Mae You Be - Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist

Fantastic experience: Michelle was so incredible to work with throughout the the whole process for my wedding. The trial was amazing she completely nailed the look I was after and had no trouble replicating it (event better) on the day. Her communication was clear and helpful, and as I had a larger wedding party the stylists she arranged for the bridesmaids and mum's on the day were brilliant too. I highly recommend booking Michelle for your wedding.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Michelle enough! I had a few trials with other makeup artists but Michelle was by far my favourite... her work, professionalism, and warmth stood out. She made me feel absolutely beautiful and confident on my wedding day, and my makeup lasted flawlessly from the morning preparations right through to the end of the night. She made the whole getting ready experience fun and stress-free, and my bridal party and I all felt so comfortable and welcomed. I’ve received so many compliments, and I’ll happily recommend her to anyone looking for flawless bridal makeup. Thank you again for making my day so special!

Fantastic experience: Michelle did hair and make up for myself, my MOH and my mum on my wedding day. Her calm nature was such a welcome presence amongst the chaos and nervous energy of a wedding morning. I felt like I was in very safe hands! The hair and make up was beautiful and exactly what I wanted and lasted well into a night of dancing. I couldn't be happier that I chose Michelle for my special day.

Fantastic experience: I loved working with Michelle for my wedding makeup and hair. She has incredible makeup and hair skills, but also has a very calming presence. Having the one vendor do both makeup and hair also helped with consistency and less stress on a busy morning. Highly recommend Michelle!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a hair and make-up stylist that will make you look incredible on your wedding day, then look no further than Mae You Be! We had the pleasure of having Michelle and Sam style my and my bridesmaids’ hair and make-up and we couldn’t have been more happier with the results. Michelle and Sam were so professional and absolute magicians at what they do! They listened carefully to our preferences and used their technical and creative brilliance to bring our vision to another level while honouring our desire for a natural look. They also created a calming and warm environment that was both fun and relaxing as they worked with us which was much needed to calm the nerves of the big day. Thank you so much Michelle and Sam!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is truly incredible; so kind and truly wonderful. From the first trial all the way to my wedding day, she was such a calming and gentle presence. She totally understood what I wanted! My hair stayed perfect all day, and the makeup turned out even better than I imagined. Michelle was also super helpful in making sure my skin looked its best for the big day. She handled my eczema with ease and even did a little grooming for my husband to help him feel his best too. Thank you so much for making the morning of so special and making us feel so pampered!

Michelle was a calm and professional presence and made sure all our hair was perfect! Her attention to detail and great time management was fantastic. I could not recommend Michelle enough!!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found Michelle to do my hair and makeup for my wedding! I booked a trial and was thrilled with how it turned out. The look was natural and not caked on, which I loved. Michelle was lovely and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. On the day, I honestly could not believe how my hair and makeup looked even better than the trial. I did not think it was possible! I was a bit nervous and panicked with pre-wedding jitters, but Michelle’s calming presence made getting ready so much easier. She checked in with me and the bridal party to make sure we were all okay. We were ready on time, and when I got worried that guests might see me before walking down the aisle, Michelle immediately grabbed a blanket without hesitation to hold up to shield me as we walked to the car. My bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup too. Michelle made me feel absolutely beautiful the whole time, and I barely needed any touch-ups, just a little lippy touch up before the reception. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a talented and caring hair and makeup artist!

Fantastic experience: I booked Michelle for my wedding and I’m so glad I did! From the initial trial to her communication and the wedding day itself, she was so welcoming, kind, and professional.

Fantastic experience: Michelle did my hair and make up for our elopement at The Robertson Hotel a few weeks ago. She absolutely nailed my look with minimal direction. Thank you, Michelle - I’m extremely grateful for your expertise on our big day! I felt a million bucks.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was so wonderful to work with for my wedding, she made everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. From the trial, to the day of and all the communication in between Michelle was helpful, easy to contact and kind throughout. On my wedding day, she was so friendly and bought a real sense of calm and warmth. I am so impressed with her talent and ability to make everyone feel beautiful. Along with this, her knowledge and advice on my skin made all the difference to my makeup on the day. I would highly, highly recommend Michelle.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience with Michelle. She was excellent at communicating and was on time to the minute on my wedding day. Hair and makeup were stunning and exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Michelle from Mae You Be highly enough! Michelle did the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids and my mum for my wedding and we all just adored the final looks. Michelle absolutely nailed the different hair and makeup styles that we were after, and was able to tailor them to suit our individual looks and needs. She was warm and kind, and her calm demeanor and reassurance put my nerves at ease when dealing with a rainy wedding day. I truly couldn't have asked for a more professional and personable hair and makeup artist to help me get ready for my wedding day.

