Wedding Hair and Makeup by Lisa Alger
Having trained and worked as a fully qualified and professional makeup artist, I then went on to train as a hair stylist specialising in wedding hair and makeup in Essex. As well as offering my services to brides and members of the bridal party, I also produce hair and makeup for anyone attending a special occasion or prom. I trained at London’s most prestigious schools including AOFM and The London School of Beauty and Makeup, plus I have taken extensive training from leading hairstylists based in Russia, America and Australia. I believe that my continuous training enables me to style on trend bridal hair and makeup.
Being fully mobile I am able to come to your home or wedding venue, anywhere in Essex. The makeup products I use will leave your complexion looking flawless and glowing and will be captured by your wedding photographer beautifully, and most importantly lasting right through to your wedding night. I use only the highest quality cosmetics including Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Mac and Makeup Forever to name a few, plus I also offer Airbase airbrushing foundation and apply lashes for no extra cost.
My hair styling includes soft and romantic up dos as well as structured hairstyles, blow dries, braids, curls and any style my clients require. I work with each individual client to find their perfect style and adapt it accordingly to their needs. As well as creating classic and modern bridal hair styles I also fit accessories such as veils, tiaras and flowers. See below for some frequently asked questions.
In 2014 I won Regional Hair Stylist of the year in The Wedding Industry Awards, and was awarded Highly Commended nationally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do you allow for each person’s hair and makeup on the wedding day?
- Depending on the style I usually allow an hour and half for Bride hair and makeup, and one hour for others in the bridal party's hair and makeup. There is no time limit during your trial.
- Do you charge travel costs?
- Travel to anywhere within Essex is included. Areas outside Essex are charged at 40p per mile from the Essex border for the round trip, plus toll charges if necessary.
- When should I wash my hair before my trial?
- Hair washed the day before your trial can sometimes be easier to work with. However, if you have an oily scalp and would prefer to wash your hair on the morning of your trial and wedding day then this is fine also.
- Do I need to pay a deposit and how can payments be made?
- A non-refundable deposit of £20 will be required to hold the date of your wedding in my diary up until your trial. This will be taken off your trial cost when you pay for your trial, which can either be on the day in cash or by bank transfer immediately after. Once you are 100% happy with your trial a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total wedding day cost is required to finally secure the wedding day in my diary. Again, this can either be paid in cash at the trial on within 2 days after the trial by bank transfer.
- Do you hire out hair extensions?
- Clip-in hair extensions are increasingly popular as they allow a bride to expand her choice of hairstyles. A set of extensions are available to hire for your wedding day at the following costs: Hire fee (per set) £20 Refundable deposit (per set) £15 Deposits will be refunded once extensions are returned in good condition. Deposits made by cheque will be cashed and on receipt of the extensions the deposit will be paid back in cash, cheque or bank transfer.

- Are lashes and airbrush foundation included in the costs?
- Yes. Airbrushing foundation and lashes are included in the costs. Depending on the desired look then either airbrushing or traditional foundation will be used. One set of lashes is included at the trial and on the wedding day. Additional sets of lashes used, after the first set, are charged at £5 extra per person, per set.
