Amazing team and happy bridal party

Thank you so much to Jess and team for doing all of our hair and makeup for my 10/6 wedding! Everyone’s hair and makeup looked amazing! All my girls as well mothers and myself were beyond happy with both hair and makeup! They were extremely professional, friendly and really listened to what everyone wanted for their wedding looks. From the trial on I was so happy with booking Jessica’s beauty bar and would definitely recommend her to any bride!

Best decision!!

From the moment I met Jess she had the most amazing energy. Our journey started when she microbladed my eyebrows which I was super nervous about as I have never tried anything like that. She listen to me thoroughly, took the time and energy to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Because she was so amazing I then hired her to do my wedding hair. Not only is Jessica just an amazing, genuine, down to earth person- she is extremely talented and truly listens to what you want. She did amazing and the whole process was seamless as she is super organized and professional. Can’t say enough about this amazing woman !!

Talented and professional

Jessica and her makeup artist Linnette are an amazing team. They showed up early on my wedding day and worked efficiently and professionally to complete everyones hair and makeup. I received so many compliments on how beautiful I looked!
Additionally, the communication with Jessica leading up to the wedding was great. Any emails I sent with questions, were returned the same day only hrs later typically.
I highly recommend Jessica and Linnette for your big day!

Felt like royalty :)

I felt like such a queen the day of my wedding. I'm not used to being pampered, so Jess and Jess made sure that I was comfortable and at ease. My bridal party also had a wonderful time! It was a blast watching my favorite ladies getting all dolled up.

The pictures came out stunning, and that is thanks to their hard work and attention to detail! My hair and makeup stayed absolutely perfect all night. I didn't have to worry once about a hair being out of place or my makeup running. I don't think I have ever felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day.

So so perfect!! Jessica is AMAZING

Jessica did an absolutely beautiful job on my hair and all my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. Even after wearing a veil over it for the ceremony, dancing all night, driving in a car with the top down and pulling a t-shirt over my head at the end of the night my hair still looked as perfect as it did the moment she finished it. She was very responsive whenever I messaged her and even showed up on the wedding day a little early and wasted no time getting started. I HIGHLY reccomend Jessica for your wedding hair stylist, she will not dissapoint!!

Best Wedding Hair & MakeUp Team!

I had such a great experience with Jessica and her team! They were responsive and helpful right from the start of our conversations. I loved the hair and make up trial. On my wedding day, they did my hair and MU just like the trial. They were on time on arrival and finishing. They were fun, professional, helpful and punctual. All of my bridal party loved how their services turned out! Would definently recommend them and use them again!

Perfect Wedding Hair

Jessica was amazing! She is relaxed and flexible which makes you feel at ease. Her skill and confidence affords her the edge to be able to give you what you want even if she was not prepared for it. I must have changed my mind multiple times as to what style I wanted. I showed her a picture the day of my wedding when I it was my turn to sit in her chair and she did exactly what I had asked for! All of my bridal parties hair was gorgeous.

Amazing hair stylist!

Jessica did our hair for my wedding on Oct. 23, 2022 at Bill Miller’s Castle. She was amazing! I did my trial with her over the summer, and I couldn’t get the exact hairstyle I wanted because my hair is too thin. That did not stop her. She advised me on where to get extensions for the day of the wedding. She put them in and styled my hair exactly how I wanted it. She also did a wonderful job with my bridal party. We looked stunning! Jessica was great with communication and quickly answered my questions and resolved my concerns. I highly recommend her!!
