Ashley was my hair and makeup stylist for my June wedding in Santa Cruz. She is absolutely amazing and beyond talented, and I was so lucky that she and her team were available. I was hesitant about wearing my hair up because it is not my preferred style, but due to the windiness of our venue it was necessary to do a bun. She worked with me at the trial to do an up-do and adjust my make-up so that I felt beautiful. We had eight other few family and friends also getting their hair and make-up done and she created a schedule that worked with our time-table and her team had us all done precisely on time. She and her team bring such a great vibe during the hours it takes to get ready for a wedding and I would highly recommend booking her!!

Working with Ashley was THE BEST.

Firstly, Ashley is a great collaborator and a very skilled HMUA. She worked with me both on email and during my trial to create the exact ‘natural’ look I wanted. I truly have never felt more beautiful! Ashley creates such a relaxed and calm but also fun environment, it felt like I had a beloved friend helping me look and feel my best.

Ashley also went above and beyond on my wedding day. Firstly, by making sure I personally was taken care of during a getting ready location change (in very wet weather!) - for which I couldn’t have been more grateful! Secondly, she put me at ease and created a very serene environment pre-ceremony - I felt so centred and grounded. I was also worried about being a big crier and potentially messing up my look from happy tears - and Ashley worked with me on a plan that kept me looking flawless all day/night.

I highly, highly recommend working with Ashley and the team at Blush HMD. Shout out also to Camille and Tanika - my entire bridal party loved their HMU looks!

Nothing but rave reviews here! From the moment she arrived, Ashley’s warmth and personable nature instantly put me at ease. It felt like having a friend there to get me ready for our special day.
Not only does Ashley have incredible talent for hair and makeup, but she also had an intuitive understanding of my style and preferences. She listened attentively to my ideas and concerns, and then worked her magic to far exceed my expectations.

The transformation she created was nothing short of breathtaking. She enhanced my natural beauty in a way that felt both glamorous and true to myself. It was like she captured the essence of who I am and translated it into a stunning bridal look.

I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough to anyone searching for a hair and makeup artist. She truly made our elopement day even more magical, and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU, Ashley!
