Queen of glam!

I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Jenn!! She did my hair and makeup for my elopement, and I truly felt like the most beautiful version of myself. As soon as she arrived, she brought such a warm energy that instantly put me at ease. It honestly felt like getting ready with a best friend! She really listened to what I wanted and somehow brought it to life even better than I imagined—soft, glowy, and perfect for Maui. :) Everything held up through the heat, wind, and all the happy tears. But more than anything, Jenn just made the whole experience feel so special and easy, she's truly the best!

If you’re getting married or eloping in Maui, I would recommend her over and over again. She’s truly the queen of glam and I can't recommend her enough.

Jen nailed the vision I had!

I was incredibly happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. Jen nailed the vision I had from the photos I had shown her. I even changed the hair accessory I was going to use the day-of and she rolled with it and it turned out perfectly. She was also so kind and easy to work with! I was a little nervous because I had never had professional hair and makeup done before but she made the experience so easy and fun. She's truly a master at her craft and set such a lovely tone for the rest of my wedding day.

Loved working with Jen!!!

Jen was so professional and fun and perfectly matched the energy the getting ready room. She did the makeup for me, my bridesmaids and my mom. We all looked incredible well into the beachfront afterparty despite the August heat in Laguna Beach, CA.

Jen worked a miracle on me (seriously)!

I had a nightmare of a situation due to getting my eyebrows/forehead threaded a week before my wedding day and ending up with folliculitis— angry and irritated+ bumpy skin. As someone who usually has clear skin, this was devastating for me and I cried on the plane to Maui and the couple days leading up to my big day.

I reached out to her the day before just to give her a heads up she she didn’t sound worried at all which was reassuring.

Day of, she showed up and was so kind and helpful and her airbrushing skills were immaculate. I went from full panic mode to just feeling relieved and able to get excited about our elopement. She explained a lot of what she was doing and she was amazing at constantly disinfecting or using disposable sponges/tools. Jen has an eye for what works well with your skin and facial features and she worked a miracle or some kind of magic because once I saw my face, I couldn’t even see my angry skin or bumps. She really brought out my eyes which also took the focus away from my skin condition and I was able to relax in front of the camera. Jen is sooo sweet and I’m so glad I chose her to do my makeup and hair for one of the most important days of my life.

Thank you, Jen! Truly! ❤️❤️❤️

Maui Elopement - Heflin’s 2024

Wow! Jen is truly a master of talent. I was very nervous for the big day. I started to shell up in my hotel room while getting ready. Jen arrived, sat me in the chair and before I knew it I was back to myself. She had artfully distracted me into conversation totally forgetting all the butterflies in my tummy. We laughed and chatted like she was a friend of I had known for years. Not only was she down to earth but her skill for makeup and hair was 💯. I am a little picky and don’t usually get hair and makeup done but I was totally impressed and loved the outcome. I trusted her judgement and it turned out more beautiful than imagined. Thank you, Jen!

Nailed my hairstyle for my engagement photo shoot and for my wedding!

When my husband and I decided to get married on Maui we planned a trip to go checkout venues and meet with different vendors. We had also decided to do a photoshoot for our engagement pics while on Maui… so it made sense to do a hair and makeup trial at the same time! Jen did my hair and I LOVED it! She made my vision come to life and was also soooo sweet and personable! I knew based on skill and personality I needed her to do my hair for my wedding! Again, she absolutely nailed it! I was obsessed with my hair and it lasted the whole night… despite the wind and crazy dancing! I HIGHLY recommend Jen for your hair (and makeup) needs! She’s so talented and just all around a wonderful person!

Me, but better!

Jen is the real deal! I booked to get my hair done through my elopement company, Napili Events, and was told the fee covered hair and makeup. I have never had my makeup professionally done before and was hesitant to have my makeup done. I was nervous that it would be heavy as I generally wear minimal makeup and that I wouldn’t look like myself on my wedding day. Jen is a a real gem. She’s genuine, sweet and so, so talented! She was a blast to hang out with while she worked on me. My hair was perfect and my makeup made me look just like myself, but better! I’m pretty analytical and I had absolutely zero complaints. I’m so thankful that I got matched up with Jen and highly recommend her to anyone needing to feel extra beautiful for their special occasion! I truly don’t think that anyone else could’ve done a better job than Jen did! Thanks so much, Jen!

Look no further, Jen is the absolute best!

Jen did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was blown away by her talent and attention to details. She nailed my dream look and I received so many compliments! I have never felt so beautiful and was truly glowing on my big day! My wedding day was an extremely windy day and my hair and makeup looked just as amazing at the end of my wedding as it did at the beginning. I cant recommend Jen enough, She is truly the best there is!
