Sam did my wedding makeup and I genuinely cried happy tears when I looked in the mirror. He understood my vision perfectly and the look lasted the entire day without a touch-up. Absolute legend.

Questions? We Have Answers

Everything you need to know before booking your session.

Yes! Sam is mobile and can come to your home, venue, or chosen location across Mansfield, Nottingham, and surrounding areas. Travel fees may apply for locations further afield — this will be discussed when booking.

Absolutely. A bridal trial is strongly recommended and can be booked separately. It's a chance to test the look, discuss your preferences, and ensure everything is perfect before your wedding day. Trials are typically held 4–8 weeks before the big day.

Sam uses only premium, professional-grade products from trusted brands. The products are skin-friendly, long-lasting, and suitable for all skin tones and types. If you have any known allergies or sensitivities, please let Sam know in advance.

Yes, a deposit is required to secure your booking. The deposit amount varies depending on the service and will be confirmed at time of booking. Deposits are non-refundable but may be transferred to a new date with sufficient notice.

Session times vary by service. Traditional makeup typically takes 60–90 minutes. Bridal makeup and hair together can take 2–3 hours. Photoshoot sessions depend on the number of looks required. Exact timings will be discussed at booking.
