Christine is amazing. She did our makeup and hair for my wedding. She played a blinder. I’ve recommended her to all my friends who have weddings coming up. Love her work!

Christine [hair] and Helen [make up] had their work cut out for them on the 17th Aug 24 in Waterford this year! They each had 6 clients to get through which was not a bother for these super women. As the bride, I felt it was important for me to be as natural as possible and Helen nailed the look; I felt absolutely gorgeous and it lasted all day. My hair was equally stunning considering the brief from myself was so vague! The entire bridal party were thrilled with their final looks and absolute “rides” in my opinion. These guys were the very definition of professional but also slotted in seamlessly into the bridal party and got involved in the banter! I cannot recommend these two ladies enough, magicians I tell ya!!!

Christine I can’t thank you enough for the gorgeous hairstyle you created for my wedding day! It was exactly what i envisioned and stayed perfect from the first photo to the last dance. Your readiness for anything- with scissors, pins, and thoughtful advice at the ready- you gave me such peace of mind.
Thank you for your patience creating and for making the styling experience such a fun part of my wedding day!

Christine and Dolly were wonderful for our small group at my brothers wedding. So handy to have hair and make up come out to meet us at the venue and their work was fabulous. I would recommend them whole heartily and will look to book again in the future. It made the day feel effortless and we were well pampered. Thanks again!

I booked Christine for hair for myself and the bridal party. Christine was excellent and swift with replies to questions. Christine did a brilliant wedding trial and gave lots of tips and advice. Everyone was very happy with their hair style on the day. Would highly recommend Christine.

Christine is absolutely fantastic, she has done hair and make up for four weddings in our family and soon to be five. I would recommend her to any bride. Christine does a fantastic job and it is great that one person can do both hair and make up. Christine is so reliable, we don’t live in the easiest place to find and Christine always shows to with more than enough time and ample supplies to suit person. She is really brilliant. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I booked Christine Murphy for hair for myself, my bridal party and my mom on the morning of my wedding. From the very start through email it was easy, Christine was always so friendly and professional. I decided to have a trial and i knew there and then she had to do my hair for my wedding. She was extremely fast and so knowledgeable about any type of style and what to do. So easy to talk to and have a laugh with. The morning of my wedding was so chilled, fun and easy she gave everyone a different style, exactly what they asked for, that lasted well into the night and we were all extremely happy! My bridesmaids are still on about her how amazing she was. I wouldn’t of been able to get into my wedding dress on the morning, and i am so grateful for her and what she did for us, she was incredibly kind. I hope to be able to get her to do my hair again in the future! You have to book this lady I was so lucky I found her! So grateful and thankful, thank you.

I had Christine and Helen for my wedding hair and make up and my god it was prefect! Both ladies were amazing! Both hair and make up lasted throughout the day with no touch ups, only lips for photos. The bridesmaids hair & make up was fab too. Helen even got my mother in a full face of makeup she LOVED! I couldn’t have been happier and the girls were so accommodating and made us fell so relaxed.

Christine and Maria did our hair and make up the morning of the wedding. They did myself and 3 bridesmaids. The girls were so professional and so calm I felt they really enhanced the wedding morning at home. There was no stress or fuss! They were so patient and attentive with us walking out the door we all felt really beautiful. From start to finish they were so easy to work with, easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend them.

Christine Murphy (hair) and Rhona Cullinan (make up) were wonderful for our wedding last week. I loved my hair and makeup, as did the entire wedding party! Both Christine and Rhona were fantastic – they were so helpful- way beyond the call of duty!!! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Christine did my wedding hair and make up, along with the hair and/or make up of 2 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. I cannot describe just how perfectly she met all of our needs. My young bridesmaid wanted something young and funky, and ended up with the most beautiful faux mohawk that suited her down to the ground. My other bridesmaid wanted beachy natural waves with a half up style which just exceeded all of her expectations. My mother wanted a classic half up do with curls and height, and she was absolutely thrilled. I wanted a classic Hollywood look, and it was though Christine could see into my mind she got it that perfectly. 4 completely different looks for different people and everyone was absolutely thrilled. I’m not exaggerating when i say that not a hair was put of place, and i only needed to to top up my lipstick throughout the night. Christine was a joy to have on what could be a stressful morning. Christine stayed until I left to ensure everyone was 100% happy, and was more than happy to fix any issues we may have had. I highly recommend Christine for your wedding hair and/or make up. She really is the best!!

