Jessica is an incredible makeup artist. I wanted to feel like a more elevated version of myself on my wedding day while still looking like “me”. She nailed it and I felt beautiful and confident. My makeup held up all day (even through happy tears)! She did a great job with my entire bridal party. If you are looking for makeup, go with Jessica!

I had the great pleasure of having Polina do my makeup and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding. She was timely, kept the vibe going through the preparation process, and made the overall experience fantastic. Though she offered a trial, we decided to go straight to the wedding because of our meeting and the samples she provided. She was very professional and was able to create both classic and modern styles that my mother and bridesmaids were so happy with. The pictures came out fantastic we could not be happier with the service that Polina provided. Thank you again for making our day extra special. Thank you so much Polina, Ariana

Cristina was incredible! She went above and beyond my expectations for a makeup artist! She made the whole experience stress free and comforting(during Covid). She was understanding and extremely flexible with dates when we had to postpone due to the pandemic. Her and her assistant were professional and so kind, I highly recommend!

Susan was so wonderful! She traveled to my parents house (with a person who also did makeup) to do my hair and my matron of honor's hair. It was so nice to have someone come to the house so that we did not have to worry about traveling and time schedules. She did a fantastic job and I received many compliments and my hair held up all night long!

Not having used her before or having read many reviews about her work, we did a trial with Genn for my daughters sweet sixteen party and were thrilled with her work. Her work is AMAZING! A true artist and very professional. She came on site for the wedding to the Inn at Erlowest and did the makeup for the wedding party, bride, mob, and grandmother. She took the time with each person to see what look they were looking to achieve, natural, dramatic, romantic etc. and then made it happen and look natural! Everyone looked beautiful. The makeup stayed on all night. You will not be disappointed with her services.

If you are looking for bridal makeup stop your search right here because Rachel is truly the best decision you will ever make. Not only did she understand exactly what I wanted my makeup to look like for my wedding, she also was a calming and needed presence amidst the chaos. I got into her chair overwhelmed and letting the emotions of the day get to me and within minutes I was laughing and felt completely at ease. She will make you look and feel your best and I cant recommend Rachel enough. Not only was my makeup fantastic, the other members of the bridal party could not have been more thrilled with how their makeup turned out. Rachel is truly a master of her craft and I am so lucky to have had her be a part of my day.

I’m so grateful I chose Kirsten as my makeup artist! From our first phone call, I could tell that she was a true expert who loves her job, as well as a kind person. Her background as an esthetician helped me to relax, knowing that I was in good hands. She even recommended skin care products that I continue to use after my wedding! Kerstin maintained clear communication the entire time, using contracts/scheduling/systems that pointed to her experience. On my wedding day and during the trial she cared so much about making the outcome exactly what I envisioned, offering her expertise and suggesting options but not pushing her own opinion. She was flexible and creative, using products that would not irritate my sensitive eyes as I unexpectedly was dealing with seasonal allergies. Her work ethic and professionalism are top notch. Her artistry helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Would recommend!

Janette and her team go up and beyond for their clients, so I didn't think twice about booking them for my wedding . They came to me and my bridal party on our big day and provided us with amazing service. Everyone commented on how awesome our hair and make up looked. There was no stress during my bridal trial or when she did my hair for my shower or even the day of. Everything went smoothly and came out absolutely perfect. I could not be happier with the level of service we received. If you are looking for someone to put your trust into for your big day this is the salon to go to. Thank you Salon Onaj!

Hair by Amanda Our wedding was on Friday October 24th 2025. I have been going to Amanda for my hair appointments for almost 10 years. When I was getting married I knew I wanted her to do my bridal hair and makeup. She did a bridal trial where I was able to go in and test out a hairstyle and makeup I wanted for the day of my wedding. She gave me ideas of hair accessories to buy for certain hairstyles that I wanted. The day of the wedding she did my hair and makeup. She also did my bridal party's hair. I had a total of 5 bridesmaids hair, mother’s hair, mother-in-law's hair and my own. She started at 7 am and ended at 12:30 pm. She got all 8 of us done and my makeup in perfect time. All of our hair and makeup looked beautiful and she truly did an amazing job. I even changed my mind about what eyelash extensions I wanted and she ordered them and had them delivered within hours to the venue! She is outstanding at what she does and I highly recommend her for hair and makeup for weddings and any hair appointment needs!

She is very talented and was able to work with my preferences. She had all of the shades available. I am not one for winged eyeliner, but as a bride, I wanted to stand out with my make up. She made it happen without the winged eyeliner. Hands down the best makeup artist, better than the ones in MAC and Sephora! I received so many compliments on my make up and my pictures came out gorgeous thanks to her!
