Jovanka Arpino Hair and Makeup Artistry

Jo is one of the most kind and positive persons you can meet! But also professional at what she is doing. I had my hair and makeup done for a wedding. The result was a smooth and natural appearance, exactly what i needed . The products felt light on the skin and both makeup and hairstyle lasted for the entire day! I couldn’t thank Jo enough for her services. 100% recommended!

I genuinely don’t think I can put into words just how wonderful Jo is. I booked her around six months in advance, and from the moment I secured my date right through to the wedding morning, she was incredible. I sent her my original ideas… then completely changed my mind (because, of course, I did 😹). Not once was it an issue, she was nothing but supportive and reassuring throughout. On the day itself, Jo was amazing. One piece of advice though… make sure you’ve got plenty of space because she arrives prepared for absolutely every scenario imaginable! I genuinely thought she was moving in for the weekend. 😹 Before she started, she talked me through the plan, and every step of the way she explained what she was doing and why. It made me feel completely at ease. Then came the final reveal… and honestly, I could have cried happy tears. I was absolutely blown away. Jo isn’t just a makeup/hair artist: she’s a true artist. She made me feel like the very best version of myself. The compliments came all day long, and everyone commented on how amazing how my hair and makeup looked. In case it wasn’t already obvious… I cannot recommend Jo highly enough 💜

Jo is such a beautiful person inside and out. I felt very blessed our paths crossed for her to do the make up at my wedding. All the bridsmaids looked phenomenal and were ready on time. She listened to everyone's needs and made sure they were all happy with the finished looked. Jo is also a very calm person which is exactly what you need on the morning of weddings.

I recently booked Jo to do my daughter’s hair and makeup for her prom. I went to Jo with the ideas that my daughter gave me (hair down, simple make up) for my daughter to change her mind for hair up. Jo was very accommodating to her needs. On the day Jo turned up in plenty of time with all the necessary kit (and some 😊) and turned my daughter into the belle of the ball. Jo went through each step with my daughter for both hair and makeup to do exactly what my daughter wanted. Her make up was exquisite and really bought out her features, and the hair was simply beautiful. Jo is super lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone. Thank you Jo for helping to make her prom day so special.

Jo was brilliant from the day we booked her! Her professionalism and perfection was more then we expected! She is kind, friendly and amazing at her job! We would 10000000% recommend to anyone . Thank you for playing a part in making our day so perfect.

Jo did an amazing job at my mums vow renewal. We all felt well looked after, listened to and relaxed during the morning. We felt amazing and had lots of compliments. Thanks Jo!

Jovanka agreed to a very short notice booking for a wedding guest hair & make up (which I am extremely grateful for). She did an absolutely amazing job and was a lot of fun we clicked instantly! I I got my hair and make up done beautifully and a great conversation on top of it! 🙂 Thanks again Jo! x
