Rachel Spence Hair & Makeup Artist

Rachel Spence is truly exceptional! She put me at ease about my hair loss, making me feel special and beautiful—something I haven’t felt in in a very long time especially since being unwell and starting the perimenopause. Her knowledge of hair and makeup is outstanding, she kept us relaxed throughout, making the experience unforgettable. Beyond her talent, she’s a genuinely lovely person inside and out. I’ll always remember this experience, and I can’t thank her enough. If you want someone skilled, compassionate, and uplifting, Rachel is the one. An absolute treasure.

Rachel did the most amazing job with my bridal hair and make up. I didn’t have a very clear idea of what I wanted but Rachel was able to suss it out and the look was absolutely spot on. Super friendly and easy to chat to which made the wedding morning so happy and relaxed. Rachel really knows what she’s doing and gave some really good make up tips as well as making sure that the look lasted the whole night. Could not have asked for anyone better!!

Rachel was absolutely fabulous in making myself and bridal party look stunning. She did all of our hair and styled it exactly how we desired. The morning of the wedding she was a very calm and welcoming presence that made us all feel relaxed and pampered. Would highly recommend for your next big occasion!

As a mother of the bride who had never had professional make up before I can highly recommend Rachel . She totally understood what the “more mature” (Rachel’s diplomatic description!) lady requires . From excellent skin prep with gorgeous products to the finished look she was superb . I loved that she listened to how I usually do my make up and didn’t do anything too different . I was so happy with what she achieved it gave me loads of confidence on the big day !!

Rachel is not just an incredible hair and makeup artist but the best person to have around on the morning of your wedding! She is extremely practical, calm and so lovely to chat to. My makeup was done to perfection and lasted all day and night. Rachel is extremely talented at creating a glowy, natural look and extremely knowledgeable about skincare and products – you are in very safe hands! For my hair I knew exactly what my dream look would be but wasn’t sure if it was achievable. Rachel achieved it perfectly, I was over the moon!! Thank you for everything!

Rachel with Hannah assisting did such a beautiful job for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She adjusted my make up so beautifully based in my preferences and the colours in my crown, while bringing out my features and making me and my mam feel like queens! The hair as well was so beautifully done, exactly what I wanted and we tried a few things! Everyone looked spectacular. Brilliant work, would highly recommend.

Rachel was absolutely fantastic to work with. My wife and I eloped in Scotland and were understandably nervous booking vendors that we couldn’t meet in person. Rachel was wonderful, very communicative, and able to help above and beyond our expectations.

Rachel did my bridal hair and 4 bridesmaids at our wedding 2 days ago and we highly recommend her. The bridal trial she did was lovely and she hit the mark first time, but the day of the wedding my hair looked even better! She added a couple of flowers from my bouquet which I loved and everyone commented on throughout the day. The curls lasted all night and so did the bridesmaid’s hair- we couldn’t have been happier. She was also a lovely calming presence to have around on our busy wedding morning. Thank you Rachel!

I recently had Rachel do the hair and makeup for my wedding in Edinburgh, and she was fantastic! She created beautiful, natural looks for me, my sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and mum. Rachel was super friendly and really listened to what each of us wanted, making sure we all felt great. Her work was flawless, enhancing our natural beauty without going overboard. Rachel’s warm and professional approach made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a talented and down-to-earth hair and makeup artist, I highly recommend Rachel!

Rachel did my bridal hair and makeup, my mum’s and aunts. She is punctual, professional, good communicator, fantastic at what she does and and all round lovely and calming person. What more can you want? She was 5 hours non stop pampering us and making us look lovely. I would highly recommend her to anyone, specially if you are wanting a more glowy, fresh, softer natural type look. Thank you Rachel for a lovely morning!
