Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist in Cape Town
Your wedding day deserves to feel effortless, calm and beautifully you.
I’m Iza — a professional bridal hair and makeup artist based in Cape Town with over 12 years of experience. I specialise in refined, natural bridal beauty for modern brides who want to look like the most elegant version of themselves — never overdone, never unrecognisable.
I work with modern brides across Cape Town and the Winelands who value understated elegance and natural beauty.
If you love healthy, glowing skin, soft romantic hairstyles and timeless beauty that will still look incredible in 20 years, you are in the right place.
What “Natural Bridal Makeup” Really Means
Natural does not mean plain.
Natural means polished. Intentional. Elevated.
It means:
• Effortless hair. Radiant, natural skin. Timeless beauty.
• Makeup that enhances rather than masks
• Soft, seamless blending
• Hair that feels effortless but lasts all day
• Compliments about how beautiful you look — not about your makeup
If your fiancé loves you exactly as you are, your bridal look should reflect that. My goal is always for you to feel confident, radiant and completely yourself.
Your Bridal Morning Experience
Wedding mornings can feel overwhelming. Over the past 12 years, I’ve experienced every type of bridal room imaginable — from calm countryside wine farms to bustling city hotels.
During your trial, we take our time. We refine. We adjust. We laugh. You leave knowing exactly what to expect.
On your wedding day, I become the calm in the room.
I can take full control of the timeline or blend quietly into the background — whatever you need. My focus is always the same: ensuring you feel relaxed, confident and absolutely beautiful before walking down the aisle.

Posted on Alexa BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza is brilliant! She's is part of my core happy memories on our wedding day. She's such a pleasure to work with! She's happy, positive, calm and genuinely concerned for her clients desires. There was no stress at all on the day, she made me feel very comfortable all the way through. I loved what she did for me, my Mom and my bridesmaids. If I had professional MUAH done every day, I'd choose Iza every time!Posted on Claire GloverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza is your hair and make-up DREAM! From the moment I met her, she was warm, welcoming and made me feel utterly confident and beautiful. She managed to capture the Hollywood yet natural look I was going for to the tee - and made it even better! On the day, she was nothing but supportive, encouraging, and buoyed me up through any stress and nerves I experienced. If you're looking for a true partner-in-crime for your girls bridal morning, you have just found her!Posted on Meghan GilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza was amazing at both Hair and Make up on my Wedding Day. She did hair & make up for my bridesmaids, my Mom & me and we were all beyond happy with what she achieved :) I am not someone who wears make-up but she made me feel comfortable and extremely happy with my look.Posted on kerilyn benhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza was amazing - she was so helpful from start to finish and, on the wedding day, she had a wonderful calming and fun presence! I loved my makeup and so did all our friends and family.Posted on Gerrit CoetzeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10!! Iza was the perfect and most amazing hair and make-up artist on my wedding day! I cannot stress it more how highly I recommend Iza for your perfect day! Communication was super easy and Iza always replied in a timely manner, when my plans changed she jumped through hoops to accomodate me and my bridal party with their different arrival times on the morning of the wedding. The morning of the wedding she and her staff took care of me and my bridal party, she created a calm and fun experience and she even walked the extra mile to do my flower girl’s hair and make- up. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!Posted on Leoni van der BergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza recently did my hair and make-up for my 10 Year Anniversary photoshoot. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. I am not a person who is wearing make-up that often and whenever I need to get my make-up done professionally, my eyes always get teary. But with Iza it wasn't the case. She definitely knows how to put on make-up without getting teary-eyed. I even opt in for a false lash! She is a wonderful hair stylist as well! I wish I had her on my wedding day. I have fine hair and she knew exactly how to handle my hair and to make it look fuller with the messy bun upstyle. She is talented and the best at what she does. She is highly organised, kind and professional. She is flexible with her time, as we had to do the shoot on a Sunday. Thank you for sacrificing your Sunday to make me look amazing for my shoot. P.S. Her husband, Riekert Cloete, is an amazing photographer and did our 10 Year Anniversary photoshoot. What a phenomenal power duo!Posted on Candy KandanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iza is an absolute magician with makeup. She is so kind and beautiful inside and out and her magic fingers made me feel like a queen on my special day. Thank you Iza for gracing us with your presence and for making us look and feel like celebrities. You are amazing!!!
