So amazing!

Jae and Carolynn were absolutely incredible! The hair and makeup looked so beautiful! My entire bridal party and I were so happy with the final result! Also even when I was having bridal jitters and overanalyzing everything, they helped me stay calm and listened to me so well!

Best Makeup & Hair!

Jae Lee and Carolynn are always the best to work with. They have done my makeup plenty of times for various events and absolutely NAILED IT on my wedding day. Plus, they are always fun to hang around since you do spend some good time together! I would recommend them to anyone in the Pittsburgh area if you are in need of a makeover for a good event – they make it look so natural too!

Great team!

I was so glad these ladies were in charge of hair and makeup on our day of! Leading up to the wedding I got a couple facials at their physical location and my skin looked amazing for the wedding. They were on time, professional, and had plenty of help to get us all ready. We didn’t have to start until 10am and there were 11 people. They had us ready to go for the first look at 2pm! I was so impressed at how efficiently they moved through everyone. Everyone’s hair and makeup was so pretty! My hair stayed in place and held up to the heat and humidity on a 95 degree day in May. They were bright and positive just as you’d hope everyone would be the morning of your wedding. Highly recommend!
