much trouble and felt like I made 2 friends they wanted me to feel special and listened to my ideas thank U girls xxxx

SJB Hair and Makeup was perfect. Samantha really took the time to understand my skin, hair type and listen to the kind of look I wanted. Her products and style give a natural but glamorous look which I loved ❤️

I had such an amazing time with Sam. She was great on the day trying to keep my nerves down and always been by my side supporting (not just my hair and makeup) but emotionally! Thank you Sam for the wonderful hair and makeup on my big day. You were fab!!!

Sam is so friendly, calm and professional . She made the getting ready experience smooth and enjoyable.
She really listened to our wishes and also gave good advice on styles . We were all so impressed with our hair and make up! My Hollywood curls and glam make up lasted all day and evening. I felt so confident. Thank you

I booked Samantha last minute for my wedding this July. From our initial consultation I felt like I was in great hands. On the day of the wedding she had such a calming presence which helped me with my nerves!! She did an amazing job, giving me exactly what I wanted. I felt and looked amazing. I would definitely recommend her

Sam was amazing on my wedding day, made us all laugh and helped me feel at ease. We all looked incredible (if I do say so myself!) highly recommend sam, very talented and makes you feel like nothing is too big or small to achieve.

Highly recommend Samantha! Sam did my hair and make-up when I was a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding, and she did such an amazing job that I asked her to do my hair and make-up for my own wedding! She was amazing and helped me to feel so confident and relaxed! She is also such a lovely, kind, positive and fun person and I loved having her around on my wedding day 🙂

From the moment they arrived on our wedding day, Sam and her colleague Keran brought with them infectious positive energy, support and expertise! Every single member of the Bridal Party had such a positive experience with both ladies, and were left feeling (and looking) absolutely stunning, confident and comfortable that their personal preferences and styles had been taken into expert consideration! I really couldn’t recommend the SJB Hair & Makeup team more!! Thank you ladies for your exceptional work, and for bringing so much joy and laughter with you.

5/5 Stars — Absolutely incredible experience!
Working with Sam for my wedding was hands-down one of the best decisions I made. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, fun, and seamless energy to the getting-ready process, instantly putting everyone at ease.
My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had dreamed! I truly felt like the best version of myself, and the look held up flawlessly through emotional tears, endless dancing, and late-night celebrating.
Beyond her exceptional talent, Sam went far above and beyond her role as a hair and makeup artist. She helped me get into my dress and was a listening ear when I needed to practice my emotional speech. In those overwhelming pre-wedding moments, her warmth and genuine support meant the world to me. By the time she left, she felt more like a close friend than a vendor!
If you are looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, warm, and supportive on your special day, look no further than Sam. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Wow, where do I start!

This is the second time I’ve now been blessed with Sam’s presence and she is one of a kind!

Not only did she do my bridal hair and make up for my big day, she has such a bubbly personality that you can’t help but smile around her.

Thank you so so much Sam for getting me and my sister in law ready, we looked amazing!

I can’t recommend Sam highly enough. From our very first trial, she took the time to really understand the look I was hoping to achieve. She offered thoughtful advice throughout, but was also refreshingly honest about what she felt would work best, which I really appreciated.

When I changed my mind about both my hairstyle (and even my dress!), Sam couldn’t have been more accommodating, fitting in an extra trial to make sure everything felt right.

On the wedding day, she was the calmest presence in the room. Professional, organised and completely unflappable, she made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful while still feeling completely like myself – exactly how I had hoped to feel on my wedding day.

Thank you, Sam, for everything you did to make the morning so special. If you’re looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, genuinely listens and goes above and beyond for her clients, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Choosing SJB Hair and makeup course was the best 1-to-1 decision I have ever made for my beauty routine and confidence. After loosing a lot of weight and being over 40 my face had changed a lot in the last two years. I felt like a complete beginner again. I was incredibly intimidated by everything from matching foundation shades to blending eyeshadow, but Sam completely changed that. Sam is a true master of her craft, but what sets her apart is her exceptional teaching style. She is patient, encouraging, and has a unique ability to break down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. She tailored her advice directly to my specific face shape and skin type, teaching me how to enhance my natural features rather than just masking them.The environment Sam created was warm, professional, and entirely judgment-free. I left the 1-to-1 lesson not only with a beautiful look but also with the practical knowledge, tool recommendations, and confidence to recreate it completely on my own. If you want to learn makeup from someone who is genuinely invested in your success, look no further than Sam. Five stars are not enough.

Samantha was amazing from the moment I reached out to her. So kind, caring and knowledgeable. She made me and my mum feel so comfortable and welcoming on my trial day at her home studio. On the wedding day she made my mum, my bridesmaids and I feel and look beautiful and confident. She fitted right in with us all and it was like having another friend there helping us get ready. I can not recommend her enough. She's an amazing hair and makeup artist as well as an amazing person.
