Contessa was an amazing makeup artist, but even more than that she was so flexible and helpful on my wedding day which ended up being one hiccup after

Contessa did an absolutely amazing job. Highly recommend! 12/10 review. She was able to improvise in my crisis to get the job done which is a skill in itself. She made me feel beautiful, she knew exactly what she was doing, and her price is great for what you receive. I was very pleased with my bridal look and was so thankful I booked with HER.

Beyond Grateful!

Tessa was a dream to work with! I could not have asked for a better person for my wedding day hair and makeup. With the recent events that occurred in Western Carolina and our wedding day happening less than a week later, we were unsure how our wedding would play out. After ensuring that Tessa and her team were safe, she was back to business and was able to make our wedding day. Tessa executed flawless hair and makeup for me and my 3 special ladies all on her own. I cannot recommend her enough. As someone who does not wear makeup and has naturally curly hair, she was able to capture my wedding look perfectly and enhance my natural curls. She truly will make you and your wedding day 10x more special.

Great experience!


I am so happy I found Tessa to do my makeup and hair for my wedding day! I looked at her site and social media and I loved her work right away. She was great to work with and did an amazing job not only for me, but also for my Mom, sister, sister in law and Mom in law! She is amazing! I promise you will not be disappointed with her!

I felt beautiful!

I felt so beautiful after Tessa did my makeup! Truly! She was able to highlight my best features and blended the makeup so it did not look harsh… but light and natural! She is a very talented lady, and I felt like a queen! She listened and did her magic and I am so pleased! Highly recommend her services!

Unmatched!

Tessa approaches the face like Picasso approached the canvas. I hadn’t gotten my makeup professionally done in a really long time and it was because I always left the chair feeling like a caricature of myself, she showed me that makeup can be dramatic and approachable.

Consultation

Came out with gorgeous headshots for website. Consultation was thorough, stress-free and knowledgeable. I now also apply the same techniques in my day to day routine.

Amazing job!!!

Tessa did my hair and makeup for my wedding and did such a beautiful job!! She finished several hours before the ceremony and it lasted literally all day through crying, laughing, and dancing the night away. I was so impressed when I went to take my makeup off that night that it looked the same as it did 12 hours earlier! Tessa listened to my feedback after the initial makeup trial in which I tried airbrush for the first time and didn't love how it looked on me, and recommended traditional makeup to achieve a more natural look. I wanted to feel like myself but a slightly more glammed up version and I think she nailed it. Thank you so much, Tessa!!

Superb service

Absolutely great service! I’ve seen Tessa for a multitude of services but most recently she did the hair and makeup for my wedding. She did hair and makeup for my mother and myself. She did a phenomenal job. My mom and I felt gorgeous. I highly recommend Tessa if you need wedding services.
