Bear through this long review with me. I booked Leah for my…read morewedding which took place last Saturday and had to terminate our contract 5 days before our wedding. My first clue should've been at my trial which took place at her home. After being in her home for 5 minutes she insulted me twice. I was wearing a cute eras tour tee which is primarily white (and my favorite cozy tshirt) and she made me take it off and change because it wasn't "white" which at first didn't bother me until she verbatim said that she doesn't like her because she's a "libtard" and after I told her I was also a "libtard" she rubbed my shoulder and said "oh im sorry hunny" as if she was more sorry that I was a liberal and not because she had blatantly insulted me. She also talked a lot of politics and how famous people worship the devil, im not sure why we had this discussion, I was there to get my hair and makeup done. I understand I could've told her in that moment that I was uncomfortable but I am shy and awkward and had already put in my file on her website to avoid talking all politics around my family day of wedding, so not sure where the idea came from that I'd be interested in discussing that during my Trial. Extremely unprofessional. Believe it or not that wasn't the last straw. I continued to work with her as I did like the way she did my hair and makeup and I could email her again letting her know that politics was not to be discussed at all closer to the wedding.... WELL November 9th she sends me some questions she needs answered and said she was sending me a schedule for my day of so I could have myself and my bridesmaids ready for her in the hotel suite. She didn't send it but I answered all her questions in a timely manner. A week later I reach out and ask for the schedule and how much I owe her so I could get that payment complete. She said she would send it the next morning because she was doing a wedding and it was a hectic weekend. Understandable because November weddings in AZ are extremely popular. So I gave her grace, but 4 days go by and now its Monday and my wedding is 5 days away. I again ask for the schedule because I need to let my girls know AND ITS FIVE DAYS TILL MY WEDDING, why dont I already have it. She said "sorry hunny busy wedding weekend, getting dinner tonight and meeting a client and will get it to you tomorrow" I felt completely blown off and not important to her as a client. I decided to tell her that I was very upset and hurt and stressed out at the fact that she wasn't getting this done yet. 4 days before a wedding is crazy to get your schedule in my opinion. She didn't respond so I decided to look over the contract to terminate it. I was very understanding that she got to keep the deposit so i didnt argue. Just told her that i needed someone who could accomadate my needs and that i found that. Again, no response that day or night. The new artist i found that night got me a schedule and what we owed her in an hour of talking to her on the phone....five days from my wedding. So why couldnt leah accomadate that? The next morning i wake up to the schedule leah had said she would send over november 9th, on november 18th....and a following email begging me to not cancel, that she has a lot going on and things got in her way and, that i should understand that. I completely understand that we all struggle or go through hard times but when i go to work and im hurting or upset i dont blow off my guests or ignore them and tell them "oh sorry im having a bad week." Its extremely unprofessional. I just think someone whose been in this industry should know november weddings are hectic, plan accordingly.

Sadly my review of Leah does not have to do with the quality of her work as a hair and makeup…read moreartist, as I did not get to experience her work. This review is based on her professionalism as we communicated ahead of my bridal trial. I am an out of state bride, and I booked Leah for my April 2025 wedding in January of 2024. In late September 2024, I reached out to her letting her know my fiance and I would be traveling to AZ one weekend in January 2025 to meet with vendors and do my hair and makeup trial. I told her we would not be picking a date or booking flights until we heard back on her availability. We hadn't even picked a weekend, to give her as much flexibility as we could. I offered 3 weekends in January. Initially she said she was available the 11th but wanted to double check that. After not hearing back from her, I followed up and she said she was available 1/10/2025 at 1pm. This exchange happened the first week of October. I confirmed that worked for us, and we reached out to other vendors to schedule appointments and booked our flights there. This past week, I reached out to all my vendors to see if there was anything they needed from me or what I needed to do to prep for this weekend. When I reached out to Leah, she told me she needed to reschedule. At this point, our weekend was packed beginning to end with vendor meetings (again, we are having an out of state wedding, so this was our only weekend in AZ to meet with people and prep things). She then told me to text her (we had done all previous communication over email), which I did. I told her that we were only here for this weekend, and that we had scheduled all of our flights and appointments around this trial that she previously agreed to (months in advance). Instead of taking accountability for her mistake, she first told me she had no record of the trial. A simple search for my name in her email inbox would have pulled up a thread with the subject line Bridal Hair/Makeup Trial. I forwarded her the email, to which her response was that because I emailed her, it wasn't recorded. She said her scheduling is done through a CRM and it didn't add to her calendar (again not taking accountability). She did try to reschedule me for the same weekend, but by then we had so many other meetings we would have had to arrange that none of the times she said she could reschedule worked for us. At this point, I had lost trust in her and was not comfortable or confident in her professionalism for my wedding day. I told her I wanted to terminate our contract. Only after I told her I wanted out of the contract did she tell me that she could make herself available on the original date and time. I requested a refund of my $200 deposit, and I understand that I did sign a contract acknowledging that it was non-refundable, but was hopeful that considering the situation was of no fault of my own, Leah would refund me. She has chosen to not refund the $200, which again, she is not contractually obligated to do, but considering that it is supposed to cover her communication and scheduling (I had to follow up with her when she did not reply to me, and clearly she did not even add my trial to her calendar) I am not sure that enough work was done to warrant $200. Had I been a local bride, this probably would not have been as big of an issue for me, but it was very clearly communicated to Leah that I was an out of state bride flying in for my trial. Canceling was not an emergency on Leah's part (at least not that she communicated), she was just moving studio locations and failed to add my appointment to her calendar. This whole situation happening less than 24 hours before I was supposed to leave for my trip was so stressful. I understand that mistakes happen, but this mistake was 100% avoidable, and Leah could have taken more accountability for the mistake from the jump instead of blaming it on other things. If you are a bride who values a trustworthy vendor with good communication, I would take your business elsewhere. *After I posted this review Leah did refund my money.*

