I can't recommend Kate enough! From our first point of contact, the trial and then the wedding morning itself, Kate was amazing to work with. I am currently living in Chicago and so planning wasn't always straight forward, and Kate did everything she could to be accommodating. At my trial, I felt as though Kate really listened to what I wanted for myself and my bridesmaid. On the wedding day itself, Kate was a calming influence and did an incredible job for me and my 5 bridesmaids. My hair exceeded all expectations and the end result was stunning. Thank you!

HYDE HOUSE, STOW ON THE WOLD

I would highly recommend Kate for hair and makeup on any occasion. I first met Kate when she did my hair and makeup for my brother’s wedding, I was slightly sceptical as I don’t usually like anyone else doing my makeup as I’m quite fussy. Kate listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me lots of advice, I loved the overall look so much I hired Kate for my own wedding this year for myself and 4 of my bridesmaids. From my wedding trial to the wedding day, Kate was friendly professional and made sure everyone was happy. Being the hottest day of the year, Kate made everyone comfortable and at ease. My makeup stayed flawless all day, and a lot of people complimented on my hair and skin. Thank you so much Kate, I wish we could do it all over again!

LATIMER ESTATE, CHESHAM

Would highly recommend Kate for wedding hair and make-up. I was unsure about it initially as I rarely wear much make-up, however Kate was fabulous and really put me at ease. My hair and make-up were beautiful and lasted throughout the day and evening, with many people commenting on how natural it looked. It was exactly what I was looking for. Even my mum had make-up done for the first time in 60 years and loved it! Thank you so much, Kate, your calm presence and wonderful skills really helped make the day special!

Alison

BICESTER REGISTRY OFFICE

Kate was amazing from start to finish. At my trial she gave me some hints and tips on how to make my skin the best it could be for the big day and she really listened to everything I wanted. On the day she was not just my make-up artist and hairstylist but also my therapist! She was so calm and lovely that I felt very zen before walking down the aisle. Her hair and make-up skills are amazing, and I felt less self-conscious when everyone was looking at me! Not only was I impressed with my hair and make-up, but she also helped my bridesmaids and flower girls look and feel amazing! I would highly recommend her!

OCEAN KAVE, DEVON

My wife and I recently got married in Cala d’Or, Mallorca, and Kate from Ruby Rouge was there with us to make sure my beautiful Bride and all 5 of her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning on the day! She started early, as she had 7 lots of hair and makeup to do (mother of the bride completes the list) and she was on hand through the day to fix any hair and veil issues for photos. She worked tirelessly throughout, nothing was too much for her. Thank you, Kate.

Martin

YACHT CLUB, CALA D’OR MALLORCA

Kate was absolutely brilliant from the first hair/make up trial all the way through to the big day. She gave me great advice to get my skin in the best condition possible and did everything necessary to make sure I got the perfect look for my wedding. She was also fantastic with my Mum who doesn’t particularly like wearing make-up - she felt happy and comfortable all day and was delighted with the styling that Kate did for her. On top of her hair and make-up magic, Kate is calm, friendly and incredibly professional and I cannot recommend her enough.

TYTHE BARN, LAUNTON

Thank you so much for doing my Hair and Make-up, everyone thought I looked fantastic and the pictures have come out great. Thank you also to your expert team who made my Bridesmaids look like supermodels on a tight schedule and also made my Mum and flower girl very happy! You really made our day special!

Kate did the make-up and hair for myself, my bridesmaids and my mother. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for colour, respectfully listens to your requests, and moves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. I would highly recommend her!!!

STRATTON COURT BARN

I am not a hair or make up kind of girl and went in with little idea of what I wanted. Kate knew exactly what to suggest and got everything I didn't know I wanted right. Such a nice lady who made me feel at ease. I never do hair or make-up however, Kate didn't make it look like I had much on. Felt so relaxed and had so many compliments on it all. Perfect wedding day experience.

Trish

MANOR HOUSE HOTEL, WESTON-ON-THE-GREEN

As a wedding photographer, I have worked with Kate on many occasions and I have also had the pleasure of having my own hair and makeup done by Kate for several different events, what can I say? She always gets it bang on! I’m not usually a big makeup person but I love the way Kate works, she always makes me look and feel amazing, she’s so friendly and the whole experience is always lovely and relaxing. I cannot recommend her highly enough, if you want to look your best for an event, book her, book her now!!
