Couldn't have asked for better women to work with on my wedding day!

From the moment I started emailing Magnolia Artistry I knew I picked the right company to work with. We had a trial for the hair and make up for myself, and my daughter who was the flower girl. They took just as much time and effort with her look as they did with mine. My bridal party loved their hair and makeup, especially the airbrush makeup. I was worried my daughter's hair wouldn't stay up all night, because she doesn't sit still. I was assured that they would take care of that, and they 100% came through!! I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone.

Chelsea
Chelsea
Co-Owner/Makeup Artist

Chelsea started her makeup career in retail working and training with both high end brands and non-toxic mineral lines. During this time is when she discovered that her true passion was outside of sales, in on-location freelancing. That is when she started her own brand in ChelseaIrelandHMUA, working weddings and photoshoots by referrals, as well as contracting for bridal salons in Richmond.

Chelsea studied hair and trained as an apprentice for some time, but ultimately decided that makeup artistry is her true calling. She has been in the beauty industry for over a decade.
