This was honestly my first facial ever. And as a man who's barely getting into skin care and learning how to properly treat and maintain healthy skin, Jamie was very informative, professional, and overall made the experience wonderful. She has been doing this for about 10 years. She asks about your skin history and does a close examination of what type of skin and issues you may have. Afterwards, she works her magic on treating your face. She does a phenomenal job at explaining each product to you and a little history of the product and how the formulas for each one have evolved over time. I find that really useful and appreciate it a lot. She's not rough at all and applies the right amount of pressure to execute extractions and apply products. At the end, she recommends products for you to use at home and actually sells the products to you right there. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for me. For a first time facial it was great and I'm definitely willing to return for another session. read more

I can't believe that I have never written a review for Jamie! I originally found Jamie through WeddingWire when I got engaged in August of 2013. We met in October of 2013 to do a makeup trial and we ended up just totally hitting it off! I signed up for the bridal package that she was offering at the time, which included wedding day makeup + 3 facials before the wedding. During that time, I started noticing a huge change in my skin. I switched from the drug store Neurtrogena products that I had always used to the Epicuren line that she recommended and over 5 years later, I've never looked back! I continue to see Jamie every 3-4 months for regular facials and my skin always looks amazing. She's so knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. Her studio is small and cute, very clean and relaxing. I have recommended literally every person I know to go to her and they all have gone to her then become clients! She's amazing at what she does, not to mention she's the sweetest, most kind person I have ever met. Ps. She did my wedding makeup in 2014 and all my bridesmaids and everyone looked STUNNING! I had never felt more beautiful than I did on that day. Jamie- you're amazing! I swear I'll be a client for as long as you're in business! lol. read more

Jamie Michele - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Jamie is the best! I was referred to her by a friend and I am so grateful. She has such a good energy and is so easy to talk to. Most importantly, however, she really knows her stuff! I really appreciated how she took the time to listen to my skin concerns (hyperpigmentation and congestion) and planned a facial that addressed my skin needs. She also recommended some products that I have been using and LOVE! They have made such a difference. She even noticed at our second appointment! She wasn't pushy with the products and suggested that I keep it simple, recommending a 3 step routine. I feel like she really cares about what she does and even though we just met, I immediately felt like I had known her for years. I have seen her twice now and leave with my skin feeling and looking amazing and a smile on my face. I cannot recommend Jamie enough! I am so glad that I found her. She is a treasure both for my skin and also on a personal level. read more

Jamie did an incredible job for my wedding day makeup and during all the facials leading up to the big day. My skin has never been better which made my makeup look even more beautiful!

I went for a facial last week, and I did not realize how badly I needed one until during the session when I touched my face and it felt amazing. I have since followed her guidance on how to take care of my skin daily, and I still feel the difference. I can see the difference not only in the mirror, but in pictures, too. This is only after one facial. I'm excited to go back to just keep on top of a good skin care routine. Also, the products she used and put on my face smelled sooo good. I purchased a product from her that I cannot get enough of. I get excited to put it on my face after cleansing. Most importantly though, I really trust Jamie and her work. I get worried a bit when I am putting my body in another's care, even for just beauty-type appointments, especially with dealing with your face. I really am not concerned about this with Jamie though. I trust her work and knowledge. And I forgot until writing this review that about a couple years ago she did my makeup for a photoshoot with my daughter. By far my favorite makeup I've ever had. They are some of my favorite pictures because my makeup looks so good! (Oh, yeah, and my daughter looks really cute, too.) But the eye makeup was great! read more

Jamie is amazing at what she does!! Not only is she adorable and SO friendly, but she really knows her stuff. My skin before her was a mess and I can honestly say that she has turned that around 100%!! I'm so grateful for her knowledge and wonderful services that she provides. I would recommend her to anyone she is excellent!! read more

Jamie Michele - Me with no foundation!! I could NEVER do this before Jamie - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

