This is a long overdue review. Meaganne did my hair/makeup for both my engagement shots and my wedding a few years back. She did an amazing job. I loved her philosophy - which is to make her clients look like the best version of themselves, as opposed to caking on makeup in a way a bride would probably regret - and thought she executed it perfectly. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and thought my makeup looked 100 in the wedding photos. Equally important, she made me feel totally at ease both times we worked together, was very open to feedback, and was just plain fun to hang out with. For brides who aren't getting married in SF proper, Meaganne is willing to travel, which was super helpful. My wedding was in Los Gatos, and Meaganne didn't bat an eye making the hour+ drive, and navigating her way to our off-the-beaten-path venue. I think she may charge a small fee if she needs to travel more than a certain number of miles, but it was nominal and on par with what other makeup artists charge. I highly recommend Meaganne for your hair and makeup needs! read more

Meaganne is an absolute doll! She did my hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom for my September wedding in Calistoga. I had trial sessions with a couple other professionals in San Francisco, but once I met with Meaganne, I was hooked. I'm pretty picky about makeup - I don't wear foundation and HATE the feeling of having something caked on. But Meaganne knew exactly what to do to make me feel natural, confident, and ready to get married! She makes you feel and look like yourself and not some made up version of a typical bride. When I found out she also did hair, I gave her a try and loved every style she tested on me...it was honestly hard to choose! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and have since given her name to several people. Her prices are incredibly reasonable (far cheaper than the other trials I had), especially considering her level of talent. Not only is Meaganne incredibly talented, but she's a wonderful person to work with. She's kind, patient, and just an all around genuine, amazing person. You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, so I feel it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Meaganne. read more

Meaganne did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup at my wedding. She executed my hair and makeup "vision" perfectly and I've never felt more beautiful. My bridesmaids and my mother looked gorgeous as well. My mother received so many compliments, many people commented on how young she looked and she was even asked if she had any work done, little did they know it was the makeup! Not only did everyone's hair and makeup look good but it lasted all night! I would use Meaganne again in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm trying to think of other excuses to use her again. :) read more

Meaganne is incredibly talented in hair and makeup. We worked together for my wedding. She really listened to my concerns and created a beautiful look for me. Meaganne did the makeup for several people in my bridal party and brought along Sheila to do their hair. Everyone was so happy and we received countless compliments throughout the day. My mom was especially happy that her makeup stayed on the entire day because it's usually slid off by lunch time - Meaganne has amazing technique! My hair held the entire day and evening yet it wasn't stiff looking - it probably would've looked OK the next morning if I hadn't taken it down. Her prices are very reasonable considering how skilled she is. I wish she could do my makeup every day! Meaganne is a professional makeup artist and has a great eye. Hire her. You will not regret it. read more

I recently got married & had Meaganne do my hair & makeup (as well as my mom's) & she did a fabulous job on both of us. She made me look natural but still my best...not too overdone & totally me. I loved it & am so glad that I found her. She was very calm & easygoing which was nice to be around the day of the wedding - especially since everyone (myself/bridesmaids/mom) were all crazed!! Plus she comes to you - and was on time & very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

It doesn't get any better than this! Meaganne was an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day. The original MAC makeup artist I hired started flaking 2 weeks before my wedding. I found Meaganne through projectwedding.com and by some act of God she was available to do my wedding day makeup as well as my bridal party. We corresponded through email up until the big day. She addressed any questions or concerns I had, was prompt in responding, totally got the look I was going for and made me feel at ease. On the day of the wedding she was on time, friendly, professional and calm. She made everyone look gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with the results. I wish I could get married again just to have her do my makeup! read more

Meaganne is truly fantastic! She's so talented and an absolute delight to work with. I had her do a hair trial run, and my hair and makeup on my wedding day. My hair was exactly like the picture I sent, frankly I couldn't believe she pulled it off with my hair. My make up was absolutely lovely. Even my husband noticed it, both on the day and in the pictures. I looked radiant and glowing, not made up and stiff. I couldn't believe how flattering her work was, she really is a magician. Plus she's extremely knowledgeable about how things will photograph. The best part about working with Meaganne though, is how fun and relaxed she is. She spent three hours with me right before the ceremony, and it was just like hanging out with a close girlfriend. We sang along with the music and chattered away so the time flew. She kept me very relaxed, and I never felt like I was with a stranger. It really added a special touch to my day. Thank you Meaganne, I wish you could follow me around and make me look as good in my everyday life! read more

