Endorsements
"As a wedding photographer, Jilladair has made my job easier! I don't have to worry about the bride's make-up or do touch-ups in Photoshop... it's PERFECT from the get-go! She is professional yet relaxed, fun to work with, and has an army of helpers who know what they are doing to make the "getting ready" stage of a wedding day flow seamlessly! She's an amazingly talented artist and I highly recommend her!"
"Jilladair is fantastic to work with. She is detail oriented and will go above and beyound for her clients. I had the pleasure of working with Jilladair on a wedding this 2008 season. The bride was stunning, and so was all of her bridal party. They were done right on time, which is very important to me for keeping the rest of the day on track. I recommend her to my brides in need of hair and makeup services."
"If flawless beauty is important to you on your wedding day, this gal can help you achieve the look. Kim @ Something Blue Boutiqiue, La Conner"
"Jilladair is probably one of the most unique, diverse, and instantly personable people I've ever met. When you have Jilladair on your side, it feels like nothing can go wrong! And, if it does, she'll fix it...with style. Jilladair and her team did the makeup and hair for my wedding and their presence made my wedding-day morning simply delightful...despite the fact that I had several wedding "dramas" going on at the same time! If you need something, someone is on hand to go and get it...even if it means running down to the store to find last-minute flowers or buy the groom black socks--there was no way Jilladair was going to allow him to even entertain the idea of white socks when he told her he forgot to get black ones! To top it off, Jilladair is an amazing make-up artist. Everybody looked amazing! She even managed to make my 14-year-old junior bridesmaids look gorgeous and completely age-appropriate. She worked wonderfully with my photographer to help with touch-ups and quick fixes. Jilladair is gold! "

Jilladair was fantastic. She has such a funny, generous, and honest personality, and made my wedding day *that* much better. She did makeup for a total of 10 girls the morning of my wedding, and we received compliments all day long. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist, and will recommend her again and again!

Jilladair was amazing. From our first contact she provided me with so much. She was helpful, supportive, and put me completely at ease. I couldn't imagine my day without her. I wish I could get married again, so she could make me look like a princess again.

Not only did I love working with Jilladair and her team but so did all of the bridesmaids, mothers, aunts, flowergirl -- everyone who got their makeup and/or hair done! I will continue to remain in contact with her even now that the wedding is over to ask her for makeup advice.

Jilladair goes above and beyond the call of duty. She and her staff really do an excellent job, especially when it comes to being flexible and having a broad knowledge of her field.

I would recommend Jilladair to anyone looking to be the fairytale princess they always dreamed to be!

Jilladair's services are phenomenal! After practicing the perfect hair and makeup for my special event, she found the perfect look and one that wouldn't make me feel out of my comfort zone. Her fun and outgoing personality made her a breeze to work with and I HIGHLY recommend her services when looking to make your day perfect!

Jilladair did my hair and makeup for my recent wedding. She did an awesome job, and made me feel very at ease on my wedding day. I had to do a schedule change at the last minute and she was very accepting of that.
My new husband was very pleased with the results too.
Thanks Jilladair!!

Jilladair Carlson did makeup for myself and the bridal party (5 total) and we all loved the look. She helped to create a look that was beautiful and true to our own style and personality.

My mom and I have both had several people comment of the gorgeous make-up when we show wedding pictures.

Love it!
Thanks Jilladair :-)

Namaste ~

Jilladair provided us with air brush make-up that turned out beautifully. The make-up was flawless and turned out better than I excepted. It lasted the whole night without ever needing to be touched up. It was worth every penny.

I absolutely loved the service provided! I felt like a movie star on my wedding day. Jilladair provided makeup & hair for my 2 bridesmaids, my mother and me. I had a few difficult ladies that do not regularly wear makeup and Jilladair handled them with ease. My only complaint is that I initally booked for an extra person just in case, but when no one else needed the service, I couldn't remove them from the contract so I was stuck paying for an additional person. Disappointing. But if I had it to do over, I would still hire Jilladair. she was awesome!

Overall, I was happy with the services received. However, some of the girls in my wedding party felt otherwise. They felt that Jilladair did not listen to their concerns and feelings about how their makeup looked. They felt as if she was sabotaging their makeup so not to "out shine the bride". Half of the girls ran back to the room to redo it themselves which was a total waste of money for me since I paid for them to get it done as part of their wedding party gift. But it was more important to me that my girls were happy and felt just as beautiful as I did because IT WILL show in the pictures. Also, it was very pricey to have her do the girls makeup on-site. I would definitely do some shopping around before booking and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend doing a trial before booking. It just worked out better for us to have her come out since I had big wedding party. Despite the girls hating their makeup, they absolutely loved Jilladair's hairstylist. That was my first time getting airbrushed makeup done and I loved how it stayed on my face through the entire ceremony and reception. My face never looked shiny and for those who did not redo their makeup felt the same way. I do agree with Jilladair that you must give the makeup time to sit on your face. Brides, please voice your opinions because the only thing that matters is that you and your girls look your best for your wedding photos.
