    I wish 10 stars was possible!!

    Bri and her team were AMAZING! I don’t even have words to use that do justice to the amazing experience we had! We came with pictures and Bri was able to replicate EXACTLY what we all wanted. We had two artists for 7 hair styles (all different) and 6 faces! Our makeup was flawless, hair held all night (including lots of dancing) and we were done on time! Bri had very high quality make up including foundation that matched my face (which I have never found). The makeup felt light and natural but accentuated my features for pictures. Bri came with all the supplies she needed, was on time and was very fairly priced. It was a HUGE plus that we loved spending the day with Bri. She was fun to chat with and it felt like she was part of our wedding party! The only downfall is we got busy with pictures and the first look, I would have loved to have a picture with Bri because she was a huge part of my special day!

    On a side note, before I booked with Bri, I looked at all the reviews. While there were a few about Bri’s responsiveness, I was shocked because Bri was prompt, responsive and patient (I asked 1.5 million questions). Now that I have gone back, those are all very old and not at all representative of Bri’s recent communication. I also checked out IG and LOVED her style.

    I just want to yell from the mountain tops about how wonderful Bri is and how we will find a reason to use her for other events (school dances, professional photos, etc).

    Amazing Makeup and Hair in Portland

    Bri was amazing, not only did she deliver in making me feel like a beautiful bride. She also was the only one of my vendors to show up the day of my wedding. The big day happened to be during an ice storm and Bri was the only one that didn't cancel on me. She showed up on time and made me feel and look gorgeous on my big day! The day was perfect and it all started with Bri @ Portland Makeup & Hair

    Wonderful experience

    Bri was wonderful! Not only did she make me feel like a princess on my wedding day, she calmed my nerves and made me feel so relaxed! I feel like we became fast friends! I would highly recommend!

    Bri is amazing!

    Bri is wonderful to work with! She’s comfortable, attentive, and did a wonderful job on my hair/makeup and on our bridesmaids and moms! She listened to my preferences and made it very easy to work with her. We’d recommend her to anyone!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Bri was so kind, funny and easy to talk to. If you’re spending hours with someone as they do your hair and makeup that’s a must. She is AMAZING at what she does. I’ve never felt so beautiful and confident in my life. It *almost* makes me sad that I’ll only get married once

    Amazing!!!!!!

    Bri was incredible. The second makeup artist who was coming with Bri called out sick the morning of the wedding, and we can’t fault anyone for that. But Bri came an hour early to get everyone going and we ended up only finishing all 8 services 15 minutes late. I was AMAZED. Bri also had to deal with a hungover bridesmaid and handled it perfectly, and also dealt with a few picky moms in our group. I cannot recommend Bri enough. She really saved my morning. She made every single person, aged 21-71, look beautiful. She also picked up our hotel room since room service wasn’t allowed to come in during our stay, and we made a mess of it that morning. I cannot say enough good things about Bri. If you’re looking for makeup and hair services, look no further and contact Bri.

    Bri made me look so beautful on my special day!

    Our photographer Ara Roselani referred Bri for hair and makeup and I'm so glad she did! Bri is not only talented but she's very friendly and easy to communicate with as well. Bri did my hair and makeup and made me look and feel beautiful. In the past I've gotten my hair and makeup done for events and the makeup never looked natural on my fair complexion. Bri did a great job! If you are looking for someone in the Portland area for hair/makeup I'd definitely recommend Bri!

    Incredible experience with even better results!

    Look no further, you have found your wedding makeup and hair vendor! I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Bri organizing all the details. She was responsive, organized and provided me with incredible stylists for our wedding. We were organizing our wedding from Dallas and Bri made it a breeze. I had an incredible trial and the hair and makeup artists really allowed me to take control to tell them what I wanted. I got exactly what I wanted on my special day and I felt radiant. My bridal party was amazed at how much time they spent to make them look gorgeous also. Thank you a million times over!

    Great Experience

    Portland Makeup and Hair exceeded all of my expectations. Before selecting my makeup artist, I had feared that I would not look like myself on my wedding day. Serafina made me feel so incredibly beautiful, but also myself. She was also very flexible with all of my bridesmaids requests and made everyone feel beautiful on my special day.

    I had hair and make-up done for all of my bridal party. I was able to book a trial as part of the package I purchased to see what my hair and make-up would look like. Both Bri (make-up) and Tana (hair) were open to my ideas and were very professional. On the wedding day, they arrived on time to start making us all look glamorous. They were so fun to work with and were very respectful of my party's variability in hair and make-up (some of my maids don't wear make-up or do fancy hair-do's often). So many guests commented on how beautiful we look and I have to give all the credit to these two wonderful women. Thank you so much!!

    Two Thumbs Up 👍🏼 👍🏼

    Bri, Tana and Courtney were amazing to work with! They were punctual, organized and did a fantastic job! There were 6 of us for makeup and 5 for hair, I had my own hair dresser do mine...we did not provide pictures, simply trusted them to do what they do and were not disappointed. Our makeup was polished, we all looked gorgeous but still like ourselves, without the look and feel of heavy makeup. My girls’ hairs were beautifully done. Could not have been more pleased, so I have nothing to give but kudos to Bri and her crew! Thank you ladies for being part of my day!

