A Great Hair and Makeup Team!

Smudge was a great vendor choice for my wedding! Amber was so responsive and flexible, even when we decided last minute to add an additional hair service. Kristy and Stephanie were absolutely WONDERFUL right from the trial to the day of the wedding, they listened to exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job with all of my bridesmaids as well. I highly recommend the whole Smudge team to anyone looking for hair and makeup services!

Thank you!

Amber as well as my artists Stephanie and Kristy were fantastic to work with! Stephanie and Kristy were the stylists for my September wedding working with both myself as the bride and my wedding party plus moms. Stephanie and Kristy were meticulous with so much attention to detail. They made everyone feel comfortable and it was so fun having them with us the morning of the wedding. When I had some changes and tweaks from my trial, they were stress free and made me feel that there was no worries. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup! It lasted all throughout the evening even with the rain! (Which I did not hesitate to take pictures in so that should speak for itself!) Would recommend to anyone in the area!
