Tess is top-notch. She was so professional and reliable. She created a very detailed timeline for my wedding day which, little did I know, was so important to make sure everyone was ready on time and we were able to enjoy our time getting ready. Tess is the most talented make-up artist I've used, and she is so kind. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well. I definitely recommend her!

Aaaaaamazing! Tess, without a doubt, is the best when it comes to makeup! She is the easiest, sweetest person to deal with. I was planning a wedding from out of state. She always accommodated me! She did my makeup for my engagement pictures. I have never had eyelashes on without knowing until then. She made me feel beautiful and natural. I did not feel overdone at all. Did I mention the engagement pictures were done in 95 degree humid weather in the middle of August. (what was I thinking?) Honestly, you can't tell at all. The makeup held up great and looked absolutely stunning for the pictures.

The wedding day! Oh my goodness! She was there setting up before the bridal party got there. She is always on time ready to go. She truly goes above and beyond. We also used Tess to help us with hair. She found a couple great stylists and even set up my appointment for a hair trial. My poor stylist.. on the day of the wedding, I decided to scrap what I thought my original plan was and decided to go with my hair all the way down. The stylist was very nice and accommodated me. I love BIG hair and she gave me exactly that. Tess has been amazing to work with. She is, without a doubt, the best there is!

Meraki Beauty is an excellent choice for the glam squad! Tess and Elizabeth are wonderful with allowing you the freedom to achieve the look you want but also have great professional advice if you need some direction. They are super sweet girls who are a pleasure to be around on the morning of your big day. I would definitely recommend Meraki Beauty.

Gorgeous hair and makeup!

Tess and the ladies at Meraki were amazing to work with!! through rescheduling and working through covid postponements, they were there every step of the way! The hair and makeup was GORGEOUS! I love my beautiful bridesmaids every day, but looking at them with their hair and makeup I was like, YOU ARE SUPERMODELS AND LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!!! Tess listened to my vision and used her expertise to create a stunning look that was exactly what I was going for that made me feel extra beautiful, but still myself. I would highly recommend them as part of your team for the big day!

Tess is an absolute joy to work with! She did my makeup on three separate occasions for Military ball, my pageant interview, and the Azalea Princess Pageant itself. Each look was flawless and couldn't have been messed up if you took it down a water slide. I have never felt more confident or looked better! She was flexible with multiple time crunches in one day, and prioritized my events for the whole day, just to keep me on schedule. She was fun, and a calming soul to have in the room on a very stressful day. I will be calling her again for my future events.

I can't imagine what my wedding day would have been like without Tess and her team. They are truly wonderful! From the consultation appointment and communication from a long distance to the ease of Tess' warm and professional personality, everything was simply wonderful! Tess has a way of making you feel absolutely stunning without the "cakey" and artificial look. Her flawless work looks natural and photos beautifully. Her team also fixed my hair based on pictures I had saved and made it look even better than I could have imagine! I cannot say enough about how much I think of Tess and her team and how glad I am that we picked Meraki Beauty!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
