Exactly what I needed!

I had a great experience with Haley and her team from Simply Hair and Makeup! The trial experience was super fun; I felt like she really listened to my concerns and delivered the perfect makeup and hair for my wedding day (very beautiful, timeless, and photographed so well!) She is so professional and accommodating as well as a joy to hang out with; I couldn't recommend her enough!

Simply Makeup and Hair did an amazing job!

I booked Simply Makeup and Hair for my wedding and had the absolute pleasure of working with Chelsea and Haley. They were both so kind, professional, funny, and punctual — truly a dream team! They made the entire morning so relaxed and enjoyable, and every single one of us looked amazing.

They gave great advice, clear direction, and were so easy to work with from start to finish. I received so many compliments on my wedding hair — Chelsea is an artist and a true master of her craft. I’ll always be so grateful that I was able to work with her!

If you’re looking for a team who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of on your wedding day, I can’t recommend Simply Makeup and Hair enough! 💕

Great hair and makeup experience! Prompt & stylish

Ariel did a phenomenal job with my hair and makeup and the rest of the bridal party. During our trial she was patient with me asking questions and was open to feedback to ensure I got the exact look I was looking for. While getting ready for the wedding she was extremely prompt and we were ahead of schedule! She is so sweet and does amazing work with both hair and makeup. Highly recommend!

Excellent Stylist & Make-up

Chelsea is an amazing and calm stylist! She did hair and make-up for three of us for my daughter’s wedding. My girls looked stunning and my make-up and hair received many compliments ! It lasted all night! Thank you so much to Chelsea and her amazing team 💞

Friendly, flexible, and everyone looked great!

Overall a great experience! Booking was very easy. Everything was taken care of in emails and communication was super clear. They were even able to accommodate a last-minute add-on appointment to the end of our hair schedule, which I was so grateful for! I worked with Ariel to have my hair, as well as the bridesmaids and moms' hair done for my wedding and she did a fantastic job! She's so friendly and easy to work with and kept on schedule really well, too. Everyone's hair looked great and even held up on a very humid, sweaty wedding day!

Backyard Wedding

Haley did my makeup and hair for my wedding and made the trial and day of so easy and stress free. She made all of the adjustments I asked for after my trial and was able to take the inspiration photos that I used and turn them into exactly what I was looking for. She's also so sweet and pleasant to work with!

Made us all look and feel beautiful!

We had a really great experience working with Simply Hair & Makeup for our October wedding. Haley was so kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with over e-mail. She made planning everything a breeze. Chelsea and Sable did excellent work with everyone's hair and makeup. They are both very skilled and professional, and their calm demeanors made getting ready so chill and fun -- even for my 96-year-old grandmother! Thank you all so much. :)

Clear communication and ahead of schedule

Everything was wonderful working with Simply Makeup and Hair - from the initial inquiry information from Haley to the clear communication throughout for the trial and wedding day timeline to the day-of onsite services! Maggie did a wonderful job during my trial working with my inspiration pictures and listening to what I wanted. We made some modifications to hair during that process and she was so patient to make sure it was what I wanted. She perfectly replicated that style on my wedding day so I felt like my most beautiful self! She did a wonderful job on everyone else's makeup and eyelashes as well. Emily also did a wonderful job on the hair for the bridesmaids and mothers. Everyone has so happy with their styles. Both were so cognizant of the time too and got us finished ahead of schedule!! Highly recommend!

I worked with Simply Makeup and Hair in May 2013 and can't say enough about how awesome their team was. They came in and went right to work, and were done much quicker than I anticipated, and that's saying a lot considering there were 8 bridesmaids plus the bride to get ready. They became part of the group that morning. It was nice to work with a team that was as time concious as I am. I didn't have to keep running back to their room to make sure they were on schedule. They also stuck around until the group was done taking pictures outside to do any last minute touchups. I highly recommend Simply Makeup & Hair for your wedding!
