We discussed the date, time and budget and she was quick to provide me with a quote and service detail. I personally didn't get the chance and time to go in for a trial, but I trusted Ann with the process and I've seen her work personally and had her services before. She was accommodating with the amount of space I had at my home and the amount of people her team had to work with in the limited time. My bridal party and mothers love the services and everyone looked beautiful the day of my wedding. It is really great to find good priced services (esp. since wedding are super expensive already) and has a whole team to assist a bridal party. Thank you Ann and your amazing team!

She is the sweetest, most talented, and beyond fairly priced person you could ever hope to find. The longer version: I really can't say enough about Maria and her team. She is SO communicative, SO kind, caring, friendly, hard working, and amazing at what she does. She will work relentlessly to make sure that you are happy with her work. I can truly say that I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and it was all thanks to her. I can't count all of the compliments I received and she was honestly one of the best parts of my entire wedding. Stop researching and contact her right now! You can thank me later.

I couldn't have had a better experience working with Camille and Liz of Skyla Arts. After viewing…read moretheir beautiful work on social media, I reached out and received a quick response from Liz. Knowing very little about hair and makeup, Liz asked the right questions to pinpoint my style and vision and I immediately felt that I was in good hands. Camille was my hair and makeup artist and she could not have made me feel more at ease. I was looking for an elevated natural makeup look with a classic/romantic updo and was lucky enough to work with Camille on two occasions for my city hall ceremony and wedding reception. I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out and could not believe how beautifully the looks came together. For someone that doesn't wear makeup normally, I felt super comfortable and truly like the best version of myself. Skyla Arts also provides men's grooming which was much appreciated. My husband has very thick unruly hair that he has never been able to tame, so it was a blessing that we did not have to worry about what to do with it on one of the most important days of our lives. Camille did such a spectacular job on him that it even surprised his family! My mom also needed makeup service last minute which Camille was very kindly able to accommodate. My mom loved her makeup experience just as much as I did. So many of our family and friends all commented on how amazing my husband and I looked and multiple family members who interacted with Camille noted how wonderfully lovely and kind she was. Thanks so much Camille and Liz!

She also had a team of henna artists come to my wedding to provide henna for our guests. Geet has a great eye for detail. She does consults with you beforehand to see your vision and she doesnmakeup really well (i dont like heavy makeup and she accommodated my needs) and my hair looked very sleek.

At this point, they both know my face so well that I would be grateful if either of them are available for my next special occasion! I have half hooded eyes so it's hard to find someone that understands my facial features, but I trust Emily and Amy completely. They always make me feel beautiful, confident, and classy. In addition, they're always responsive and communicative and I am always at ease knowing that this team will be taking care of my hair and make up. Both Amy and Emily are so easy to talk to, they're personable but professional. Eternally grateful to have found them, they're my go to make up artists!

This business deserves 0 stars…read more My experience with Emily & Michelle (the studio manager) was similar to the other 1 star reviews you will see on this page. They were by far the most unprofessional and disrespectful vendor I encountered during all of my wedding research. The biggest pain point was unresponsiveness which was consistently bad from day 1. It was silence for days despite multiple follow ups, even when we got to the month of the wedding. Whenever I did receive an overdue response, they were unapologetic and I might even say rude. Because of the concerns with communication, my planner kept trying to dissuade me from hiring Emily and I held out until the very last moment hoping to find another HMU artist. However, we were close to my wedding date and even with my planner's help, I wasn't able to find an alternative. So I reluctantly signed the contract a few days before the wedding and transferred a $1600 deposit. That's when I came across the reviews on this page about the no shows. That was the (much delayed) final straw, and coincidentally a HMU artist I had reached out to months prior reached out to say she was available for my wedding. So I notified Emily that evening asking if she would consider refunding any part of my deposit. Granted, she has no legal obligation to do so but it had been less than 24 hrs since I had sent her the deposit (in other words, less than 24 hrs that she held my wedding date which means no lost business for her). No response from her. She kept my $1600. Even with forfeiting the deposit, I decided to switch my HMU artist and 1000% believe I made the right decision. If I hadn't, I would have continued to stress about whether she would show up on my wedding day, and even if she had, I'm not sure how the experience would have gone. For example, if I wanted an adjustment to my hair or make up, would she have been accommodating? Shame on me for ever signing with Emily against my better judgement! I never write reviews but felt compelled to share this experience. I don't recommend her for any future brides.

I sent her some inspiration photos ahead of time, but largely let her do what she thought would look best for my events. Having this flexibility allowed her creativity to flow and as a result I had 3 uniquely different looks for all of my events. She also style my hair extensions as my natural hair is quite short and she blended them so that my natural hair length didn't peak through. Also, Ranjana is just a gem of a human being. She is so easy to talk to and makes the time in her chair go by so fast. Would love to book her again for any future events!
