I couldn't imagine my day without Brett!

I cannot say enough about Brett. I don't know how I would have gotten through my day without her. Not only is she an incredibly talented hair and beauty expert she is sooooo much more! I made the wise decision to hire Brett for touch-up hours for our wedding. Brett helped our photographer who wasn't familiar with the Minneapolis area (Brett is also a talented photographer), took care of our crazy ring bearers, flower girls, and jr. ushers (she's a kid whisperer and somehow had them all calm and ready to go down the aisle before I stepped out), handed me champagne whenever I needed it, cleaned my dress when it got dirty, and at one point she event cleaned the bottom of my feet for me. She read my mind for everything I needed and ALL DAY my bridal party told me how amazing Brett was. Brett is basically a wedding fairy godmother. She's talented, helpful, knowledgeable, and also super fun to be around! One of the best recommendations I could ever make for anyone getting married.

There is no one better in the business than Brett and her team! I was over-the-moon excited that I was able to book her for my hair and makeup and working with her was all-around one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. What an experience!

Not only is Brett an incredibly talented makeup artist and hair stylist, she is beyond professional, organized, and runs her business like a BOSS. She responded to all my messages quickly and it was very easy to coordinate both my trial run and wedding day schedule. She has her finger on the pulse of the wedding industry and is completely in-tune with changing trends and with what her clients want. She is also so caring, kind, is an incredible listener and has a wonderful sense of humor. Her studio space is like no other. I loved spending the morning of my wedding in her charming and beautiful space, drinking coffee and relaxing with my wedding party.

Brett and Sarah Christine did hair and makeup for me, my matron of honor, my mother, my mother-in-law and our two flower girls and everyone LOVED how they looked! The moms were a little nervous and didn’t want to look too “done up” but both said they never felt more beautiful and loved the whole experience. I was feeling very nervous the morning of my wedding and Brett and I had a wonderful talk while she did my hair and makeup. Her calming, soothing presence helped me relax, enjoy myself and I felt my anxiety slip away as she made me look like the most beautiful version of myself. I looked gorgeous and received many compliments from family and friends on how wonderful I looked.

Brett is the BEST for a reason! I am so thankful she was with me on my wedding day and made me look and feel like the best version of myself.

Brett is a truly phenomenal stylist and artist! I could not have made a better selection in who to trust for my wedding day styling. I selected her based on her website portfolio in which she uniquely tailors the makeup and hairstyle to each individual and keeps it simple, making each person a polished version of themselves rather than overdoing the hair or makeup simply because it is for wedding photos. When my husband saw me after the trial (for a set of engagement photos) and again on the wedding day, he commented both times that he was so impressed that he really couldn't tell I had that much more makeup on than usual (I am usually very minimalist), so that speaks to how natural she keeps the makeup. Brett has a beautiful eye and is creative - I showed her some hairstyles I liked and described some things I did and did not want, and she created the perfect style for me. She is incredibly receptive to adjustments (mild changes to lip color, or preferences of certain looks or styles). She uses top quality makeup and lashes. I have tons of hair and my head was super comfortable despite all the required pins! My bridal party (very wide range of casual and relaxed to more perfectionist girlfriends and mothers) all felt like royalty with Brett's team (an incredible group of lovely stylists!) and many felt it was the best hair and makeup they had had at a wedding. Brett took notes during the trial that she brought with her on my wedding day, so she was completely prepared and I could relax and spend time with my bridal party and not worry about last minute adjustments because she already had it all completely under control. Brett made a huge impact on getting my wedding day off to the right start and helping me feel truly beautiful and relaxed and she and her team are an excellent choice for any style of bride!

Brett is not only extremely talented and professional but she is also a joy to be around! She did my hair/make up for engagement photos and hair for me, my 8 bridesmaids + Mom on our wedding day. Everyone loved how their hair turned out. Brett was one of the vendors that I did not worry about for a second. She is so organized and helped to make our big day run smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone! She also did a tattoo cover up for me that I was really nervous about and it came out looking amazing. Thank you, Brett!

Hiring Brett and her team was hands down some of the best money I spent on my wedding day. She made me feel like the best version of myself and her team did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids and the moms. Everyone was professional, timely and friendly. When we had an outside issue during our getting ready portion of the morning, Brett handled it with grace and helped to calm me down. She answered all of my questions quickly and was so friendly throughout the whole process.

Brett was awesome! She and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my entire bridal party, MOB, and MOG. She was fantastic to work with. Five stars all the way around. What I appreciated most was her intuition, it was like she knew what I wanted even when I could not put it into words. Touch up hours were a lifesaver in the 90+ degree heat. My mother told me later how much more at ease she felt just knowing Brett was there. Thanks for making the day run SO smoothly Brett.

Brett and her team were absolutely amazing! She did hair and makeup for my engagement session as well as for the wedding day. Scheduling was straightforward and easy for both, and there was no concerns throughout my entire experience. I actually have no idea how to do hair and makeup and I had a difficult time trying to articulate to Brett what I was thinking for the wedding. I had a general idea in my head, but Brett was able to take my few rambling ideas and turn them into what I didn't even know I wanted (which was perfect) for my wedding day. We also rented the studio for the morning and a few of my bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done as well. The space was perfect for just hanging out and getting a few pictures before the ceremony. I can't recommend Brett enough- we had an amazing time :)

Hiring Brett and her team for my bridal party hair and makeup was a great decision. Brett did an excellent job of making me feel like the “best version” of myself on my wedding day! Everyone looked stunning and the hair and makeup still looked fresh, even after late night dancing. Brett is friendly, professional and easy to work with; scheduling an initial meeting and the trial run was also a breeze using the online scheduling tool. After my initial meeting with Brett, I knew that my bridal party and I would be in good hands for our hair and makeup for my April wedding.

Brett and her team did hair and makeup for me, 9 bridesmaids, grandma of the groom, and mom of the groom. She was worth every penny! Any time I needed to make a change to our schedule, she had no problem doing it.. Even the week of the wedding! Everything went smoothly and according to schedule. Brett was there for “touch up” hours and helped to make sure not only my makeup and hair was perfect, but that my dress was perfect, and every other bridesmaids’ hair and makeup were great for pictures. It was so nice knowing I did not have to worry about things going right in the hair and makeup department on the big day. It was the best decision booking with Brett! :)
