Canaan is the BEST

I cannot recommend Canaan enough. She did make-up for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom, and everyone loved her work. The airbrush make-up stayed on the entire day despite the rain, heat, and humidity. She also did a phenomenal up-do for my hair, perfectly capturing the sample photo I showed her. On top of her doing such a great job with hair and make up, she was such a calming presence in the midst of a chaotic wedding day.

Absolutely Flawless!!

Canaan is so sweet and professional, she was so flexible during Covid as we switched our date and worked with me on what to do for my hair and makeup. Wedding day was so much fun with her around, and she made me feel so beautiful and exactly what I wanted!!