There are facials and then there is the ultimate facial experience with Jamie. If you are looking to improve your complexion, mind and soul then look no further. She really takes her time to adjust your regimen with consideration of your skin goals and seasonal changes. Unlike other places where you immediately breakout, your face will glow and feel like velvet. On top of her quality product choices, she always advises what she is using and the purpose behind it. Wait there is more...her signature facial massages will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the world! Consider it a 2 for 1 treatment process. I am happy to support this female small biz owner. read more

Jamie has been doing my facials for years and I recently came into her when my skin was a mess! She gave me a facial and two new products. My skin cleared up the next day and the products are now my favorite things I've ever used! She is a wealth of knowledge and carefully recommends things that are person and even situation specific. She has a true gift and anyone would be so lucky to have her take care of your skin! read more

Jamie is a true gem! She has given me some amazing facials and chemical peels which have really helped clear up my skin. She's great at listening to any concerns you may have and really customizes the facial to your skin needs. Aside from visiting her at her studio for a facial I have gotten to work with her on several styled shoots and weddings for her makeup artistry. Jamie is so talented and professional and uses only The best products for your skin. She takes her time to make sure you will be happy with the result and trust me you will leave you feeling looking and feeling the best version of yourself after getting dolled up by her! She is such a pleasure to be around I highly reccommend her! read more

Can't say enough great things about Jamie and her work. I had a very specific look I wanted for my wedding. I wanted to look like myself, but nicer and more polished. She nailed it and my airbrushed makeup lasted all night (even through many many tears). She's an absolute doll, so easy to talk to and fun to be around. My bridesmaids and mom loved their makeup as well! Highly highly highly recommend her. If you have any specific questions about my experience feel free to message me! read more

Love Jamie!!! Since I've been going to her for facials my rosacea has calmed, my cystic acne has gone away, and my knowledge for skin care has flourished. I'm writing this the day after another appointment and I can't contain my excitement about how great my skin looks. Literally glowing. She's the best. read more

I've been a client of Jamie's for about 3 years now. After every facial I feel refreshed and excited about my skin. For example, my most recent facial she examined my skin closely and asked if my skin felt dry lately and as soon as I mentioned I was on antibiotics she said that had to be the reason. She also recommend probiotics since I was on medicine and went into the importance of balancing our bodies. She's not only knowledgeable when it comes to skin care but also to staying healthy and how that affects our skin. She then catered the facial to cleansing my skin but to also rehydrate and not using anything too harsh so it wouldn't dry out more. The whole experience is extremely relaxing. She's set up like a spa and even gives an arm, hand and face massage! I highly recommend her. I feel amazing as soon as I step out of her room and my face is glowing. read more

I personally did not get my make up done by jamie but I sincerely regret it. She transformed my already beautiful friends into the most outstandingly stunning human beings! She knows how to pop every eye color and everyone's make up is done in a completely unique way to accentuate everyone's features. A true professional!!! read more

I could not believe how amazing Jamie was during my trial and on the day of. I got so many compliments on my makeup, and it lasted all night (and even the next day.. lol!) I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and it's hugely in part to Jamie and her amazing skills. I wanted a few tweaks from what we did during the trial that I didn't tell her about until the day of, and it turned out flawlessly! I wish I could have her do my makeup every day, but since that's unrealistic I will definitely be seeing her whenever I attend an event! I'd rate her higher if i could. read more

Jamie Michele - flawless! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Jamie was recommended to me by one of my good friends to do my wedding makeup. After meeting with her and having her do my trial, I was blown away by her talent. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup so I wanted to make sure my wedding day look was still natural and she completely nailed it! A few days before the wedding, she made sure to get me in for a facial that was not only amazing for my skin but 100% needed to just relax me during all the crazy pre-wedding stress. I look back at my photos and can't believe how flawless she made my skin with airbrush! I seriously felt so pretty and confident that day and just want to thank Jamie for her hard work in helping make my perfect day come true. She is such a sweet person and has given me some great advice in the little time I've known her. I highly recommend her! read more

