Road To Beauty - Wanaka Makeup & Hair

Deirdre looked after myself and my sister in law for a family wedding in early July. She was so warm and welcoming and listened to what we wanted. I had my makeup done and my SIL had her hair styled. We were both incredibly happy with the end results. Thanks Deirdre.

Deirdre was incredible! She made me feel like the most perfect bride on my wedding day. The hair and makeup was perfect for me and my bridesmaids and it stayed on perfect all day…didn’t even need to do touch ups after being in the sun all day. Would absolutely recommend 110% if you want to look and feel your best on your big day!

Deirdre did the make-up for my sisters wedding, and she did an amazing job! She did the bride, 5 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride all on her own, and everyone single one of us were ecstatic with how our make-up turned out! All of us are not big on wearing make-up, and wanted to keep a natural look, which Deirdre absolutely perfected. She made the make-up look so natural and effortless.Thank you so much Deirdre for making my sisters day that much more special :)

Deidre is amazing at making her brides feel beautiful and confident. Getting ready with Deidre was so much fun and free of any stress. I'm so grateful to her for being a part of my day and helping to make it so special. She listened to what me, my 5 bridesmaids and the MOTB wanted and made sure we were all 100% happy with both hair and makeup. From my trial to the big day, Deidre was so committed, reliable and relaxed. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Deirdre did the hair and make up for me & my wife for our wedding in May. She is amazing and very talented at what she does, as well as having a warm and relaxing demeanour. She helps to put you at ease whilst making you feel really beautiful and like a true bride. Highly recommend!!

I recently had Deirdre do both hair and makeup for a special wedding. To say she was fabulous was an understatement. I was not organised with pictures but she just ‘got it ‘ with a brief descriptions and really nailed exactly what I wanted ( she has ESP ) - simply delighted with the results. On top of an amazing job she was on time, extremely organised and just wonderful to talk to - a naturally calming person to be around when you are a little nervous. I can’t wait to have her perform magic on me again.

Deidre did my hair and make-up for my elopement in Wanaka and was absolutely incredible. We had such a great time hanging out and I felt like a million dollars. Most importantly, Deidre helped me feel 'like me', which was important to me for my wedding, only fancier!

Deidre was so amazing and such an important part of our special day!! She did the makeup for myself and my 3x bridesmaids, and also styled my hair. I wanted a Hollywood wave style with short/ medium length hair which was a difficult feat but Deidre nailed it!One of my bridesmaids had never had her makeup done professionally, another had rosacea and she equally made us all feel and look beautiful. The makeup was the perfect blend of natural glam which is exactly what I was after. I did a lot of research and Deidre’s portfolio online speaks for itself. As someone who is a bit of a perfectionist trust me when I say that you will be in very capable hands with Deidre!!Thank you Deidre for your kindness and for helping to make our day perfect xx Tatjana

Deidre is awesome! She's so easy to talk to and made me feel instantly comfortable. She knew exactly what to use for my skin tone, and she got the brief straight away when it came to my and my partner's hair. I'd recommend Road To Beauty to anyone who wants to feel like an absolute princess on their big day!

Deirdre and Teresa made us feel very special on the morning of my wedding. They wanted to know exactly what we wanted before they started hair and makeup and they created exactly what we asked for. My sister-in-law said that she couldn't remember the last time she felt so beautiful and my mother-in-law said that she didn't feel as beautiful on her own wedding day.Deirdre and Teresa went above and beyond and when Deirdre found out I was Scottish, and was adding little Scottish bits into the wedding, she rushed to get me her very own quaich to use during the wedding. This was such a lovely, personal touch that I just wasn't expecting but it was such a touching surprise.Even though my family were unable to attend our wedding due to covid, it was people like Deirdre that made me feel like there were so many people working towards making it the most perfect wedding possible, which it absolutely was!We can't thank Deirdre and Teresa enough.