Fantastic experience: We booked Michelle for our winter wedding in the Southern Highlands and we couldn’t be happier! She did my hair/makeup as well as my mum’s and mother-in-law’s too. We had a lovely relaxed morning and Michelle’s calm demeanour definitely helped with that. We were all so thrilled with the end result and we felt very special. Michelle was so very lovely to deal with and she listened to what everyone was after and delivered. Don’t hesitate to book her for your special event - she is a phenomenal human.

Fantastic experience: Michelle and Yulia did an amazing job doing hair and makeup for myself, four bridesmaids, mother of the bride and grandmother of the bride. We were a diverse group with different skin tones and features but each bridesmaid had beautiful glowy makeup and elegant hairstyles! It was so helpful having a trial beforehand, Michelle was great at adjusting the makeup to suit my skin type and both hair and makeup held up beautifully! Both ladies were so easy going on the day and vibes felt calm and relaxed. Would absolutely recommend them!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was absolutely lovely, she did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I absolutely loved it. She was able to capture exactly what I wanted and made me feel confident and comfortable. Highly recommend Mae You Be Hair and makeup

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Michelle for being a part of my wedding day! From the very beginning, she was so professional and she listens to what I have in mind for my wedding. My hair and makeup on the day was what I have envisioned and I got so many compliments that I couldn't be any happier with the results. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a talented and reliable hair and makeup artist! :)

Fantastic experience: Massive THANK YOU to Michelle, you made the make up and hair process so easy and fun! Michelle was great to work with, so responsive, the trial was a really great way to work out what I wanted done so we were ready for the big day. Leading up to it I had a bit of a skin issue, Michelle was able to make suggestions and help me keep calm about it. On the day Michelle brought Yulia and Sam who were also fantastic, they were super calm and positive. Everyone looked absolutely stunning and were all extremely happy with how they looked (not easy as some never wear make up). Thank you so much for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on our big day.

Fantastic experience: Michelle and Sam were absolutely incredible to work with. They made our day run so smoothly and I could not be happier with our hair and make up. I didn't end up doing a trial as I didn't live locally, but regardless the team did a perfect job and I was so impressed. Both Michelle and Sam were wonderful, patient, and so friendly, and there was such a fantastic vibe to the day as soon as they arrived. Nothing was too much. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, as well as our bridesmaids, flower girls and mother of the bride, all because of Michelle and Sam. Thank you again!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was AMAZING! I didn’t do a trial and trusted her to create my vision. She carefully considered the facial structure of myself and my bridesmaids and completely nailed the brief. I loved how my hair and makeup looked in my photos. I got so many complements. Could not be happier. Thank you ☺️

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an incredibly talented and dedicated hair and makeup artist. Michelle exceeded my expectations, made my special day even more memorable and made myself and my bridesmaids feel amazing, with hair and makeup that lasted the whole day. Thankyou, Michelle, for your beautiful work!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is one of the kindest, warm, friendly, extremely experienced makeup therapists I have ever met. From the get go I felt at ease in her beautiful studio. Michelle was very generous with her time and I felt very well educated in my skin type, suitable make up and application of it. I had previously felt overwhelmed with the plethora of makeup options in Mecca and Sephora etc - but feel so much more confident being equipped with the knowledge Michelle has given me. There are no silly questions with Michelle - she is just so humble and genuinely cares for each person! She was well worth the visit!!!! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: I had the most wonderful experience with Michelle on my wedding day!! She was professional, kind and truly listened to what each of us wanted. We all felt so comfortable and confident, and I couldn't have asked for a better artist to take care of us and be a part of this special occasion.

Fantastic experience: Michelle (hairstylist) and Yulia (makeup) were the perfect team for our wedding! Both girls were extremely professional, fun and skilled and I couldn't imagine the day without them! They went above and beyond to make sure we were all looked after and looking beautiful, even helping to put on my veil which was longer than originally thought! The girls did such an amazing job looking after 7 of us, each with different hair styles and skin shades, couldn't fault both Michelle and Yulia and I'd recommend them to anyone who is in need of a hairstylist/makeup artist in the Southern Highlands!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is an all round beautiful human and extremely talented makeup and hair artist. From the moment we met I felt instantly calm in her presence. She was extremely easy to communicate with and I felt at ease throughout the whole process. On the day, Michelle and her team were professional, caring and organised. They made myself and my bridal party look and feel beautiful. Michelle even stayed that little bit longer to ensure that I felt 100% ready and nothing was out of place. I would have NO hesitations in recommending Michelle.

