South West Bridal Hair and Make-up Full Description
South West Bridal Hair and Make-up was born when industry professionals Emily (make-up) and Stacey (hair) joined forces to provide the Bristol area with a team hair and make-up service. After years of recommending each other and others they thought it was time they offered it as a complete service... We now have a large team of hair stylists and make-up artists at your disposal. All you need to do is contact Emily who looks after all bridal enquiries and she will help you find the perfect hair stylist and make-up artist for you. If you have a large wedding party we can offer a team of multiple stylists and artists to help avoid an early start and have you all ready in good time. Equally we love small intimate weddings, and very often help brides source last minute stylists. So don't be afraid to reach out. All our team members are vetted to ensure only the highest quality of stylists and artists are on our books. All team members are mobile and happy to travel to you at your chosen location. We endeavour to reply to all emails within 48 hours but you will probably hear back from us much sooner than that. We know how tricky it can be to organise a wedding and will do our best to make the process simple and stress free for you. Stacey has since moved on to focus on running her own salon, while Emily continues to run South West Bridal Hair and Make-up alongside her husband Tom. The business is her passion and you really do make them do a little happy dance every time you book with them.

Ruth is amazingly talented
What can I say, I was absolutely thrilled with my hair and make up for my wedding. Not only is Ruth amazingly talented, but she is also the most lovely person to have around when getting ready for your wedding. I would highly recommend her work to anyone for any occasion!

I have never felt so pretty
Charlotte, thank you ever so much for being part of my wedding day. You are a kindhearted, fun and overall gorgeous person, I am so very happy you were my there on the day 🥰 My bridesmaids looked beautiful and your care and attention to detail and comfort made them feel so special and looked after ❤️ When it came to my bridal look, we’ll I have no words, I felt like a supermodel, and had so much praise from my guest on how pretty the make up was and how great my hair looked even after dancing.

I couldn't recommend South West Bridal more
I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ again for all your help on Saturday and the lead up to the big day. It really couldn’t have gone better and it was so nice to have time on our side rather than running around in a last minute rush! I was so pleased with my make up, it lasted all day which is pretty unheard of for me. I know how pleased my bridesmaids and my mum were with their make up too, they looked stunning. I couldn’t recommend South West Bridal more, it has been so easy and stress free.

Thank you for your quick communication
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you, Jen and Leanne. The girls were amazing, Leanne was amazing and me and my mum loved our hair and make up. My mum was quite nervous about her hair and make up as she has never had it done before but Leanne was excellent with her and she was so happy with her look. Leanne really listened to what I wanted and I honestly looked the best I ever have 😂 Thank you for your quick communication and help throughout the booking process.

Absolute perfection
South West Bridal Hair and Make Up were a phenomenal supplier for my wedding last November. Emily is unbelievably well organised and gives you complete confidence straight away. She’s punctual, straight forward, thoughtful and thorough, and these values come through in every aspect of dealing with her company. Added to that, she’s also incredibly talented and make me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. A friend I met up with 6 months after the wedding told me that she has been recommending my MUA to everyone she knows who is getting married because she simply can’t get over how beautiful Emily’s work was.
