About
Allow me to introduce myself!
My name is Natalie and I am the founder of Poised.
Poised was born in 2020 when I discovered my passion for weddings and hairstyling.
I have been qualified as a hair and makeup artist since 2017, having completed a short course with DFMA, before continuing my education for another 3 years and achieving a 1st Class BA Hons Degree in Makeup and Hair for Theatre and Media. My passion for this industry began at the age of 8 with makeup, specifically doing makeup for dance competitions and shows, but over the years and through my training I discovered my HUGE love for hairstyling too, and now focus on both equally.
The idea behind Poised is to add a professional and personal touch. Your wedding day is a magical one and it is important to be surrounded by people who feel friendly and familiar. Through our consultation period, your trial and moving into your special day, we will get to know each other so you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible, making your wedding day feel smooth and easy.
My biggest enjoyment is making someone feel amazing about themselves through the means of hair and makeup, and the magic of that feeling on the morning of a wedding is unparalleled. I am truly there for you and your bridal party on your wedding day and will go above and beyond to make you feel like the best version of yourself - even if that means taking on a couple of non-hair and makeup duties! (I'll stay for the entire day if you would like me to).
The Hair and Makeup industry is a vast one, and I love doing all sorts of jobs, including photoshoots, editorials, short films, wig making and more. Though bridal is what I really love to do!
I'm always striving to be the best I can be and love learning new things, and am always undertaking further training and keeping up to date with the latest trends. I have recently completed Management and Health and Safety qualifications in order to develop my overall business knowledge and skills.
