A Bit About Me
A warm welcome to my website & hello from me!
I am the owner of Sophie Bancroft Hair & Make-Up Designs & I am delighted to meet you, thanks for popping by!
I am a professionally trained Hair & Make-Up Artist based in London & I cover the Home Counties & Hertfordshire.
My background is in Beauty Therapy but I always had a longing to do hair & make-up & in 2007 I completed the Advanced Studies in Hair & Make-Up at the prestigious Delamar Academy, Ealing Studios. Having covered the basics of hair I was keen to expand my knowledge further & a few years later I completed an NVQ Level 3 in Hairdressing.
I am an accomplished Bridal Artist & know how to run a wedding morning like clockwork, be assured you will be in safe hands! I have worked on destination weddings & small to large scale weddings in the UK. I have had my bridal work featured in publications; Brides Magazine, Wedding Ideas Magazine, Natural Wedding Company & Rock My Wedding Directory to name a few!
My previous roles include working in retail management for Estee Lauder & Aveda. Working for global brands helped me better understand my client’s needs & increased my product knowledge which I have used to tailor my kit so I only stock the best! I take a collaborative approach with my clients & believe beauty should look effortless.
I like to keep up-to-date with emerging industry trends, you can often find me posting about the red carpet looks on the gram! I love a bouncy blow-dry & glowy Charlotte Tilbury skin finish & I always aim to elevate my clients look in a natural way so they radiate with confidence!
If I am not doing a wedding I am working on advertising campaigns, fashion shows or at award ceremonies. Most recently I have had the pleasure of working at the BAFTAs, backstage at the Chanel Metieres D’Art Show, The D&G Love Tour, at exclusive events at Annabel’s Private Members Club & on the Spring/Summer campaign for Kurt Geiger.
I have worked with high profile clients Katherine Jenkins, Holly Willoughby, Patsy Kensit & Priya Gopaldas.
After the pandemic I went fully freelance & have formed a small dedicated team of professionals that I call upon to assist me on medium to large weddings. It was important to me to find a team who had exceptional skills & attention to detail, were reliable & listened to my clients wishes & realistic with my client about what is achievable. I have a great team who I rely on afterall your big day is one of the most incredible days of your life!
I am available for weddings of all sizes, both locally & internationally & really looking forward to receiving your enquiry!
