Bride Hair & Makeup
Your bridal look isn’t taken from a template — it’s thoughtfully created around you.
From the curve of your neckline to the light in your venue, every detail is considered with care.
Your look is designed around:
• The shape and structure of your dress
• Your venue, season and overall aesthetic
• Your face shape and natural features
• Your skin type and comfort preferences
• How you want to feel when you walk down the aisle
Whether you envision luminous, barely-there radiance or softly defined glamour, the result will always feel balanced, modern and timeless.
You’ll still look like you — just the most confident, polished version.
Airbrush Foundation for Weddings
I specialise in professional airbrush foundation — a lightweight, long-lasting formula that creates a seamless, skin-like finish.
Airbrush is ideal for:
• All-day wear (from morning prep to evening dancing)
• Brides who want coverage without heaviness
It blends seamlessly, softens imperfections and photographs beautifully — while still looking natural in real life.
The result is breathable, radiant skin that holds up through tears, hugs, champagne and celebration.

As soon as you have your wedding date confirmed.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every bride receives a calm, personalised experience. Peak dates — especially May to September Saturdays — often book 12–18 months in advance.
If your date is confirmed, I’d recommend enquiring sooner rather than later.

Yes — I provide on-location bridal hair and makeup across:
Bristol • South Gloucestershire • The Cotswolds • Bath • Somerset and surrounding areas.
Travel within one hour of BS16 is included in bridal bookings. For venues further afield or early start times, a travel supplement may apply — this will always be discussed clearly in advance.

I use a curated selection of luxury, high-performance brands including Charlotte Tilbury, Make Up For Ever HD, Laura Mercier, Urban Decay, Rare Beauty, NARS, Anastasia Beverly Hills — chosen for their longevity, skin finish and photography performance.

All products are selected for durability, photography performance and a flawless finish that still looks like you.

If a venue requires room changes during the morning or there are specific logistical requirements, I’ll discuss this with you in advance so everything runs smoothly.
Transparency is important — there are never hidden surprises.

Yes.
For larger bridal parties or tighter timelines, I can arrange a trusted second stylist to ensure your morning remains calm and beautifully paced.
This is organised seamlessly for you — no stress, no coordination required on your end.
There is a £50 arrangement fee for booking an additional stylist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I cannot recommend Jax-Glam Beauty enough! From my initial enquiry, communication and service were prompt, professional, and reassuring. My Maid of Honour and I visited Jax for our trial, where we tried numerous hair and makeup options — we never felt rushed or pressured to decide quickly.
On the wedding morning, Jax arrived early and kept everything perfectly on schedule, even when I had a couple of mishaps! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and truly great value for money. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you so much, Jax, for making the whole process calm and stress-free — exactly what every bride needs on her big day!” Claire
The Frogmill, Shipton Oliffe Cotswolds 3rd October 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'I had a lash lift, spray tan and my wedding hair and make up done by Jackie and I loved the end result of all of the services Jackie provided me.
I felt amazing and my hair and make up lasted all day, no concerns at all! Jackie was great with my hair and make up trial and made sure she knew exactly what I wanted on the day, and was really accommodating when the schedule had to be changed multiple times!! Jackie's communication throughout the whole process was supportive and friendly and Jackie always replied quickly to any questions I had.
Jackie also done the hair and make up for my mum on my wedding day- who received so many compliments at the wedding.
Jackie also done the make up and Claire done the hair for my 6 bridesmaids and they all looked stunning. Highly recommend Jackie for your wedding morning, but also for the other beauty services that she provides.'

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Jackie is absolutely fantastic! She did the make up for myself, my mum and my five bridesmaids for my wedding and every single one was perfect! All people kept telling me was how fantastic the whole bridal party looked and now we have the professional photos back you can see what a flawless job Jackie did and that the makeup lasted all day.
During my trial Jackie discovered what look I liked and took extensive notes to be able to reproduce this on the day, this made my wedding morning so much more relaxing as I could just sit there and let Jackie work her magic! For the bridesmaids who didn’t have a trial she built the makeup up slowly to produce the look they were after and all of them were so happy with how they looked. Jackie also organised a schedule for the day for herself and the hair stylist to make sure that the morning ran to time and that everything was done in the right order. We ended up being ready early and no one felt rushed, which is all down to Jackie and organisation! Jackie is exactly the calm, kind and experienced person you want around you on your wedding morning and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married in the area! "

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I would 100% recommended Jax for wedding day make-up. She made sure I was happy at every step, from the trial to the wedding day. She was organised, punctual, professional and knowledgeable. I was over the moon with the final result. The make-up lasted perfectly throughout the day even with all my tears! Thank you Jax for helping make my wedding day so perfect."Jackie was absolutely amazing. She made us all feel so relaxed and thoroughly spoilt. She became part of the family as we got ready and helped make our wedding day so special. I had so many comments throughout the day about how lovely my hair and makeup looked. I would recommend Jackie to everyone and can't thank her enough." Yvonne C
Wedding at Clearwell Castle, Gloucestershire 10th November 2022
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Jackie did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. I spent the whole day crying, dancing and sweating, and the makeup stayed in place until I called it a night at 3am! Jackie was also a super calming influence to have around on the wedding morning, which I really appreciated. I thoroughly recommend her!" Natalie
Wedding at Walton Castle, Clevedon Bristol July 2021
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Jackie was totally brilliant and really understood my needs. I am not a heavy make up wearer and wanted a natural look for our wedding day. Jackie totally took this onboard and worked with me to create a look that was stunning but still looked like me! She also has a great manner on the big day - recognising nerves and doing her best to calm these with her friendly and sunny nature.” Charlotte
Wedding Hair & Bridal Makeup, March 2018 at The Manor at Old Down Estate, Tockington, South West
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I started using Jackie before my wedding. I have a skin condition called Vitiligo and wanted an even complexion to feel confident on my big day, especially with the amount of photographs that were going to be taken. I had a spray tan and Jackie went above and beyond just providing the treatment. She carried out her own research beforehand on the best way to cover Vitiligo, and was more than happy to keep trialling different methods and shades until I was completely happy.
I had the Airbrush makeup for my wedding day, it is amazing! The day was a hot and sunny but my make up stayed perfect all day and night. I have also used Jackie for shellac nails and wow brow treatments. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone. Not only is her work done to a brilliant standard, she is friendly and professional." Kelly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I really wanted the airbrush makeup and I was really impressed with the level of detail she went into on the trial to ensure the day itself went smoothly and on time. She really listened to what I did and more importantly didn’t want. My bridesmaids were also really impressed with their makeup which isn’t easy when there was 4 of them! On the day itself, it was more like having another friend there rather than a makeup artist and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.” Laura
