"A Favour From The Happy Couple"
This is how the Favour from the happy couple works.
Both Makeup artist and myself arrive at your guide time when dessert will be served up. At an appropriate time and after we have set up outside the main room. We enter the room and place a favour from the happy couple acrylic sign on each table in black and white. (These can be personalised with the couples names or wedding colours)
While we place the signs we inform guests that we are the favour from the happy couple and are available after dinner for hair and make up touch ups. (mostly it's fallen lashes, lips and help to remove head pieces, smooth hair, clean up fallen curls etc.)

July 29, 2023 at 8:10 pmI felt extremely lucky to have such a professional, creative, incredibly experienced hair stylist by my side in the lead up to and on the day of my wedding. The kindness, flexibility and all round feeling of special and excitement from the trial to the big day and even afterwards that I received from Mercedes was beyond exceptional. I’m so proud to recommend Mercedes to anyone that is in need of a fabulous hair stylist. I had the most amazing experience from the initial stages of the journey to even after the wedding was over. Mercedes was so accommodating – nothing was an issue and carried out so many extra’s, especially on morning of the wedding such as capturing photo’s that no one else had got, helping with my dress, not to mention created a tiktok video of the morning, and more. Mercedes really brings the Wow factor to the table with her attention to detail, expertise, sense of humor and calmness alongside her anything is possible and fun attitude. Thank you so much for playing an unbelievable role around my wedding day.

July 12, 2023 at 10:30 pmMercedes is amazing at what she does. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and it was even more than I had hoped. My up-style lasted until the next day. I have already rebooked her for the next wedding I am attending. Highly recommend.

December 6, 2022 at 2:58 pmMercedes was an absolute joy to have work on my hair for my wedding day. She was so lovely and sweet and we had a laugh or three along the way from my trial to the big day itself. I could not recommend anyone more attentive, who listen, gave their thoughts and was will to change and try again if things didn’t suit. She is a true professional and just amazing at what she does. I got endless amounts of comments on how beautiful it looked and it lasted until the very end of the night in perfect condition.
I highly recommend Mercedes, she is hugely talented, listens to want you want and turns it into a masterpiece. Put your mind at ease and choose her to make you feel relaxed and look a million dollars!

November 10, 2022 at 1:01 pmI always wanted long, luscious locks and decided to get hair extensions for my friends wedding. I asked Mercedes if she could help. At my first appointment, Mercedes matched up my hair PERFECTLY with the samples that she had and put in my order. The 2nd appointment was about 2weeks later when Mercedes fitted the extensions and I was blown away by the results (see before & after photos). Mercedes showed me a few simple up-styles and advised me on how to care for my hair. She also kept in touch with me for the first few weeks to see if I was managing them. I felt that Mercedes listened to what I wanted and certainly delivered with the utmost professionalism. She has a wonderful personality and is caring and friendly. I recommend Mercedes without hesitation to any bride-to-be for their bridal party or for any party!

Nothing is ever too big of an ask for her! She has a fantastic personality and a sense of humour that will make any length of time in a salon chair fly by. She is truly gifted at what she does. I always leave her feeling a million dollars! She is the best of the best.

November 6, 2022 at 10:00 pmMercedes has been our hairstylist for many years. She is very talented and is a beautiful person. Such laughs we have when she visits our home to do our hair. She put extensions in my daughter’s hair over a year ago and wow! such a beautiful job. My daughters hair has improved so much under Mercedes care. Would highly recommend Mercedes as she is gifted in all aspects of hairdressing.

November 7, 2022 at 7:59 amI had the great pleasure of having Mercedes do my hair on my wedding day along with my three bridesmaids. She did a tremendous job with the curls and each hair style, which retained throughout the day. She also added some clip on extensions to offer additional thickness, which I’ve never tried before but was very impressed with and would not hesitate in having it done again. Together with being a highly skilled hairstylist, she has an amazing personality and etiquette, is very professional but most importantly, knows how to make you feel very comfortable and relaxed on the day. I would highly recommend Mercedes.
