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 ❤️

Bridal Dream Come True

Shelby was a dream to work with! I hired her to support me and my bridesmaids with our hair and makeup on my wedding day. She helped me bring my vision to life and I felt radiant. She's also super sweet as well as professional. Highly recommended!

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!

10/10 recommend!

Shelby was an all around wonderful person to work with! I had never had a facial or professional makeup done before and she was sure to always explain what she was doing and to make me comfortable! She exceeded the expectations of me and my girls makeup and hair providing us with soft glowy glam and elegant do’s that lasted all throughout the night! We not only loved her work, we loved even just being around her! Hoping I can use her again for future events!

Highly recommend Shelby for bridal hair and makeup

She was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented at both hair and makeup. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, and she was so accommodating to everyone’s needs. Myself, my family, and my friends all felt beautiful and so well taken care of. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone warm, skilled, and reliable.

I felt stunning on my Wedding Day!

I can't say enough good things about Shelby!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding on 10/04/24 and I was just blown away with how well it all turned out. Her professionalism, kindness, and skills were beyond incredible. After my trial, she was open to any feedback that I had and she absolutely delivered on the big day! I had to hold back tears of happiness because I felt absolutely gorgeous for our wedding day. I even booked her to do my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner the night before because she was so incredible. Thank you, Shelby!!

Amazing Experience- Very Fun

I hired Shelby to do makeup for my engagement photos and WOW. I am not naturally good at makeup and I didn’t know I could feel so good in my skin. I was nervous going into it because I’ve never had my makeup done professionally. Shelby made me feel super comfortable and did a great job. 10/10!!!!