Esthetician Jamie Michele is fabulous! I have been going to her for facials and I will keep on coming back! I have been struggling with acne (cystic, blackheads, the whole shebang...) for about a year, going to a dermatologist, buying tons of different products, using prescription medications (topical and oral) and the only thing that is working are my religious visits to Jamie! She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to find the perfect regimen for your skin type. I also love that she uses Epicuren products! Taking care of my skin is an investment so 90% of my results go into what I do at home BUT without Jamie's tips, expertise, and amazing skincare I would definitely still be clueless about what to do with my acne. Thanks Jamie!!! :) read more

I've had my makeup done by Jamie twice now. The first time I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and she did a fantastic job. I had to book her for my own wedding. Not only did I love what she did for me, she killed the looks for my bridesmaids and moms. Everyone in my bridal party had different skin tones, eye-shapes, and preferences with their makeup. She really listens to what each person is comfortable with and is great at suggesting what will look good on you. I love the work she does and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a flawless look for any special occasion. read more

Jamie is AMAZING! I have known and loved her for years! She gives the best facial! My skin has come such a long way - thanks to Jamie! She knows skin! I highly recommend the products she uses as well. I have seen huge improvements in my skin's texture, elasticity and my acne is gone! She always makes me feel relaxed and comfortable - I look forward to my monthly facial! Love walking out with a gorgeous glow that lasts for days! read more

From the moment I spoke to Jamie on the phone I knew I had to hire her!!! She did my makeup for my wedding on Sept. 20th. She is an amazing makeup artist and makes you feel like you have been friends forever! she took her time to get to know me as well! I was looking for a airbrush makeup artist and quickly found her and sent her an inquiry and with in a few hours I got a response back, which is a plus!!! I quickly booked my makeup trial appointment! From the moment I met her in person at the trial I knew she was the one I had to book! She was very accommodating to my very early morning schedule for my wedding day. She did an amazing job!!! Made me look like ME! which was important, she brings out the natural beauty within your self and that is what I was looking for on my wedding day! I will diffidently call Jamie up the next time I need professional makeup done! Thank you Jamie!!!!! read more

Jamie knocked it out of the park with the bridesmaids and with my (Mother of the Groom) makeup. I was particularly pleased because Jamie nailed the look I was going for. Thank you, Jamie! I will most definitely be coming back!! read more

I recently emailed and consulted Jaime in regard to her make up and hair services and was blown away by her lack of interest in our conversation from the very start. I can't personally attest to her services in make up and hair but all I can say is that Jaime really did not care to earn your services with her careless demeanor and lack of communication when I was emailing her in regards to her services. She was mostly interested "4 individual minimum" in which I qualified for. And even after then, there were one word answers, answers one week later. In short, it just felt she was too good for us. When I'm the one trying to be more proactive and learn more about your services, something is wrong. In addition, when I felt like I was no longer a good candidate in being her customer, she dropped communication altogether. Her attitude altogether made it seem as if she was too good for us and that was just a turn off altogether. Maybe you were just having a bad day or maybe it was a busy or frustrating week? Nevertheless, that's not how you treat your potential customers when they're interested in your services. I may just be one individual who may have had a bad experience with you but it's enough for me and my fiancé to not recommend you to anyone. read more

I recently met Jamie and had my first facial in three years. Jamie is so knowledgeable about the science and technology behind skin care. She introduced me to new skin care products and regimes that fit my skin type. The rose oil that I bought from her smells incredible and is very great quality product. The Epicuren brands that she has are also great, they smell wonderful and feel so good on my skin. The whole facial was very relaxing she explained everything to me step by step as I am unfamiliar with facials. My skin feels amazing and it hasn't felt this smooth in a long time. I can't wait to come back to Jamie for more skin care treatments! She's honestly so wonderful to work with! read more

