Kaleigh Sent on 06/29/2026Beautiful hair that held all day!
Joanne did a phenomenal job with my hair on my wedding day! It turned out beautiful and held for the entire day. Joanne was easy to work with from setting up the trial through the day of the wedding. The price was very reasonable, and she was very transparent and personable. I would definitely recommend her services. Thanks Joanne! -

I had such a wonderful experience with Joanne and Laurie for my daughter’s wedding. They are both incredibly talented and so thoughtful in how they work. They understand weddings can be stressful, and they were calm, reassuring, and encouraging throughout the process. They checked in often to make sure I loved everything and made me feel completely at ease — every detail was taken care of. Plus, they were so personable and made great conversation while they worked. They helped me feel beautiful and confident on a very special day, and I would highly recommend them! -

Wedding Guest Hair & Makeup Services
My sister-in-law and I used Joanne for makeup services for our niece’s wedding in October, and I also had my hair done by Laurie, and they did such a wonderful job! Both my sister-in-law and I felt beautiful and confident. My hair and our makeup stayed in place all night long. The team was friendly and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend! -

Jolene Sent on 09/09/2025Beautiful Results, Professional Process, and Affordable Too
Joanne and Laurie were absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish! At the trial, they immediately understood the look I was going for and made thoughtful adjustments to perfect the final result. On the wedding day, they handled hair and makeup for me, my four bridesmaids, and our two moms - not only did everyone look stunning, but they kept everything perfectly on schedule and even had us running ahead of time. Their talent and professionalism are evident and they’re experts who know exactly what they’re doing. After researching many HMUAs, I found Joanne and Laurie to be the most affordable option, and yet they don't compromise on quality. I feel so lucky to have found them and couldn’t recommend them more highly! -

Claire Sent on 12/17/2024Wonderful!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Joanne for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the very first consultation, she made me feel completely at ease with her professionalism and expertise. She took the time to listen to my vision and tailored the look to perfectly match my style and the theme of the wedding.
On the big day, she arrived right on time and set up quickly, creating a calm and enjoyable atmosphere for the entire bridal party. Joanne also brought in her talented hairstylist, which was such a wonderful addition! The team worked seamlessly together, ensuring that everything was perfect from head to toe. The makeup was flawless! It enhanced my features while still looking natural and radiant—exactly what I was hoping for. I felt absolutely beautiful all day, and the makeup lasted throughout the ceremony and into the evening without needing any touch-ups.
Not only did she make me look stunning, but she was also such a joy to spend time with. Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft made the entire experience unforgettable. I felt truly pampered.

Desiree Sent on 12/22/2023
Amazing affordable
I just wanted to thank Joanne for doing such a wonderful job on my make up. I even change things up trying to do my own foundation the way I liked it and the color was way off, but she managed to fix everything and make me look so beautiful on my wedding day, she also did my younger sister make up making her look lovely as my maid of honor. Joanne was kind and patient stayed calm through all my nerves and I would recommend her to anyone who asked not only is she talented but she’s extremely affordable as well.
Laurie did a wonderful job styling my hair and my sister‘s hair exactly the way I wanted it, and held up all night! She even took time and help my mom fix her hair, even though that wasn’t on her to do list, she was so kind and attentive. Even made sure I had a glass of champagne when no one else was able to find me some just made my day so perfect.

Great makeup artist experience
I hired Joanne to do the makeup for my wedding. We did a practice session a couple weeks before which worked out great. We picked out most of the colors and shades to use. It made the morning of the wedding run much smoother. She did a great job on myself, the bride and the matron of honor. The makeup lasted throughout the day and night. I only had to reapply my lipstick a couple of times. I received many compliments on my makeup. Joanne was on time and very professional. Her prices were very affordable and reasonable. She even comes with her own line of makeup that is just as good as any well known brands. If you are looking for a makeup artist that will make you look beautiful for your wedding, then I would definitely recommend calling Joanne.

Kathy thanks for taking the time to write me such a nice review and post some photos too. You looked beautiful on your wedding day and I am happy you got so many compliments! Always good to hear how well the makeup stayed on. Def keep me in mind for the future and if anyone else needs a makeup artist feel free to give them my contact info. Thanks again Joanne Kowalski -

Great Work!!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
On your wedding day there are a million things running through your mind! I am very picky about my makeup as I have light skin and can easily look like a clown with too much! Joanne made the whole thing very easy. I described very briefly what I wanted and before I knew it she had a plan! She made me and my bridesmaids feel completely comfortable and it looked amazing all day!!! Even after my outdoor wedding in the heat! Thank you so much Joanne!!Affordable Professional Makeup-Hair-Joanne Kowalski's reply:
thanks Lisa I am so glad that you and your bridesmaids liked the makeup and that it lasted all day in the heat..these are the things I want to hear..Again congratulations and thanks! Joanne Kowalski -

Jeaniemarie Sent on 06/19/2018Amazing make up and hair. Listen to all three of us. Joanne uses her own line of makeup. You can hardly feel it on, it's so lite and did not make my face look oily. I can tell you my makeup stayed on for hours even in the heat.

Joanne did an excellent job with the makeup for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. She was always pleasant and friendly and willing to give advice for those of us that don’t wear makeup often. I was so pleased with how it turned out and we all looked beautiful for the big day. She was also kind enough to take headshots for us after our makeup was completed so we had even more getting ready photos than anticipated. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a makeup artist for their big day! -Kendall -
