The trial experience…read morewas wonderful and relaxing which made me feel comfortable about what to expect when the actual day came around. The morning of the wedding, she and her hair stylist, Valentina, arrived bright and early. They kept me, my mom, and best friend talking and laughing the whole time which helped keep me calm about what was to come. It felt like we were a bunch of ladies hanging out in our pajamas having fun doing our hair and makeup! Throughout our reception, I received raves for my makeup and hair! So many guests asked who did it and how it was perfect for the theme of the wedding! A friend even told me that she heard our co-worker say "WOW!!" when he saw me as I walked down the aisle. Her makeup was light and airy. I didn't even feel like I was wearing makeup and couldn't believe how well it survived the day. It lasted through photos, eating, toasting, and dancing and still looked amazing even when I reluctantly removed it that evening! Do yourself a huge favor and contact Gabriela if you want to look and feel beautiful on your special day! Or, heck, for any event!

I felt that she did my make up pretty fast probabbly took her about 30 minutes and unfortunately I did not end up loving it. To book a appointment she required a deposit. I paid 120 including tip and I also drove to her home.

Howdy, I am posting…read morefor my fiance, now wife about Laura's great work. "Laura was awesome. She arrived and set up on time. I asked for a fresh-faced bridal look and she did not disappoint. I have monolids that are very tricky. Some makeup artists make one eye look bigger than the other in my experience. Laura made my eyes look even. Even if I didn't have a trial makeup, she made me look amazing on my special day." From my perspective I was happy with the attention given to my wife and the great attitude she had while interacting with her. I would recommend Laura for any bride especially those with Monolids.

She answered any questions I had and helped ease my pre-ceremony jitters the day of my wedding. She created a detailed schedule for myself, my bridesmaids, and the moms the day of. She and Holly did a fantastic job on all of our hair and makeup. She even worked with extensions that I brought given I have super thin hair. You couldn't even tell my hair was so thin the day of my wedding! Also, if you are on the fence about an airbrush tan for your wedding, DO IT! I had never had a tan of any sort before and was intimidated so I did a trial beforehand and I fell in love so I got another before my wedding. It is very natural and helps give you a wonderful glow for photos. I love how my bridal portraits turned out with the airbrush tan. Mandie listens to everything you are wanting in your hair and makeup look and is so fun to work with during the whole process. She's beautiful inside and out and I will definitely be working with her in the future for any hair, makeup, and airbrush needs!

She planned everything out perfectly from…read morewhat time she needed to do everyone's makeup, to different shades for different women in my family. She did my makeup multiple times and then did my and my grandmas/moms/cousins makeup for my wedding and everyone looked gorgeous!! Not only did she come to my wedding, but I also book her when I have events in Austin and have always loved how my look has turned out. Her expertise and skill is unparalleled, I highly recommend her.

I used Angela from Lucie Marie as both my makeup and hair stylist for my wedding this past week,…read moreand I could not be happier with the way I looked! My airbrushed makeup looked flawless and held the entire night, and my hair was exactly what I had wanted (although it didn't stay up the entire time, due to the amount of dancing we did). Angela was very professional and had a great attitude and sense of humor throughout both the trial and the actual wedding day. She was honest yet patient with me and my hard to please mother, and tried various different styles to make us happy. Angela and her assistant also did my bridesmaids' hair and makeup, and overall they were very satisfied with things. However, a few girls did not like the way something was done and had to fix it on their own at the venue. Angela's salon is inside Michelle's Patisserie, which was a little confusing and unclear at first, but the setup is nice and professional. She came on location to do all of our hair and makeup on the day of the wedding, and was there early to set up everything. She and her assistant stayed on track and managed to give 11 hairstyles, 9 makeup applications, and 4 sets of false eyelashes within the 6 hour time limit- wow! A few things to note: - Email is the best way to get in contact with her- my mom and I called and left a few messages but didn't hear back until I emailed. - Make sure to tell your bridesmaids to have pictures of what they would like for their hair as well as makeup to avoid any unhappy bridesmaids. -As a bride, don't be afraid to tell her what you want fixed- any corrections are helpful and she does not take offense.

