"Jess was fab! She had my mind at ease the whole time. She follows up afterwards to make sure that everything went well which is also fantastic! If you or someone you know is getting married Stellar Bridal has to be at the top of the list!"

"The girls and I loved our make-up! And it stayed perfect the whole night - I even woke up with my eyelashes perfectly in place haha. Thank you so much Jess!  I absolutely loved my wedding make-up and felt like a superstar all night.  I cannot recommend Jess highly enough, she did an amazing job and it was awesome to have a laugh with her as we got psyched up for the big day!

 

Jess went above and beyond, picking up the wedding flowers for us as she drove down from Dunedin and then stepping up to do my Sister's make up with no notice as well :)"

"I had the privilege of having Jess and Jen on the morning of my wedding, they did an absolutely amazing job on our makeup and everyone loved their tans that jess done the night before! I couldn't of asked for better! They went above and beyond their duties to make sure the morning went smoothly! Wouldn't change a thing!"

Jen did an amazing job of doing my hair (absolutely loved it), and the bridesmaids hair looked fantastic as well. Jess did a beautiful job with the makeup for the whole wedding party (Bride, bridesmaids and mother of the bride) exactly what I asked- lovely and natural and it lasted all night long. Jess also gave me a nice natural spray tan the week of the wedding which helped to bring everything together on the day. Everything worked out perfectly- very happy bride- Jess & Jen were fantastic! x"

"Jen was amazing, so professional felt like my best friend. Even told my 10 year old who was keen on learning makeup some tips and I couldn't have asked for a better person to make me feel like a princess. I've never worn makeup or had my hair done in my life and my hubby to be at the time cried at our first look. Can't recommend Stellar Bridal enough"

"Jen did an absolutely beautiful job on our hair for my wedding. She was so adaptable when I started changing my mind last minute about how I wanted to look. She completely understood the look I was going for and transformed my thin straight hair to a curly voluminous up do. Jen brought a calm and confident presence to the morning and helped us all feel at ease (a hard job when there's the bride, best friend, two young children, parents and grandparents all getting ready in a tiny house!)"

beautiful bride dunedin

"Jess and Jen were absolutely amazing on my wedding day in late February and they made the whole day stress free and so chilled. Jess did an amazing job on my eyebrows, tan, pedicure, and manicure and an excellent job on my wedding makeup. Jen did an absolutely amazing job on my bridesmaid's makeup and was very patient and accommodating of my bridesmaids, as not all of my bridesmaids usually wear makeup so she was very understanding of personal preferences. I would highly recommend Stellar Bridal, for all your beauty needs if you are planning your wedding :) "

"I've had the absolute privilege of working with Jess on a number of projects together. She maintains the upmost professionalism when working, she is so easy to get along with and makes her clients feel at ease, and her makeup and hair skills are phenomenal. I would not hesitate to recommend her, use her, or work with her again in the future. If I could rate her higher than 5 stars, I would!"

"Jess and her team were amazing on my wedding day they did my bridesmaid, mum and my hair and makeup on the day. Also Jess gave me a tan and did my brows and lashes during the week after the rough week I had I felt like a million bucks. We had two crazy toddlers running around and they were still both professional. Just wanna say a big thanks to Jess and her team. I would recommend her very highly and no bride would regret this decision. So thanks Jess :) "

Firstly want to say huge thanks to Jessica from Stellar Bridal Dunedin, I had a huge party with 9 of us girls including littlies and mother of the bride.

best hair and makeup milton nz

"I asked Jess to come and do my own bridal makeup and hair, my mums and her best friend's makeup and hair and a spray tan (my 1st ever) Jess came to my home in Milton for the rehearsal and I instantly felt that I could trust her with how I looked on the biggest day of my life. She put me at ease, and made me feel confident in my own, breaking out and sad looking skin. My rosacea has been a constant issue for me for years, and in one afternoon Jess made all of my anxieties and embarrassment go away. I know that she was the person I wanted to make me feel and look my best on my wedding day. 

On the wedding day Jess arrived early even though our location was totally rural and off the grid. She was completely professional throughout, but still incredibly friendly and personable. My hair turned out better that I ever expected... Pinterest worthy! and my makeup looked amazing, very classic and not too much just like I had requested. My hair and makeup earned as much praise as my dress in the end. My mum and her friend received compliments galore too, and were feeling great all day because of it. 

I can't recommend these ladies enough.. If I have friends getting married in the future I know who I will insist handles their hair and makeup. 10/10 ♡"

"The day before my wedding I met a beautiful talented woman- her name is Jessica Campbell, the owner of Stellar Bridal, based in Dunedin! Jess travelled to Queenstown the day before my wedding to give me the best tan I've ever had, then came back and done my hair and makeup on my wedding day. That day I made a new friend!! For someone who isn't comfortable wearing makeup, Jess just made me feel so comfortable and at ease!! For anyone looking for someone who is talented at what they do, and genuinely cares, message Jess- that's all I did! Thanks for my pressie Jess xx"

"It's been a crazy few months and I hope you are well and your business is surviving. Man what a mission that wedding day was. But here we are, married, into our 3rd month, really can't believe that.

Thankyou for being wonderful that morning. On reflection there was a lot of stress with not knowing what would happen and not being in my element at all. Then there was the rain and the last minute wet weather plan. But it's done now, which is an accomplishment in itself. We finally have our photos from our wonderful photographer, delayed due to COVID and looking at those you wouldn't know the drama that unfolded alongside the day." (Kyla's day managed to still go ahead just days before NZ's Covid-19 lockdown)

"Jinty here, emailing from the last night of our micro-honeymoon in Te Anau. I will send a proper card when I get home and have pics, but I wanted to follow up before the week was out to say a heartfelt THANK YOU for doing such an amazing job of bride and mum-of-the-bride hair and makeup last weekend. I just felt a million dollars all day - you nailed the simple but elegant look I’d vaguely hoped might be achievable - and I have never seen my mum look happier or more confident in herself than she did last Sunday. We all loved your chatty demeanour and the way that you made everything feel so easy and natural...it was the most enjoyable way to spend the morning, and we feel so delighted to have met you.
Sooo...card to come, but I didn’t want you waiting that long for a giant thank you, given how much gratitude we all feel!"

"Hi Jess, hope you're having a great week! Wedding went really well, we did the ceremony indoors due to weather but at least it stopped when I got out of the carraige. Don't worry about the change, please keep it as you deserve it! You've been so helpful that day and even helped with my piercings and veil during our photoshoot. Everything apart from the weather was perfect! We even managed to have lots of shots outside for sunset etc"

best hair and makeup dunedin

"The makeup was fantastic. The photos turned out great despite mum thinking she had too much highlighter or whatever on, she did in fact look great in the photos as Jen knew she would! It rained the whole afternoon and our photos were taken in the pouring rain, although you can't really tell. My makeup held well. Thanks so much for having the flexibility to travel to the farm. I had alot of stress beforehand worrying about trying to find a venue in town to get it done. I was really great to be able to relax at home and get it done. Until we had booked you I thought I would have had to hire a hotel room just to get makeup done."

She's very professional, relaxed (very appreciated on this stressful day) and is really listening to your wishes! She could create the perfect look to match my dress, wedding vibe and personality (the purple lippy was such a good choice!!!) When I look back on the photos taken that I still can't believe that this beautiful bride is me! Thankyou again for all your talent."