Fantastic experience: Michelle did my hair for my wedding, and also styled all of my bridesmaids and my mum. She was brilliant, everyone had stunningly perfect hair for the day and in addition she is lovely to work with- 10/10 recommend, would definitely seek out Michelle again any time I need to look special. She was also extremely organised and on time and reasonably priced. Outstanding!

Fantastic experience: Michelle did an incredible job with the hair & make-up of myself, my bridesmaids, my mother in law and aunt. She was so kind, positive and relaxed. She helped us stay on schedule, so much so, that we even finished early and had time to relax & drink a glass of champagne. She was open to our feedback and did a hair & make-up trial with me before our wedding. I couldn't recommend her more!

Fantastic experience: Michelle and Sam were truly a dream team in making me and my 4 bridesmaids and mother feel amazing on my wedding day. The products used felt amazing on, and everyone's look came together exactly we'd hoped. Michelle and Sam felt like an extended part of the girl gang all day, and I am so grateful for their auras of calm on such a big day. Thank you! I highly recommend Mae you Be.

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Michelle for her amazing work on my wedding day! She made me, my mum, and my sister look absolutely stunning. I felt like a goddess, and the overall look was exactly what I hoped for—gorgeous, fresh, and perfectly suited to the day. Shoutout also to Samantha for helping out Michelle with my mum’s and sister’s hairstyling. Michelle also did my hair and makeup for our pre-wedding shoot, and she was just as brilliant. Her calm and professional approach made everything so easy, and she really understood the look we wanted to achieve for both occasions. I also appreciated her helpful advice and the prep oil she provided, making my skin look even better before our wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist to be part of such special moments.

Fantastic experience: Michelle is such a kind and gentle soul. I did my wedding makeup with her and it was a really great experience and the outcome, stunning! I can say from the way she preps your face to the final outcome, each gentle to the touch. I am not a makeup person but Michelle is so professional and brilliant that she made it feel lightweight and look very smooth on the face. Not cakey at all. I did a soft glam look with lashes and she nailed it! I would go for her again if I have another major event in the Southern Highlands.

Fantastic experience: Was great to work with. Organised hair and make up for my mum and groomsmaid and they absolutely loved her work. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was wonderful, I couldn't be happier with how my hair and make up and the hair and make up of my bridal party turned out. Everything was perfect ! :)

Fantastic experience: Michelle Mae is an absolute gem and was a dream to have as our wedding makeup artist and hair stylist. From the moment she arrived, her warm and lovely demeanour made everyone feel at ease, and it was clear how important it is to have someone you truly connect with during those intimate and special hours of wedding prep. I was overjoyed with how my hair and makeup turned out. Michelle made me feel so beautiful, and the look was everything I had hoped for and more. Michelle, thank you for your incredible artistry and the joy you brought to our wedding day. We couldn’t recommend you more highly! If you’re looking for someone who will not only make you look stunning but also add a delightful energy to your special day, Michelle Mae is the perfect choice.

Fantastic experience: Michelle did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job getting us all ready on my wedding morning. We all felt so beautiful and confident and she was so easy to work with! We had such a blast with her, everyone’s hair and makeup lasted all night and looked amazing til the very end. I had so many compliments on my hair and how lovely it looked, and how well it stayed through all the dancing. The bridesmaids were absolutely stunning as well, I was so impressed.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Michelle enough for her beautiful work and lovely personality. She ensured my wedding morning went off without a hitch, and myself and my bridesmaids looked incredible. She’s professional, organised, and had such a calming presence which is needed on what can be a very stressful day! Thank you Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was amazing, thank you for being so calm and easy going on our wedding day. We loved your work!!

Fantastic experience: Having my make up trial and Wedding day make up done by Michelle was like hanging out with a beautiful friend. We decided to change things up on our wedding day so I got to see first hand Michelle’s artistic versatility in action. Michelle did absolutely wonderful makeup job for the bride, my maid of honour and the mother of the bride. Showcasing her makeup skills across different ages. She made us all feel so special and beautiful for my wedding. I cannot thank her enough and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks again, Michaella

Fantastic experience: Look no further - Michelle was incredible and lovely to work with for my wedding! We all felt incredibly beautiful and were so happy with her work! I would highly recommend her to others!!!!