If I could, I would rate her a 10!. She has been my esthetician for a couple of months now, healing my skin while giving me the best tips on how to maintain it while I am away. She is very informative and she is all about educating you on what it is that you need to know for your skin type. I also have had her do my makeup for a special event and I have never felt more beautiful ! Thank you Jamie for all that you do. You are a special person inside and out. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

I love Jamie! She is such an awesome woman and a great conversationalist. I have gone to her for facials and waxing and I am totally zenned out when it is done. She is never pushy on selling products (which I love) and she caters the facial to you and your skin type. She will always have my business! read more

After my first make up trial from my friend's referral, I decided I needed to look further. The First Lady who did my make up wasn't bad, but it looked too similar to the job I do. I was looking for someone who could make me look glamorous, sexy, beautiful, gorgeous, and stand out from the rest! Can you blame me? I'm the bride! It's going to be one of the biggest days of my life, with lots of pictures being flashed at us! So, I came across Jamie Michele, and let me tell you, she is so sweet and all that good vibe kinda stuff, but on top of it, this girl can do some beautiful transformations! I have hyper pigmentation, and lots of freckles...my face looks like the world map! Not only is Jamie an amazing make up artist, but she's also an esthetician, which, let me tell you, really helps! She had my face looking so incredibly smooth! It was a miracle! When I got home after my trial, my now hubby, was loving my sexy looking face! We both knew Jamie was the woman to hire for the big day, and I did! :-) Jamie is an incredible make up artist, and I will refer her to all! You will not be disappointed! read more

There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Jamie's services. I found her on yelp and I'm so so thankful I took my chances with her. What made me choose her was her amazing and truthful reviews. After I spoke with her on the phone, I knew I was in great hands. She took the time to follow up with me weeks and days before the wedding. She was so flexible with me and I'm so thankful she was able to work with my schedule. I had never tried airbrush makeup but after my session with Jamie, I knew what the hype was about. She delivered everything and MORE. I had never felt so beautiful in my life. I recommend her to the world if I could. Jamie was so sweet, so passionate, caring. Thoughtful and soooo friendly. There was never a silent moment because she really does care about her work and the people she works with. Do yourself a favor, don't look any further and book her. Honestly. You will not regret it. Thank you once again Jamie! You're amazing and I am so thankful God placed you in my path. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist! read more

Jamie Michele - Thank you Jamie!!!! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I searched for a long time to find the right makeup artist for my wedding. It wasn't until I came across Jamie's site that I was confident I found the right person. Jamie did an amazing job for my engagement shoot and wedding. I was incredibly happy! Plus, all of my bridesmaids loved her work and even my sister-in-law sees her on a regular basis now for facials. I also see her for skin care and love every visit. Jamie is fantastic to be around and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her. read more

Honestly, I don't even know where to start. Today was my first appointment with Jamie and it couldn't have gone any better. She's is AMAZING! I had, hands down, the BEST facial I have ever had. She took her time talking to me about my current skin care routine and lifestyle and really took that all into customizing the perfect facial. I look forward to seeing her again! Jamie please never leave me!!! read more

Jamie did makeup for myself and my 5 bridesmaids at my vow renewal in May 2017. Not only did Jamie make us all look GORGEOUS but she was wonderful to work with! She really helped guide me towards the look that I wanted, which was so helpful because I can be so indecisive. She gave me great advice for how to care for my skin right up until my big day, so I not only looked amazing but my skin felt amazing too! She met each and every one of my girls where they were at in regards to makeup, and I know they were all very comfortable with her! To top it all off, Jamie is a great gal, who was so fun to chat with and get to know and just added to the overall beautiful, wonderful experience that was our vow renewal! THANK YOU JAMIE!!! XOXO! read more

Jamie did such an incredible job! As a wedding planner, I'm always looking for makeup artists who not only make my brides look beautiful but also have everything done on time. You wouldn't believe how rare it is to find someone to do both! Jamie absolutely is that person and I can't wait to work with her on more weddings! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Jamie... she truly has a rare gift that made me feel like a million bucks. Do yourself a favor and look no further. :) read more

