From the get go, communication was great and she was super flexible after our photographer had to change dates. She came to our house and was prompt and incredibly sweet. She did such a great job! She was able to really enhance their beauty, yet still keep them looking natural and not too heavily made up. The girls were hesitant about false lashes at first but they were very natural and completed the look beautifully. I'm so glad I decided to invest in professional make up for these photos. They just wouldn't have been the same without her touch.

I had a makeup lesson with Brittany to refresh my routine and products. Before the lesson, she was…read morevery detailed with what I could expect to walk away with and she did not disappoint! We had a 2-hour makeup lesson where we did my makeup from start to finish. She did half my face and then I would practice on the other side so she could correct pressure, application, etc. She is a great teacher, very patient and makes you feel very comfortable! She also integrated some of my existing products and brushes, which I loved! I was hoping to refresh my everyday look and the final look was exactly what I was hoping for! She also taught me a few tricks to help elevate for a going out look. After the lesson, she emailed me detailed notes about the application and which additional brushes and products I could add into my existing routine. Her level of detail, responsiveness, and her ability to teach really sets her apart. I highly recommend her. She is fantastic!

I've gone to her twice so far for makeup and hair when I had to go to an event where I knew my introverted self would be uncomfortable...and she is so great about making me feel relaxed and confident.

Everything turned out beautifully and held up perfectly throughout the night. I received so many compliments! Loved the vibe and sipping on some Waterloo while I was getting glammed up! The booking process was seamless, and she was super responsive whenever I had questions. It made everything stress-free and easy. 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!

I had showed an inspo of what I wanted and makeup was nothing like the picture. Normally when I get makeup done it takes artists an hr but my makeup was completed in like 30 min. It looked like she probably uses the same products on everyone as there was no variety of items. My skin looked patchey and not blended. Alla was a nice sweet person so I still paid and didn't say anything but I was not happy with my result ! I felt ugly for my baby shower.

Jasmine is professional, prepared, and a true partner on your wedding day…read more I booked Jasmine because her process was clear and straightforward -- no dynamic pricing, no confusing packages. She locked in my date quickly, accommodated a trial reschedule, and even reworked the timeline to include my mom and mother-in-law when they decided last-minute they wanted makeup too. On the day of the wedding, she was calm, focused, and ready for anything. At one point, my dad came into the bridal suite earlier than expected and immediately teared up -- which, of course, got me crying too. Jasmine had already packed up, but she swooped in without hesitation to do a perfect touch-up just before the ceremony. She also helped me feel emotionally ready. I had a breakout leading up to the wedding, and was feeling really anxious about how I'd look in photos. But Jasmine's expertise (and her very reassuring Instagram reels!) made me feel totally confident. You couldn't even see the hyperpigmentation once she worked her magic. As for my mom and MIL -- they rarely wear makeup and weren't quite sure what they wanted, but Jasmine made them both feel comfortable and look radiant. If you're looking for someone talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping you feel your best, Jasmine is it.

It had been a long time since my last hair appt because I no longer wanted to pay $200+ for a cut and color to only put my hair in a ponytail every day. Michelle chose a great overall color for me and highlighted it with blond... I had never put blond in my mousy brown hair and was super apprehensive, even after she had revealed the color I still wasn't sure about it, but once out of the salon I received compliments from everyone I knew. I have been back twice now for touch ups and trims. Michelle always greets me with a smile and is very personable.

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!

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!
