Working areas
Weddings in Andalusia
By car to anywhere in Andalusia
- Up to 1 h 30
- 1 h 30 to 2 h 30
- More than 2 h 30
Approximate driving times from Fuengirola, without traffic.
I am based in Fuengirola, and from there I drive to any part of Andalusia. I have prepared brides in Cádiz, Seville, Granada, Córdoba and Almería, and I always come to wherever you get ready: your home, the hotel or the venue. What changes from one wedding to the next is the drive to that place: it decides whether I go there and back on the day or whether it is worth staying nearby the night before.
| Time by car | Travel |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 h 30 | On the day, at any time |
| 1 h 30 to 2 h 30 | A night nearby is weighed, depending on the wedding time and the budget |
| More than 2 h 30 | The night before |
Weddings outside Andalusia
By plane, with all the kit
I also travel to weddings outside Andalusia. For the two brides at Sa Pedrissa in Deià, I flew from Málaga with all my kit and did both brides’ hair at the villa where they got ready. The kit travels as checked luggage so it arrives protected, and the flight, accommodation and meals are in the quote. There is no distance limit: tell me where and when your wedding is, and I will explain how the journey is arranged.
Career
A background in art, personal image and design
I studied art at secondary school and went on to an advanced diploma in styling and personal image. My first years in the trade were spent in large salons in Puerto Banús and Marbella, on the Costa del Sol. Later I opened my own salon, leading a team, and during those years I specialised in colour analysis and face-shape analysis. Some years on, I stepped away from the trade for a while to study interior design, and came back seeing the work differently:
-
Styling and personal image
An advanced diploma, taken after studying art at secondary school.
-
Colour and face-shape analysis
Choosing the tones that flatter each skin and each head of hair, and reading the shape of a face to decide where volume belongs and where the light should fall.
-
Interior design
Composing a space trains the eye to see the whole: proportion, colour and light.
Today I don’t think about a makeup look or a hairstyle on its own, but about how it sits with the dress, the venue, the light and everyone around the bride.
Work philosophy
Real skin has texture and a real updo moves.
I work with the face in front of me. I prepare the skin, I bring the light to the eyes and I choose a shape that holds, so that the thing she called a flaw stops sitting at the centre without anyone having to erase it. Real skin has texture and a real updo moves, and on the Costa del Sol there is heat, humidity and sea wind from the ceremony to the last dance. Neither of those is a fault in the day.
So a large part of my work happens before I open a single product, and it is not technical: listening and empathy are at the heart of how I build a look. Each proposal grows from there, from who she is, the dress she has chosen, the ceremony and the real conditions of the day. That is the moment when the woman in front of me stops measuring herself against something that does not exist and starts truly seeing herself.
Work philosophyServices

Wedding in DeiàFrequently asked questions about wedding hair and makeup
What does the wedding hair and makeup package include?
The service includes the trial and advice throughout the year, right up to the wedding day. For makeup, it also includes a touch-up kit in the shades chosen at the trial, handed to you on the wedding day: your lip colour, blush, setting powder, blotting papers, a mirror and a small pouch to take your makeup off at the end of the night.
Which areas of Andalusia do you travel to for weddings?
Weddings are covered throughout Andalusia, from a base in Fuengirola. Up to an hour and a half by car, travel is done on the day; between an hour and a half and two and a half hours, a night in the area is weighed, and further away it is always part of the plan, included in the quote.
Can you do hair and makeup for my mum and the bridal party?
The service can include the people closest to you. The most common arrangement is you plus two companions: usually your mother or the person closest to you, and often a sister or your best friend as well.
How much does wedding hair and makeup cost in Spain?
There is no single price, because every wedding has its own quote. The bridal rate includes the trial, the makeup touch-up kit and online advice. Depending on the wedding, it is joined by the people getting ready besides the bride, the travel fee, accommodation and meals when the wedding is far away, and a small surcharge for a very early start. Every price is in the dossier, which you receive when you ask about your date, through the contact form or any other channel, along with answers to all your questions.
