Absolutely perfect. Second to none. They organised the hair, and the makeup. We got exactly what we wanted and were really accommodating.

Miranda was awesome. She's so great! I've known her for a long time. She uses quality make up, very professional, very punctual. She's very calm and makes you feel relaxed. She was very accommodating to my needs. I would highly recommend her!

Miranda was amazing. She did my tan, hair and makeup. Everything was perfect. The best spray tan I've ever had and my makeup and hair stayed perfect until the early hours of the morning.

Makeup by Mir…… if you are looking for an exceptional artist - she is. What I loved about Miranda is that she cares, makes you shine and is there for the small things as well. She not only made me and the bridesmaids look even more beautiful, she was there to help capture some moments when the photographer wasn't there. She listens to what you would like to do, but as an artist also creates her masterpiece and gives you options on the way. Highly recommend her. No stresses, just fun and feeling fabulous.

Miranda was amazing, she did my hair & makeup and made me feel beautiful. I have quiet difficult skin and was very self concussion. But Miranda made me feel beautiful and built my confidence up. Everything i had in my head she made come to life. When I look back on my wedding day, I remember Miranda being a great part of my day. Even just talking and making the getting ready party fun. Even when I had to throw up. Highly recommended!!!!

Best hairstyles for an older bride

Hello. I'm an older bride getting married for the second time. I'd like some advice please on hairstyles that suit mature brides. My hair is medium length. Many thanks.

Makeup by Mir

Hi there,

Firstly congratulations.

I would suggest the following as options to consider for your wedding hairstyle:

Do you wear your hair out or up daily? 

If out, then I would suggest a soft wave to keep you looking like yourself without being too formal.

If you tend to wear your hair up alot you can either opt for a soft low bun or the latest Pamela Anderson updo which is effortless and simple while being timeless.

Depending on the theme of your wedding will help a hairstylist assist in selecting the right hairstyle for your special day, factors that also come into play is the neckline of your dress, style of dress and whether you will wear a veil or any hair accessories in your hair.

A hair trial with your preferred hairstylist would also be beneficial to try a few styles so you can see what wear well with your look and feel.

I hope this helps you a little towards finding the right hairstyle for you. 

What's a rough timeline for hair and makeup on the day?

Hi there. Would love a rough timing guide for my hair and makeup. I've got 4 bridesmaids, plus me, and my mum. We are staying at a hotel nearby the wedding venue and the ceremony starts at 5pm. Thank you!

Makeup by Mir

I allow an hour per person for hair and the same for makeup. Working alongside a colleague we work on one person each at a time, one makeup one hair. 
We plan time to finish an hour before you need to leave for your ceremony. 
With 6 hair & makeups this would be 6 hours plus an extra hour for incidentals. 

Hope this helps with your search and planning your schedule for the day. 

I want to add some thickness into my hair for my wedding

Hi there, my hair is quite thin and I want to give it some oomph for my wedding. What are some options? I've heard about clip-in extensions. (Bit worried about colour matching?) Any ideas? Thank you.

Makeup by Mir

I personally love clip in hari extensions for any bride to create a fuller look for their big day. I have a brand of extensions in which I have a sample wheel of hair colours to match your hair. Each set of hair extensions come in an 8 piece pack along with a sample piece you can try before you open the packet in case it's not the perfect colour when you receive it. You can always exchange, however I am able to match the colour before choosing your colour. Clip ins also allow you to decide how much fullness you want, whether it's a dolls head of hair by using the whole 8 pieces or if you just need that little addition to an updo by using up to 4 pieces for a fuller bun or upstyle. Hope this helps with your decision for your big day.
