Jenifer was everything I could have possibly asked for in a hair and makeup artist. For both my wedding and engagement photos I wanted to look like myself, but more glammed up and in makeup that would photograph well and she delivered this perfectly. I described what I wanted, showed her a few inspo pictures and she adapted it perfectly so that I looked like my best possible self. She also did makeup for my bridal party and my mother, creating five very different looks of varying intensity that fit each lady perfectly. Some sat down knowing exactly what they wanted with photos, and some just asked her to use her best judgement to make them look good. All of us looked amazing both in person and in photos all night. Her choice in hair stylist she brought along to assist on the day of also did a wonderful job on everyone, including putting my clip in extensions in so that they stayed put all night. Definitely recommend her! read more

Hair and makeup was very important to me. I love to glam up when possible and a majority of my bridesmaids are the same way. Therefore when I started looking for someone to do the hair and makeup for a big group of ladies (13 total) I was looking for someone really good. Jenifer and her team were great to work with. She isn't inexpensive but she delivers on her word of making you feel and look amazing. I can honestly say I never stressed out about how I would look in my wedding day because I fully trusted her and her teams expertise. Having bridesmaids with a wide range of hair colors, hair types, skin types, and skin tones was no problem for her and her team. My ladies showed up with pictures of what they were thinking and they all loved how they looked. Thank you Jenifer and your team for making us all feel like movie stars! read more

Every lady wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day. In fact, it's our once in a lifetime chance to feel like a supermodel. My personal wish is for my fiancé to have his breath taken away when he sees me coming down the aisle. So, everything has to be Perfect on my day (hence why bridezilla often emerges for some gals). Perfect dress, shoes, jewelry, nails, and of course, stunningly perfect hair and make-up. Well, I had found the perfect dress and accessories to go with it, but who would I trust to do my make-up?! I had to look no further than Midtown to find Jenifer because of Yelp and the rave reviews of her services. My Mom and I instantly fell in love with Jenifer when we met her. She's beautiful not just on the outside, but also on the inside! Her studio is adorable and stocked with every hair and make-up product you can imagine. She comes fully equipped! I told her my wishes and she made my dreams come true! I'm getting married in Hawaii, so one of my huge problems is going to be salvaging the look in the heat. I'm so scared that my face is literally going to melt off and my hair is going to frizz out - not exactly the picture of a lovely bride. I might even scare my fiancé off! Thankfully, Jenifer had some tricks up her sleeve so I can save face on my special day! She told me how to stop sweat on my face using a special product that can only be purchased in SF. And, we both agreed that an updo was necessary for my hair, but I always hate updos on me. Well, Jenifer was able to give me a breathtaking updo that was exactly what I was hoping for. Jenifer also helped me through my other major dilemma: destination wedding means never meeting the person who's actually going to do my hair and make-up for the Big Day. You bet that's stressing me out! So, my genius Mom thought of having a trial locally and taking heaps of pictures. Then, pray that this destination person can pull off the look. Jenifer made sure that I would have all the tools she used to make me beautiful, so that I can bring them with me to Hawaii. She even gave me the special glue she uses for false eyelashes! Jenifer is incredibly helpful, fast, affordable, and a master creator of beautiful brides. Ladies, definitely set up a trial with her so that your special day can be the least stressful as possible. Plus, Jenifer helps in keeping that inner bridezilla beast contained! read more

Jenifer is INCREDIBLE. She was recommended by a Vizcaya wedding coordinator and I will be eternally grateful I took that recommendation. We met 1x before my wedding in August and she managed to understand and create what I wanted/needed for my wedding after only a brief meeting. I wanted to look and feel natural but the makeup also needed to be visible in photos - a tricky balance she pulled off effortlessly. She also did my bridesmaids - I was shocked at how well everyone looked. I intend to book her again if she's available!! Lastly, my hair dresser was not working out and Jenifer brought in a woman last minute to do my hair - Nicole was amazing - I could cry at how absolutely beautiful and unique she did my hair. Thank GOD for Jenifer!!!!!! read more

