10/10 hair and makeup vendor!

Absolutely incredible! Meleah was warm, welcoming, listened to exactly what I wanted, and delivered! We had video calls since we were located remotely from each other before the big day and I knew exactly what to expect to ensure a smooth hair and makeup process! She sent follow-up emails and instructions which made the wedding day “getting ready” process seamless. My hair and makeup lasted looking brand new throughout the entire day and night. I would 1,000% recommend Meleah and her amazing work to future brides.

Wedding Hair + Makeup

I truly cannot recommend Meleah and her team highly enough. Choosing a hair and makeup artist was incredibly important to me, and from our very first Zoom call, I knew Meleah was the right choice. Her organization, attention to detail, and genuine care immediately stood out, and those qualities carried through every step of the process.

One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly Meleah managed everything. She coordinated directly with my bridesmaids—collecting inspiration photos, understanding their individual hair types and preferences, and providing clear, personalized prep instructions ahead of the wedding day. It made such a difference not having to manage those logistics myself, and it ensured that everything ran smoothly and on schedule from the very start.

My trial with Meleah was fantastic and completely confirmed my decision. She is incredibly talented and also refreshingly honest—she helped guide me toward a look that felt like me, but elevated. I walked away feeling confident and excited, which is exactly what you want going into your wedding day.

On the day itself, Meleah and her team were everything you could hope for: calm, organized, professional, and genuinely fun to be around. They created such a positive, relaxed atmosphere while keeping everything running perfectly on time. And the results were flawless—my hair and makeup lasted all night (through hours of dancing!) and still looked incredible at the very end. She and her team truly go above and beyond for their brides and bridal parties.

If you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply thoughtful, organized, and a joy to work with, Meleah is the one. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my wedding day.

You need Meleah!

Bottom line up front: you should go with Meleah & Co for your hair and makeup. You WILL NOT regret it!! I had thought about doing my own makeup for a bit and I’m glad I didn’t. We did a trial and she was honest with me about what would and wouldn’t look good or would be imprudent on my wedding day. She was right about everything she suggested and said. Her whole team was just phenomenal!! I had multiple nieces 11 years old and under and she selected stylists that just worked amazingly with kiddos. All my bridesmaids turned out GORGEOUS and we couldn’t have been happier. Besides all of this, I learned a ton from her: from how to prevent oily hair and washing properly to best products and uses of mousse. She was calm and helpful when I didn’t have my hair fully dry after my shower, yet, the morning of the wedding and helped me so we stayed on schedule. She personalized each of our prep based on our hair type and length and communicated exceptionally well. As you can tell by the length of this: I cannot say enough good things about her and her team. She deserves the good reviews she has from others and me. Thank you, Meleah & Co!!!

Amazing Dance Instructor for our First Dance!

Meleah was amazing as a dance instructor! She came highly recommended by our friend couple who used her to learn a first dance for their wedding, and we were looking for the same. We had 6 short lessons with her, and she taught us an entire dance to do to our favorite song that will be our first dance. She taught us how to dip, inside/outside twirl, and a lift amongst other things. She gave us the confidence to do our 1st dance together beautifully, and we cannot recommend her enough! You won't be disappointed!

Thank You Meleah!

I had a wonderful experience with my wedding makeup artist. She was professional, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The makeup looked natural, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day. I truly felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day and would happily recommend her to any bride.

Dance lessons from Meleah

We took dance lessons from Meleah for our First Dance. Meleah was excellent — patient and thorough. Even though my wife and I had absolutely no experience with foxtrot, she made the learning so easy & fun. I like the way she structured the lessons by slowly building things up from the fundamentals. I thought her way of giving feedback was just right — not overly positive or too harsh. Towards the end, she made us practice backwards from the end of the song to the beginning, and I thought that was a smart touch. Overall, it was such a fun experience to learn from her. Would highly recommend!

Dance Review

Lessons with Meleah were so great! She was so patient and fun to work with, especially for us new to dancing. Every lesson was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. She broke down the steps perfectly for us to learn them and not be overwhelmed. She created the choreography but was open to our thoughts on the moves as well. Overall it was an A+ experience.

Amazing stylist

I was married in September 2025, and only had about a month to plan my out of state wedding in San Diego. I found Meleah online and it was an absolute blessing. Prior to accepting the job, Meleah and I exchanged emails and had a web meeting to discuss my wishes and I sent her photographs of what I was looking for. Meleah was very up front about what would work best, sent me a contract for services, and accepted a reasonable deposit prior to our appointment date.
I requested a last minute change to the appointment venue which Meleah was able to accomidate.
Prior to the appointment, Meleah sent me clear and easy to follow instructions with suggested product to use.
The day of my wedding, Meleah was on time, was very professional and prepared and was extremely fun to work with. She has a great personality, and helped calm my nerves on my big day.
My hair and makeup turned out better than I could have hoped for. I highly recommend Meleah's hair and makeup services for any wedding or special occasion.

My Wedding Day

Meleah was great to work with. She was so patient and offered so many great styling tips. I can tell she has experience. My makeup and hair did not move all day. I was nervous because curly hair is hard to work with but she did an amazing job. Her pricing was affordable and she offers great service.
