“Beyond incredible! I feel like writing a review is not enough to describe how amazing they made myself and loved ones feel on my wedding day!! Would absolutely highly recommend Airlie & Co for anyone’s wedding. The whole process was so professional and smooth. Starting at my trial where I had a very vague idea of what bridal hair and makeup I was after, but Tara and her team managed to deliver exactly what I was hoping for. They were also so supportive and had amazing communication leading up to my wedding. The wedding morning was super relaxed and everything went to plan. My friends and family who had their makeup done were over the moon with how beautiful they felt. I’ve honestly never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Airlie & Co and co are experts at what they do but they also care about their clients and that shone through! Thank you so much Tara x” — Anna B.

I cannot recommend Tara and the whole crew at Airlie & Co more for your wedding day. The process from start to finish was beyond seamless and felt like a valued member of the Airlie & Co community. I've never looked or felt as good as I did on my wedding day and neither did my bridesmaids, mother and mother of my husband. Tara and Carlie were the dream team the whole day, with Tara staying back to touch up my makeup post ceremony and make sure I was ready to go and looking fabulous for the reception. We all felt so comfortable and in such safe hands. I would not recommend anyone else to trust with your special day than Tara and the whole team at Airlie & Co. Thank you isn't enough!!” — Kayla H.

FAQ

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and photographed days of your life — and we believe you deserve to feel like the very best version of yourself. A professional stylist brings not only experience and technical skill but the calm, confident presence needed on a day that can feel fast-paced and emotional.

From matching skin tones and balancing features, to preparing different hair types and ensuring your look holds up in all lighting and weather conditions, your artist will design a look that feels effortlessly “you” — and lasts well into the evening.

We come to you, so you can relax, be pampered, and soak up the excitement with your loved ones. Getting ready should be part of the joy — not a source of stress. While a friend or relative might be great at their own makeup, it’s a big ask for them to take on that pressure, especially in a high-stakes moment.

We believe the best wedding mornings are filled with love, laughter, and ease — and we love being a part of that.

Our calendar fills quickly — many of our couples secure their date 12 to 18 months in advance. With 2025 already shaping up to be a very full year, we recommend reaching out as early as possible to avoid missing out.

To check availability, simply submit an enquiry form and our team will get back to you with more information about your date.

Being a small team of both hair stylists and makeup artists who work together on a regular basis, we work efficiently in group booking situations. We want to make sure everyone, including your in-laws and special guests feel included, so we can cater for bridal parties of up to 18 in 1-2 locations on your wedding day.

Yes — we highly recommend it. A preview is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your vision, and work together to create a look that feels just right for you.

While our team brings the skill, intuition, product knowledge and experience, your input and feedback are just as important. A preview allows for open communication and collaboration, so you know exactly what to expect on the day and feel confident in your final look.

It’s also a chance for us to offer personalised advice and refine any details, ensuring your hair and makeup enhance your overall bridal style. Investing in that peace of mind ahead of time is truly invaluable.

Depending on your requirements, a standard makeup application whether very natural or more dramatic will take between 45-60minutes. 

Our artists bring experience from television and film, where long-wearing, camera-ready makeup is essential — and that same attention to detail goes into every bridal look we create.

We use professional products and techniques designed for durability, so your makeup and hair will be built to last from the early hours right through to the evening celebrations. That said, factors like your skin type, weather, and how well you care for your makeup on the day can all play a role in how it wears.

We always recommend having a touch-up kit on hand with at least a powder, lipstick and gloss. For added peace of mind, we offer curated touch-up kits starting from $179 — available to pre-order through us.

Good hygiene and safe sanitary practice is of the upmost important to us. Your makeup artist will use clean, sanitised makeup brushes and tools such as eyelash curlers and tweezers for each client. . We request a room to set up in which has good ventilation, natural sunlight and a large clean surface area to work from. Mints and hand sanitiser are available from your makeup artist.

Yes — lashes are complimentary for you and your bridal party. They're a beautiful finishing touch and included as part of our service to help elevate your final look.

Timing can vary slightly depending on your hair type, thickness and chosen style, but as a general guide:

  • Blowdries: 20–40 minutes
  • Waves, curls and upstyles: 45–75 minutes
  • Makeup: 45–75 minutes

We’ll create a personalised schedule for your wedding morning to ensure everything runs smoothly and you feel relaxed, not rushed.

Yes — we offer a range of hair extensions for hire in various colours, lengths, and thicknesses to help achieve your desired style.

As availability is limited, please let us know at the time of booking if you’re interested in using extensions so we can ensure the right match is ready for you on the day.

Hire starts from $99.

Absolutely — you can book your stylist to stay on for touch-ups, hair changes, or even a second makeup look at your reception venue.

It’s a great option if you’d like ongoing support throughout the day or a freshen-up before photos, speeches, or dancing.

Touch-up services start from $200 per hour, per stylist.

Absolutely — perfect for the bride who wants a bold transformation or just can’t decide on one look!

We offer hair and makeup changes between your ceremony and reception, so you can switch things up with a bold lip, smokey eye, or even let your hair down (literally). Your stylist will come to you for a seamless transition into your evening look.

Let us know if you’d like to add this option to your day — it's your moment to be the queen of the night.

I was lucky enough to have Dani from Airlie&Co booked to do myself and my bridal parties hair for my wedding and I am SO grateful. The team at Airlie&Co were beyond professional from the moment I enquired, guiding me through the process and even providing tips and guidance for other aspects of the wedding. Dani worked tirelessly on my mum, 5 bridesmaids and myself and NAILED everyone’s look. Not to mention, she has such a fun, calming vibe (exactly what I wanted for my wedding day). My hair stayed exactly in-tact the entire night and was exactly what I wanted (despite me not giving a whole lot of guidance!). I wouldn’t go past Airlie&Co.

Planning my wedding in Sydney from the UK, I was fortunate to discover Airlie&Co for my wedding hair and makeup through Instagram. Right from the start, the team's communication was professional and seamless. The paperwork process was streamlined and online, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate the time zone differences for calls. I eagerly anticipated having the Airlie&Co team join us on our special day. Arriving in Australia during the Christmas period, I couldn't arrange a trial, but it turned out to be unnecessary—Jade and Mon were absolutely amazing. From the moment they arrived, they made me and the other members of the party feel at ease and confident that we had the best team to help us get ready.

Airlie & Co were sooo wonderful to work with. The booking manager Amanda makes everything so easy and seamless and she really takes care of you. My make up artist Holly was also AMAZING. She created the looks we wanted and was so easy going and relaxed. I've never felt more beautiful and couldn't thank Holly enough for her artistry!

Airlie&Co were a dream to work with. They were very thorough to make sure everything was how I wanted it. I did do the hair and make up trial as I wanted to see how I like dthe make up as I don't wear make up on a day to day basis and right from the get go everyone I met is very calm and collected which helped me feel relaxed. They were on time on the day of the wedding and we were all having a good chat and laugh while getting ready, a lovely stress free morning. It did rain a little bit for our ceremony and photos but my hair and make up did not budge! Exceptional quality and a fantastic team
