Tremendous!
I can't thank CJ enough for the tremendous work she did to make me the best version of me on my wedding day. I had so many compliments about my beautiful make up and hair. I was truly taken aback at the finished look. My hair was styled into a rose that was stunning and so elegant. I also want to thank CJ for her professionalism, warmth and putting me at ease.
I would highly recommend CJ, she is so amazing at what she does! xx

Book CJ Beauty & Co
Highly recommend Collete! I am not from the area and went with CJ Beauty due to good reviews and looking through her instagram pictures. She did hair and make up for myself and my maid of honor. On the day of my wedding I was not disappointed. Not only is she skilled at hair and make up, she was so encouraging and comforting. She helped keep those pre-wedding anxieties low :)
I have hyperpigmentation issues and she was able to give me a flawless finish that held up throughout the night! xx

The made my morning!
CJ and Sarah came to the Royal Berkshire Hotel on 6th October 23 and did make up for myself, maid of honour, bridesmaid, mother of the bride and mother of the groom!
They really did make my morning! The moment they arrived to the moment we left for the ceremony they were going above and beyond for us. They are amazing at what they do and all of our hair and make up looks absolutely beautiful! It also lasted all day & all night and everyone commented on how beautiful it was.

Played such a big part of the most memorable day!
CJ was absolutely wonderful in helping my bridesmaids and I pick our hairstyles and makeup, and worked so fast on the day of our wedding that allowed us to not only look gorgeous but also have plenty of time to relax before the big moment :) Everything was flawless and we each had so many amazing comments about how beautiful our hair were on the wedding day! CJ was super friendly and thoughtful, my wedding happened on the hottest day of the year and CJ even brought a special neck fan for me!

Incredible
CJ is an incredible makeup artist and hairstylist. I've had my makeup done by CJ 4 times over the last six years for various weddings and events, and there isn't anyone else I would ask as she is an absolute artist. My makeup was stunning and made me feel beautiful. I should also mention that as CJ applies makeup, she gives excellent advice on skincare, beauty products and application: her passion for skin and makeup shows in everything she does.

If you're looking for the best, look no further!
CJ also painted the Bride and MoB, who were both blown away by her incredible skills, attention to detail and fantastic personality. We were told all day that the makeup was flawless and that we looked airbrushed. After doing all our makeup, she created gorgeous curls in my hair and, as usual, had thought of everything and bought some little flowers for my hair and the other bridesmaids too: just another example of how thoughtful CJ is.