I am so happy that I found Meaganne! She is exactly what I was looking for in a wedding hair and make-up artist. First of all, let me say that there are a lot of people out there that tout themselves as hair AND make-up artists, but it is very rare that one person is actually good at doing both. Meaganne truly is. I have been fortunate enough to work with Meaganne 4 times over the last several months, starting with a trial for my wedding hair and make-up, through a couple of photo shoots and ending with my actual wedding day hair and makeup. Each time she was through with me I couldn't believe how flawless she made me look. I still looked like myself, which was very important to me, just a hotter and more beautiful version. I'd gone through a few disappointing experiences with other hair and make-up artists whose work looked amazing in their online portfolio, but when I tried them out they made me look like a painted poodle, no joke! And trying out a good hair and make-up artist isn't cheap, it can run around $200 - $250. That's why when Meaganne finished our first trial session, and I got a look in the mirror at what she'd done, I handed her a check to reserve my wedding date right away. She is super easy to work with, a very charming and mellow person and very willing to work with me in terms of scheduling (and rescheduling!) various appointments. She was always where she said she would be when she said she would be, which is critical. Paying her was also very convenient since she accepts Paypal in addition to personal checks. Her work, as I've mentioned is amazing. She uses very high quality products which are very long lasting. For my engagement photo shoot she did my make up at 10am and it still looked perfect when we started shooting at 5:30pm (no touch-ups.) My wedding day make-up, which she did early in the morning, lasted throughout the night. And I don't know how she did it, but she always made my hair look soft and beautiful, not hair sprayed to death. Bottom line, she made me feel absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to have another occasion to work with her again. read more

Meaganne is the most brilliant make up artist - when I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding I was having a really hard time finding someone who didn't look like they would give me giant crunchy ringlets and that overly made up typical bride makeup. I deliberately searched out someone who did beautiful commercial makeup rather than mostly bridal. Meaganne does the most gorgeous natural looking make up - she made me as well as all of my bridesmaids glow. Every one looked dewy and gorgeous! Everyone who sees the photos wants to know who did the make up and all my vendors, who have seen loads of weddings have asked me for her info, they were so impressed. On top of that, she's just a pleasure to work with - easy going, relaxed, but totally efficient and cool and collected. I'd give her 10 stars if I could! If you need a makeup artist, don't even bother looking anywhere else, Meaganne is without a doubt the one to go with! read more

Meaganne is incredibly talented and professional. She did my makeup and hair and also makeup/hair for the bridal party. We were all amazed at her speed and how beautiful she made everyone look! We had very vague ideas about what we wanted, but she used her professional judgment to make us all look our best. One of my bridesmaids commented that having her with us at our hotel suite was great because she is just like another girlfriend in the mix. It's so true! Meaganne is very prompt, responsive, considerate, and easy going. I am so happy that I got introduced to her! read more

Meaganne did an outstanding job on my bridal hair and makeup earlier this month! We did a trial run in January and I liked her work and calm, friendly demeanor so much that I didn't hesitate to book her for my wedding day. I didn't have a bridal party but she did makeup for my mom and sister and a couple of girlfriends; everyone was very happy with the results. I'm grateful to Meaganne for making me feel beautiful and like the best version of myself on the big day. I also really appreciate how responsive and helpful she was over email. I highly recommend her services! read more

Meaganne is awesome! This was my first time going to a professional make-up artist so I was a little nervous, but Meaganne quickly put me at ease and created a perfect, natural, "smoky eyes" look which was perfect for some headshots I was getting done. I couldn't have been happier with the results. She even used false eyelashes which were fun and blended in well with the rest of the makeup. Very little touchup was needed even though my photo shoot was hours after the makeup session. On top of that, she had done my hair too which lasted all day, through the shoot, and for a night out that evening. Meaganne is fun, professional and a true artist! I can't wait to go back. read more