Fantastic experience: 100000% recommend Michelle as a hair stylist and makeup artist. Michelle did the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding and she did the most amazing job. She was so flexible with me changing my hirstyle at the last minute and did the most amazing hair and makeup that stayed on all night. She also uses really good products that don't feel like you are wering tonnes of makeup. I have never felt so amazing in my life as when Michelle did my hair and makeup - cannot thank you enough Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was amazing! The morning of my wedding was so seamless and calming. She did beautiful makeup on me, my 4 bridesmaids and my mum. We were finished in the time she said ready for photos and everything went to smoothly. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was just wonderful. She is highly skilled and such a peaceful, kind soul. She and Sam made my wedding day perfect - my bridesmaids and I could not fault them. They also added to the fun of the occasion and it was sad to say goodbye when they were done! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: People say you never feel as beautiful as you do on your wedding day. Almost true, you'll never feel as beautiful as you do on a day Michelle does your makeup. Michelle did my makeup for my wedding and I looked and felt like an angel. She absolutely nailed the look and I have truely never felt more beautiful. Michelle is calm, kind and incredibly talented. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a make up artist.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was amazing! She took her time and care with my hair and ensured it looked perfect. I would work with Michelle a million times over.

Fantastic experience: Wholeheartedly recommend Michelle Mae - Mae You Be - as a hair stylist and make-up artist. We hired Mae You Be for our wedding hair and make-up, including Mothers of Bride/Groom as well as our celebrant and bridal party. We had an amazing experience, so calming and relaxing with lots of clear and helpful communication leading up to the event and even skin advice. Michelle even helped me pick the right facial to have at my local beauty salon. On the day, Michelle and her assistant Yulia did amazing jobs on everyone. They arrived on time and kept to their advised schedule, which was a huge relief to me as a nervous bride! Everyone was so happy with their hair and make-up, Michelle is so calming and lovely I felt so relaxed and confident with her work. My brief as the bride was a natural look with a touch of glam and for my hair I needed an updo that could handle both a hairpiece and a flower crown we used for the ceremony. My hair and make-up didn't need a single touch up all night, I was so happy! Thank you so much to both you, Michelle, and Yulia for doing such great work and being such lovely people!!

Fantastic experience: Before a wedding, it's easy to get caught up in everything that needs to be done and confirmed and paid for and agreed and remembered. Choosing hair and makeup experts can fall into the tricky category of research and logical price/location comparisons...but the right decision can actually change the course of the whole day for the better I was a bridesmaid in the Kangaroo Valley in May (pouring rain!) but the calm, focused and capable energy Michelle brought put the whole house of us at ease. We chatted, celebrated our surroundings in the soft green background, and it made Getting Ready an event all of its own. As she deftly dealt with a crazy array of different hair types, there was not a moment where time or direction was checked - she's a true professional who knows exactly what she's doing and does is SO beautifully. If you're looking for someone to add a gorgeous presence to your important day, it's her. You don't realise that what you can really do with on the morning of your wedding is chilled out contentment. ALSO I didn't take my hair out for THREE DAYS! Loved the style so much, she came up with mine on the hop but also had a few planned executions to deliver. Amazing

Fantastic experience: Michelle was incredible! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She arrived early and put me so at ease about the timing. She also did an incredible job and was lovely to chat to. Thank you Michelle!

Fantastic experience: It was an absolute delight to have Michelle as the hairstylist for my wedding recently. She is such a pro and worked with us so brilliantly in the morning to make sure we were all ready on time, and even hung around to give me final touch ups and help fit my veil. If you’re getting married in the Southern Highlands, I would highly recommend Michelle as your hairstylist.