How do I LOVE Jenifer Haupt...let me count the ways. I can not sing her praises loud enough. She is so very talented with her craft, a gifted artist. She is able to do any style of hair and make-up needed . And she brings such a great energy to the room, she is so full of life, love and joy for her work and it just makes everyone feel great. Also, as a photographer I know I can count on her %100 to be on time and to deliver a long lasting look under any circumstances. I could not recommend her enough !! read more

I chose Jenifer Haupt of I Make Beautiful for my hair and makeup for my wedding on September 27th 2014. Jenifer is extremely talented and SO COOL! She loves what she does and it shows in her work. I felt totally beautified and confident on my wedding day, which is so important when all eyes are on you! My husband was blown away when he saw me! My hair and makeup lasted well into the night, through all the hugging, dancing, and sweating! Her prices were reasonable too, which helped the budget! I would totally get my hair and makeup done by Jenifer again and you should too! -Nicolette Thayer read more

Jenifer beautified my daughter for Senior school portraits. My girl looked absolutely beautiful. The makeup was applied age appropriate (as this was for a high school student). Her hair was curled perfectly! I was pleased! I highly recommend Jenifer! She is a true professional! read more

Jenifer was wonderful. I showed up for a boudoir shoot, and she knew exactly what to do! She did my hair and makeup, didn't ask me questions, and VaVoom.... I really did not think that look was possible. I was very impressed with the look she gave me, and it made me feel very confident going into my boudoir shoot. read more

Wedding day makeup is serious. I wanted to look effortlessly flawless and all around beautiful. I worried about stress breakouts so I booked Jenifer for my wedding and I couldn't have made a better decision. I've seen so many ladies get wedding makeup applied in such a fashion that look completely different. This was not the case for me. I looked and felt like me (me on my best day, but still me). Jenifer arrived on time and was very quick (but not rushed). I highly recommend her services to any woman wanting to look her best for a special day. read more

Jenifer is THE best makeup artist in the area. I have hired her for several events, and she always makes me look amazing. I refer everyone that I know who is looking for a makeup artist to Jenifer. Beyond that, she is a beautiful person inside and out. There is no doubt that her success is due to her genuine and awesome character. She is amazing! read more

Where do I start? Jennifer is simply amazing. If you are looking for curls that will stay in place for DAYS...Jennifer is your girl. So I was getting make up and hair done for a photo shoot...luckily I got to work with Jennifer and couldn't have been more impressed. My hair was flawless, I tossled it around for the shoot and it still looked fabulous after and the next day! I got so many compliments on my hair it was crazy! I quickly realized Jennifer needed to do my hair for the wedding. I had had a hair trial already, where the curls fell out in 2 hours...and I accepted that that's what would happen...but then after having Jennifer do my hair I learned that didn't have to be the case. Even though Jennifer was already booked (it was only 2 weeks away) she connected me with another stylist...going out of her way to help me. If you want flawless, stay in place wedding hair (or any other event) that you don't have to worry about...go with Jennifer! As an added bonus..she's super nice, friendly and easy to work with!! read more

Jenifer is a kind and caring person and a wonderful hair stylist and make up artist. She took care of myself, my now husband and my mom and sister for my wedding last weekend. We all looked so beautiful and my husband so handsome! I would hire her in an instant again. I highly recommend her. read more

The only way to describe my hair and make up experience with Jennifer is PERFECTION! Jen did my hair and make up and my mom's on my wedding day, and we both could not have asked for better service. She is so warm and fun to be around, it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. My hair and make up turned out so great and lasted all night, even through allll the dancing! I highly recommend getting your hair and make up done for your wedding day because it is such a relaxing and pampering experience, it really helped set the tone for the morning getting ready and made me so at ease. My mom had never had her make up done before and she could not have better things to say, she loved it! We both got so many compliments throughout the evening and I am so thankful Jen was there to make sure we looked perfect :) read more