Meaganne has done my makeup for a couple of big events now, and I've been thrilled with the results both times. She made me look so glamorous! I always recommend her to friends. She's done hair and make up for two of my friends' weddings, and they looked fantastic. Meaganne is truly gifted at what she does, plus a delight to work with - a kind, calm presence amidst the flurry of pre-party prep. Highly recommended! read more

I don't even know where to begin this review since I have so many good things to say about Meaganne! She is unbelievably talented, incredibly kind, and very professional. I had the pleasure of working with her for both my engagement photo shoot and my wedding, and hiring her was by far one of the best decisions I made throughout the planning process. She made me, my bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law feel gorgeous and confident, which is no easy feat since we range in age between 23 and 67! This speaks to Meaganne's ability to truly listen to what people want, as well as have the talent to deliver really beautiful looks. She also has a wonderfully honest and calming energy. This is exactly the kind of person you want with you as you are getting ready on the big day! I HIGHLY recommend Meaganne to anyone and everyone; she is all-around fantastic! read more

I used Meaganne to do my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot last month and it looked fabulous! I don't wear much makeup on a day to day basis so I was a bit nervous when she started pulling primers, false eyelashes, etc... out of her bag. It did feel like a lot of makeup when I left the studio, but she was totally right that it looked awesome in the photos and like I was barely wearing anything. It was exactly what I wanted and what I described. She isn't sure if she's available for my wedding, but if she is I will definitely use her! read more

Meaganne is the perfect choice for wedding hair and make-up. I found her through yelp reviews and I could not be more happy. She works wonders especially on a stressed out bride. She really took the time to hear what I was looking for and provide her expert opinion. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic thanks to Meaganne. If you are looking for a hair and make-up artist, look no further - she is the one! read more

Meaganne McCandess - Meaganne putting on the final touches ... - Makeup Artists Near Me

Meaganne is great!! She did my hair and make-up at my wedding and I couldn't believe how unbelievable the transformation was. Especially for someone like me, I only wear a limited amount of make-up every day (if at all) and I would have been a disaster doing it myself. She is also incredibly patient and calm and gives great tips and advice. I also liked how, when she had a bit of down time, she offered to re-touch my niece's hair. Book her early....her calendar fills up quickly! read more

Meaganne I can recommend Meaganne most highly. She did the hair and makeup for our bride and her attendants in Tiburon CA a few weeks ago. Meaganne is very professional and easy to work with. She really listens to the customer. The "practice" session she had with the bride went really well so we were confident that on the big day all the girls would look great. Meaganne is comfortable doing very light makeup or the "bling" of lashes etc. She came to the Tiburon Lodge and set up shop there working amidst all the hoopla of the pre-wedding readiness. All the photos of the wedding are amazing and Meaganne should be really proud that she accentuated the natural beauty of all our lovely women. read more

I don't even have the adequate words to express how amazing my experience with Meaganne has been. She did hair for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom for my wedding 3 days ago. Everyone's hairstyle was so different and suited their unique style and personality so well -- I really don't know how she managed to give each of 6 vastly different women their own perfect look, but she did. My mom and sister are especially picky and self-conscious when it comes to their hair, and they were both totally blown away! What was just as important, for me, was the fact that Meaganne was a grounded, calming presence on my wedding day. She even helped me by giving me tips and breathing exercises to soothe and center me when I was feeling like crawling out of my skin. She saved my life and made me look more beautiful than I've ever looked in my life. And best of all, I looked like myself, not some overly-made-up version of your typical bride. And it lasted ALL NIGHT -- and NO ONE dances as energetically as I do (seriously)! I can't recommend her highly enough. Book Meaganne McCandess and don't look back!! read more