Fantastic experience: Last month, Michelle, Yulia and Sam did an absolutely fantastic job glamming up my mum, mum-in-law, sister, sister-in-law and bridal party. From the get-go, Michelle was a dream to work with - from the initial intake, to the trial and on the day itself. She made me feel calm and at ease, and I have never felt more beautiful. I cannot recommend Michelle enough!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a hair and make up stylist for your wedding or special event, there’s no need to read any more reviews… just book Michelle. Michelle did the hair and make up for myself and my family for my wedding. I have exceptionally curly hair and Michelle knew exactly how to handle it. She is extremely talented and kind and knew exactly the right look for myself and my family members. Michelle is talented, but it’s nothing on the kind and wonderful person she is. At every stage of the process she was generous and kind with her time. She had a beautiful calming presence on the whole day and it was so special to meet her family during my hair trial. Michelle, lots of love and thanks for everything and if you have read this far do yourself a favour… hit that book button.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Michelle and her team who created such a stunning look for myself and bridesmaids. Michelle was a delight to work with and made it such a beautiful experience!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle from 'Mae You Be' worked wonders as the artist behind my wedding hair and makeup, and I can't express enough gratitude for her exceptional talent and calming presence on my special day. From our initial consultation to the final touch-ups, Michelle demonstrated a level of skill and professionalism that exceeded my expectations. During the trial session, Michelle took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and on the wedding day, she brought that vision to life flawlessly. Her attention to detail, creativity, and expertise in enhancing natural beauty were evident in every stroke of the makeup brush and every twist of the hairpin. What sets Michelle apart is not just her technical proficiency but also her ability to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The wedding day can be filled with nerves, but Michelle's calm demeanor and friendly personality put me at ease. She listened to my concerns, offered valuable suggestions, and ensured that the entire process was a stress-free and enjoyable experience. My hair and makeup stayed fresh and beautiful throughout the entire celebration, a testament to Michelle's use of quality products and meticulous application. The compliments from guests poured in, and many specifically mentioned how stunning and natural the hair and makeup looked. Choosing Michelle for my wedding beauty needs was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made. She played a pivotal role in making me feel radiant and confident on my big day. Thank you, Michelle, for your artistry, professionalism, and for contributing to the magic of my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend 'Mae You Be' to any bride seeking a talented and personable beauty artist for their special day.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to have Michelle as part of my hair and makeup team for my big day! My bridesmaids, Mum and MIL were all so happy with their hair and makeup and they all looked so beautiful. I was so in love with my bridal makeup it was exactly what I had imagined. My makeup survived for 12 hours, through tears and photos in the rain. Even more, Michelle had such a warm, kind and calming nature and made the whole experience so memorable for myself and my girls. Highly recommend to any future brides!

Fantastic experience: Michelle and her team did an absolutely stunning job for hair and make-up. Me and my bridemaids looked absolutely stunning on the day, cannot recommend enough. Thanks Michelle!! 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was incredible! She was very professional, gave us lots of tips for hair and make up and did an amazing job, even with little direction from me. She fit into our special day so perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Michelle and Sam form an outstanding duo. With a blend of professionalism and friendly service, they made the hair and makeup experience enjoyable and stress-free. I could not have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of outstanding service for their wedding.

Fantastic experience: Michelle is an absolute gem! She did my hair, 3 X bridesmaids and mothers on my wedding day and to say our hair was perfect would be an understatement. Michelle listened to exactly what we wanted and catered to each of our hair types and lengths. Not only that, but she is such a lovely person and brought such a warm, calming presence to the group. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, 5 stars simply doesn’t feel like enough. Thank you Michelle for everything!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is incredibly kind and attentive to detail. From trail to wedding day, she made the entire process seamless. Highly recommend working with Michelle.

Fantastic experience: Michelle did such a fantastic job of hair and makeup for me and my girls for my wedding day. She created exactly what I was picturing in my mind and tailored the makeup to everyone’s skin tone wonderfully. In the planning for the wedding, Michelle gave some excellent skincare tips that I will continue to use from now on! On the morning of the wedding, Michelle was super organised and brought a calm energy to the start of the day, which is exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. The makeup felt very light, almost not even there, lasting well into the night. The hair was the same, and despite not dropping or getting wispy the entire celebration, it was so easy to brush out - which was excellent late at night. Can’t imagine having had anyone else do such a fantastic job and helping start the day so well. Thanks Michelle!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Michelle to everyone! She did the hair and makeup for my wedding last month and made us all feel like the most beautiful women in the world. I went to my trial with a very vague idea of what I wanted, and she brought that idea to life and I couldn’t have been happier with the end result. Michelle was such a pleasure to be around on the morning of the wedding and her calm and professional way of working made it such a stress free experience.

