About
Amelia Carmela
Award Winning Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist
Based in the South West and working throughout Swindon, Wiltshire, The Cotswolds, Bristol and Bath, I specialise in wedding hair and makeup that enhances your favourite features and celebrates your natural beauty.
Professionally trained and incredibly passionate about my craft, I’ve worked with countless brides, using my knowledge and expertise to ensure they look and feel their absolute best.
With votes cast by my own clients and judging performed by top industry professionals, I’m proud to have been named Best Wedding Hairstylist in the South West at The Wedding Industry Awards 2020. In 2023, I was highly commended in the same category.
Every look I create is completely bespoke and tailored to the individual, but soft, relaxed bridal hairstyles and makeup that enhances your natural beauty are my signature. Think glowing skin, subtle romantic tones, and hair that looks polished and elegant, but never stiff or fussy.
My Approach
I take a great deal of pride in my work, and I care deeply about how my clients feel before, during and after spending time with me on their wedding day.
I understand the power of hair and makeup, and I know just how transformative they can be. Not only on the outside, but on the inside, too. Whether your usual beauty routine is super minimal or full-on full glam, everyone holds their head a little higher when they feel like the best version of themselves. That’s what I’m here to ensure you achieve on your wedding day.
After an initial consultation and trial, I’ll create a bridal hair and makeup look that perfectly complements your dress and all the little details you’ve devoted so much time and attention to.
My kit is stocked with high-end, professional products, so you can be confident your hair and makeup will last long into the night. I use a wide range of haircare, skincare and makeup brands, but I favour those that are cruelty-free. If you have a similar preference, let me know when you enquire.
As well as perfecting your hair and makeup, I’ll make sure the morning of your wedding unfolds in a calm yet fun fashion. My mission is to leave you feeling beautiful, confident and comfortable in your skin.
I’m a Hair Stylist Too!
I started my career working in salons nearly 20 years ago. It’s where my passion for hair began. Now based at Boufs Hair and Beauty Salon in Swindon, I offer an extensive range of cutting and colouring services
With masses of experience and numerous professional qualifications, you can trust me to provide expert advice, creative ideas and the very best care for your hair. I’m passionate about enhancing your natural hair colour, low maintenance balayage, and creating beautiful lived-in shades of blonde. Whether you want a quick trim or a complete restyle, you’ll always receive the same attentive, personal service.
I welcome vegan and vegetarian clients, and I’m proud to use cruelty-free hair colour, shampoos, conditioners and styling products.
More About Me
I live in Swindon with my son, Frankie, and our cat, Arthur Purrison. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me hanging out with them. We love to travel, so I’m often looking forward to our next trip or busy planning another adventure. Aside from hair and beauty, I also love a good workout, but my biggest passion is spending time with friends and family over delicious food and great wine. Or a large G&T, I’m not fussy!