I paid for 3 extra stylist and they went TWO HOURS over the time line and delayed the ceremony and ruined all my photos opportunities before the wedding. I will admit i did add flower girl hair last minute but there was 4 stylist and 9 women and they still were already way behind and still left only one stylist when we were so behind. I asked to add a 4 stylist (so a total of 5) and they told me no. Beyond disappointed they ruined my day and timeline. I will never get the chance back for the photos. Grateful we all looked good but would never recommend to anyone unless you plan on having your photo list cut in half since the don't stick to the timeline.

She was very considerate of the look I was going for and I was completely happy with the way it turned out. I didn't give her many instructions and that's the best thing cuz she knew exactly what would look good on me. She recommended to do a trial makeup done before the actual day which helped out as it made us get to know each other and also understand the colors that suit my face and eyes. I would recommend her to all of the brides to be as she is very accommodating to your schedule and trusted professional.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jazmin from Created Beauty Co for my wedding last June,…read moreand I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the trial to the big day, Jazmin was amazing--so sweet, kind, and easy to work with. She collaborated seamlessly with my hairstylist, which helped everything run smoothly. She made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout the process and absolutely nailed the look I was going for. I felt so beautiful, and I know my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law felt the same way. Not only is Jazmin talented, but she's also so knowledgeable--she shared helpful tips and tricks along the way that I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Jazmin for any event. She's a true professional with such a calming, lovely presence. You'll be in amazing hands!

I've dabbled in the makeup artist field before, but when it came time for my wedding, I was toying…read morewith the idea of outsourcing some of the selfcare/beauty routines in an attempt to alleviate some stress for myself and my bridal party. I stalked instagram for a while for makeup artists in AZ and came across Jazmins page and I was HOOKED. I followed her for a little while just to keep up with her bridal party looks to be sure that this was a commitment I was ready to make, and boy was my gut instinct right!! It was hard for me at first to take that "risk" and outsource something that I'm sure I could have done for myself, and coincidentally, even though I was in the industry myself for a short while, I've never had my full makeup done on myself before - so this was all new territory for me. So ... I held my tongue and didn't tell Jazmin (we can laugh about it now lol) at my trial about my time at MAC and freelance, only because I did NOT want her to feel any pressure (not that I have an ounce of HER talent whatsoever), but more that I wanted give her the space and let her do her thing and wave her brush like a magic wand around my face. She rocked it!! Her products, her technique, her customer service, everything was just an absolute treasure! I booked her officially for my wedding right then and there and opted for her to travel to the hotel to do my makeup and the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom - my girls all jumped in on this luxury treatment when they saw my trial and saw her social pages with such excitement. My bridal party was also quite diverse: blonde hair, red hair, black hair; Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern; girls in their 30's and mom's in their 60's - Jazmin and her assistant's artistry and care were INCREDIBLE!! Everyone was so impressed and beyond happy with their makeup looks; individualized for their features, and the longevity as well. THEN ... I committed the ultimate sin, on the day of the wedding, I changed my mind on what I wanted for my makeup - I'm an artist, it's hard to pick what I want for myself, since I have an appreciation for all things makeup lol - so, I told Jazmin, "just do what you want". I'm sure inside she had a heart attack, but on the outside she was as cool as a cucumber eye patch. We bonded over our MAC history, so when I dropped that bombshell on her, I just said "I'm a 35 lash girl, and I love me some warm soul ... you take it from there" .... AND SHE DID!!! I hope she's forgiven me by now lol. Not only did she help me to look like a bride, but because of her talent and her angel heart, I FELT like a bride. Booking Jazmin and having her at my hotel to do myself and my bridal party really did take off so much stress and make our morning so easy and so fun (we even had time to eat before the ceremony lol). I cannot recommend her enough - I've been able to send a few girls her way to also receive some star treatment and glam! Thank you Jazmin for everything!! Always looking forward to another session - and retiring my brushes!!

Love how lovely and how good she is. I had her as my make up artist and hair during my wedding.read more
