Client love notes
Posted on Fiona GrahamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies exceeded all my expectations for my wedding hair and makeup. She communicated clearly from the start, listened carefully to my vision, and made sure I was completely happy every step of the way. When I changed my mind on a few details, she adapted without any hesitation and made me feel supported throughout the process. She was also incredibly accommodating when I needed to change dates, and her pricing was very reasonable for the quality of service she provided. Having her come to my home on the day was so convenient and helped make the morning run smoothly. Beyond her talent, Marlies is genuinely one of the loveliest people you'll meet. She made me feel beautiful, calm, and confident, and her positive energy was exactly what I needed on my wedding day. If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist who is professional, flexible, affordable, and truly cares about her clients, look no further than Marlies.Posted on Xialyn CabanligTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much for making the whole experience feel so calm and relaxed. You did such a gorgeous job with mine and bridal party’s hair and makeup, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. You made us feel so beautiful and looked after, the make up and hair lasted for the whole duration of my wedding. I’m so grateful for everything. Highly recommend! 🤍✨Posted on Laura CaseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend Marlies highly enough! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was so happy with how everything turned out. I don’t often have my hair or makeup professionally done, so I really wanted to still feel like myself, just a little more polished, and Marlies absolutely nailed it. She listened to exactly what I wanted and created such a beautiful, natural makeup look, and my hair was exactly how I had pictured it. Everything lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night too! Marlies was also so lovely, calm and easy to chat to while I was getting ready, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. I felt so comfortable with her and completely trusted her from the moment we started. Thank you so much, Marlies, for making me feel so beautiful and confident on such a special day. I’m so grateful to have had you there and would absolutely recommend you to any future brides! 🤍Posted on KayleighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was absolutely incredible, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️ From the moment she arrived, she brought such a warm, calming and beautiful energy to the morning. Marlies did my bridal hair and makeup, as well as my mum’s and my best friend's make up, and she made all three of us feel so incredibly special and beautiful. She was so patient, kind and attentive, constantly checking in on us and making sure we felt comfortable. She went above and beyond with every little detail, including keeping an eye on our makeup and giving us beautiful touch-ups throughout the morning. I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day, and it meant so much knowing my mum and best friend felt just as beautiful. Marlies, thank you for being such a wonderful part of our wedding morning. You made us feel so cared for, confident and beautiful, and I’ll always be grateful that you were there with us for such a precious moment in our lives. Highly, highly recommend Marlies. She is incredibly talented, but it’s her warmth, kindness and genuine care that make her truly special. ❤️Posted on Jennifer GreenfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently got married in Coolum and was very lucky to have Marlies transform my hair and make-up into the most beautiful version I have seen myself in. I seriously could not stop looking in the mirror! Before I met Marlies in person, we had gone over the style I was looking for, and based off my ideas, she really made magic happen. I was not from the Sunshine Coast, so working from my hotel was absolutely no fuss, as Marlies had everything you could possibly need, with her. She was very prompt and I felt so incredibly relaxed in her presence, at times, forgetting I was about to get married! Marlies is very experienced- it was clear to see. She checked for my approval/ideas throughout the whole appointment before moving on to the next part of applying make-up and hair styling. The result was so much better than I had envisioned. I would highly recommend Marlies for anything make-up or hairstyle related. The gorgeous end result is from perfectionism and expertise from Marlies, with the added bonus of having a calming and beautiful soul in your presence, turning you into the Queen you deserve to be!Posted on Elizabeth LyeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was absolutely wonderful! I organised her for friends wedding recently and we were all so happy with our looks. She was lovely, professional and made us all feel so comfortable on such a special day. Our makeup looked beautiful and lasted all day. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️✨Posted on Morgan AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies was a dream to work with! She did hair and make up for me and my mum on my Wedding Day. I had a trial with her at her home and she was very accomodating. She talked me through all that she was doing, took into account any worries or requests I made and was more than happy to make any adjustments that I wanted. On the day of my wedding she was a lovely calming energy to have around and made the morning as smooth as possible. I was so happy with the final product of my natural soft glam make up and lovely sleeked up do with a gorgeous bun. Marlies is a lovely person and I will be reccommending her to any future brides xxPosted on Samantha WebsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlies is EXCEPTIONAL both as a person and a makeup artist. She handled 2 completely different looks for both myself and my wife on our wedding day this August and we looked stunning! Doing hair & makeup for 2 lesbian brides in under 5 hours is honestly such an impressive feat. She also kept our nerves in check, was SO kind, did our hair and our makeup trial too. I cannot recommend her enough - she is brilliant, calm inside chaos, meticulous and so warm, if you have an event, she is a fantastic choice!Posted on Samantha McKiernanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a wonderful and seamless experience and my look was so much better than I expected. She was such a beautiful and professional person and I will definitely be using her again many times in the future.Posted on Tamika LawlorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
