All Great Things!

I have nothing but great things to say about Tara. The process was easy, she was knowledgeable, reliable, on time, a good personality to work with, good communication, and even when it came to last minute changes she just rocked it. Super happy with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding look and my bridesmaids hair. I have the cutest little snippet that shows my hair and makeup so well but it doesn’t let me post anything but regular pictures. Still waiting for my photographers pictures back so this is all I have to show for now!

A Truly Beautiful Vision

Tara did an absolutely perfect job on both my trial and wedding day hair & makeup. She worked with me in terms of what I was looking for by listening to my vision while offering professional advice regarding looks and potential items to purchase to help achieve my ideal look. She made me feel truly beautiful, a rare occurrence, on my wedding day. I requested a second artist who was also wonderful. While Tara did the makeup for the rest of the bridal party and my hair & makeup, Sienna did everyone else's hair. Based on timing, Sienna was even available and willing to curl the flower girl's hair despite not booking it previously. Everyone in my bridal party had their natural beauty enhanced through the wonderful work of this team. Based on other vendors I initially looked at, Tara provided an excellent value for a great price. She was kind, easy to communicate with, and professional without being too stuffy. I would highly recommend getting glam done by Tara!

Highly recommended and appreciated!

We were very fortunate to have been able to book Tara for my daughter’s wedding. She outdid herself. She really listened to and executed the looks we wanted. I personally loved that she helped me feel calm, relaxed, and pampered. Being the first vendor that we encountered in the morning, she actually helped set the tone for the rest of the day to be an amazing celebration. I would definitely book Tara for any other event that comes my way.

Tara Made My Wedding Day Truly Perfect

I’ve always done my own makeup, but I wanted to relax and enjoy the morning of my wedding without the extra stress. I was a bit nervous about finding a hair and makeup artist who could bring my bridal vision to life. But then I found Tara, and she absolutely exceeded all my expectations!

The only thing that surpasses Tara’s professionalism is her kind heart. My husband’s grandmother has Parkinson’s disease and couldn’t attend our wedding, so I wanted to include her in a special way. Tara was more than happy to help—she came to our home for my makeup trial so my husband’s grandmother could be part of the experience, and she even ended the session by doing her makeup too! From that moment, I knew I had chosen the perfect person for my special day.

The morning of my wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. My entire wedding party looked absolutely stunning thanks to Tara’s talented makeup team—Yashira, Monica, Yadira, and Krystle—and I had never felt more beautiful. By the end of the day, Tara felt like family, and I will forever cherish this incredible experience, all thanks to her.

Stunning & long lasting lasting hair & makeup

I had Tara and her team for my double wedding day. My husband and I had two ceremonies & I only had time for 1 look. Tara worked with me to create a gorgeous look that would work for both. My hair is pin straight and she had my curls lasting all day long.

Tara & her team were so positive and cheerful especially for a 4 am start time with a big group. She and her girls were kindly able to accommodate me, 9 bridesmaids, a flower girl, and 3 family members. I would highly recommend Tara and her team to any bride 🤍🩵

Tara was Amazing

I booked Tara without doing a trial and was a little nervous going into it, but ended up loving my makeup. She listened to what I wanted and was easy to be honest with with I told her I wanted smaller lashes. All of my bridesmaids looked great too.

She was also extremely professional and great at communication. If you choose Tara you will not be disappointed!
