“Tara and the team were such a key part of our wedding day preparation, and it was a pleasure getting ready for the ceremony with them! I’m not a big user of make-up and only had a rough idea of the hairstyle I wanted, but Tara was able to give me both hair and make-up that was absolutely perfect. Everyone’s make-up was beautiful, and we all felt like celebrities for the day. Thank you so much, Tara and team, for your professionalism, friendliness, laughter, and relaxed but efficient approach to what you do — you’re all amazing! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a hair and make-up supplier.” — Tracey S.

Tara and the team were such a key part of our wedding day preparation, and it was a pleasure getting ready for the ceremony with them! I’m not a big user of make-up, and only had a rough idea of the hairstyle I wanted, but Tara was able to give me both hair and make-up that was absolutely perfect for what I’d tried to explain. My 5 bridesmaids all had different length hair and roughly chose on the day what styles to have – which the team played with and made each girl look fabulous! Everyone’s make-up was perfect, and we all felt like celebrities for the day. Thank you so much Tara and team for your professionalism, friendliness, laughter and relaxed but efficient approach to what you do – you’re all amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a hair and make-up supplier.

I could not be happier to have Tara on my wedding day! My mother-in-law wasn't used to having her make-up done professionally so was a little bit tense and uneasy during the process. On top of that, my little nieces suddenly needed help putting the flowers on their hair. Tara handled everything like a pro and was so sweet and patient the whole time. She certainly made the situation easier for me. Our make-up held up well without needing any touch-ups (apart from the lipstick), and my hair stayed beautifully wavy and in place throughout the evening even after hours of dancing. Tara was personal yet professional, and she tried to understand what each of us wanted and successfully achieved it. I am so grateful to her for making everyone feel so special and beautiful on our wedding day.

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.