They'll do whatever you want, or you can give them an abstract idea and they'll make it come to life for you. What they did with my waist-length hair was nothing short of amazing. My hard to please mother received compliments all night - they made her look and feel beautiful, too - a lovely updo and very natural looking, pretty makeup. They'll come out to Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Dripping Springs, Marble Falls, San Antonio...Houston, DFW... To come out to the Horseshoe Bay/Marble Falls/Round Mountain area, it only cost an additional $40 total. They'll pretty much travel anywhere, actually, if you pay for the travel costs/time involved. We were so happy with the results that we want to contact them with the hairstyling products and appliances they use. My mom wants to know what makeup they use and wishes she was facing a mirror when they did her makeup so she can recreate it. Maybe I'll splurge on a gift to send them out to Houston sometime -- and give her a makeover and "class". Although I cried at the wedding ceremony, my makeup stayed perfect. The mascara and eyeliner were super waterproof, but yet at the end of the night, it was almost too easy to take off with a little eye makeup remover and a cotton ball. And my lip stain + gloss stayed on for several hours. I didn't even know it was possible without using that 8-hour liquid stuff with top coat... They also provide emergency after hours services for those home jobs that have gone awry - if you leave a message, they'll get back to you ASAP. Anyway, HIGHLY recommended!

Leslie took the time to get to know me as a client and tailored my makeup to my personal preference as well as what my face could carry.

HIM: You're being stupid. [Silent treatment ensues. I hate when he says I'm being stupid. I'm smart damnit!] Fast forward to Fall '08. Enter: Jennifer West. It was love at first (web)-sight(ing). [Did I mention I'm lame too?] I really liked her portfolio, and I liked that she offered both hair and makeup services. Initially, Jennifer told me that she was already booked on my wedding day, but after a little groveling (and a few well-thought-out compliments), Jennifer conceded and said she could fit me in. [Yay for brown-nosing skills!] The moment I met Jennifer, I knew that she was the ONE. Not only was she super sweet and nice, she was extremely professional , knowledgable, and passionate about her work. Fast-forward to my wedding day (last weekend): Amidst the chaos and frenzy of wedding-mania, Jennifer, poised and kind as ever, put to rest my worries. She transformed me into a non-fat head; I'd even say I was attractive! I'll send you photos if you don't believe me.

She made me look like myself but more striking. My makeup stayed relatively fresh in balmy October weather, freezing March windy evenings and a sweltering June finale. I'd definitely say that her specialty is makeup, but she is able to do hair and hair that will stick where she sprays it. She's detailed, funny and kind and made me feel like a million bucks before and after each appointment/photo session. She also leaves you with a touch-up kit for the day of your wedding. Best of all, she's a neat freak (in a good way) and really makes sure that nothing is cross-contaminated - important when working with multiple clients and parties.

Denise is the BEST! I cannot say enough good things about Denise and her skills as a makeup artist,…read moreand I HIGHLY recommend her! I have known Denise since she first did my makeup over ten years ago at Saks when I was a freshman in high school. Since then, Denise has been the go-to person for makeup for my mom, my sister, my grandmother, and me. Over the years, Denise has always exceeded our expectations and we have recommended her without hesitation to family and friends. She has an incredible attention to detail and an amazing ability to highlight a person's best features, while making them look naturally beautiful. She is truly an artist when it comes to makeup! When I began planning my May 2013 wedding, I immediately called Denise to make sure she would be able to do makeup for my bridal portraits and for my wedding. Denise went above and beyond for me. Both days, my makeup looked flawless from start to finish (despite hot and humid weather!) and photographed beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Denise did makeup for me, eight bridesmaids, my mom, and my grandmother. Denise was very attentive to everyone and customized the makeup application to each person. She really took the time to make sure that each person looked perfect. When everyone was done, Denise stayed for a while to make sure everyone was happy with their makeup and to help with any touchups that needed to be done. Everyone was thrilled with their makeup and looked stunning for the entire wedding. Numerous compliments on the makeup were received by all, and I could not have been happier with the way everyone's makeup looked! In addition to her amazing makeup skills, Denise is wonderful to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She is extremely professional and coordinated effortlessly with the hair stylists, wedding planner, and photographer to make sure everyone was ready on time. Her sweet and fun personality made getting ready enjoyable for everyone, and I loved having her there on my wedding day. Denise helped to make the day perfect for me and I know that she will do the same for you. Thank you, Denise for all you did!!

Re: Katy Reddell Photo @katyreddellphoto…read more I have been following Katy on Instagram for the last seven years. Did you know that she is also a professional photographer? I hadn't taken professional photos since my wedding ten years ago. I always knew that if I took professional family photos, I would want to hire Katy because she also does hair and makeup. I am Gen X and 100% breastfeeding. Who else would be better at capturing breastfeeding than a boudoir photographer? Her prices are reasonable. She's about $1000 cheaper than the other photographer in Austin who also does hair and makeup. We paid $1085 total for two locations which included thirty three edited photos, hair and makeup, and three photo albums. The photo albums are high quality cardboard pages. We used the newborn photos that Katy took to order birth announcements on Shutterfly. We'll use the family photos for our Christmas cards later this year. We plan on hiring Katy again next year!
