Wedding Hair & Make-up Recommendations

17 September 2010 | WishUponAStar

Hi All,

Have any of you lovely ladies been married in Canberra recently?

Where did you get your hair and make-up done?

Is there any you’d recommend that were fantastic? Or ones I should stay away from?

Thanks in advance for you help! I’m organising my wedding from Sydney and haven’t lived in Canberra for 4 years, so I’m a little out of touch.

Bentley’s Bridal in Jamison is great – they do Napoleon makeup plus hair. I have been there before going to black-tie functions & then got my wedding hair/makeup done there. It was great & lasted all day – even the bridesmaids were happy! Good luck!

Zoe Barton has been doing makeup for 10 years in Canberra, mostly weddings. Her website is http://www.zbmakeup.com.au

Unlike makeup stores, she will come to your house. Very professional. Very knowledgeable – has excellent contacts with a range of other wedding service people. Just on this…my recommendation for a photographer (if you can afford him) is Ben from Fusion Photograph.

I think Zoe can do hair also (she has in the past but if not she can make recommendations)…

I got my makeup done at Napoleon in the Canberra Centre- they were fantastic.

I got married in Sydney before I moved to Canberra, but this forum was VERY helpful, for so many things.

There are quite a few Canberra girls on there, you should have no worries getting heaps of recs for hair and make-up

Our friend who came from teh UK to Canberra to get wed last month; http://the-riotact.com/?p=26357 had her hair and make-up done at Baileys in the Jammo mall. Fine job they did too.

I jut got married in April and managed to be ucky enough to have friends in both make up and hair… but I will reccomend CY Creations as phographers, Jamison florist for flowers, Roger Thompson as a celbramt, and angelic inspirations to find a dress. Have fun on your beautiful day!!!

Congratulations!

I married last year and had my hair and make-up done at La Bimbi Hair Salon in the city; and the attached Soma Day Spa. They are separate businesses, so you get the specialist expertise of both; but located in the same place and you can book for both appointments through La Bimbi.

I had practices of both as well, and they were really supportive. I was particularly nervous about the make-up, as I don’t usually wear a lot and didn’t want that really ‘made-up’ look, but they really understood that.
