about Lauen

a bit about me

Welcome! I’m Lauren, an award-winning bridal hair and makeup artist with a passion for enhancing natural beauty. I specialise in creating polished, modern - yet timeless looks that have a sophisticated red carpet feel.

After 15 years as long-haul cabin crew, where attention to detail and delivering exceptional service were second nature, I’ve brought those same principles into creating a calm, luxurious experience for my brides. I love helping people feel confident, radiant, and at ease on their big day, all while making the experience feel like you’re working with a friend!

A few facts and favourites...

Outside of my work, I’m a huge animal lover and proud dog mum to my English Bulldog, Maggie! I’m also a real history geek (especially when it comes to The Tudors!), a typical Libran, candle lover, a self-confessed perfectionist and chatterbox, and perfume obsessed!

 In 2024, I was honoured to win my category at The Scottish Wedding Awards, and even made it as  a finalist at the National Awards!
.

Always striving to be the best I can be, I’m dedicated to investing in training and education—whether through in-person sessions or online academies—to stay up to date with the latest trends and techniques. I’m passionate about continually growing and perfecting my skills to give my brides the best possible experience, creating looks that are fresh, polished, and perfectly tailored to them!

I’ve taken the opportunity to train with some of the best in the industry, including Hannah Taylor, Kristina Gasperas, Kasia Fortuna, Paige Lauren, Sabrina Duparcq and Lisa Alger.








Always learning and evolving to further my skill set and offer the very best...

"Along with her outstanding talent, she brought fun and calm to my wedding morning..."
