Beautiful hair and makeup!
Joy did amazing makeup for myself and my bridal party. Kendall did a great job on hair as well. Both were prompt and professional. They really listened to what we all wanted and took the time to make sure everything was perfect, without running late. I would definitely recommend them.

Joy and Katie at Beauty by Joy were absolutely incredible. Because of them, I felt like the most beautiful bride. My entire bridal party was so in love with them and could not have look any more gorgeous. Our makeup lasted the entire day - from 8 am until midnight. I'm so glad that I chose to work with them!
