Meet the artist
behind HONEY.

Hannah Hocking is a qualified hairstylist and makeup artist whose work is incredibly seamless, empowering and personalised.

Hannah Hocking

A bridal specialist, first and always.

Hannah trained across both hair and makeup so brides could book one artist for the whole morning, and know that every detail — from the first pin to the final gloss — is part of a single, considered look.

With over 15 years of experience in the industry, her style is soft, skin-first and modern romantic. Hair that moves, makeup that photographs beautifully, and a chair that feels calm from the moment you sit down. Hannah is easy-going, flexible, friendly and supportive. She'll make you feel like you've known her forever, and is the ultimate hype woman. Hannah travels throughout Victoria for weddings, and offers trials from her studio HONEY in Croydon.

Kind Words

From Hannah's brides.

"Hannah is such an excellent communicator — from our first chat right through to the wedding morning she made me feel calm and looked after. My makeup stayed on perfectly for 15 hours."

Emily M.

"She is so bubbly and approachable. I felt like a friend was doing my hair and makeup — and I have never felt more myself on a special day."

Aislinn O.

"Beautiful, soft, romantic bridal look. My bridesmaids and I could not stop looking in the mirror."

Chloe R.

"The trial was so much fun and the day was flawless. Highly recommend Hannah to any bride."

Working Alongside Hannah

Heather — senior makeup artist

Heather — Senior Makeup Artist and Hairstylist.

Heather is the only member of the studio who works directly for Hannah. When Hannah is booked or a wedding needs a second artist with similar taste, Heather is the trusted second pair of hands, with over 6 years of experience. Heather is warm, bubbly, and guaranteed to make you smile when you're in her chair.

Her style is polished, skin-forward, and personalised to each individual — a natural complement to Hannah's aesthetic. Together they create makeup looks with the same feel across every face.
