Dear Vivianne,
Just a quick note to thank you very much for your energy and progesional help during our band shoot. You made my life (dealing with the “rock-starts”) so much easier, and the band as well as the two models were raving about your work after the shoot. I hope you had fun during our production as well. The results definitely look stunning, thanks also to your hair & makeup. I am looking forwards to working with you soon!
Kind Regards

Vivianne is a perfectionist. With an abundance of professional experience in special occasions, Vivianne not only created the perfect look for the bride but also the bridesmaids! Organised, friendly but most importantly an expert in hair, beauty and makeup, Vivianne is a confident artist with a true understanding of how to cater to your individual needs. I have always referred back to Vivianne for advice, and will definitely use her services again in the future.

Vivianne was a saviour on my wedding day!
I had a team of six hair and makeup stylists and none of them had the skills to do our hair and make up the way we asked. except Vivianne.. After 2 attempts at other stylists doing my hair unsuccessfully my mum took charge and told everyone else to leave but Vivianne and one other makeup artist. Although very rushed for time she fixed everyone’s hair and makeup and avoided disaster! I had a 4 bridesmaids myself and my mum to get done and she went above and beyond to make sure we all looked and felt fabulous! I can recommend Vivianne with out any hesitation whatsoever as I am indebted to her from avoiding major disaster on my special day.

“On behalf of myself and my bridesmaids I would like to say a big thank you for doing such a fantastic job on our hair and makeup for my wedding. From the beginning I felt comfortable with you and confident in your ability to make me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day. I looked as beautiful as I dreamed I would, thanks to your expertise. I received many compliments on my classic look and did not hesitate recommending you to those who asked. Once again thank you for your professionalism and going way beyond your call of duty.”
“ I would like to send my greatest thanks to the team at Simply Elegant for your fabulous make up art and hair styling for myself and my two bridesmaids. From the initial phone call all the way up to the wedding the service was absolutely wonderful. You all made us laugh and feel so comfortable from the whole time that you were there. Our hair and make up looked completely flawless and stayed that way from 9am until all hours of the night. All of the colours chosen were perfect and we all felt so comfortable and confident with ourselves. Everyone commented on how lovely we all looked and how our make up looked so elegant and natural!!! Thanks again and we will definitely be recommending you to all of our friends and family. Thanks”

Vivianne is very organised and professional. There were 5 of us bridesmaids and the bride, and she made sure she arrived on time (5am!) to make sure she had enough time to do everyone’s hair and make up. Very rare to find a great makeup artist in Brisbane who was willing to organise their time around your schedule and also stay around the whole day if needed for touchups or even change of makeup and hair for the evening. Very gentle and knows what she’s talking about. Will definitely be using her for my big day!

Vivianne is great. My wedding was in the middle of Brisbane’s winter and I needed mine(and 4 bridesmaids) hairstyled and make-up done by 8am and she did an awesome job.
Ann Kim Stewart
I chose Simply Elegant Beauty to be my hair and make up artist on my wedding day and I was very impressed with the work! Vivianne Tran was a lovely and professional hair and make up artist who knew what she was doing and did not stress over doing hair and make up for myself plus 5 bridesmaids. I’m glad I chose Vivianne Tran from Simply Elegant Beauty!
Linda Lee
Vivianne’s make up artistry is always perfect and flattering on all the women she’s worked with in Brisbane. Her superb hair styling techniques also make it convenient for the bride to have both hair and makeup done at once. Her work is beautifully captured in photography – reflecting her dedication to making every woman looking her best. Highly recommended artist!!