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s professionalism, eye for detail and tasteful ideas really show through her work. Michelle made us feel very welcome and respected, she listened to our ideas and offered excellent suggestions. I would recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for a great hair and makeup artist in the southern highlands. Thank you again :)

Fantastic experience: Michelle was amazing for our recent wedding in the Southern Highlands. I was unable to have a hair or makeup trial due to lack of childcare but we had a long phone conversation about what my hopes for both hair and makeup were and on the day she absolutely nailed it. My hair even stayed put for two and a half days — I only dismantled it to finally wash it! If I were getting married again, I would have her do both my hair and makeup again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was absolutely amazing!! So helpful throughout the whole process, making me feel at total ease the whole time. I can’t thank her enough for how amazing my hair and makeup was for my special day, it was exactly what I asked for and she made me feel like a real life princess. I can’t recommend Michelle enough!!! Thank you for everything Michelle.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was by far amazing! She did my wedding hair on June 24th 2023 as well as my bridesmaids and she was so down to earth talking away keeping my nerves down. I ran out of time to do a trial for my hair which made me nervous, since I have long thick hair, but Michelle offered to call and talk it all through with me which helped me ease. Our hair was so beautifully done and the curls stayed in for the entire day/night! I would recommend Michelle for any event!

Fantastic experience: Dear Michelle, We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible job you did styling the hair of our bridal party on our wedding day. Your talent, creativity, and attention to detail brought our vision to life and made our entire bridal party look absolutely stunning. You showcased your expertise and professionalism every step of the way. The care and precision with which you styled each person's hair were truly remarkable. You paid meticulous attention to every strand and ensured that each person felt confident and beautiful. Your calming presence and friendly demeanour created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, which was particularly appreciated during the pre-wedding preparations. You skilfully managed the time and ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the moment without any stress or worry. Not only did you create beautiful hairstyles, but your expertise and knowledge of different hair types and textures were evident, and your ability to work with various lengths and styles was impressive. On the wedding day, when we saw our bridal party with their beautifully styled hair, we were amazed. Each person looked absolutely stunning and radiated confidence and joy. The hairstyles held up perfectly throughout the day and evening (and the wind during the ceremony), allowing everyone to feel their best and fully enjoy the celebration. Thank you, Michelle, for your incredible talent, professionalism, and dedication to making our bridal party look their best. Your exceptional skills brought our vision to life, and we are forever grateful for your contribution to our special day. With sincerest appreciation, Kazi & Conor - 23/06/23

Fantastic experience: Michelle did my wedding hair and makeup in April, and together with her colleague Sam, also did the hair and makeup of my Mum and two bridesmaids. I was over the moon with the whole experience and the final looks! When we met at the trial in February, Michelle recommended an oil cleanse and exfoliation to help with my congested skin. Come the wedding day, it worked! My skin was much clearer, so the foundation sat on top of it nicely. Michelle's warm and friendly nature and her calm professionalism made the morning of the wedding fun and relaxing. She is very experienced and incredibly skilled. I was so happy with my hair and makeup! I felt like the very best version of myself. My bridesmaids and Mum said the same and we all received compliments all day long. I am incredibly grateful to Michelle and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Michelle came in and did the makeup for my 7 bridesmaids, for both the mothers and myself. From my makeup trail with her, to the big day, she was also super friendly, but also professional. I never had to worry about her, I knew she had it all under control. Her assistant was also extremely lovely, and they were both very accommodating when I had a last minute person needing makeup done. The makeup was superb, and all the girls loved it. Would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone. She is wonderful, a great communicator and puts everyone at ease.

Fantastic experience: Michelle recently did our hair and makeup for a family wedding in Bowral and we had a fantastic experience. We were staying in a house of more than 15 people and she was a kind, calm presence amongst the chaos and did an amazing job on our hair and make-up! We had flower girls, mother of the groom and wedding guest in the mix and everyone felt so glam and really enjoyed the experience. I am so glad we booked Michelle and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and make-up artist!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is a gem! I contacted Michelle for the hair and makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and me. Given the size of our party and timeframe of the day, Michelle arranged for a make up artist and she focused on our hair. Michelle made the whole process so seamless. From the trial to the day, Michelle was organised, prompt to respond, so friendly, reliable and talented. I recommend Michelle to anyone who is getting married in the Southern Highlands or surrounds.

Fantastic experience: Michelle is an amazing make-up artist, we loved meeting her and getting our makeup done by her for a wedding! Would absolutely recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is super friendly and passionate about her work. She did my bridal party’s hair and makeup and we absolutely loved her work! She showed up nice and early and made us feel super comfortable on the day. Definitely deserves 5 stars and 100% would recommend Michelle!

