Best experience!!!

I wanted to give a review for this experience I had. This was my first time getting a Japanese head spa and it was a Whole Experience. It was very relaxing and the service was great and J was amazing. My head feels so much better and not so itchy. I highly recommend. The price was not bad and their are different packages. J was very professional and friendly and was very knowledgeable. 10/10

Felt Beautiful on My Wedding Day!

I am so fortunate to have found MUaH by J! We had a small wedding at our home and I was the only person needing services. Janine quickly responded to my initial inquiry and luckily had availability for my day. She thoroughly explained the process and pricing and I booked a bridal hair and makeup package that included a trial and day of services.

I scheduled my trial for about 6 weeks before my wedding day. I felt immediately comfortable with Janine. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup but do like glamour. She was very patient in asking questions to tease out what I thought I wanted, what I was actually comfortable with and then weaved her magic and created a look that I loved. I really appreciated her checking in the day after the trial to see how the look wore, address any concerns with the products used, see if there was anything I wanted to change, etc. She then sent a couple of reminders as the big day got closer.

The day of she made me feel beautiful! She altered the hair style to make me feel more comfortable and added lots of extra touches; a little extra shimmer here and some gold dust there....I truly felt pampered. When I saw our wedding photos, I could hardly believe it was me….in the best way! I would definitely recommend MUaH by J!

Excellent & Fun

Janine was very pleasant, comfortable, fun & easy to work with. She gave her time to come to the hotel I stayed at. My boyfriend and I enjoyed her presence & chatting (like we knew each other from before, first time meeting her), while she worked on my makeup & hair. Got a lot of compliments @ the ball. Thanks Janine!

Wonderful presence and expertise

Janine was a wonderful presence on the morning of my wedding. I was so confident in her ability that I knew she would make me look wonderful. The time I spent quietly, before all the hubbub, in preparation with her as she did my hair and makeup is still one of the fondest memories I have of my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend her to you! You will be pleased.

Janine and her team were very professional. They were right on time which is always stress reducing, plus we actually finished earlier than anticipated which allowed some relaxing time. I couldn't be more thrilled with my hair and makeup for my wedding, I felt extremely beautiful. Also, my bridesmaid loved their looks too! Thanks Muah for all your hard work!!

She was amazing, laid back, and professional! She listened to what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like for the wedding, and did it exactly that while also using her professional judgement to alter it for the weather!

We had the pleasure to collaborate on a wedding in June of 2016 with MUAH by J. I was so impressed with the work done by Janine! We were the DJ and the Photo Booth for a gorgeous wedding in Fort Collins on the Colorado State University campus. The outdoor wedding ceremony and separate reception facility made for lots of movement for the bride and she looked STUNNING all day and night. Because of scheduling, I had to meet with the bride and groom at the same time they were with Janine for the trial make-up and hair session. Janine was so accommodating for this to happen and it really set the tone for this wedding to be so successful for Jim and Sharilyn. Easy to work with, accommodating, professional, great results......Call up MUAH by J and talk to Janine right away! Can't wait to work with you again!

Janine I have used several times for photoshoots and special days and I can tell you that her work not only makes each client look fabulous but makes my job as a photographer so easy! My clients look flawless without any photoshop magic. And to be honest, that is how you should really look on your wedding day and feel like you are the most beautiful bride ever.
