Absolutely incredible experience with Colie Marie Artistry!…read more I had microneedling done and I was honestly blown away--it was literally painless, which I didn't expect at all. Colie is beyond meticulous with her work, taking her time to make sure every detail is perfect and that you feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I also had a lash lift and brow lamination, and the results are AMAZING. Everything looks so natural, clean, and beautifully enhanced. You can truly tell she takes pride in what she does and genuinely cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, gentle, and extremely detail-oriented, I cannot recommend her enough!

Blossom and Beauty is a 15/10!! When I inquired about information for a potential wedding hair and…read moremake up artist, they were quick to respond right away with all the information I needed. One major request was I wanted the CEO/ Owner of Blossom and Beauty to do my hair and make up for my wedding day. She reached out and she said of course she would. You know when you speak to someone for the first time and just know that they have good energy/vibes? Well that was my first impression of Jasmin. I instantly knew I wanted her and her team to be our make up/ hair team for my wedding day. I felt like their prices were very reasonable! Their studio is so clean and nice. Jasmin listened to all my concerns and I provided her with Pinterest pictures at my make up trial appointment. I was also running 10 mins behind because I was lost trying to find the studio. (I'm bad at directions lol) and she was very understanding about it. Another reason why I gave them a 15/10 because I had originally messed up on the amount of girls getting their hair done. They were able to accommodate my bridesmaid to get her hair done because they had finished earlier than expected. I was so thankful that they were able to fix MY mistake. Now onto the quality of work. Jasmin and Shelby did such amazing work for my bridesmaids and I. The way she did my wedding hair was different than the trial and to be honest I loved it even more! That's when I knew she was an expert at this! My make up was so flawless. My bridesmaids were also happy with their hair and make up. From my experience, they are the best of the best in Portland! Book with them and you will be happy that you did!

From the moment she arrived,…read moreshe brought the best energy and made the entire getting-ready experience so fun and relaxed.

Vicky truly knows how to bring out the best in everyone while keeping the vibe light, calm, and exciting. She kept us on schedule, made us laugh, and made the whole morning feel special.

From the moment I booked her services online, she was kind, patient, and super quick to email me back and answer any questions that I had. She never left me hanging. We scheduled a trial run for my make-up, and Moriah was so gracious when she came to my home. She was right on time, and also so incredibly warm and reassuring. I felt like I had an old friend in my house, and I could have hung out with her all day! Her heart of gold aside, this girl knows her make-up, ya'll. She is incredibly talented! Cat eye? No problem. Fake lashes? Please. She's got you. I gave her very little direction because I didn't really know what I wanted, and she somehow crawled into my thoughts and made me look like a (MUCH) better version of myself! On the wedding day, Moriah took her A-game to even the next level. She was early to the venue (which I REALLY appreciated), and she was all set up and ready to go by the time we girls got our act together. It was like herding cats the day of the wedding, and Moriah was so patient and helpful. Oh, and did I mention this poor soul had to drive all the way out to Hood River for our wedding? Well, she did. She did, and she didn't complain once! She did my best friend's make-up, my mother-in-law, my mom's, and my bridal make-up. She made every person that sat in her chair feel special, pretty, and pampered. My friends and family all totally loved her, and each said Moriah was the best make-up artist they had ever encountered. She turned all of our fresh faces and tired eyes into something amazing! I am telling you, my make-up looked EXACTLY the way I envisioned it. The colors, the lashes, the "look".....she nailed it. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Moriah- whatever they are paying you, it's not enough! You are a master of make-up! Give this girl a raise!

Hiring Shawna for my June 2024 wedding hair and make-up was one of the best wedding planning…read moredecisions I made! Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

She was punctual, personable and amazing at taking what we wanted and making it work for the outside space we were spending our 'big day' in. I got so many incredible compliments on the work that Nikki did and I literally can't imagine having any one else there with me doing my hair or makeup. She's one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone! I have to add, Nikki was incredible with the way she communicated with us. She never let an email go more than 12 hours before following up and I never felt like I wasn't her #1 priority!

