A super fashionable and talented hair & makeup artist helping ladies look fresh and flawless for their perfect day.
I was recommended by my friends and Sharon K. of Sharon Nicole Photography to hire Stephanie Martinez for my bridal hair and makeup. At the time, Stephanie was the lead artist for Flawless, which happened to close right before my wedding (eek!). Fortunately, Stephanie started her own company and graciously had me booked in no time. She is an on-site artist, which means that will meet you at your house, venue site, or preferred location, since she doesn't have her own studio. She's also very responsive and prompt via email, which is a major plus for me! When I first met Stephanie at my bridal portraits, I was stunned by how talented and fashionable she was. Not only is she young and gorgeous (which really says something about her hair & makeup skills!), but she is super sweet and great to work with. While she is very open to your ideas and preferences for hair & makeup, Stephanie can also do a great job without suggestions from brides like me who don't usually wear makeup or get their hair did frequently. (She even convinced me to try out false eyelashes, which I don't regret at all now that I look at my photos!) I also booked her for my bridal party on my wedding day (FYI - she offers a group discount for parties of 5 or more), and I thought she did a terrific job for all my bridesmaids and me! She pretty much works at a rate of 1 person an hour for hair and makeup, but she prefers that you hire her assistant if you have more than 5 people in your party. Although the makeup feels a little heavy at first, it definitely settles in and makes you look naturally fresh and flawless in photos. The hair & makeup also lasts through sweat and tears for hours too, which is a big plus for brides-to-be!
I highly recommend Stephanie Nicole Hair & Makeup to all Houston area brides - she's super talented and a great joy to work with! I'm definitely referring her to all my girlfriends who are getting married in the future! read more
