Hair and makeup of my dreams

I had such a wonderful experience working with Jessica. She met with me before my bridal photos/trial because I wasn’t sure if my hair needed to be cut shorter or not for the hairstyle I wanted. I also wanted her to see my hair beforehand because I have very thick curly hair. She was responsive, listened to what I liked and didn’t like, and on the wedding day, she made my dreams come true! I am someone who sweats easily and a lot and her makeup stayed on ALL DAY and by the end of the night I still had a lot to take off! I don’t wear makeup often so I wanted a natural look and I wanted to still look like myself and she did an amazing job! If you are getting married soon or have an event coming up, I would highly recommend booking with Jessica!

Wonderful Work

Jesseca was wonderful to work with! She went with the changes I had decided on after the trail and made my look even better. My hair held up all day, even through the hours of West Texas wind. My makeup lasted through all the tears, laughs, food, drinks, and kisses! Not only is her work great, she's so much fun to work with! She made my wedding morning that much more fun!

Great work!!

Yes I absolutely would recommend Jesseca!! I booked Jesseca to do my make up for my wedding, and a trial beforehand. I am truly grateful for her hard work, during my trail she made me feel so welcome and did my make up beautifully! I had full confidence I would look great on the most important day of my life! On my wedding day she turned up on time, made my maid of honour and I feel relaxed and the result of our make up was outstanding! I have never felt so beautiful in my life! Thank you so much!! Here are two photos one from my trail and one from my wedding day!

She was amazing!

Jesseca did MUAH for my engagements, and my wedding! She also did MUAH for my Mother, MOH, and MIL. All of my trial runs and the big day were PERFECT! She is truly an artist and I was so impressed by how creative and knowledgeable she was! All of her supplies are fresh and sanitary. She was so great at answering my millions of questions, AND all of the questions that my family asked her about their appts as well. She was always so prompt and efficient with updating my invoice (I’m ashamed to say that we changed the plan on her more than once!) Did I mention that I had one million questions?! She answered them ALL with grace and was so quick to respond anytime that I communicated with her. On wedding day, it rained off and on, and she restructured everything so that my MUAH was perfect for every single photo session, all while doing MUAH for my MIL, Mother, and MOH as well. I’m so happy that I chose her, because I didn’t have to worry about a single thing for MUAH for any of my wedding appts.

A hair and makeup artist who truly cares about her brides!

I first learned about Jesseca on a photographer’s post on Instagram with Jesseca’s business tagged (you gotta love the power of social media!) I sent her a message, and she got back to me super quickly with a questionnaire to get to know me and my wants and needs for my big day. Something I really appreciated about Jesseca was her honesty— if she could save me any money at all she would! The first time I met her was the day of my bridals, and we instantly clicked! I left, not only feeling freaking gorgeous, but like I had made a new friend. She genuinely loves getting to know her brides and making them feel their very best! I was all nerves the morning of my wedding day, and she reassured me that all those feelings were normal and that my day would be perfect. I’ve always been very self-conscious of my skin, and I can’t say thank you enough for helping me look and feel beautiful on the best day of my life! One more thing: Don’t worry about the makeup coming off or looking bad towards the end of the night— 8+ hours in, and my hair and makeup still looked flawless. Jesseca is the very best at what she does, and I would recommend her to all brides!

Aims to please!

It was an absolute pleasure having Jesseca provide the hairstyle services at my daughter's wedding. She is professional, timely, and does excellent work! Her relaxed yet confident demeanor was a much needed calm in the midst of a beautiful but kinda crazy day. I was thankful to have her presence amongst us!
