Wedding hair and makeup

Shelby made the day of my wedding such a breeze. Her communication was amazing and any thing I had questions on she was more than happy to answer. She was able to provide the perfect look that I wanted for the special day!

Simply the best

Shelby is simply amazing. She was super flexible and came to my hotel for my makeup trial. On the day of, she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable & at ease and made me look absolutely stunning for my big day. She made me feel beautiful and elegant and my hair was exactly what I asked for (as I sent her photos beforehand). Thank you, Shelby!

Shelby was amazing to work with for my wedding. She was very chill and easy to coordinate with, and always easy to get in touch with. I so appreciated that came to my house for a make up trial and made flawless adjustments for the day of! I was so happy with my make up! She also did make up for a few bridesmaids and my
mom, some of who were nervous about having professional makeup done... She made it a great experience for them and they felt gorgeous without feeling over done.

Shelby was amazing to work with! She did hair and makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, and our moms. Everything was so seamless, even with such a large group! We all looked perfect for my big day! My venue was kind of far away, and Shelby was there on time and ready to go! I would definitely work with her again!

Shelby was a sweet angel baby! She was so awesome to work with and always happy and cheerful. I have pretty fine hair and the vintage style updo I wanted seemed impossible to achieve to me but she made it happen. She's a miracle worker. Not only was she amazingly talented,quick, and prompt, but she was awesome to talk to. She made me feel like an old friend was doing my hair. We chatted and laughed during the trial and day of wedding hair. I have a pretty insane schedule with work and my business and she was able to work around it. She offered input and opinions when needed. Shelby drove to my ridiculously stupid far wedding destination and blew me away with the most absolute dream worthy hair imaginable. She even arrived a little earlier than planned which was awesome as it ended up really helping me speed along with the other things in my timeline. She and her assistant had my MOH's hair looking fly in seconds! I will continue to recommend her services to anyone who asks or will listen!!!! I got nothing but compliments all day on my hair, and I truly feel like Shelby is the kind of woman I'd love to sit down and pound some tequila shots and margs with. Call me girl!!!!

Shelby is super chill and easy to work with. We did a hair trial prior to my wedding day but I opted to just wing the makeup day of. I showed her a few pictures and she delivered a look better than I could have described. My hair is long and naturally curly and she created a super pretty side do and secured a hair clip. In all, my hair and makeup only took 1 hour and lasted all night long.

Shelby went above and beyond on my special day. To start off with, she personally kept in touch with me thru text and email from day one. Then on the day of my wedding she was there even before i was which was beyond helpful because i had a couple people to add onto my wedding party for hair and makeup, which she was more than happy to accommodate me with. She was fast, professionally, and amazing with everyones hair and makeup, and it lasted all thru the day and after even with all the happy tears and sweat from dancing. Shelby then reached out to me after the wedding day, to see how everything went which i wasnt expecting and was very happy with. I will be sure to recommend Shelby to all my family and friends who are considering professionall hair or makeup for their big day. :)

Shelby was absolutely amazing to work with! Shelby provided hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. She was easy to communicate with prior to the wedding day, she was professional, she easily adjusted to last minute changes with makeup and made the overall experience of getting prepared a fun one. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone looking for hair and makeup for any event.

Shelby did a wonderful job with my wedding hair and makeup and also for my wedding party! She listened to what I wanted and accommodated my last minute changes! She even did my flower girl's hair as a last minute request! Shelby had a long way to travel but was right on time and did her best to work everyone in even when we were not as prompt! Would definitely recommend! :)
