Katie arrived and started straight away, what can I say a very professional and her work was fantastic. Katie stayed right to the end and was a joy watching her work.

Thanks for supporting and I look forward working with you again very soon.

Busha

What would I do without Katie? I needed a hair stylist at extremely short notice and could not find one locally. In desperation I rang Katie fully expecting her not to be able to help but she agreed to step into the breach immediately.

Not only did she produce some stunning hair for the shoot she stayed around to do restyles as and when needed.

She is Tip Top and I 100% recommend her!

Lyon Studio (Hersham)

I had the pleasure of welcoming Katie to the Studio on a recent commercial shoot. Katie stepped in at very short notice and “saved the shoot” with her hair and make up skills which were fantastic as were the images produced. I will certainly be using Katie again here at the Studio as well as recommending her to other photographers and models……. (y)

I've worked with Katie twice now on two pin-up shoots, she did a variety of hair styles and is professional and great fun to work with! I'd definitely work with Katie again. She is creative and always punctual. Great results!

Katie replied to a casting I posted about a week ago, She was very easy to communicate with and was very eager to embark on my little project.

She arrived on time to the location, actually got there before me. was polite and friendly and did a fantastic job with my make up. she went to above and beyond to help me get my headdress just right. Has a great eye for detail, helping me with my outfit and even the props.

I can't sing Katie's praise enough, she is amazing, I'll be booking her as often as I can for sure -)

Busha

I have shot with Katie twice in the last week on entirely different themes, A victorian tea party and a gory horror fest. She was her usual exceptional self on both.

I have come to rely Katie, she communicates well, turns up on time and ready to go. Her work is exempolary and she always helps out, going above and beyond her remit.

Not only does she know her craft, she has a hidden dark side which I find very helpful on her work with me and further more, she is a lovely lady!

A big thumbs up from me. :)

would like to say a big thank you to Katie again, as per usual Katie arrived on time punctually with everything above and beyond what was needed to create the make up and gore for a fantastic shoot.

I have worked on many shoots with Katie and have never been disappointed, Katie is a pleasure to work with, and couldn't put into words how highly I would recommend Katie, she goes above and beyond any expectation I would have as an MUA,

Keep up the good work

Llamandra

Katie ever so kindly did my and Lady Lelia`s make-up and wig styling for our "Mad Victorian" shoot today.

She was there on time and came across as very kind and patient.

She listened to my preferences and masterfully brought them to life and was there to touch the look up again when needed.

Really enjoyed the look she helped to create. I would love to work with her again and would recommend her to others.

Queen Cat

I had the pleasure to work with Katie on the Mad Victorian shoot I did with Llamandra and Busha. I was very excited to work with a REAL make up artist, seeing as I'm mostly doing my own make-up for shoots.

Katie came prepared, was polite, enthusiastic, friendly and professional and did mine and Llamandra's make-up and hair (wigs) to a high standard. It also helped that we had a similar idea about the look we wanted to achieve.

I was super excited about the make-up and how it looked in the pictures. I would not hesitate to work with Katie again and definitely would recommend her to anyone.

Katie did a sterling job on a recent snow queen photoshoot recreating great hair and makeup to suit the concept. She is very professional, creative and paid attention to detail, her work really made the images look the part! would love to work with her again.

Richard Danter

Katie and I worked together for the first time yesterday. She did a great job, creating a wonderful headpiece from scratch and totally transforming the model. She's really lovely to work with too and I am sure we will be working together again soon. :)

It was an absolute pleasure having Katie do my hair and make up for a Snow Queen inspired photoshoot this evening. She also made the most beautiful headpiece/crown for me to wear. Extremely talented lady! She completely transformed me into an icy queen :) Absolutely lovely and fun to work with. I would love to work with her again! Couldn't recommend you enough Katie! Thank you for being a part of today! x

I did a casting for a bride for a wedding I was photographing. Katie was chosen from that casting and did a fantastic work. She turned up early (plus it was a very early morning call), had a friendly manner and calmly handled the chaos of a lots of bridesmaids and bride getting ready in a tiny space!

I later got feedback from the bride who said she was very pleased with Katie and said although she wouldn't be needing wedding assistance in the future she would use and recommend Katie again.

And so would I!

Thank you Katie. I hope we can do some fun projects together soon too.

I have had the pleasure of working with Katie on more than one occasion now, and each time I enjoy it that little bit more.

She is multi-talented in the sense that she has before worked as MUA and hair-stylist for me and she always puts a tremendous amount of effort in to her work.

Katie is an absolutely lovely girl and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire.

Katie is a wonderful make up artist and I really love how she turnt me into a mermaid for the day!

I do hope I get the pleasure of working with her again, and if you ever get the chance to book Katie for make-up (or hair!) you will not regret it! :)

Viviam Kerr

Good job and better experience! she drew in my face until becoming in a mermaid's one, she's highly recommended!!

Worked with Katie today on a studio shoot with a few different themes and ideas. Make-up and hair was perfectly suited to the model and outfits.

Great pre-shoot communications and chatted throughout the day, even assisting in the final shoot.

Achieved some great shots today, and all enhanced by Katie's hard work. Thoroughly recommend and will work together on future shoots.

Dollie Myx

Worked with Katie on a Front Cover/Main feature photoshoot for Proper Eye Candy: Online Magazine.

Very lovely and chatty and easy to get along with.

Was very pleased with the standard to which Katie did my hair and make up and was able to do exactly what i wanted.

We spoke prior to the photoshoot and prearranged makeup and hair ideas so that we were prepared and ready to go on the day.

I highly recommend working with Katie and would love to work with her again in the future.
