Wedding hair and make up

May was absolutely amazing! The second she emailed me she made me feel more comfortable with timing for the wedding ceremony. She arrived right on time and got to it. She started with my sister in law who wasn’t sure on a look for her hair but May did her thing and her makeup and hair both looked absolutely stunning. She then did my sister and duplicated the picture my sister had showed her! It looked awesome! She started my hair and make up right on schedule with minutes to spare! She was so sweet and kind which made the whole experience perfect and helped set the a good vibe for the wedding day!!

May is Fantastic

May is wonderful! She came to my hotel room to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was on time and spent two solid hours making me beautiful! I brought my own lashes and hairpiece and she knew just what to do. My hair even stayed in place in the wind at out beach wedding. If you get a chance to hire her, do it! You will be beautiful for your big day 🥰

Book may you wont regret it!

May and her team were so amazing. As a first time bride I was not sure what to expect, but they blew every expectation out of the water nevertheless! They did in total 5 women, including myself- both hair and makeup. We spent the entire morning talking story and laughing; they could not have made my wedding day more perfect. They’re affordable, personable, and amazing people who made us into real life princesses! BOOK WITH THEM!!

Sweet, professional, all around amazing!

May was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding hair and makeup! She was punctual, well-prepared, and incredibly professional from the trial to the wedding day. I wasn’t always sure what I wanted, and she offered great suggestions that helped me feel confident and beautiful. On a hectic and emotional day, she was such a calm, kind, and grounding presence. Her communication was clear and timely, and her work was flawless—I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend!

Amazing with all skin types and textured hair!!

May is absolutely amazing! She was hired to do my makeup and hair for a vow renewal. She was professional, on time, kind, sweet, very easy to talk to, and most importantly- she made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! I had been out at a Luau the night before, so when she arrived, I was unprepared, my hair could use a lot of help and I was nervous about makeup. She made me feel human. She handled everything with such grace. My textured hair was styled perfectly, and my makeup was absolutely stunning. I could not be more grateful for her, she’s amazing!!
