Best Hair and Makeup Professional Ive ever met

My experience with Jessica was absolutely extraordinary. She is truly one of a kind. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to achieve the perfect look for my wedding day. As a Curly Hair Bride, I was incredibly nervous about entrusting someone with my hair and makeup. From the very beginning, Jessica exuded warmth and reassurance. When we first spoke on the phone, her welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. Upon meeting her in person, I felt a sense of comfort and relaxation that I hadn't expected.

Jessica is an exceptional listener and goes above and beyond to provide options and suggestions tailored to your unique preferences. Throughout the entire process, she made me feel supported and never alone. It's as if she became a part of my family through this entire experience, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for her presence.

For those with natural curly hair, Jessica is an absolute expert. She understands and respects the intricacies of curly hair like no one else. As for the makeup, Jessica paid close attention to my desires and made adjustments during the trial to ensure it was exactly what I had envisioned. On the wedding day, she absolutely nailed it.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica's talent and the beautiful person she is inside and out. If you're searching for someone who will genuinely listen to you, understand your needs, and bring your vision to life, Jessica is, without a doubt, the perfect choice. Thank you, Jessica, for making me feel radiant and confident on the most important day of my life.

October 2024 Bride

Jessica was an incredible vendor! She absolutely saved me when I needed to find a makeup artist two months before my wedding, and was super responsive over email. I was really impressed by her professionalism and the extensive information in her emails. She was very friendly and warm during the trial and was accommodating and understanding of all of questions I had or small things I wanted changed. On the day of the wedding she arrived on time and just made the morning feel so relaxed, all of my girls raved about how friendly she was and our makeup was INCREDIBLE! I would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