This woman essentially sent me into cardiac arrest. After I had already set up a trial date with her, she gave me the impression that there was no rush to put a deposit down on my wedding date, and that if anyone wanted my date she'd let me know ASAP, as all vendors do out of courtesy. My videographer, my photographer, my florist...all of them let me know if someone was interested in my date, and CALLED to tell me. Not only did they call and tell me, but because I had contacted them FIRST, they honored this, and let me decide then and there if I wanted to put down a deposit. This is pretty standard behavior--what you would expect of any professional. Therefore, I also expected this of Meaganne. Clearly...my mistake. Instead of calling or emailing me, Meaganne didn't even mention that she GAVE my spot away. It took me emailing her to "check in" to find out 10 days later. What if I hadn't emailed her? Her excuse to me was, "The truth is that I receive dozens of inquiries per week." Sorry, let me just apologize for having bothered you with yet another inquiry. Aside from taking days to respond to emails, she is clearly not a woman of her word, nor does she treat you with the standard courtesy of all other vendors on the planet. For a day as special as your wedding--I would in no way shape or form recommend someone as irresponsible as Meaganne McCandess. read more

Meaganne's work is awesome. She did hair and makeup for me and my MOH on my wedding day. Our initial "practice" session resulted in a hairstyle that I didn't quite like very much (this was due to my inability to articulate what I wanted), but she was more than happy to accomodate me and do another trial session and she came up with a style that was perfect! She gave me suggestions on hairstyles that would work with my thin hair and also what would best suit my face. My makeup looked very natural and stayed on through the entire wedding, considering that it rained the entire day. She was calm and collected and friendly throughout the entire morning and made me feel so comfortable. I was so happy that I picked her! read more

I have literally never written a review on Yelp before, but I adore Meaganne so much that I had to write one for her this time. Meaganne and her team of exceptional professionals helped me and my bridesmaids and flower girls get ready for my wedding this past weekend and the results were absolutely stunning. From the very first day that I did my trial with Meaganne, I knew that she was perfect--I had met with two other people already and been disappointed but not quite sure why. I didn't really know what I was looking for, but I knew I hadn't found it yet. When I met with her, she was not only calming, kind, and easy to talk to, but she spent two hours with me patiently preparing a look that I adored. She was open to hearing about the looks I hadn't liked in the past and listened to what was important to me with a totally open mind. I suddenly realized that what I loved about her was that she brought so much experience to our conversation that she knew how to direct my half-assed sense of what I was hoping to do and turn it in to something great. Between then and the wedding, Meaganne was easy to reach by email the couple of times that I had to touch base with her for a follow-up question and always very encouraging. I never felt like I was bothering her to ask a clarifying question, even when I felt guilty for emailing with something silly and small. Then, the day of the wedding, she and her team brought so much joy, life, and focus to our busy get ready room. Even though we were all buzzing around her and laughing and chatting loudly, they managed to quickly pull together a perfect look for every single one of us, and well ahead of schedule. Again, Meaganne's ability to have a vision and go with it without sacrificing what we each wanted in our look was something we truly appreciated the day of. I will never forget the first time I looked at myself in the mirror--I was so shocked at how gorgeous I looked. We all got compliments throughout the entire rest of the night and the best part was that I looked exactly the same at 4 AM as I did when she had left. Somehow, my make-up and hair had miraculously stayed perfectly together for twelve whole hours! I cannot recommend Meaganne highly enough. She made my other friends who had been brides already regret that they hadn't worked with her and she is someone who deserves all the best. If you are a nervous bride who just wants someone with a strong sense of style and talent to turn your rough sketch of what you want in to something better than you ever dreamed of, then work with her! read more

