A pretty story...

The Pretty Parlour is a freelance hair and makeup team based in Perth, Sydney and Bali. 

We’re a group of warm and vivacious women who make you look and feel pretty on your special day.

How did we begin? Many moons ago Perth girls Brook Parker and Steph Hopa were working at Toni & Guy. They hit it off. Stars aligned and it all went from there.

A friend asked the stylish duo to look after hair and makeup for a wedding. 

The weekend couldn't have gone better. Brook and Steph nailed the looks, and they had a knack for making the wedding party have fun and feel at ease through the process.

The seed was planted. Maybe they could launch a business together?  Fast-forward eight years and we’re now a flock of 17! Can you believe it? 

We’ve been featured in almost every wedding magazine in Australia and have worked high fashion shoots we’re super proud of. The Pretty Parlour now travels the world creating looks reflective of the styles and vibes of our beautiful clients.

We keep up with trends and the latest hair and makeup techniques.  We’ll happily emulate any look you’re currently swooning over on Instagram or Pinterest, or create an original look just for you. 

We can’t wait to make you look and feel pretty!