Christine thank you so much for creating such fabulous styles for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding on the 4th August. I loved my vintage curls, was exactly how I wanted it to be and it lasted all day!! You were a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend you!

I had booked Christine Murphy to do my wedding hair as I had a trial with her & was very impressed. The night before the wedding my make up artist cancelled. I knew Christine did make up so I frantically called her. In 2 mins she had me calmed down & booked in for hair & make up the following morning.
She arrived the day of the wedding bang on time despite living so far from me & got started on working her magic. She had colour print outs of the photos she had taken from the trial so there was no guess work on what we had discussed from the trial. I have to admit I was a little nervous about my make up having not done a trial. I need not have worried as Christine blew me away with my make up..I LOVED it. My bridesmaid was also delighted with hers.
Christine got my photographer to take a pic with his camera & she checked it to make sure all looked good in HD. Both hair & make up stayed put all day & night. I can’t recommend Christine enough. She is so organized, professional & most of all calming..just the person you want around you on such a big day. My only gripe is that she lives so far away from me, otherwise I’d have her booked all the time.

Christine was amazing from when I first booked her until I left the house for the church on my wedding day. She couldn’t have done more to help myself and my bridal party. Hair was still going strong the next day we were delighted with our styles. Would highly recommend Christine to anyone.

Christine was wonderful! Planning a wedding overseas and not being able to bring my usual hair dresser was stressful, but Christine exceeded my expectations both on how she did my hair and make up, but also because of her demeanor that morning. She was calm, provided us with music since our phones didn’t work there, and waited until I had lunch to do the final touches (her idea!). thank you so much making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Christine was hairdresser for my wedding day 8th Dec 2017. On the day Christine looked after my own hair aswell as 3 bridesmaids, my Flower girl and my Mam. Right through from the trial to when I walked up the aisle Christine was completely professional, full of helpful information and most of all totally relaxed and calming for me. Christine had us all ready to go in plenty of time looking beautiful. She is fantastic at upstyles and despite bopping around the floor for hours at my reception...every hair stayed in place till I took it out in the wee hours of the morning. Would highly recommend Christine for your wedding or any events.....you won't be disappointed.

Christine did my hair and make-up for my wedding day in October, plus my bridesmaid's and mother. It was just the way I imagined it and absolutely perfect. Everyone was 120% happy and my mum looked absolutely gorgeous. On top of hair and make up, Christine also jumped in helping with dresses and corsages. She was amazing! Thank you so much again, I can absolutely recommend her services.
Hi Christine,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your work on September 1st. You did an absolutely amazing job, honestly as you know I go to weddings almost as often as you and have seen lots of dodgy hairdos so I was nervous before booking anyone, but the hair was exactly what I wanted on the day. Every person whose hair you did loved their style and each one was completely different and really suited the person. You made 6 girls/women very happy!! You were also such a pleasure to have around the house on the day - that meant a lot to us all.

Thanks a million and I hope that the rest of your wedding season goes well!
Judy.
Hi Christine,

Thanks again.

Hi Christine,

I hope you are keeping well! I just wanted to drop and e-mail to say thank you so much for the beautiful work on everyone's hair on my wedding day.

I wish you every continued success and will not hesitate to recommend you to future brides.

Warm Regards

Christine did an amazing job on both hair and make-up for my wedding. She managed to get five hairstyles and make-up done in great time, without ever sacrificing quality. She completely transformed by hair (which is very fine) into a mane of fabulous swirls pinned up. She was lovely and calm on the morning and great to be around as I was getting ready. The hair and make-up did not budge all day. I had so many great comments about my hair on the day of the wedding and afterwards. Having a hairdresser that you trust on your wedding day is one of the most important considerations for a bride, and Christine definitely fits this bill - I was so happy she was recommended to me and now I highly recommend her.