Jamie is the BEST!! She is so friendly, knowledgeable fun!! She takes the time to listen to what your concerns are. My skin looked and felt great!! I went with my sister and my niece for a "facial day" and we were all happy with the results! read more

It had been awhile since I had a facial so I was super excited when I had my appointment. Jamie immediately made me feel welcomed. She has a very warm and friendly personality. This put me at ease immediately. Her technique and expertise was exactly what I needed. I had to keep myself from falling asleep during my facial because it was so relaxing. My skin was noticeably healthier almost immediately. My favorite part was the pumpkin mask she used on me. It smelled wonderful and made my skin super soft. I will definitely be returning to Jamie for another facial! read more

Skin feels wonderful!! Can't wait for my next facial with Jamie Michele. She is knowledgable and so helpful. The scalp massage was heavenly!

I needed a makeup artist that was based in OC for my wedding in October. I wanted a good MUA because I had a couple of bridesmaids and mothers who were very particular with their makeup. I am so glad that I found Jamie!! I stumbled across her page on Yelp and I figured she was worth reaching out to since she had such high reviews. The day I emailed her she instantly called me personally just to say hi and to tell me that she received my email. She sounded so genuine and was super friendly. I just knew that I was going to like her after that conversation. Going into my trial, she was very accommodating with my schedule. She really took the time to get to know me as a person and she really cared about the look that I was going for. I wanted something dramatic enough to photograph well but not too drastic that would lose my facial features (my husband likes the more natural look). She nailed it on the trial and made it even better on the wedding day! She takes longer than the usual MUA I had trials with, but she does so because she's such a perfectionist. Who doesn't want to look perfect for their big day?? As the day wore on, I noticed that my makeup stayed put the entire day. Even through the heat, tears, and sweat my makeup looked flawless!! I used Jamie to do my pre-wedding facials and it is one of the closest things to heaven. I personally didn't think that I would "waste" money to do something like that but when you're planning a big wedding like I did everything helps to make you look fresh and less stress. Her facials made my skin feel so smooth and soft and it really relaxes you. I cannot tell you enough how much I looked forward to my facial sessions. For all my future event, I am definitely going to go with Jaime. She is a little bit more expensive than other MUA I've used, but trust me she is totally worth every penny! I would highly recommend Jamie! read more

My daughter and I went to Jamie Michele for makeup lessons. Not only did Jaime make us feel immediately comfortable, she also taught us new and easy makeup application skills that we are able to use on a daily basis. Our session with Jaime was fun, informative, and a great time for my daughter and me. Jamie is warm and personable, and we have definitely not only learned a lot from her, but we have made a new friend! Can't wait to come back! read more

Jamie is incredible! I booked her for my wedding makeup, but ended up booking her for a facial as well after reading all of her reviews. I noticed a difference in my skin after just one facial! I wish I had remembered to take a before and after photo. She is incredibly sweet and friendly, and her facials are so relaxing! She informed me about my skin type and it's needs, and recommended a few products for me to try- which have helped my skin tremendously. I have gone back to her for more facials and each time my skin is left glowing! She also did my makeup for both of my bridal showers, which looked amazing both times. I can't wait to go back for more facials and for her to do my bridal makeup for my wedding day! Thank you Jamie! read more

Jamie did my makeup for my engagement photos and after that, I knew that I wanted her to do my wedding makeup as well! She is always a pleasure to work with and is very professional and fun. She did my makeup as well as my 3 bridesmaids and my mom's makeup that day too. All of the girls received so many compliments on their makeup and all of our wedding photos turned out great! She did a beautiful job and I would definitely recommend her. She is awesome! read more

Jamie is an absolute gem - super professional, great at communication via phone and email, so fun to work with, and great at what she does. My bridal makeup looked phenomenal and lasted all night long. She truly knows how to enhance natural beauty and works with you on getting exactly what you want. read more