Jenifer did the makeup for my wedding a week ago and I'm so glad she did! She came to our hotel in Davis at 8am and did makeup for me, my 3 bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law. I wanted a light, fresh look and she delivered! Everyone looked incredible and even the mothers were pleased (they don't usually wear much makeup). The makeup lasted from 8am until the wedding was over at 10pm even though it was 90 degrees (we only needed to touch up our lips, and she gives the bride lip gloss to take to the venue so we all used that). For pictures of the final product, check out: http://www.lyndsayundseth.com/park-winters-wedding-taylor-and-chris/ Jenifer was also a great, calming presence. The makeup order had to be shifted a bit due to hair complications, but Jenifer didn't rush us or complain. I'm so glad Jenifer was a part of my wedding and I highly recommend her to others in the Sacramento area. read more

We love Jenifer! She did mine and my wife's make up for both our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding. I seriously have never felt so beautiful! She was super professional and she was also a crack up! She listened to the idea I had in mind and she made it happen! On the day of the wedding, we lost power while we were getting ready and Jenifer kept us calm and she came prepared to get the job done regardless. I not only found a wonderful and talented make up artist, I feel like I also found a friend. I would recommend her to everyone! read more

Jen is simply amazing! There are simply no other words to describe Jen's talent, communication, and professionalism. I hired Jen to provide make-up services for myself, my two bridal attendants, my mother, my future mother-in-law, my future sister-in-law, and my officiant for my wedding in September 2015. From our first meeting, to my hair and make-up trial, to my wedding day, Jen was available for questions and feedback. She was always responsive to my questions and feedback. Jen was able to create the exact make-up and hair I wanted and was also able to deliver exactly what I wanted for my bridal party. Not only was Jen awesome to work with but she had an extremely positive attitude which made our wedding day experience so FANTASTIC. I would highly recommend Jen as she is all-around easy to work with and provides outstanding service! read more

I had Jenifer do my makeup for a pin up style photo shoot and she totally nailed it! I was 100% satisfied. Im a bit jumpy when someone else does my makeup, but her personality and professionalism made me comfortable, and before I knew it we were done and I looked hot! Thanks again Jen for kicking major butt! read more

Jennifer is AMAZING! She was so responsive through out my entire wedding process. I loved the work that I saw of hers in the past and was so excited for my own trial and wedding! She is not only very talented she is just fun to be with! I felt like the whole morning of my girls getting ready, she was just one of us, hanging out and making my girls look amazing and hair look great. I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer (and her team) for any event that you are wanting to look flawless. read more

She is so sweet, professional and very accommodating to your needs. She works with your skin type and makes you look beautiful! I was very happy with her work. read more

What can I say about Jen that hasn't been said?? She is just the best at what she does! In fact, she is the most popular referral at the studio and every single bride we sent her way has been 200% satisfied! As she goes beyond their expectations, and is a beautiful person inside and out. As a photographer, I love working with her because she is ALWAYS ON TIME, which is huge because the whole wedding day is very time sensitive and it all starts with makeup and hair. I've even sent my personal friends to her knowing that she will just fit in well with our circle... Can't wait til the next shoot! XO read more

Jenifer is the most amazing when it comes to wedding hair and makeup! Just went for my trial run with her today and she captured exactly what I was looking for! I have had bad experiences with other people in the past because they "just don't get it". Not Jenifer, she is amazing!! She also has an amazing personality and is super sweet! Can't wait to have her there to make my big day perfect! read more

Jenifer is amazing! Worth every penny. I have never felt so pretty..... She did the bridal party for a wedding I was in and everyone loved it. It turned out beautiful! Plus she is super fun! read more

My hair and makeup was one of the most important items for my wedding - I wanted to get someone that I could trust to create the look I envisioned. Jenifer did an brilliant job, she is a true professional! Guests kept complimenting both my hair and makeup. Additionally, she was able to manage my large wedding party and family members - everyone was beautiful and on time! I recommend her to anyone I know getting married. read more

