Introduction: I am a perfectionist. To be successful in this line of work this is an essential quality! I also take time with my clients. I never rush through hair or makeup. My goal is to have my client feeling absolutely beautiful when she leaves the chair. Apart from all the fun stuff - working with colours and creating all kinds of different makeup and hair looks, I really love getting to know the people I work with. Hearing their stories and developing a relationship beginning at first contact through to the completion of the job. Seeing someone look in the mirror and tell me they are so happy and that this is the best they have ever looked is an incredibly satisfying part of my job.

Laura made my hair for my wedding and made me look and feel fantastic. I had my wedding just two months later after I moved to Australia and I didn't know any hairdressers in Sydney. You can imagine how stressful is to chose hairdresser for your special day when you don't know anyone! The friend of mine recommended Laura and promised me that she will make me happy. When I saw Laura on my wedding day, I felt that all be good. I just showed her the photo for some guidance, closed my eyes and relaxed... Laura did an amazing job with my hair (and my hair is not the easiest - very long and thin) and I was more than happy. I strongly recommend Laura as the professional Hair & Makeup Artist

This review is way overdue (almost a year) but better late than never. I came to NYC with my now husband for a shotgun wedding just the 2 of us and found laura on gumtree. We had never met and only spoke over email but i would like to say how amazing she was. Not only is she an incredibly friendly person she is professional and her style of work is very classy and elegant. My make up and hair stayed in/on all day without the need to touch up and almost a year later i am having the "ceremony" with friends and family and i am now struggling to find someone as good as her. There is nothing bad i can say about my experience and how pleased i am with how i look in the pictures we had taken. Any brides out there looking for hair and makeup and a great price and professionally done, Laura is your lady!

I am a TV host who has worked with Laura over the course of several years in Australia and am planning future projects with her here in New York. Her professionalism, talent, kind nature and incredible work ethic make her one of the best hair and make up artists by far that I have ever worked with. Would recommend her in a second!

Laura is a very experienced and talented hair and make up artist. I have worked alongside her as a fashion stylist for many years and I respect her professionalism, her desire to please clients and put them at ease with her friendly and easygoing demeanour. Laura has done my hair and make up on many occasions and I have always enjoyed the process and have loved the results, she is just amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Laura is an excellent hair and make up artist. Just what every bride is looking for. She knows how to bring out people's natural beauty rather than covering it up. She takes direction well and also makes polite suggestions to help direct the client towards the best look for them. My clients have all loved her. As I wedding photographer, I hope I get the opportunity to work with her again in the future!
