Roxy D'Souza is a makeup artist and hair stylist working across Dartford and the DA1 postcode. She travels to you with everything she needs, and she covers hair as well as makeup, so a bridal party needs one supplier rather than two.
Dartford is one of the easier places she works. It is about fifteen minutes by road from her studio in Thamesmead along the A206, and there is a direct train from Abbey Wood if you would rather come to her. Early bridal starts are straightforward either way.
More than fifteen years in the chair and more than five hundred clients.
The Manor Gatehouse on the High Street is the Dartford register office and a licensed ceremony venue, which makes it the start of a great many Dartford weddings. Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa at Wilmington is the one most couples name when they want a country hotel with rooms and a spa, and Birchwood Park Golf Club is a short drive from it. The DoubleTree by Hilton at Dartford Bridge covers parties who want somewhere straightforward near the crossing.
If your ceremony is at the Manor Gatehouse and the reception is elsewhere, the morning is tighter than it looks. Roxy works to the leaving time, not the ceremony time.
Trials run six to eight weeks before the date, and you leave with a written note of everything used.
