Meet Amanda
Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist Since 2007
I’m Amanda Frost, and I’ve been creating bridal hair and makeup looks for brides across the Hunter Valley and Newcastle since 2007 - a hairdresser turned makeup artist who has spent the last 18 years helping brides in Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and the Central Coast look and feel extraordinary on their wedding day.
I’ve been a hairstylist for 24 years and a makeup artist for 18, and in 2007 I decided to stop splitting my focus and build something of my own. Bellus was born from a simple idea: one artist, both services, coming directly to you. Leaving the salon meant freedom - the freedom to work entirely within the bridal world, to travel to the venues I love, and to give every bride the kind of unhurried, undivided attention that a busy salon floor simply can’t offer.
My signature is glowing, natural skin and effortless hair that photographs beautifully and stays perfect from morning prep to the last dance. I come to you, no salon visits, no rushing across town on your wedding morning.
For four consecutive years I’ve been named a Wedding Diaries Editor’s Choice Award winner across four regions - Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and the Central Coast. It’s an honour that reflects every bride who trusted me with their day.
My Philosophy
Natural Beauty Enhanced, Not Masked
I believe every bride is already beautiful. My job is to enhance what’s naturally there, not transform you into someone you don’t recognise in the mirror. On your wedding morning I want you to look in the mirror and see the best version of yourself. Glowing skin, effortless hair, makeup that feels like you. That’s what I work towards with every single bride.
Where I Work
Serving Brides Across Four Regions
I work across four beautiful regions - Newcastle, the Hunter Valley vineyards, the coastal shores of Port Stephens and the beaches of the Central Coast, bringing bridal hair and makeup directly to wherever your wedding day begins, and whether your hair is fine or thick, curly or straight, your skin dry or oily, I’ve worked with every type and texture, your look is absolutely my style

★★★★★
The team at bellus made me feel like a star on my wedding day. I asked for a hair and makeup package and boy did they deliver. No request of mine was a hassle. My hair and makeup was on point and exactly how I wanted it. The service I received made me want to become a ongoing customer for routine hair colours and cuts. Would never look back, thanks bellus!