    I have nothing but praise for Portland Hair and Makeup!! Bri was unendingly patient with all my questions and emails, as I was planning my wedding from across the country. I was not able to have a hair and makeup trial and only given a few pictures, Bri and Josalyn made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. Not only were they exceptional professionals, they are awesome girls that just added to the joy of our wedding day. Thank you Bri and Josalyn!!!

    I had a fantastic experience with Bri and her team for my wedding. Starting with the "trial run" they were super responsive and I felt like they really listened to what I wanted to do for my look. I had them do my, and my maid of honor's, make up and hair. After my trial run I sent Bri a whole list of notes on how things wore through the day and what I would like to have done differently. When it came time to do it for the big day it was very clear that they had read and discussed my comments and adjusted everything to just what I wanted. With so much to coordinate and manage on that day it was amazing to not have to worry at all about looking perfect. The make up wore all day and all night and my hair stayed curled longer than it ever had before. The make up and hair artists were super nice, very professional, and even helped the groom out with a blemish after they were done working on the ladies! Basically Portland Make-up and Hair provided the quality and experience that every bride dreams about for her special day. I am so incredibly grateful and would very strongly recommend them for a fun, luxurious and (perhaps most importantly) stress-free day.

    I'm so happy I booked Portland Makeup and Hair for my wedding in Hood River. Bri did my makeup, and my wedding party had both their hair and makeup done by Bri and her team. I absolutely loved how my makeup turned out--I felt glamorous, but in no way overly made up. It looked perfect in photos. Bri and her team are very easygoing, yet professional at the same time. Before the wedding, Bri sent me an extensive schedule for when each girl would get her hair and makeup done, which was very helpful for keeping everyone on track. I would definitely recommend Portland Makeup and Hair!

    Bri and her team did a wonderful job for my wedding!! She listened to exactly what I wanted during my trial and created a beautiful look that stayed throughout the day even though it was 100 degrees. On my wedding day, Bri and her team were so accommodating. She had her assistant run to her home to get me hair extensions when there was a miscommunication about who would be providing them to make sure my hair would be perfect. Bri and her team also did the hair and makeup for my mom and mother-in-law and the hair for all of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked beautiful :) Her whole team was so fun and sweet! I would absolutely recommend Portland Make-up & Hair to all brides!!

    Bri is the best! She's been doing my hair for years, so I have complete trust in her beauty abilities. :) She recently did my hair and makeup for pictures, and when I got the pictures back, I was simply blown away. She made me look and feel my best, and it definitely showed in each shot. I would highly recommend Bri -- she's fun, professional, and very talented!

    Portland Make-up and Hair was AMAZING. I chose Tiffany, based on her online gallery (http://www.portlandmakeupandhair.com/#!/page/394397/tiffany). On the day of my hair trial, Tiffany had an emergency, so Bri stepped in seamlessly and did my hair and makeup for free for my engagement photos. Tiffany later did my hair and makeup trial prior to the wedding, and was very responsive to tiny changes I wanted made -- I am VERY picky when it comes to my hair and makeup. On the day of the wedding, Tiffany did my hair and makeup, and my mom's and MOH's, along with makeup for several bridesmaids. Meghann did hair for bridesmaids. Everyone was extremely happy with the results. I got TONS of compliments on my hair and makeup on the day-of, and when I show people photos from my wedding they frequently compliment my hair and makeup artist. I wanted very natural looking makeup, and Tiffany did that perfectly. The false lashes that they use are not strips -- they are like individual lashes. My lashes -- and everyone else's lashes -- looked natural and lovely all day long, and felt entirely comfortable to wear. In fact, after the wedding I SLEPT with my hair and makeup (including lashes) on and went to breakfast the next day with it looking perfect. I got tons of compliments on how lovely I STILL looked. No one noticed on their own that I just didn't wash my face! I've never felt more beautiful than on the day of my wedding. Thank you Portland Make-up and Hair!

    Went for a trial run with Bri and liked her makeup so much hired her on the spot for my daughter's wedding. She showed up on time and did a great job on everyone's makeup. Got many compliments and the makeup lasted all day with no touch up needed. Needless to say Bri did a fantastic job.

    Josalyn came out to my venue to do hair and makeup for both me and my mom. I have to tell you, I was SO SICK on my wedding day - I was fighting so hard against a nasty upper respiratory infection, laryngitis cough no sleep for DAYS, uck. I can't imagine how horrible I looked - and wouldn't let anyone take pictures to find out. Josalyn was so patient with me, she was so nice and a great pep-talker. I needed her calm presence that morning. By the time she was through, no one could tell how sick I was, my makeup held through all the nose blowing and eye watering, the coughing and fever sweat wiping. My hair looked stunning and held all night as well. She did a great job and was great to work with. She at one point stated that she doesn't work miracles - definitely not true, she totally works miracles!

    My experience with Portland Makeup and Hair was wonderful! It was so difficult to find a company with competitive pricing who would travel out to my venue, but they did it! My hair consultation was lovely, complete with champagne and a lot of questions to ensure that my veil and whatnot was taken into account when styling. On the big day, Josalyn showed up perfectly on time and was kind and professional. My hair was gorgeous, and stayed in place until I was ready to remove it. She helped my mom put in and secure my veil. I would absolutely use them again!
