Hi, my name is Bex Fennessy, and I'd love to help you feel a million dollars on your special day.

With more than 20 years of experience in the hair and makeup industry, I bring a wealth of experience to creating the perfect look and styles for women and men in the Bay of Islands, Cook Islands, and other destinations as arranged.

Currently I freelance on TV and film hair and makeup and work on productions, editorial and commercial shoots, however to be a part of someone's happiest day is definitely something I thoroughly enjoy and feel very lucky to be a part of it.

I have a Diploma in Makeup Artistry from The Makeup School, Auckland and an NZQA National Certificate in Hairdressing, worked as a long-term contractor for Maori Television Studios and tutored at The Makeup School.

I offer wedding hair and makeup for weddings in Rarotonga and Aitutaki with a pre-trial in Auckland, and bridal hair and makeup for Bay of Island weddings. Before the big day it is essential for us to get together for a two-hour trial at my home studio so that we can have a play with what styles suit and complement you and that you are comfortable with. By meeting and working together as a team, we can find a style you are 100% happy with so that there are no surprises leading up to your special day.

To book me for your hair and makeup, get in touch.

Why choose me as your hair stylist and makeup artist?

Finding the right person to do your hair and makeup, especially for a big event like your wedding is important.

A fun and friendly approach combined with professionalism

I always get the job done to the highest standard but I like to have a bit of fun along the way to help you and your bridesmaids feel relaxed.

Internationally recognised products

As an experienced freelance makeup artist and hair stylist, I use a variety of brands recognised in our industry including MAC, Bobbi Brown, L'Oreal, Chanel, Arbonne (vegan range) and Kevin Murphy. My new favourite addition to my kit is luxury lighting by TML to illuminate our workspace.

A willingness to travel

Whether you are getting married in the Bay of Islands, up a mountain in Queenstown, on a remote NZ beach or the golden sand of the Cook Islands, I'll arrange it so I can be there with you.

A desire to get it right for you

Although I specialise in soft, romantic and natural looks, my wide-ranging experience means I can create a lot of styles from on point beauty and make-up and intricate detailed hair work, to a soft bohemian look, or loose sexy beach waves with glowing dewy makeup to compliment the overall look. At the heart of it all is a desire to create a style that works perfectly with your chosen dress. I recommend that all brides have a pre-wedding trial to ensure you are truly comfortable with your hair and makeup before your wedding. My relaxed calm nature for really connecting with clients is what makes former clients think I'm one of the best wedding hair stylist in the Bay of Islands. I offer competitive prices and look forward to having a chat to you about your wedding plans.
