Our Story

    Founded by London's leading wedding hair & makeup artist

    Meet Gemma

    Bridal Hair & Makeup Directory was created by Gemma, London's leading wedding hair and makeup artist and the owner of one of the most sought-after bridal beauty agencies in the United Kingdom. For two decades, Gemma and her team have styled brides at the most luxurious weddings across Great Britain and Europe, from historic country estates to grand city celebrations.

    Over twenty years at the very top of the industry, Gemma has learned exactly what separates an exceptional wedding morning from an ordinary one: the right artist. Someone with impeccable skill, a calm presence, and an instinct for making every bride look and feel like the very best version of herself.

    Why We Built This Directory

    After years of receiving messages from brides in the United States asking for recommendations, Gemma saw a gap. American brides deserved the same standard of bridal beauty she had spent her career upholding in London, but there was no elegant, trustworthy place to find it.

    So she created one. Bridal Hair & Makeup Directory brings together talented wedding hair and makeup artists from across the United States in one beautifully curated place, built on everything Gemma knows about what brides truly need on their wedding day.