I scheduled Jenifer to do my wedding make-up. Although I wear makeup everyday, I am definitely a minimalist with it, so a natural look was important to me. I tried out a couple of other makeup artists but somehow none really delivered when I asked for a natural look. Jenifer did. Even my fiance was impressed and loved my makeup. During my trial run I was a little taken aback when Jenifer pointed out some problems with my hairstyle (I had just come from a trial run for my hair), but she was absolutely right and it helped me to describe what I wanted to my stylist at the next appointment. On the day of my wedding, some of the other stylists were late, but Jenifer was on-time. She waited patiently with a warm friendly disposition that put me at ease, even though I felt terrible that everything was running behind! I mentioned to her that I had some makeup residue under my eyes following the trial run and she was able to prevent it from happening again on the day. As she was packing up to leave, we realized that the make-up artist for the bridesmaids wasn't going to finish. Jenifer graciously unpacked her gear and got to work on the remaining bridesmaids so we could get out of there and head to the ceremony. Great experience with Jenifer! read more

Jenifer is the absolute BEST!!! I feel so blessed that she helped me an all of my bridesmaids get ready for my wedding. The amount of complements that I have received since then has been astronomical! Everyone of us loved her! She is beautiful inside and out! She made us all feel so comfortable on what could have been a very hectic day. Two of my bridesmaids are very picky and they loved how Jenifer made them look! I cannot wait to work with her again!!! Oh!!! The best part!!!! All of our make-up stayed on for the entire wedding!!!! We all danced our hearts out and still looked GREAT all the way into the after party!!! read more

Jenifer took my wedding day from a stressful event to something where I knew I would look gorgeous from start to finish. I used one of her packages and thus she was with me and my girls from the start of the day until after the ceremony. It was such a relief to know that when(not if) I got weepy or tried to wipe my nose that someone would be there with a brush ready to fix whatever I had done to myself. She is absolutely wonderful and if I ever need professional make up or hair again, she will be my first phone call. read more

Jenifer from I Make Beautiful is fabulous. I love when my clients hire her as I know they are going to look beautiful and they will be on time. I love the fact that she can do hair and makeup if we only have a few people or she can just do makeup if we have lots of bridesmaids. She always has people she can bring in and makes sure that the day runs smoothly. The girls are camera ready...just perfect for a wedding day or magazine shoot! read more

Jenifer is truly incredible! I am so happy that I found her to do my makeup for my wedding. She did mine as well as several of my bridesmaids and we all looked and felt amazing. She was able to give me the exact look that I had pictured in my head, even though I had a hard time of really explaining it...Jenifer got it spot on. She is an artist with a true gift. I would recommend her to anyone for any occasion. If I ever need my makeup done again for a special occasion, I won't hesitate to call her. read more

I hired Jenifer to take me shopping and to give me a makeup tutorial. I've had two babies really close together, and had stopped feeling pretty. I had purchased some makeup and tools, but was missing key things (like foundation, or the right blush) and had no idea how to use the stuff I bought... I've never been better than basic at the whole beauty thing. Jenifer took me to Sephora and MAC and helped me pick out products that she felt were right for my skin and coloring. I have a much higher degree of confidence in what I purchased because of her expertise. After our shopping was finished, I met her down at her studio for a lesson in makeup application. We covered (ha! Makeup pun) my whole face: foundation, concealer, color correction, contouring, eyebrows, eyeshadow, eyeliner (by far my biggest challenge), blush and lipstick. She was thorough, patient, and really fun to talk to. Oh, and I had my three-month old son with me... I know for a fact that his being there added time to my appointment, but at no time did I feel rushed. I spent from 10am-2pm with Jenifer, and she provided great value for that time. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their skills with makeup. She's a great teacher, and has the resume to back it up-- she's spent a number of years as a makeup instructor at a makeup academy prior to owning her own business. All in all, I hired Jenifer to feel pretty again and mission accomplished. Thanks again for a great time! read more

