Since we live out of town, I never had the chance to do a trial run. But after showing her a few inspiration photos the night before, she completely understood the vision and executed it flawlessly. Not only did everyone look incredible, she was so efficient and organized throughout the morning. She kept everything running perfectly on schedule without ever making anyone feel rushed. In fact, my mother-in-law was so impressed with everyone's makeup that Chyla was even able to squeeze her in for a service at the last minute, which she was thrilled about. Beyond her talent, Chyla was calm, warm, and such a positive presence to have around on the wedding morning. She made the entire experience feel easy and fun. I could not have been happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented wedding hair and makeup artist.

We did two trials and then she came on the morning of my wedding for me, 2 moms, and 1 sister.

A quick search led me to goldplaited and their male grooming package, which seemed exactly like what I needed. I was looking for something really subtle and natural--just a more polished version of myself--and they nailed it. They took the time to understand the look I was going for and didn't rush the process at all. They also checked in along the way to make sure everything felt right, which I appreciated. Nothing felt overdone, but it made a noticeable difference once I got in front of the camera. I felt a lot more confident going into the shoot, and the photos turned out better than I expected. Super professional, easy to work with, and you can tell they care about getting it right. Really glad I found them.

I used Pin Me Up for hair and makeup services on my wedding day (9/13/26), and overall, I had a…read morevery positive experience. Unfortunately, I can't recall the names of the two lovely artists who worked with us that day, but I personally was very happy with both my makeup and hair. They stayed very close to the inspiration images I shared, which was extremely important to me, and I felt confident and beautiful on such a special day. Our group had a mix of services, some bridesmaids booked makeup only, a couple booked hair only, and about three of us had both services done. To be completely honest, not everyone in the group loved their final look. A few of the girls weren't thrilled with their makeup, and a couple felt the same about their hair. That said, in the artists' defense, the bridesmaids didn't feel comfortable speaking up at the time, and instead made small adjustments themselves afterward. I don't believe this reflects a lack of skill, but rather the importance of clearly communicating preferences in the moment. Despite that, I would still recommend Pin Me Up. Their work is professional, polished, and their pricing can be considered on the higher side felt worth it to me for wedding-day services. One piece of advice: I would skip the $75 consultation call. It lasted under 15 minutes and mainly covered who would be present on the wedding day. I didn't find it particularly helpful and would suggest using that money toward something else instead. Overall, if you're clear about what you want and comfortable advocating for adjustments, Pin Me Up delivers quality wedding hair and makeup services and helped me feel great on one of the most important days of my life.

I had an appointment somewhere else but decided to go with Pin Me Up because they were able to come to the hotel and the cost was similar.

I knew I couldn't pull it off on my own so I'm so glad I decided to spend the money on myself because Lily made me look stunning! She was very friendly, outgoing and helpful. I didn't have a vision or ideas for what I wanted and she asked the right questions to get to a great look. My updo was especially exciting since my hair is long, thin and straight.

She has such a calming, joyful presence--and she not only made me feel so beautiful, but also so comfortable and confident. She even recommended products that I still use daily, a testament to how much she cares about her clients beyond just the wedding day. Kelly and her wonderful assistant, Nikki, took the time to talk with each of my eight bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandma to understand their preferences and styles. The result was makeup that felt true to each person while still looking cohesive and elegant. Best of all, everyone's makeup lasted perfectly--through laughter, tears, dancing, and everything in between--from the very first application at 9am until the last song at 12:30am. Kelly is not only a talented artist but also a gem of a person. Her warmth, kindness, and skill made her such an important part of our wedding day. I am so grateful we had her with us

Our wedding was almost 1 month ago, and I've been trying for weeks to find the appropriate words…read morethat convey the gratitude I have for Joanna (Joanna B. Artistry). Joanna is one of a kind, extremely personable and a true professional in the industry. Our original wedding date was set for 8/15/20 and getting engaged less than a year before, I was in a rush to lock in my team of vendors. I reached out to a friend who sent me multiple MUA suggestions, one being Joanna, as my friend was a bridesmaid in a recent wedding of hers. Joanna was available for my date and after chatting on the phone I quickly locked her in for myself plus 8 bridesmaids, my mom and future mother in law. We did my initial makeup trial in December 2020 and I was the bride that brought a few inspiration photos but didn't really give much direction to the look I was going for. Joanna was patient, confident and so skilled that she knew what look would complement my features/skin tone and went to work. She delivered A+ bridal glam while still having me look like my natural self, false lashes and all. She even updated my look right then after the trial by adding a red lip for my engagement shoot that afternoon, which was such a sweet and unexpected gesture. Fast forward to spring 2020, pandemic in full swing and a new wedding date of 6/26/21. Joanna stuck with me through all the many changes, didn't take advantage of the situation by adding contract addendum fees and even offered a Black Friday deal for rehearsal dinner glam for her brides. She stayed in touch, checked in and made me feel confident and excited for our new wedding date. Joanna also stayed on top of beauty and makeup trends while events were all cancelled or postponed during the spring. Her Instagram is my favorite as she shares honest opinions/reviews about both skin and makeup products. I also booked another make up session for round 2 engagement photos with Joanna that October and it's true talent when you can create multiple looks on the same person for different occasions. On the wedding day, Joanna brought an assistant with her (as planned) for our wedding day as we had 11 people total and her assistant was top of the line talent as well. My whole bridal party felt beautiful and our makeup lasted the entire night without even needing to touch up (although Joanna provides her brides with a generous touch up kit, just in case). It's also important to note that it was raining sideways and extremely humid, but looking at the bridal party, you'd never know judging by our long lasting glam. I highly recommend getting your makeup done for the rehearsal as well as I wish there was a recording of my reaction when Joanna showed me the "finished product" in the mirror. I was SO excited and after already having 2 trials, having one the day before the wedding made me confident that I would feel like my best self on the biggest day of my life and let me tell you, I did. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. I have also never seen my mom look so gorgeous and it made me happy that she was so happy! I call Joanna a wizard because she's casually chatting with you, so calm, focused and voila! hands you the mirror and it's truly a natural work of art. I'm already trying to think of reasons why I need my makeup professionally done to utilize Joanna again. I could not recommend anyone better and trust you are in GREAT hands with the loveliest of professionals, Joanna B. Artistry. Photos by @annkamphoto
