Wedding Makeup in Kent & London
Hello and welcome! I’m Samantha, the founder and Creative Director of SJB Hair and Makeup. With over 15 years of dedicated experience in the beauty industry, I established this business with a simple vision: to create a dedicated space where you can relax, feel completely at ease like you are with a trusted friend and feel truly heard while we work together to achieve your personalised hair and makeup look.
My core passion lies in helping you not only look your absolute best with professional hair and makeup, but also feel your most confident and authentic self. This applies whether it’s for a significant life event like your wedding day, a black tie function or to master new skills through my makeup lessons. I am committed to providing highly personalised hair and makeup services that are designed to genuinely support your specific needs.
Throughout my career, I’ve honed my skills and pride myself on inclusivity, working with clients of all skin tones to ensure that everyone receives a bespoke experience. My approach is tailored to enhance, not mask, in a way that feels true to you, meticulously crafting looks that empower and bring confidence. Additionally, I have developed a particular expertise in working with in makeup for mature skin aged 40 and over.
My extensive experience allows me to expertly cater to a range of important moments in your life. I am a dedicated wedding hair and makeup artist, creating dream transformations for brides on their momentous wedding day. I also provide sophisticated special occasion makeup and event hair and makeup for those attending prestigious red carpet events, awards ceremonies, or gala dinners, where making a memorable impression is key.
Furthermore, I offer hair and makeup for personal branding photoshoots, helping you project a polished and authentic image that elevates your professional presence. Beyond direct styling, I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge, which is why I also offer personalised makeup lessons. Whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn the basics, or looking to refine your techniques and discover new looks. In every service, I draw upon my years of expertise to deeply understand your vision and preferences. I offer expert, practical guidance—from finding that ideal lipstick shade to selecting the most complimentary eyeshadows —because I believe that attention to every detail contributes significantly to your overall confidence and satisfaction.
