    Can not recommend Janis More!

    I had the most amazing experience working with Janis. She was kind, friendly, responsive and a pleasure to work with. From the moment I initially spoke with her on the phone it was clear that she was kind and caring, and that everything she did was in the best interest of her clients. Add that to the fact that her airbrush makeup was extremely affordable, and it was a no-brainer to go with her. I even recommended her to be used for my friends wedding this year as well! Janis listened to what I said about how I like my makeup, and made it a reality. As someone that does not usually wear a lot, she did a nice job giving me a natural look while still making me feel like a stunning bride. She even told me how she got new colors right before my wedding and that she ordered them with my skin color in mind, which was beyond thoughtful. She listened to each of my bridesmaids and mom/mother-in-law opinions for themselves and what makeup they wanted and adjusted everyone's makeup so that it brought out each of their best features and made them look their best. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her more!

    I loved my makeup!

    Janis did the makeup for myself, 8 bridesmaids, my mom and MIL. 11 people! She is very professional and knows her stuff! Everyone’s makeup looked great and lasted the whole day! Would highly recommend!

    Janis and Johanna were amazing!

    They arrived on time and stayed late for touch-ups. They were very cognizant of our needs and worked with patience and diligence. Janis was also exceptionally responsive to my emails. Thank you both again! Would recommend them for your next event!

    Perfect for the "natural" bride

    I met Janis as the makeup artist for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in and immediately wanted to hire her for my own wedding the following year. As someone who never wears makeup it was important to me that I didn't feel too overdone on my wedding day. Even as a bridesmaid I felt she really listened and understood this. When it came to my wedding she was so easy to work with. She had me, my 3 bridesmaids, mother, and MIL all done ahead of schedule and we were all so happy with how our looks came out! She did such a perfect job enhancing my natural look to make me feel a little extra beautiful on such a special day.

    Amazing professional, affordable, and brings joy to all

    Wowww! I loved working with Janis for my wedding. She was so flexible and easy going. We had a really extensive chat before doing a trial and she accommodated both me and my mom, who does not normally wear makeup, for our trial. THIS WAS CLUTCH!

    We originally decided on a little bit “more” than I would normally do for a face full of makeup since it was meant to be a special day, but as I got closer to the wedding day, I backtracked a bit and decided to go far more natural. Janis rolled with it all.

    When the day came, Janis made everything so easy for us all by having a detailed timing plan for the 9 women getting hair and makeup, but when one or two were late, she was able to shift on the fly and keep going - what a professional.

    The fact that my mom had done a trial with her in advance put both her and my mother-in-law (also not a makeup wearer) at ease with doing something a little special without feeling like they were going to look like different people.

    Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and I love how Janis explains each little thing she’s doing and why she decides to do it that way, and in the end, I LOVED my natural looking makeup. I felt so incredibly beautiful AND myself… and the look on my husband’s face when he saw me said it all.

    Beautiful makeup, great personality

    Janis was so great to work with! I love her go-get-em, no nonsense attitude and she was both reassuring and fun to have with us on our wedding day. She responded quickly to every question I sent her way during the planning and did a beautiful job with everyone’s makeup. We had Johanna for hair, and she also did a wonderful job. They arrived at the venue and set up before I even got there, and were efficiently going through our list of 10 people for hair/makeup before I’d managed to check in on them! They ensured everything went smoothly and on time for our early afternoon photoshoots. Beautiful Faces was a great choice at an amazing price for the area - cannot recommend enough! Thank you for everything.

    Awesome team of Janis and Jojo

    After going through my first hair and makeup trial with someone else, I was not happy at all. I knew that I wanted hair and makeup as a package deal, so I messaged Janis, and she got me in right away for a trial. I can't even tell you the relief I felt after my second trial. My hair and makeup looked amazing! Janis and Jojo are also so sweet and personable, they made the morning of the wedding so much fun. Janis took my feedback of wanting an even more natural look, and I thought my hair and makeup came out even better the day of the wedding. I am so happy that I went with them!!

    Better than I could've imagined

    I just got married in June and I’ve already recommended Janis to someone who booked her for their wedding. I really cannot recommend Janis and Johanna enough. The easiest vendor you’ll work with, she calmed every fear I had and had so much knowledge about everything related to makeup, beauty, and weddings!

