Elaine is an exceptionally talented hair/MUA with an exceptionally beautiful soul to match!

I only have good things to say about Elaine. I booked her for three separate events over the span of a few days and she did an absolutely amazing job making sure I looked and felt my best for each event, while also making sure I looked different for each event. She was receptive to all of my thoughts/likes, while also having amazing ideas of her own that I would have never thought of. Her skills are definitely top tier, but she is also a wonderful human to work with. It was a very hectic few days (and months leading up to it), but Elaine always remained calm and coming up with alternative ways to handle problems that arose. I changed the plan on this poor woman multiple times, and even changed the location to get ready for one of the events a few days prior, but she had such a great attitude and I could not be more grateful.

Don't hesitate at all--book Elaine!!!

Great Makeup Artist for Wedding

Elaine did my hair and makeup for my wedding in June 2023 and was absolutely wonderful to work with! We did a trial a few months before and she was great about working with me to get the right colors and process that worked for my skin. She also was super professional and flexible with my wedding party in June, which made the whole day very relaxed! I would highly recommend her and her team!

Perfect wedding hair/makeup

Excellent hair and makeup - Hair without fly-aways, respectful to what each bridesmaid wanted. Makeup was very natural yet helped your best features stand out.

Gorgeous Hair and Makeup

Elaine did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! Everything looked so elegant and classy. The makeup she did for my bridesmaids and mom looked so beautiful as well. I highly recommend her for both hair and makeup!

Made me feel beautiful as myself!

As a make up artist Elaine created beautiful looks - I also really enjoyed working with her as a professional though! I was looking for a natural but enhanced look for 5 bridesmaids and myself, and everyone came out looking like the most beautiful version of themselves! The hand application and individual false lashes gave a more natural look that looked amazing in photos and in person. My ceremony was at 2pm, and through all the outdoor photo sessions, dancing, and eating, my face was set for photos all through the night. During the trial, Elaine allowed me to try a couple different ideas for lip color and even proposed some things I hadn't considered to ensure I loved my look. I was so completely happy with the result, I felt amazing! Can't recommend highly enough :)

We had an amazing time with Elaine!

Elaine and her team were wonderful during both my trial and on our wedding day! The trial was key, we made some adjustments and I felt like myself, but better, on the day of the wedding. She did an amazing job and we had such a good time with her! I'm trying to find another excuse to get hair and makeup done because it was so much fun!
