"An outstanding professional!

Samantha and Gianluca were an amazing team for my wedding! As an international bride I did not have the time to have a make-up or hair trial, but Samantha knew what I wanted and delivered on the first try. Her gentle and caring nature, passion for her work, and overall professionalism made me the most relaxed bride ever! My mothers, sister and I all looked amazing on the day - thanks to this amazing team! I would recommend her services a hundred times over. Grazie Samantha!!!"

"Dear Samantha, thank you so much for making me feel so comfortable during the whole process. You made me feel so relaxed and understand me straight away. Your professional skills are first class and I felt and looked beautiful. All my guests complimented me on my hair and make up all day and Mark loves the “sexy” glamorous look. The time with you will always be a special part of my day. Love"

"We got married in Italy at the beginning of July and I had the pleasure of having Samantha and her team as our hair and make up artists. Travelling from another country, I was apprehensive about choosing people to help us with our big day. I am so glad we came across Samantha who was highly recommended on facebook and wedding websites. She listened to exactly what I asked of her and I was thrilled with her work on the day. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for hair and make up. Thank you so much again!"

"Having chosen to get married abroad, finding a makeup artist was a bit of a challenge for me, however, I couldn't have been luckier to find Samantha online! Samantha and her colleague were absolutely fantastic! She is truly an expert and professional in her field and made me and my bridesmaids feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. I couldn't recommend her enough. Samantha was always very prompt at communicating with me and helpful in organizing a makeup trial in London prior to the big day as well as arriving early to set up everything. She helped to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment for all of us to get ready in and kept her timings down to a T. If there is ever another event that I need a makeup artist I would be sure to choose Samantha again and recommend her to any budding brides out there!"

"Samantha did the wedding makeup and hair for me, my sister and my mum for my destination wedding in Lake Garda in July 2018. When you meet Samantha it’s like chatting to a good friend, she makes you feel very relaxed and is very patient when trying new styles in order to get it right for your big day 😊 our hair and makeup 💄 was just amazing and it stayed put all day, even in Italian heat and after a boat trip! I cannot recommend her enough, a consummate professional, talented and all-round lovely girl 😊👍👍👍"

My bridesmaids and I were made to not only look but also feel like the most beautiful girls in the world all thanks to Samantha and co’s professionalism, kindness and genuine caring to ensure the i was happy and everything was perfect for that one special day! Nothing is too much trouble, they will go above and beyond to ensure you’re happy.

I can’t thank her enough! Xx"

"I wanted to take a moment and write to you to say how grateful I am that you spent the time with my daughter and I to understand what our needs and wants were for my wedding day. You made my daughter shine and you translated my vision for my hair and makeup perfectly. Your professionalism, skill and manner calmed my pre-ceremony nerves and made me feel at ease which allowed me to really enjoy the day. I felt like a Queen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"

"Samantha and Paula were absolutely fantastic, they were professional but fun and made my wedding morning so happy!! Most importantly, the hair and make up they did for myself, my bridesmaids and my Mum was beautiful, flawless and lasted all day even in the heat and sunshine! Even though we arrived in Italy too late for a trial, this didn’t matter at all as Samantha had some perfect ideas for us and even arrived early so we had the most time possible with no rushing, it was very relaxed! The level of skill and quality of make up used was amazing and Samantha even did a special face mask treatment for me before starting my make up! I would highly recommend Samantha and her team for any brides big day, they are fabulous! Thank you for making my special day the best of my life and making us all feel so glamorous!!"

"Makeup is such an important part of the bride’s prep and for her big day, you want to be relaxed when getting ready and safe in the knowledge that your makeup is in the hands of a total professional... Samantha definitely delivered on every level and the end result was flawless exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Samantha to future brides! Thanks Samantha for your great work on my big day. Grazie Mille! Annemarie from Dublin, Ireland."

"Samantha was a pure pleasure to work with! Not only was she super responsive to email and easy to communicate with leading up to my friends wedding but the day of she had the best energy! I have a picky group of friends and we all loved our hair and makeup!!! I wish she could do my hair and makeup all the time!"

"I could not say more wonderful things about Samantha and Annalisa! I booked Samantha to help myself and my bridesmaids and mother prepare for my wedding this past Saturday. We started with Samantha and I meeting for a trial for the big day and from our first communication to our first meeting to the wedding day, I felt comfortable and excited to work with Samantha for so many reasons. We talked about many different things during the trial including what look I was trying to achieve, what style matched the wedding, and what would make me comfortable. Samantha was flexible and excited to try different things. She worked with me to develop options for my look and when it came to the wedding day, she made me feel beautiful and comfortable!! In the past, I have worked with other hair and makeup professionals who have either not listened or who have tried to change my mind but Samantha listened to exactly what I wanted. I had many compliments on my hair and makeup and it was perfect! In addition to the way I felt, each of my bridesmaids also loved their look (including those who had bad experiences in the past). Most important to me was that my mom LOVED her hair. Originally, she hesitated to have her hair done because at my sister’s wedding she hated her hair but Samantha made my mom feel beautiful too. Annalisa was there to do the hair of my bridesmaids and all of them were so impressed with how well she executed what they were looking for. I can not recommend Samantha and her team more for all of your hair and makeup needs!

Samantha- next time I need hair and makeup, you will be the first person I call and will recommend your services to everyone that I know! Thank you SO much for everything and for helping to make my wedding the BEST day of my life! Grazie Mille!!"

"I can highly recommend Samantha Pretto, she is so talented and professional. She understood exactly what I was looking for on my special day and she brought out the best in me. She also did hairstyles for my 3 bridesmaids and my maid of honor and they were all very satisfied! Thank you so much for making my wedding day 9th of September 2016 in beautiful Torri del Benaco in Italy so special. You made me relax on a stressful day and both makeup and hair was done perfectly! I wish you all the best."
