As an Edinburgh based hair and makeup artist, I specialise in creating effortlessly elegant looks that feel elevated yet completely true to you. My signature style blends refined, natural makeup with polished, modern hairstyling, thoughtfully designed to complement your features, personality, and aesthetic.
Beyond artistry alone, my approach is rooted in calm precision and genuine connection, ensuring you feel supported, confident, and at ease from our first conversation to the final touch. Every detail is considered to create an experience that feels both luxurious and deeply personal, allowing you to truly enjoy the transformation.
While I specialise in sophisticated bridal styling, I also offer hair and makeup for special occasions, corporate events, and commercial projects- all delivered with the same refined, modern aesthetic. Based in Edinburgh, I am available for weddings and events across Scotland, the UK, and beyond.

“I cannot recommend Melanie highly enough!! Myself, my Maid of Honour and my Mum have all never felt so beautiful, but also still so ourselves - a balance which Melanie always gets so right! From my very first enquiry, to my makeup/hair trial and the big day, Melanie was so lovely, professional and helpful. The amount of effort and attention to detail Melanie put in, whilst staying so utterly cool under pressure, was so impressive and appreciated. Also, my hair and make-up stayed perfect ALL day long (even after many a ceilidh dance!). So ultimately, from one bride to another - you will be very lucky to have Melanie with you for your wedding day!.”