I cannot rave loudly or enthusiastically enough to do justice to the magical artistry of Meaganne McCandess. After she did the makeup for my friend's wedding (in which I was a bridesmaid, and after which all my friends were dazzled and awed by how good I looked, haha), I decided to book her for my wedding for myself and my bridesmaids. Let me start by saying that I am NOT a makeup and hair kind of girl. The ponytail is my friend, and at best you might find me in lipstick and mascara on a night out. The genius of Meaganne is that she totally makes you up without making you LOOK totally made up. My now-husband likes me looking more natural (as do I), and yet Meaganne's make-up (which includes the most incredible false eyelashes ever -- TRUST HER on this one) works transformative powers you have never before seen. She creates an incredibly natural, healthy look that simply makes any person look absolutely stunning. I don't know how she does it, I really don't. Every other makeup artist I have ever encountered, even if they do good work, makes you look "made-up." Meaganne somehow just makes you look like the flawless version of yourself. Oh and I should add that for my trial, I thought I wanted a kind of Hepburn updo, and so Meaganne spent two hours creating this masterful bun. Yet when she finished, although it looked incredible, I realized that it would seem a bit too formal for my outdoor, ranch-style wedding. So I asked her instead to try something different, and she patiently and without a complaint spent another two hours redoing it all. :) AND she came up with the most beautiful side-swept bun you have ever seen. Literally my friends posted facebook pictures JUST OF MY HAIR. It was gorgeous, stayed in all night through my very enthusiastic dancing, and just looked sleek and beautiful through my sweaty escapades. GENIUS! You get the feeling that Meaganne genuinely wants you to look beautiful, and she definitely has the skills to make that happen. Oh and i should add that my friend's wedding was kind of funky-eclectic, and so the make-up and hair was kind of hip and edgy, whereas mine was a bit more traditional, and yet she was totally able to do all the different looks with ease. Hire Meaganne. You will not be disappointed! read more

Meaganne McCandess: Words cannot express how wonderful Meaganne is. Not only does she do amazing hair and make-up she is incredibly kind and caring. Meaganne was ever so patient with me as I changed hairstyles and the direction of my make-up twice before the wedding. She even took time out of her busy schedule to do a second trial with me two weeks before my wedding to make sure I was totally comfortable with my wedding day look. I had a large bridal party of six bridesmaids and she coordinated a perfect timeline by bringing in two additional colleagues to help with hair and make-up. The schedule put me at ease and kept us right on time. Meaganne's personal nature can't be beat. On my wedding day in October 2014, I probably looked like a deer in headlights and she picked up on that. In doing so she talked to me by giving me tips and letting me know all the emotions I was feeling were totally normal. I was a little hurried during the last ten minutes before having pictures taken (it look a while to get in the dress) so I didn't feel like I got a chance to give Meaganne a proper "thank you" but the big hug she gave me as I rushed out the door was so calming that I don't what to thank her for more...making my hair and make-up look flawless or being so sweet to me on my wedding day. If ever I need hair and make-up done again for a future event, I for sure know who to call. read more

Finding hair and makeup folks for your wedding can be a bit stressful. Meaganne made my life very easy by being very flexible, easy to work with and responsive. I loved the photos on her website and she does both hair and makeup. I ended up finding a makeup artist I liked and requested Meaganne do the wedding parties' hair. I went for a test run and was immediately thrilled about choosing Meaganne. She has a very chill and laid back attitude and she clearly knew what she was doing. I brought her a photo of a style I liked and she styled my hair beautifully. She picked up some extensions for me the week before the wedding so that the style would be even more full and beautiful and saved me the time of having to go and get them. She did an amazing job with everyone's hair (including the people with short hair that were hesistant to have anyone mess with it). My sister had chin length hair and Meaganne created this amazing up-do (without extensions) that made my sister look amazing. My hair turned out beautiful and she fashioned my birdcage veil and flower clip perfectly. I was thrilled with the results. Meaganne also helped keep me calm on the morning of the wedding. It is very stressful and she gave me some tips for keeping the environment and personalities in harmony and I am grateful to her for keeping me calm. Finally, she followed us to the wedding venue to do a last minute touch up (which ended up being very necessary) and this follow up showed her true professionalism and attention to detail. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her. read more

Meaganne McCandess - Makeup Artists Near Me

"Spectacular" does not even begin to describe Meaganne. From the first email through the wedding itself, Meaganne was 100% professional and exceeded my every expectation. I'm a make-up lover, and have pretty high standards when it comes to the "look" that I wanted for my Big Day. Meaganne listened to my every word, and at the trial, knocked it out of the ballpark (including my hair)! The wedding day itself was no exception. She also did the make-up for my Mom, Maid of Honor, and Bridesmaid -- all of whom looked beyond amazing and were thrilled to death with their finished product! Besides the fact that you will look over-the-top amazing, Meaganne has this calmness and 'Zen' vibe that totally puts you at ease. I swear she just radiates kindness and serenity -- you'll never want her to leave! I hated saying goodbye to her and only hope that one day I'll have an excuse to have her work her magic again. She's worth every penny and I can't recommend her more for your wedding or other extra special event -- Don't even bother calling anyone else!!! read more