Fantastic experience: We had Michelle do our hair and make up for my brother’s wedding. We instantly felt at ease with her. She was warm, sensitive to our needs and had a sense of humour to boot! Which was needed as the poor mother of the groom was unluckily bitten on the cheek by a bug and had an allergic reaction. Michelle handled this with great care and performed some kind of sorcery to expertly cover up the swollen and red area. Mum looked amazing! For myself, I loved my look. Michelle followed my inspo pics expertly, yet added her own flair. I felt so good that day. She certainly contributed to making the day very special. I would absolutely recommend Michelle for any special occasion or professional gig. Thank you Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle did hair/makeup for myself and our 3 teenage daughters recently. She did a beautiful job - we looked lovely if I do say so myself! BUT in addition to her being very talented .. she was also so incredibly low key/lovely/sweet/kind .. and it was so easy/relaxed/calm being around her. Clever and lovely

Fantastic experience: Michelle was such a wonderful hair and makeup artist for our wedding. She did my hair and makeup and makeup for my Mum, mother-in-law and sister. Each of us were able to ask for a tailored look that we loved, while Michelle made sure there was a common theme running throughout all the looks. We came home from overseas right before the wedding and Michelle only had photos to work from. But everything was perfect. She also happens to be a delight. We had a wonderfully relaxing start to our wedding day and I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle and her team did an amazing job doing my bridesmaids, mums' and I's make up for my big day back in 2018. I have her some ideas for what type of hair and make up I wanted and she nailed it on the head. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I booked Michelle for the make up for my Southern Highlands wedding in December and I'm so glad I did! Michelle always went above and beyond, and I was so happy with the looks she did on myself and my bridesmaids. She was also so lovely to spend the morning with. Thank you so much Michelle!

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for wedding makeup. She did a fantastic job for all 6 of us and was really lovely to work with.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was so lovely and easy to work it. She did my hair on my wedding day and did such beautiful work. Our hair lasted the entire day from 8 am til past midnight, through dancing, and running around. Not only that, I had 6 other bridesmaids who needed hair done, and she kindly offered to bring extra help so that we were all done (and looking absolutely glamorous) in time! I would highly recommend her; especially if you are getting married / need hair and make up in the Southern Highlands! Thank you again!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is such a warm and kind person to share your wedding day with. I would highly recommend her hair and makeup services. She completed this for my Mum, sister/Maid of Honour and myself, and we were in love with how beautiful it was! Thank you Michelle for making us feel so comfortable

Fantastic experience: Michelle did such a fab job of my bridal hair and make up and my bridesmaids too! She created such beautifully soft natural looks, we had tons of compliments and felt fabulous all day :) It was so nice having Michelle and Sam there the morning of the wedding, they are both so lovely and friendly. An added bonus was the nutrition recommendations in the lead up to the wedding. I highly recommend her. Thank you Michelle! xx

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for making my bridesmaids and I feel so pampered and beautiful on my wedding day, the look you created was everything I wanted and more. Having you there in the morning was like getting ready with an old friend. To anyone considering Mae You Be, I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Michelle was an absolute dream in the lead up to and on my wedding day! She had such a calm and fun presence and what she can do with hair is incredible - and that's coming from someone with difficult, wiry and frizzy hair. She transformed mine and my family's thick and difficult manes into the most beautiful hairstyles - all the while it seemed effortless for her and nothing was too difficult. She even stayed back ages after she had finished to help attach my veil, so generous of her. Everyone was commenting on our hair and it withstood the windy weather and all the dancing and partying. I highly recommend Michelle - she can whip up any hairstyle you've been dreaming of, she is an absolute professional, swift in communication throughout the whole process and a very lovely person - what more could you want on your wedding day! Thanks Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is an absolute gem. Utterly professional, extremely talented, collaborative, and genuinely one of the nicest people I have met. She was such an integral part of my wedding day preparation and made me feel at total ease. Michelle's calmness and many years of experience shone through on the day and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly in the bridal suite (especially by chasing after me while I attended to last minute details on our flower arrangements). She took my vision and turned it into reality - with striking effect (as each of us had our own signature look). She is not scared to think outside the box but is also the queen of gorgeous vintage curls and updo looks. I am looking forward to plenty of opportunities to book Michelle in the future and would definitely recommend her to all brides looking for a hair and make up maestro for their wedding day. Thank you so much Michelle xoxo