Jenifer did my hair and makeup for my engagement photo shoot as well as my 2 daughter's hair & makeup. She did such a fabulous job and did the exact same hairstyles we were looking for. I normally get a lot of anxiety about taking pictures, but knowing I had my hair and makeup done made the photo session a lot easier to deal with. I truly felt so glamorous. I also really like that she sends a prep guide and asks for her clients to send her pictures of hairstyles they look, including make up styles. She also asks for a picture of her client so she can make assessments on what might work and what can be changed. Truly professional and thorough! She makes her clients feel at ease and her studio is just about the cutest place I've seen. I love the color scheme and furniture she has in her studio...definitely a cozy space. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family! Thanks Jenifer! read more

Jenifer defines artist when you think make up artist. She has done by makeup for countless events the last few years and I am so thankful that she always makes me look my absolute best. She brought out the true beauty in everyone on my wedding day. She did all of the makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, three moms and my grandma. All under 4 hours. Insane how she works! Always the constant professional, she was there early and ready to go before any of us were. I can't stress to you brides enough, that she is the one you want on your team on such an important day. Thank you Jen for making me feel like a princess!!! read more

Jenifer did my hair and makeup for my wedding on 2/13/16. It was stunning! The day would not have been the same without her. My hair and makeup were perfect and exactly what I asked for. I received endless compliments. She made the day so fun and stress free. She also did my mother and maid of honor who looked equally stunning. I have never seen them look so gorgeous before. I told Jenifer I wish I could have another wedding just to do the whole day over again. I did the whole day package and so she stayed through the ceremony, and did touch up before and after pictures. Thank you so much Jenifer for helping make my day so special! I need to figure out how to post pictures on here so people can see what an artist you are! read more

I was lucky enough to meet Jen years before I ever was engaged. The first time she did my makeup back in 2010 I KNEW I must have her be a part of my wedding one day....I was married last month and was once again reminded of why I adore her as much as I do. Jen is one of those people you instantly feel comfortable with. She is kind, fun, sweet and a PHENOMENAL hair and makeup artist. She did my wedding hair and makeup along with my four bridesmaids makeup. She doesn't just do your hair or makeup...she makes the entire wedding day even more of a special experience. Jen was prompt, organized and efficient! She is worth every penny and I've never had more compliments on my hair and makeup than I did that day! Cannot stress enough how perfect she is at her work! Book her! read more

Jennifer did my wedding hair and makeup as well as my mom and 5 bridesmaids makeup last week. She was amazing!!! This is my first time writing a review which tells you how good she really was!!!!

Jenifer did an amazing job on my hair and make up for a photo shoot! I was amazed I could look so beautiful! She was so professional and just made me feel comfortable from the start. I just wish I knew the serum she used for my hair to hold the curls! That still held all day! read more

What can I say: Jenifer made me beautiful! She did my hair and makeup for an engagement photoshoot and for my wedding! Both times I turned out gorgeous :) Jenifer will never do something you don't like, she's very professional, skillful, and super nice! She even gave tips to my bridesmaids what to do with their hair even though they didn't book her. So kind of her!!! Jenifer started my wedding day stress-free and I believe that's one of the reasons it went so smooth. Thank you, Jenifer! read more

5 stars all the way! Jenifer is super talented, professional, flexible and fun! From our trial day to the actual wedding day, Jenifer really worked with me to design my perfect look. I've been told I can be a bit meticulous ;), and she happily helped me tweak a curl here and a bit of eyeliner there to make everything perfect. I hired Jenifer to be on standby after my first look and ceremony and she was always ready to go anytime I popped in for a touch up. On a side note, she is really fun to hang out with while your bridal party is getting hair and make up done. That goes a long way for setting a great vibe for the big day :) Highly recommended! read more