Meaganne is amazing! I just had my hair and makeup trial for my wedding, and she did an incredible job! I was so impressed by how talented she is at both hair and the makeup! She is patient and really wants to make sure that you are happy with the look. She listens to your vision, and then, she checks in with you to make sure that you like it. This was my 3rd trial, and with the other 2, I felt that the stylists were more anxious to move on to their next appointments than to make sure that I was happy with the look. I wish that I had found Meaganne earlier, but I am so thankful that I was able to get an appointment with her. Save money on the bad trials, and call Meaganne! I am so excited to see her again on wedding day! read more

Meaganne is awesome!! She did my hair and makeup, my bridesmaids' makeup, and my mom's makeup for my June wedding at The Ranch Golf Club. I couldn't believe how amazing everyone looked and Meaganne was able to make everyone look both beautiful and unique. She used airbrush foundation which felt and looked natural and looked fabulous in pictures. My makeup lasted all night even with all of our crazy dancing!! Not only did Meaganne do a fabulous job with hair and makeup, but her calm and soothing personality helped center me throughout the day. Meaganne made sure I was eating and drinking enough water all morning and even talked me through some deep breathing exercises. All of my bridesmaids and mom were extremely happy with how their makeup turned out and it made for a fun morning. I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Meaganne and I highly recommend her for your wedding. Thank you for everything :) read more

Meaganne is amazing!!!!! She did my hair and makeup for my boudoir photo shoot. I did not know my fine, thin hair could look so voluminous and sexy! My makeup was flawless and beautiful. She is very professional and really sweet. The photographer loved the results and was very impressed. If I ever need my hair or makeup done again for a special occasion again I will definitely be calling her. I highly recommend her! read more

This review is regrettably 2 years late- Meaganne did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August 2012. She also did several of my bridesmaids - we all loved the results :) Meaganne was great to work with from the initial consultation through the wedding- she is laid back, warm and friendly. I also really appreciated her organization and planning ahead- the wedding was in Sonoma and coming from San Francisco, she made sure to build in enough time that even though there was a fluke traffic problem on the Golden Gate Bridge that day, they still arrived with plenty of time. Definitely book her for your wedding! read more

Meaganne is an absolute joy to work with. She did my hair and make-up for my wedding this June (as well as that of my family members). She did an unbelievable job. I've honestly never felt so beautiful in my life. She really listened to what each of us wanted and created the perfect looks that fit us individually. I received so many compliments on both my hair and make-up and how they naturally highlighted my features beautifully - which is exactly what I wanted. Also, the hair and make-up lasted perfectly from 11:30am to midnight, only requiring the most minor lip gloss touch-up (despite over 80 degree heat)! Also, I did a trial with Meaganne months before our wedding where I showed up over 30 minutes late due to crazy 49ers traffic. I felt terrible, but despite waiting for all that time (and being pregnant!), Meaganne didn't rush at all. She took her time to create the perfect look and was super friendly and fun the whole time. She played such an integral role in making the wedding into an incredibly special day and she did it in such a kind and calm demeanor - I'm so happy I chose to work with Meaganne! read more

I loved working with Meaganne for my wedding hair and make up. After searching and searching, I was referred to Meaganne through a few friends. She is very talented, patient, calm, and understanding. She has a great sense of style and what looks best on a bride in the natural sense. She spent a lot of time during my hair/makeup trial to make sure that the look of my hair/makeup was what I wanted. I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone getting married. She is a wonderful person, professional and fun to work with! read more

Meaganne and I just worked on a high-end fashion/boudoir shoot in San Francisco. Not only was she incredible responsive to all the details of the shoot (3 models, various start times, different hair styling needs) but she showed up early and left late. She created styles for the models that were creative, polished and unique. She made me look amazing because she made my models look magazine ready and seductive. JUST the look I needed for this shoot. Hire Meaganne, she's a true artist. read more

