I have always been self-conscious to be an adult woman who didn't how to curl or style my hair, but that all changed after my lesson with Ashlyn! She was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience enjoyable and easy to follow. She taught me how to curl and style my hair in a way that actually works for me, and now I can confidently do it myself at home! I’ve never felt so happy with my hair, and my confidence has never been higher. I highly recommend booking her private hair and makeup lessons—it’s truly a worthwhile investment!

I can't say enough good things about Ashlyn and her team! From the very beginning, Ashlyn was so responsive and answered all of my questions promptly, making me feel completely at ease. The trial run was a great experience, and she took the time to make sure I felt confident and happy with my look. On the day of the wedding, everything went flawlessly. Ashlyn and her team were professional, efficient, and made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and pampered. Their communication throughout the entire process was top-notch, ensuring there were no surprises and everything went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Ashlyn to anyone looking for a talented and dependable makeup artist for their special day!

Oh my goodness! Where do I even start?! I first discovered Transformations Artistry while browsing Instagram for wedding hair inspiration. All of Ashlyn’s content was so dreamy and romantic! One day, Ashlyn posted that she was looking for a hair model with blonde or highlighted, thick, mid-length hair. At the time, my hair was short, brown, and fine, but I messaged her anyway—and I'm so glad I did! Ashlyn didn't shy away from the challenge, and my hair had never looked so beautiful! (See pics with the white long-sleeve shirt.) Even though I was nervous, Ashlyn put me at ease the moment I walked into her fairytale home studio. It felt like chatting with an old friend while simultaneously being pampered. Had I not already booked a different company, I would have hired Transformation Artistry on the spot for my wedding hair and makeup—no questions asked.

Later, I decided to go to Transformations Artistry again for a winter gala. I arrived at Ashlyn's studio a bit behind schedule, but her calming presence assured me that everything would be fine. She created the prettiest updo in just 15 minutes! Not only did she ensure I made it to my event on time, but I also received compliments all night long. (See the photos in the black dress.)

When it came time for my wedding hair and makeup trials with the studio I had originally hired, my worst nightmare as a bride came true—the trial was awful. It lasted 4+ hours, and the artist was unable to execute either style I wanted. I left feeling defeated, wondering if the styles I chose were too challenging. In a panic, I called Ashlyn, on the verge of tears, and explained what happened. She went out of her way to fit me in for a trial to test the styles I thought were "too challenging." Y'all, Ashlyn was truly my fairy godmother—within 45 minutes, she had completely nailed both styles! I felt so validated and relieved, knowing the problem wasn't with me or my choices. I immediately canceled my services with the other artist and booked Ashlyn for both my rehearsal and wedding day.

Leading up to the wedding day, Ashlyn was prompt and clear in her communication and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience from here on out, including sharing educational content like skincare tips to ensure my makeup looked flawless on wedding day. I followed every tip and you’d never be able to tell that I used to have severe acne - my skin has never looked better! I got my rehearsal HMU done at 10 a.m. as our venue was out of town, and both my hair and makeup still looked flawless through a 98-degree rehearsal at 3 p.m. and even after dinner ended at 9 p.m.! (See floral Hill House dress and white satin dress pictures.)

What amazes me the most about Ashlyn is how she continually strives to improve her craft. I'm blind in one eye, and it's noticeably smaller than my other eye—a source of insecurity for me. I had shared this with Ashlyn when discussing makeup. On the wedding day, Ashlyn arrived promptly and after chatting for a few minutes, she told me, "I went back and studied the pictures from yesterday to see how I could improve, and I think I've come up with a makeup trick to make the difference less noticeable." I was blown away. I thought my rehearsal makeup was perfect, but Ashlyn's dedication to continuous improvement and her genuine care for me were so evident. It made me feel so incredibly special. I was fortunate to have Ashlyn stay for touch-ups and a quick hairstyle change during the cocktail hour—which was such a blessing because it was hot, and I was sweaty. She breathed new life into my hair, and my reception photos looked so much better because of it!

If you've made it this far in my review, you probably know what I'm going to say—Ashlyn is THE BEST! She is simply unmatched in her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients. With Ashlyn, you are not just another client; you are someone she truly cares about, and it shows in every detail. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly exceptional hair and makeup experience!
