meet jo Elizabeth

A wildling day-dreamer from the north, on a beauty mission to serve modern bridal babes with luxury, natural bridal makeup and hair in the stunning surrey hills of Reigate and beyond!

P.s I didn't take ALL my beauty advice from Vitamin supplements- don't worry!

Just like the Berocca advert once wisely proclaimed, my aim is to create bridal looks that are like “You, but on a really good day”

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Sit back, relax and let's dive into the world cool, effortless, clean bridal makeup and hair styles that work for the modern, natural bridal babe.

So, if there is one thing you should know about our time together, it is that I do not encourage it to be stuffy affair!

True to my northern roots, I love a good natter, throwing out some cheeky one-liners and always happy to hear girly gossip. I will also most definitely fueled by a caffeinated beverage or two. ( I’m obviously a flat white millennial- Please don’t judge me too harshly..they just taste damn good!)

Equally, I love my brides to feel like they can be themselves, relax and enjoy the process- because how often is it we really get to treat ourselves with such an experience?

To me, the best outcomes in the makeup chair are derived from collaborative mutual relationships with my clients, thus I have designed my services with this in mind- so you still feel like you. Just naturally enhanced, and elevated!

My Journey into weddings...

In early 2016 I had just completed a six month contract as a Beauty professional on-board an international cruise liner.

After working in luxury cosmetics retail for the better part of 6+ yrs [whilst gaining my beauty training and make-up degree] I was ready for a new challenge and decided to up-sticks from the North of England to London to become a freelancer.

( Side note: I have always loved a little adventure, and my motto is “You can always go home if you hate it”- turns out I didn’t.)

My light bulb moment came several months into my second year of “just-say-yes-to-everything-makeup-related” phase, whilst on a T.V set.

As I waited to do another round of makeup “checks”, I tucked into my third bored-to-tears-chocolate treat before 10am and began emailing a colleague who I was assisting with larger wedding bookings.

It dawned on me that although I enjoyed freelancing for the most part, my favourite energy came from weddings. Hands down. I adored the clients, the suppliers, the dress’s….the shoes! ( I am tiny and LOVE a heel) I liken the process to my favourite part of any night out- getting ready with ya besties!

I set out to build a wedding business, and Jo Elizabeth Hair and Makeup has been my passion project ever since!

Five years on (and a a global pandemic later) we are continuously evolving and serving 70+ weddings a year!

My team and I would love to be part of your wedding journey, you can contact me or find our more about our Booking Process.

Can’t wait to hear from you!

Positive Vibes

Jo was my stylist for hair and make up at my wedding. She was incredibly professional, responsive, knowledgeable and lovely to be around. I hadn't had my hair or make up done professionally before and so I was a little tentative at my trial and wasn't really sure what I wanted. Jo really put me at ease and made to sure to listen to carefully to what I wanted and reassured me often that we could make any changes if I wanted them. She was an amazingly calm and positive presence to have in the room whilst I was getting ready on the morning of my wedding and made me feel like a million dollars! I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal makeup artist or hair stylist. Thanks Jo!

Jo is a phenomenal talented lady, and one of the nicest people in the industry. She's creative and tenacious, really pays attention to what you want, and absolutely understands what a bride wants to look and feel like on her big day. Couldn't recommend her more! You are in safe hands with Jo.

Jo is truly wonderful. Her attention to detail and her ability to transform ideas into reality is fabulous. I felt I looked the best version of myself on my wedding day and my bridesmaids and mother all looked terrific. She made sure we were all comfortable and really listened to what we had to say. She answered my many questions and helped me feel really confident. Thank you!
