I loved working with Jo and the rest of the Powder Me Pretty team for my wedding! As someone with monolids, I was nervous about finding a wedding makeup artist that would be skilled enough to work WITH my monolids versus against them. When I reached out to Jo, she was understanding of my concerns and shared a few photos of monolidded brides she's worked with in the past. During and after my hair and makeup trial, Jo was super open to feedback I had to get the makeup look just right, and she provided helpful tips to help with dryness and longevity of the makeup on the actual wedding day.

On the day of the wedding, Jo (makeup), Brandelyn (hair), and Jessica (hair & makeup) were all amazing to work with! We had an early day starting at 7:30am, but they were all punctual and ready to go. There was no hair or makeup look they weren't able to pull off for the bridal party, and everyone looked like the best versions of themselves! I also appreciated Brandelyn being adaptable when I surprised her with a headpiece I needed to wear for the Chinese tea ceremony :) If you're looking for a talented and fun hair & makeup team who can handle a diverse group of hair types and skin tones, Powder Me Pretty is for you!

We worked with Powder Me Pretty to do the hair and makeup for my bridal party. We had a spectrum of comfort with makeup- some wear makeup daily and others hadn’t worn a full face in years. Jess and Rachel listened and accommodated each person, making everyone feel comfortable and look great.

For my bridal makeup, I really wanted to feel like myself and specifically, to have my freckles be visible. That’s exactly what Jess did, and I felt comfortable and beautiful. What was even more impressive was that my look (and the bridal party’s) stayed on all night through extremely humid weather and lots of dancing.

We coordinated with Joanna throughout the planning process, and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Powder Me Pretty!

I truly loved my experience with Powder Me Pretty! The owner, Joanna, was incredibly communicative, helping me find the right artist for my vision and giving me updates and details along the way. I got to have Kella do my hair and makeup and she was so lovely to have with me on my wedding day! She was kind and calm, helping to add to the serene morning and truly all of our hair and makeup was gorgeous. I am a picky person and Kella listened to every idea I had helping me find the right look for my wedding day that lasted all day. This was also my first time doing airbrush and it was flawless on me, my friends, and some mature skin! I almost highly recommend a trial - It really helped me get to know the look I wanted and get to know Kella ahead of time!

I absolutely loved working with Powder Me Pretty! Rachael was my stylist, and she did my hair and makeup as well as hair for two bridesmaids and my officiant.

Rachael was so awesome. Laidback and funny, and so dang good at her job. I looked like the very best version of myself, and both the hair and makeup lasted all day and night in peak summer. My bridesmaids and officiant were also delighted with their hair and appreciated Rachael's willingness to work with them on less traditional looks. We all remarked that we on that day, we really looked like we had always dreamed of looking!

In addition to being an amazing stylist, Rachael was also such a pleasure to be around. I was so happy to get to spend the morning of the wedding with her, plus our trial time in the gorgeous Powder Me Pretty studio. Such a kind, calm presence. She also sourced some glitter eyeshadow for me between my trial and the wedding to bring all my rhinestone cowgirl dreams to life.

Would recommend 100%!!

I am SO HAPPY I chose Powder Me Pretty to be part of our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding Joanna was extremely friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Communication was always seamless and she was always quick to respond to all of my questions and trust me when I say I had A LOT of questions. On our wedding day, Joanna and Rachel did an amazing job getting my bridesmaids, my mom, and I looking and feeling our best. They really listened to everyone's requests and are just extremely talented. I went in a totally different direction with my makeup than we had done at my trial, which definitely made me nervous, but Joanna CRUSHED IT. I had zero changes to my hair or makeup and loved everything. Thank you to Joanna, Rachel, and Powder Me Pretty for being part of our day and for being such a joy to work with!! I would recommend them to anyone!!!

We hired Powder me Pretty for our June 2020 wedding, which was postponed until September 2022. Joanna was wonderful to coordinate with and patient with our 3 date changes, and our artists were the BEST! We had so much fun getting ready with Brandelyn and Jessica, and every single person who had services done were very happy with both hair and makeup. Especially for wedding parties it can be such a crapshoot since you don't get trials, but these two really understood what everyone asked for, and nailed each of their looks.

I was so impressed by PMP. I did a trial a few months before my wedding, and on the wedding day decided to do something completely different - it turned out beautifully & wasn't an issue at all. We even finished EARLY. So thankful for this crew!

Powder Me Pretty did hair and makeup for me, my mom and my bridesmaids on my wedding day and they are incredible! We worked with Joanna and Kella for makeup and hair (respectively) and they were just amazing. I can never articulate how I want things done - I'm the person who sits down in the hairdresser's chair, pulls up a photo from Pinterest and says "I want that" - and Joanna and Kella totally read my mind! I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day - quite literally like a princess. All my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup too, and they were so fun to have hang out with us all day. Powder Me Pretty is truly a dream team and totally crushed bringing my wedding-day-beauty-vision to life!

What a fun and special experience to get ready with my daughter and her three sisters before her mountain wedding in Asheville, NC. Joanna and her talented Powder Me Pretty crew were so fun as we spent the day being pampered. Having our makeup professionally applied and our hair beautifully styled by these ladies was such a treat! All three ladies did their magic just as requested by each of us so that we all felt comfortable and not overdone, but specially primped for such an important day.

AMAZING TEAM! Everyone with Powder Me Pretty is extremely knowledgeable and talented. It was so convenient having our hair and makeup done at the venue for myself and my bridal party. Our hair and makeup lasted all through the evening with little to no touch ups needed. I enjoyed every step of the process working with this amazing team!