    
My bridesmaids and mom were all in love with their hair and makeup, they all looked so stunning! The morning-of was so relaxed, we were all done ahead of schedule, with plenty of time for touchups and photos.

    I don’t have much knowledge of makeup and I let Janis take the lead and I am so happy I did! I wish I could have her do my makeup for every event. I can’t imagine a better hair & makeup team. They helped set the tone for the day and I’m so thankful for Janis and Johanna!

    Talented Team That Made Me Feel Gorgeous

    I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about Janis. She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life, and every part of my experience with her was easy and enjoyable.

    Before getting into my experience, I'd like to share just a few things of note that may help other brides in their decision to book (which they should!):

    Affordability: Janis was by far one of the most reasonably-priced artists I spoke with. She totally understands that brides are often charged an arm and a leg for hair and makeup services and her pricing was incredibly reasonable - my bridesmaids agreed with me.

    Cleanliness: I was a COVID bride, and pretty attuned to the need for brushes to be cleaned / only used once. This was never a concern with Janis as her professionalism and experience showed in how she implements hygienic practices.

    The look: I am NOT a makeup person. I have super fair skin and generally don't wear much aside from mascara. I told this to Janis and mentioned that I wanted to look as natural as possible, but with some elevated glam for my day. She totally listened to what I was saying, and even adjusted my eyes / lips to be not as heavy so I'd feel more comfortable. She took copious notes from my trial, and I ended up feeling the most beautiful I ever have on my wedding day. She has a ton of experience and it certainly shows in her level of talent.

    Now for some of the other reasons I can't say enough good things. First, Janis was super responsive. She was easy to get a hold of, and even reached out to me preemptively to book my trial date / time when she noticed her calendar was filling up. She was also very understanding and did not charge me when I needed to reschedule during the pandemic (which was soo appreciated). When I came to her home for my trial, she baked blueberry muffins and offered me one! Which just shows how warm and inviting she is. Lastly, my sister in law, who was one of my bridesmaids, had begun chemotherapy in the months preceding the wedding. Janis told me she would make sure she felt beautiful. Janis gave her a look she loved, and Jojo (who did our hair) styled her wig in a gorgeous waterfall braid. It made my day to know she felt so beautiful and I owe that to Janis and Jojo.

    As mentioned, Jojo did our hair, and was recommended by Janis. She is also amazingly talented, and super sweet. One of my friends, who's hair stylist bailed on her, recently booked Jojo for her wedding per my recommendation. Before meeting Jojo, I thought up-dos just did not look good on me. But she took my input and gave me a style that made me feel elegant and beautiful.

    Thank you Janis and Jojo! Me and my bridesmaids absolutely adore you.

    Amazing!!!

    Oh my gosh - Janis and Johanna are incredible!! At the trial I knew I made the right choice! I never thought I could look so good, haha. Then, on the wedding day- they were just a bit early, which was perfect for my anxiety levels! They did so amazing on me and my girls!! They are so friendly, and made the morning so enjoyable and relaxing. I would recommend to anyone who needs professional makeup to hire these ladies!!

    I've never looked so good and I probably never will again!!!

    Janis was amazing! I have never looked so good in my life and I probably never will again! My makeup was flawless and natural, I looked like myself but better! Jojo did an amazing job on my hair and it stayed in place (down and curly even though my hair NEVER holds curls) through dancing the whole night! I have 9 bridesmaids and a MOG getting services and Janis and her team were fast and efficient and everybody looked great! Also a great value as many other vendors I looked at were much more expensive. I am so glad I chose Janis and Jojo and I cannot recommend them enough!

    Janis and JoJo were AMAZING

    When I was looking for hair / makeup for my August wedding I definitely wanted something more natural. I am one of the first of my friends to get married, so have not been involved in a lot of weddings (yet) & heard horror stories of people’s makeup being too excessive or just looking nothing like themselves. Janis knew exactly what I needed and listened to what I asked and I received SO many compliments with how beautiful I looked and I felt like I looked my best (while still looking like myself) - some of my bridesmaids weren’t even going to do makeup at first and decided after seeing the first two get theirs done to do it too! She was amazing.

