I cannot possibly recommend Lexi highly enough. I got married on July 20th and Lexi took care of…read morehair and make-up for me and my bridal party, and everyone looked and felt incredible. I had a trial a few months prior where we got to talk about my ideas and concerns and Lexi was an expert listener, clarified what I meant, asked for input, and explained her rationale when giving suggestions. I have long, super fine, super curly hair and I'm always a little anxious letting anyone else do it, but Lexi was a pro. The style held up through the night and looked great in photos. No smoothing down frizzies or constantly tucking in bobby pins! I don't usually wear a ton of make-up and wanted to look like myself, and Lexi was totally on board for my vision. We tweaked a couple things day-of (softening the contour, change up the lip color a little bit) and it turned out so perfect in photos. But the thing that impressed me the most was Lexi's ability to be flexible and inclusive of the needs of my bridal party. I had an attendant who had recently come out as non-binary, and was feeling anxious about the hair/make-up process, not wanting to feel forced into a style that was too femme. They were unable to do a trial due to living out of state, but Lexi had them find photos of styles they were drawn to and send them along. She was patient as my attendant waded through the options to find something that felt right, and when they landed on the style they liked, Lexi totally delivered. She listened carefully, adjusted to their needs, and they felt so seen, heard, and loved in the process. It totally changed the tone of the day for them. They went from worrying about feeling out of place to feeling like they could be 100% themself. It made me so happy. THANK YOU, Lexi! You're amazing!!

I highly recommend Lexi for makeup application and lessons…read more She is a great combination of a creative individual and a smart business woman. She is incredibly professional--on time, communicates well, confirms, and organized. Her work is amazing. She can help you highlight your natural beauty and also accentuate different things depending on the event or whether the makeup is for video or photography. I hired her for business projects, and she immediately understood the look that would be appropriate for work. She uses great products, is open to using what you already own, explains her process, and is, of course, very talented at applying makeup! I had tired two other people before I found her, and I'm so excited to work with. She is very, very good. You will not regret hiring her. I've hired three times in the last two months and I already have 3 more appointments set with her.

I already booked my next appointment One thing to note: they do have a strict cancellation policy, but it's clearly communicated upfront. I understood that if I had to cancelled, I would still be charged for their time and the reserved slot, which is totally fair. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone professional, talented, and reliable!

But then I realized - Olivia is too fantastic and phenomenal to not sing her praises immediately. From the moment I met Olivia for my wedding make-up trial, I immediately felt like I had known her my whole life. Olivia has such grace, poise, elegance, and a presence about her that you instantly feel at ease. She listens wholeheartedly and is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You may be asking yourself, "what do character traits have to do with her skills as a make up artist?" My answer: everything. Olivia puts such thought and carefulness into her work as an artist and ensures that her clients are completely satisfied. She is extremely knowledgeable about the products and is always willing to take the time to educate you. I can honestly say that I have never felt prettier than when Olivia did my make-up for my wedding. Almost every compliment I received that day revolved around my beautiful, glowing skin and how natural it looked. I am not the kind of girl who wears a lot of make-up so I was hesitant in finding a wedding make-up artist that could truly capture who I am and would not turn me into someone or something I did not want to be. So from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you, Olivia, for being such an integral part of my wedding day. You truly are an incredible artist and wonderful person!

I had my wedding makeup done by Olivia and I absolutely LOVED my experience from start to finish!…read moreIt takes a lot for me to trust someone with my makeup and Olivia went above & beyond! She was so kind, patient and attentive during the entire process. When we set up my first makeup trial, she really took the time to study inspo photos so that we could achieve the exact look I wanted for my wedding day. She even offered to do a second trial on the day of my rehearsal dinner so that we could really dial in the final look! On the day of the wedding, she single-handedly did makeup for my 6 bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and officiant. She was so on top of things that we were ahead of schedule! She had such a calming & joyful presence which made each person feel so at ease and comfortable. Working with her was such a dream and the best decision I ever made! Thank you, Olivia, for being such a special part of my big day! I will never stop recommending you to any and all who are getting married! xo

I appreciated that I felt and looked like myself for each look, and her eye for detail is spectacular. Abhilasha was so on-time and I was ready early for every single event! This made the rest of the wedding schedule feel less hectic, and I had a little more time to myself before each event. A member of Abhilasha's team, Leeza, did makeup and draping for my bridal party. Everyone was so happy with how their makeup turned out, and she was so great at working diligently but quickly.

She said she was honored that she I booked her and can trust her. She made me feel very comfortable with booking her. The day of my trial, Gina drove to me and brought her whole glam setup.