I just used Meaganne for my wedding hair and make-up and she knocked it out of the park. I showed her pics of what I wanted and she executed to perfection. She really understands make-up and how to tweak things specifically for you. I received tons of compliments on my hair on my wedding day. My make-up and hair stayed in perfect place all night long. She is so easy going and lovely to work with. She also did the hair for all my bridesmaids and everyone loved it! I can't wait to use her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone! And trust me, I am very picky and really did my research on hair/make-up artists prior to my wedding. She is a little on the expensive side but I do believe she's worth it. read more

Meaganne McCandess - 9.10.11 Wedding Hair & Make-up - Makeup Artists Near Me

Meaganne was absolutely fabulous. I got married 11/8/08 and I am so thankful to have had Meaganne do my makeup and hair. I had had a couple of pre-wedding make-up and hair consultation and was unhappy with them, and began believing I would not find anyone to do my makeup. One of my bridesmaids had recently been in her sister's wedding and had her makeup and hair done by Meaganne, she contacted Meaganne to see if she was available. She was supposed to go out of town, but Meaganne offered to stay home in order to do our wedding makeup. She came to my home and I had the consultation and she made me feel very comfortable. When Meaganne is doing your makeup you feel safe in knowing that she knows exactly what she is doing. I am so very happy with how the hair and makeup turned out, I felt so beautiful and glamorous and she gave me and my girls the experience we were all looking for. I only wish I could get married again and again (to the same man of course) so that I could be pampered again. Thank you Meaganne! read more

I cannot say enough about Meaganne and her incredible work! She did my hair and make up for my wedding in September, as well as both moms' hair and make up, and my bridal party's make up. I was thrilled with the result!! She is not only uniquely talented, but she is so utterly professional and kind. She listened to what every woman wanted, and provided the perfect service for each. And somehow she kept us all calm and sane. It was a bit daunting to find someone that could make me look like myself on my wedding day and at the same time really special. Meaganne exceeded my expectations and I trusted her 100%. Truly, she is part of some of my favorite memories of my wedding day. We all glowed all day and all night (and we started at 6:30 am!). If there was room to give her another star, I would!!! read more

meaganne was uh-may-zing. period. she has an unbelievable attention to detail and made me feel really gorgeous and my *very* long hair was coiffed into a perfect and stunningly complex updo that looked great with my feather hairpiece. my makeup was stellar too. my skin looked great all day/night and she was able to add additional eyelashes in meticulous perfect order so that my makeup looked flawless literally down to the last lash. i couldn't have been happier with meaganne's work and the biggest pleasure was how completely sweet and easy to be around she is! she was recommended by many people including our kick-ass wedding planner (brittani from dream a little dream events) and i would hire her again in a minute. i recommend her extremely highly! read more

It's been more than a year since Meaganne did my hair and makeup for my wedding. I CANNOT remember why I did not give my favorite wedding vendor a review until a friend asked for my MUA name for her friend's wedding. I had trial sessions with two other MUA (very popular and highly rated on Yelp and Project Wedding). I love the hair of one, but not 100% on the makeup. As for the other, the makeup was great, but not the hair. Generally, they did great but I am just super picky. Then I had a trial session with Meaganne, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for both makeup and hair. She was communicative and put me at ease immediately. I booked her on the spot. I was recovering from a very bad skin reaction and was worried. She was patient and gave me lots of tips on how to prepare for the day, which was very helpful. On the actual day, she was punctual and timed herself very well. Everything was done beautifully and on time. She really has the ability/skills to transform one. My friends were very impressed too. She did my mom's hair and makeup too. My mom never had a "makeover" since her own wedding and Meaganne definitely made her day! I would definitely engage her help again for a special event. Thank you, Meaganne! read more

WOW! Meaganne is an absolute pro! She did my hair and makeup and both turned out stunning. She did a great job listening to my vision and gave me what I was looking for - only much better! My hair turned out great and was very secure (it held the entire night!) without being stiff and over-styled. She did wonders with my makeup. She was able to give me a soft and natural look and covered all of my skin's imperfections. She really knew what style of makeup would play to my best features. I also loved how Meaganne has this calmness about her. It was very nice to be around someone so calm on a day that can be so crazy. I was thrilled with my hair and makeup and I would recommend Meaganne in a heartbeat! read more