She understood exactly what we were looking for before we could even articulate it and we both have never felt more beautiful and like ourselves than on our wedding day. We love you, Nikki!!

Over the weekend I celebrated my 10 year anniversary. We had plans for a really nice dinner and…read morewere getting dressed up... so I really wanted my makeup to look amazing. I do my makeup most days but I struggle with a lot of it. It's just never been something I'm super good at. Especially when it comes to eyeshadow/liner/lashes. I knew I wanted to have someone do it professionally but I was nervous finding someone on such short notice (a little less than 2 weeks). I came across Cristina's instagram page while searching. I saw she did lashes but also did makeup and I immediately sent her an email. Her work was beautiful and I wanted to reach out and get more info. We spoke briefly and she was able to make room and fit me in on the day of my anniversary! She's so professional, kind, and sweet. And she really knows what she's doing! She answered all my questions, gave me some make up tips, and sent me home with a touch up kit. My makeup looked absolutely gorgeous. It could have not been any better. I was so incredibly happy and I felt beautiful all night. I really didn't want to take it off when the night ended! If you're looking for a makeup artist in Portland, Cristina is definitely your person!

I am a former esthetician and lash artist, so I am very very picky. Cristina was so so so sweet, I snored and probably farted a number of times, but she didn't say a word. And the LASHES amazing. Fans are perfectly spaced and applied, the bond is strong, and mapping gave the set the perfect shape for my eyes/ face shape. Additionally, her lashing set up is extremely comfortable. She has a large cushy recliner and, as someone who never falls asleep anywhere but a bed, I napped through the entire set. Lashes aren't, and shouldn't be, cheap. These are true quality products, true quality training, and true quality human being at work. You get what you pay for every single time.

The appointment was canceled by the provider; the gratuity was refunded, but the service fee was retained despite the service not being completed.

I hired Kelli for my July 2022 wedding. Ultimately, I found her to be incredibly rigid, hard to…read morework with and unreasonable. I think she probably sees herself as a stealthy business woman, making sure to look out for her own best interests (which would be something I can appreciate). However, her inability to compromise or even communicate clearly when a resolution is needed are not the qualities of a good small business owner. What's really frustrating though, is that after all her shortcomings on the business side of things, she absolutely does not make up for it in the realm of talent. When I initially experienced how cold Kelli can be in her emails, I thought "well, if she communicates this poorly but still has good reviews, she must be REALLY good at what she does." No. I will leave it at that--the answer is no. I thought about writing out all the details of my experience with Kelli, but then this review would be way too long. I will just say that by the end of my interactions with her I had given up. Every email she sent left me feeling more upset than the last, and I didn't want that kind of energy leading up to my wedding. Rather than seeking a fair resolution or any of my money back I chose to just pay her the remaining balance owed, take the services she was willing to give me, and then never talk to her again. To you, Kelli: I get that you deal with a lot of weddings and contracts all the time. But for me, this was my wedding. It was a very special day for me. And I wanted to be able to talk to you, as a real person and as the artist that you claim to be. Instead, I got a cold robot who quoted the contract at me every time I tried to have an open conversation about what I needed. It made me feel like we were at odds instead of being on the same team. There is a difference between being direct and being abrasive. You can be direct and still be friendly. In the end, when I told you I was upset and why, the attempt you made at having a warm, positive tone came across as insincere and condescending. Also, the fact that you didn't even check your own contract before mis-quoting it at me repeatedly added a whole new layer of confusion to our already frustrating communications. UPDATE: A day or two after I posted this review Kelli emailed me reminding me of a clause in my contract regarding reviews and asking me to take this review down. (Everything else that was said in her long email just solidly reinforced my previous experience of her.) I was aware of the clause and am not in breach of it, so will not be removing my review. It makes you wonder though, if there have been other poor reviews that went unposted due to that clause.
