Client love notes
Posted on ruchi pawarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding! She made me feel absolutely beautiful — honestly, the prettiest I’ve ever felt in my life. ✨ She understood my vision (even better than I did!) and brought it to life so perfectly. Every detail was just right, and I felt confident, radiant, and completely myself. Also, my mum looked absolutely stunning. I’m so grateful for her talent, warmth, and calm energy on such a special day. Highly recommend her to any bride who wants to look and feel incredible! 💄💫Posted on Emma SuthersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was so lovely and accommodating. She did makeup for myself, my sister, my mum and my sister in law. We all loved our looks so much. Marlies is so amazing at communicating and kept me up to date before, during and after the appt. We will definitely rebook Marlies if heading up to the coast.Posted on kelseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Marlies and her team for hair and makeup on my wedding day. I was so pleased with the result. Marlies and her team were fantastic to communicate with, as we were coming from out of state. They were very professional and lovely. I would highly recommend Marlies to anyone wanting make up for a special occasion.Posted on Samara MahoneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment I booked to have my hair/makeup done by Marlies for my wedding I felt completely at ease. Marlies was beyond helpful whenever I had a question or request. My bridesmaids and I felt amazing all day! Thank you for helping make our day so perfect and stress-free!Posted on Kirstin JungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Marlies for my wedding and from my very first meeting at the makeup trial, she was professional, kind, and immediately made me feel at ease. I was able to share my vision and Marlies was amazing at offering suggestions while still being attentive to my thoughts and feedback. I wanted a soft, natural bridal look that complemented my features (East Asian background). On my wedding day, she perfectly refined the look based on my feedback and I really couldn’t fault it at all. It was also so lovely to have her there, as a very special and intimate celebration, she had such a warm and calming presence. Marlies also did an amazing job with my mum’s makeup, tailoring the look beautifully to suit her outfit. Seeing how she was able to execute on my look perfectly, she is truly so talented at what she does. Thank you SO much!Posted on Natalie LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies is not only a talented hair and makeup artist, she is also a beautiful person. She is so kind, patient, and receptive to your thoughts and feedback. We were all so happy with our hair and makeup for my wedding, she truly made us feel gorgeous! I didn’t have to touch up my makeup once the whole night, it was perfect!!Posted on S StrijlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and myself booked an appointment with Marlies for a wedding which we attended a few weeks ago near Coolum. Marlies was very professional and caring and really listened to our choices on how we wanted our makeup and hair to look. We felt very comfortable at her home studio and her warm, kind and genuine nature made the whole experience wonderful. From the very beginning booking with a text to confirming emails and updates, Marlies was always prompt and polite. We left her home studio feeling amazing with the looks Marlies had achieved for us. We both had lovely comments on our hair and makeup throughout the evening. I would highly recommended Marlies and her business.Posted on HannahandSamuelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was incredible for my wedding hair and makeup. She was so kind and receptive to any changes I wanted to make, and her style is so tasteful. She made me feel so beautiful, and on the day I had so many compliments and people inquiring "who did it?!" Thank you SO much Marlies for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! You really exceeded my expectations!Posted on KirstenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was absolutely seamless and smooth to deal with throughout the entire booking process. Her communication was always prompt, friendly, and professional, which made everything so easy and stress-free. We eloped from NSW, so I wasn’t able to have a trial for my hair and makeup — yet both Marlies and Dee completely nailed it on the day! My hair and makeup were everything I’d envisioned and more. They created such a calm, relaxed, and happy atmosphere, which made my wedding morning so special. It was myself (the bride) along with the mother of the bride and groom, and everyone felt so comfortable and beautiful. I couldn’t recommend Marlies highly enough — she truly goes above and beyond and will not disappoint! 💕
