Her customer service is top notch. The moment I had a conversation with her, I instantly felt very comfortable. My hair and makeup were better than I had envisioned. I have nothing but good things to say about her and her work. So ladies, don't skip her, just book her and you won't regret it.

Better than we could have imagined!

Mekela was so professional and all around lovely to work with! She took my vision for my wedding day hair and make up and made it a reality. She also was great with adjusting things with little modifications or changes (I went from a test run with a completely different hair style vs my wedding day) and she provided inspo pics and helped me decide on what I really envisioned for my wedding day! I highly recommend her for any wedding or big event!

Best MUA!!

I am so thankful I was able to find Mekela. She is an absolute doll and made me feel like a dream on my wedding day with her makeup and all of my girls looked amazing! She is also super down to earth and very pleasant to work with. Could not recommend her enough, she really works with you on your trial day to make sure that you're happy and absolutely comes through on the big day. Hope I never get married again but if I did I would contact Mekela!

Mekela was absolutely amazing.

Mekela nailed the trial and my wedding day. I appreciated how kind she was and her communication leading up to the wedding day. She was right on time and was amazing with the timeline. I cannot say enough about how much I loved my hair and makeup. All of the guests were raving about my makeup. The look lasted the entire day, all the way up to the dancing at the end of the night. Thank you Mekela!

So happy with my results!

Mekela was absolutely amazing! She brought such a calming yet fun energy to the big day, complete with a fantastic playlist. Being an out-of-state bride meant no trial, but Mekela was incredibly patient on the wedding day itself. She welcomed my feedback and expertly adjusted both hair and makeup until it was exactly what I'd dreamed of. I felt so beautiful, and she never once made me feel bad about requesting changes.

Her touch-up services were a lifesaver! It was a hot 98 degrees, and we had a first look plus portraits all over downtown Sacramento. My hair struggles to hold a curl and I was sweating like no other, so having her there for touch-ups was invaluable. She effortlessly transitioned from our hotel suite to the venue's bridal suite, keeping my hair and makeup flawless from first look to ceremony to reception.

She also did hair for 6 of my girls and make up for 3, and got through everyone with great timing and they all had unique yet cohesive looks.

Booking Mekela was one of the best decisions I made. She's truly fantastic!

Makeup and Hair Artist Magician

I cannot recommend Mekela enough! She made me feel like an absolute princess on my wedding day. From the moment of my initial bridal trial, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. On the day of my wedding, Mekela flawlessly blended my extensions with my natural hair, creating a look that was both elegant and stunning. I received countless compliments throughout the day on how beautiful my hair looked. The makeup was equally exquisite. If you're looking for someone who can make you feel truly special on your big day, look no further than Mekela! Highly recommend her! Thank you Mekela!

Highly Recommend!

Mekela was great! From the beginning, she was super responsive and helpful. Working with her was so fun and her work was incredible! I got married in 102 degree heat, and by the end of the night my bridal party and I still looked gorgeous! I highly recommend Mekela.

So flexible, down to earth and comfortable to be around.

I had Mekela as my HMUA for my May 2024 wedding and I could not have had a better experience. She was so flexible in my indecisiveness on what I wanted — a normal feeling when you’re a bride!! I did 2 trials and felt completely beautiful on our special day. 100% recommend her. You will have the best experience!
