Excellent service

I hired Leah to do hair and makeup for myself (mother of the groom) and 5 other members of my family. She was very responsive from my initial contact through the morning of the big day and made the planning process so easy. She and her associate both arrived on time and stuck to the schedule we had worked out so that everyone was ready in plenty of time. Since we all traveled in from out of town, we weren't able to take advantage of her offer to do a preview session so we had to trust her to deliver what we asked for. I made it clear that I wanted a natural look and was very pleased with the results of her work.

Talented Make Up Artists!!

I booked Dreamcatcher Artistry to do makeup for my wedding and I’m so happy I did. Chrystal, our MUA, is extremely talented and made me and my wedding party feel absolutely beautiful for the big day. I’m more less is more when it comes to makeup, and I’ve never had my makeup done before, so I was a bit nervous going into the process because I wanted to look done up on my wedding day, but still look like myself. Chrystal was so amazing at listening to what I wanted (and what my wedding party wanted) when it came to makeup and the makeup was absolutely perfect! If I ever need to get my makeup done again, I will definitely be calling her!!

Excellent choice for wedding day beauty

Had the pleasure of working with Leah on my wedding day in Santa Barbara. She did hair & makeup for my mom, sister, and I. None of us had ever had professional beauty services done before and we were all incredibly pleased with our experience.

Leah was amazing to work with from day 1. I live on the east coast and needed to coordinate everything from across the country. She was flexible with her meetings, quick to respond, and gave me great recommendations for lipsticks and hair clip-ins. I did not have a preview, but she did a great job on the day-of figuring out what I wanted and gave all three of us makeovers we loved. She made us feel comfortable and naturally beautiful, and I swear my hair has never looked that good. Highly recommend Dreamcatcher Artistry for your big day.