    For hair - JoJo was an absolute boss. She had torn her Achilles that week prior and legit came rolling in with her knee on a scooter still ready to roll. She did 12 of our hairs (yes, 12) all while probably struggling with foot pain. She KILLED it with the bridesmaids (even with some odd requests) and when it was my turn, she exceeded expectations with my low bun for my open back dress. Our hair stayed in all night (even through 3 hours of dancing and at 2 am it still looked perfectly in tact after more dancing in the after party bar).

    I can’t recommend this team enough! They listen to what you want and will make sure you look your absolute best!!

    Thank you janis and jojo!

    Having the right team on your side for you big day is key and I cannot state it enough! Thank goodness for Janis - she is truly the best in her field. She handled my bridal makeup as well as all of my 7 bridesmaids, mother and two aunts! From the moment I met her at my trial, I knew I was in good hands. She is an expert with covering any and all blemishes and is flawless with her application. I know everyone tells the bride that they are the most beautiful, but the number of compliments I got on my big day were just incredible. JoJo did all of our hair and she also did an amazing job. She took my vision of "bridal ponytail" to life and made me feel like a true princess. All of my girls loved their hairstyles as well and they all lasted the whole dance-filled night! Beyond making us look good, the two of them and the makeup assistant were fantastic to get ready with. We had such a good time with them and Janis was great about making sure I felt calm and taken care of! I cannot recommend them enough, and in fact, my MOH is rebooking them for her engagement shoot. 10/10!

    BEST hair and makeup experience possible

    It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful Janis and Jojo are. They are a dream team - punctual, talented, professional, kind, fun-loving. Janis is by far the most responsive/communicative person I’ve ever worked with, responding to all emails within minutes. She was beyond understanding and adaptable when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. I was in love with my wedding hair and makeup - it was so glam and I felt like a queen, but also still felt like “me” - Janis really understood what I wanted. ALL 11 (!!) of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup looked stunning, too. Thank you both for making this the BEST experience.

    Fun at the Doubletree

    I cannot think of anyone better to have done my wedding day makeup! Janis was absolutely amazing. From her responsiveness through email or text to her warm and friendly personality and her amazing knowledge of makeup- she is the perfect package! She offers a bridal trial and she went above and beyond and even did a trial for my mother and mother in law. She made us feel right at home. The wedding morning could not have gone any more smoothly! She made all us girls look absolutely flawless and natural. She was so fun, upbeat and efficient in making sure the morning ran without any issues. She made me feel absolutely beautiful!

    Perfect Glam!

    Planning my wedding during the pandemic was extra stressful, but Janis came through without a hitch. She was responsive very quickly and had Saturday availability with not a lot of notice! She always responded to my emails within a few hours which was comforting. She also connected me to my hair stylist, Johanna, who did an amazing job despite completely changing my look from the trial on my wedding day! Janis clearly knew what she was doing at the trial, and was able to translate exactly what I envisioned onto my face. On the day of my wedding she was completely timely and we had fun while getting ready. She used the newest and professional products. She even had special products for my Mom who has sensitive skin. Janis was affordable and did an amazing job, I highly recommend her!

    Janis is the real deal

    I had my hair and makeup done by Janis and JoJo. My mom's hair and makeup was also done. We had so much fun at the trial- Janis is an expert- knows the products and has the experience. The day of my wedding both Janis and JoJo came to my home. They were fun, relaxed, and kept us both calm. I highly recommend her services.

    Organized and Beautiful

    Janis and Amanda were awesome! Our entire bridal party felt pampered and beautiful. They were so organized and we never felt rushed at all. I’ve already sent their information to a few other brides. I highly recommend them.

    Make up lasted all night and was beautiful!

    I can’t say enough good things about Janis. She is the sweetest and most helpful person that I have met during my wedding planning journey. She worked through multiple change of plans with me and was very supportive. Her make up skills are amazing and it lasted all night even though we all got rained on. She is professional, shows up early to set up and stays until everyone has been touched up. She even went above and beyond to help fix my hair after a slight hair disaster. If you are looking for a make up artist I would definitely recommend Janis and her team. You will not be disappointed!
