My Story
I didn’t follow a traditional path into this industry — and that’s exactly what shaped how I work today.
At 18, I was already teaching vintage hair and makeup, completely self-taught. What started as a creative interest quickly turned into something bigger when I was asked to train performers for a burlesque company, and soon after, lead a live demonstration at the Queensland Museum.
That early experience taught me something most artists don’t learn until much later — how to adapt, lead, and create looks that perform under real conditions.
As my career evolved, I completed my diploma in beauty therapy, but it became clear that my strength wasn’t in following a traditional beauty pathway — it was in specialising.
After having my two boys, I knew I wanted to build something on my terms. Something flexible, but also something exceptional.
So I went all in.
What started with a handful of weddings quickly grew. Today, I work with 500+ brides and consistently take on 100+ weddings each year, while leading a team of artists who align with my standard and approach.
And through that volume of experience, I’ve refined what I’m truly known for:
Not just beautiful hair and makeup —
but creating wedding mornings that feel calm, structured, and completely taken care of.
Because after years in this industry, I’ve seen what works… and what doesn’t.
I understand how much this day matters — not just how you look, but how you feel in every moment leading up to it.
That’s why my role goes beyond artistry.
I’m there to guide, support, and ensure your morning runs seamlessly — so you can feel confident, relaxed, and fully present.
What began organically has become a business built on experience, trust, and consistency — and I’m incredibly proud of what it’s grown into.
