Oregon Coast Wedding

I hired Shelby for my outdoor wedding in September at the coast. She was so accommodating, flexible, and professional. She did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup! Her work held up beautifully throughout the whole day, and even lasted after I got slightly rained on. I recommend her highly ❤️

Dream Team

Shelby and her team were INCREDIBLE in making my bridal dreams come true. I knew exactly what I wanted, and Shelby made it come to life but even better. She listened to me, made me feel so comfortable, responded to my feedback and helped me perfect my dream wedding day look. The trial was so good and somehow the day off was even better. She made my girls look and feel beautiful too. We had some complicated requests, and Shelby and her team handled them with ease. My husband told me after the wedding that the boys heard the girls upstairs laughing so much, they thought we were having more fun than them (true). We loved having Valaer Artistry on our day, and I've never felt more beautiful. Thank you Shelby and Steph!

Thanks Shelby!

I adored how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding. Shelby has such a fun personality and is truly talented. She also did makeup for 8 others and it was so cool to watch everyone's makeup come together in a way that suited each person. She made sure I was happy with every part of my look, and made me feel comfortable asking for any changes after the trial. I would recommend her to anyone!

Must Have Artist!

I used Shelby for my wedding hair and makeup for me and 5 bridesmaids! Shelby is the epitome of a 5 star business owner! She communicated with me with in her allocated hours every time I had a question or concern! She offered a variety of availability for the trial beforehand and was so flexible! She showed up on time ready to go and was so personable to me and all of the bridesmaids! My makeup was so light for wanting full coverage and it last all night through tears and sweat! My hair felt great and secure with minimal spray/bobby pinning for a half up/half down look! She was amazing and I will be recommending her to anyone who asks!

10 out of 10 experience

Shelby is so wonderful. I had the pleasure of having Shelby doing my hair and makeup for my wedding. As soon as I sat down in her chair to talk about my vision for my wedding I felt so comfortable. Not only did my hair and makeup turn out exactly as I hoped, but Shelby was so easy to talk to. She also made both my mom and my mother in law look and feel great on our wedding day. She is so kind and generous with her time and skills. 1000 out 10 would recommend hiring Shelby!