Dear Christine,

Just a little note to say what a joy it was having you as our hair dresser and make-up artist on the 18th. I have never gotten so many compliments, I was told over and over again that my hair was "amazing", "stunning", "beautiful" etc etc.

I loved what you did in the trial, but the style on the day was even more gorgeous than I had imagined. I'm attaching a couple of photos here including one taken during the wee small hours, where you can see that it survived almost all of the wild dancing (no pro ones yet, I'll forward those whenever I get them). The make-up was perfect too, and it didn't budge until I took it off - which was nearly 24 hours after you applied it!

Fabienne, Mom and Lisa were also delighted with their looks. It was so lovely having you there on the morning, such great chat and laughs. I was so relaxed when the time came to head to the church and I think you had a lot to do with that.

Thanks so, so much Christine - I was thrilled that you were part of my day.
Love from Lille

Hi Christine

Just want to say a big thank you for your fantastic work on our hair for my wedding on the 11th Aug. My hair didn’t budge till i took it down at 11pm on the Friday Night! I got so many compliments about it on the day.

Thank you for your extra help in the chaos on the morning, getting me into the dress, minding the boys etc. The last half hour was a bit stressful but with all hands on deck i managed to get to the church on time!

Lousia
Thank-you so much for all your hard work on the morning of my wedding, you were amazing managing all the hair and makeup. Everyone was commenting on how well all of the hair and makeup looked on the day and that you did a brilliant job.

If you want to put the photos on your website, you can, though you may need better quality photos which I can send you.

Thanks again,
Emma

Hi Christine,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for working your magic on myself and the girls on the 18th of March 2011. We were complimented so much on the day and I know a huge amount of that goes to the magic of good hairstyling, so thank you for your help. Our hairstyles stayed in place the whole day. :)

Thanks once again.

I just wanted to commend Christine Murphy for the hair and make up that she did for my wedding on April 2nd. She was so professional and easy to deal with that she really put me at ease. I was very impressed with how my hair and make up looked at my trial and on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Christine to potential customers.
Hi Christine,

I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to say a huge thank you for your contribution to our fantastic day. We were all over the moon with our hairstyles and we all got the next day out of them too! I enjoyed the morning getting ready so much, thanks in no small part to your skill and friendliness and I have recommended you already several times over.

Thanks again,
Warmest Regards,
Karen
Hi Christine,

This is a long overdue message but the sentiment is still the same - you were absolutely super! You completed 7 hairstyles on 7 picky people and managed to cooperate with the make-up artist seamlessly.

You managed to get volume and texture into my record breaking fine hair and not a strand moved all day - I am so very, very grateful.

I have recommended you to several brides-to-be and only wish I was getting married all over again!

Thanks again

Hi Tanya & Christine

We’re back from honeymoon but still on a major buzz from the wedding.

I wanted to say to BIG BIG thank you to you and Christine for making us look our very best and also for adding to our day.

You were both so lovely to be around and I have lovely memories from the morning of the wedding. You took really great care of us and even stayed around until we were ready to go, touching us up last minute, fixing nails, fixing flowers etc!!!

We have some great photos of you both! I’ll send on some snaps when we get organised.

We had loads and loads of comments from our friends on our hair and make-up...I couldn’t have wished for more...I really think it was the best I could have ever looked. Aileen even slept in her make-up and woke up the next day like as if it was just done.

Even the scecptical mother...who doesn’t usually wear make-up was absolutely thrilled with how she looked...she had so many comments that she looked 10 years younger.

Karina
Hi Christine,

Just a quick email to let you know how happy I was with how you did my hair for my wedding day. It looked absolutely amazing (especially considering I didn’t have loads of hair to play with), and everyone kept telling me all day long how gorgeous it looked. Everyone was asking me for your details, so I’ll make sure to email everyone soon with your website address.

My hair looked as amazing at the end of the night as it did at the beginning....even with lots of dancing and hugging! It was really comfortable, no sore head at the end of the night.

I’d recommend to you anyone as you’re the best upstylist I’ve ever met....how lucky am I that I had you for my big day!

Thanks again.

Kind regards,
Susan (McGuinness) Cooper
Hi Christine
