    Book them!

    Book them RIGHT NOW! My wedding planner HIGHLY recommended Blush, and they came through. Every single bridesmaid was talking about how they have never liked how their hair and makeup when they were in other weddings… but every single one of them was impressed. One of my bridesmaids is even looking to book them for her own wedding. Thank you Wendy and Noelle and the rest of the Blush team for helping make my wedding day perfect!!!

    A Beautiful Bride

    I had the pleasure of having Noelle do my hair for our wedding and Christie do my makeup. I was able to set up trials with both of them and they were so accommodating since I lived 6 hours away and I was able to do both in the same day! They were both BEYOND amazing and really brought my dreams into reality for my big day. I also had 11 other ladies that got their hair and makeup done and they were all finished within a timely manner and looked stunning!! I can't recommend them enough as I truly felt the most beautiful on my wedding day than I ever have - they really knew how to accentuate my natural features to really take it to the next level. They were also just such kind and wonderful people to work with :)

    So beautiful!

    I was super apprehensive about hair and makeup and making sure that I looked and felt like myself on my wedding day. I am SO thankful that I ended up choosing Blush- I felt beautiful and very much like myself. Wendy helped me organize everything and was so kind and responsive (thank you Wendy!). Jen and Noelle were AMAZING. Both were calming presences who were super willing to make adjustments on the fly. I couldn’t be happier!

    Lovely and Fun

    Wendy and Amanda were the perfect team for my hair and makeup. Amanda worked with me to create the perfect up-do for me and my 3 bridesmaids. Wendy loved my inspiration and created not only the perfect look for me but coordinated with my bridesmaids to make sure we looked our best. I loved that they were able to come to our get ready space and take care of everyone in one space. They are super responsive and time friendly. Also just great people to work with!

    Incredible!

    Wendy and Amy from Blush are incredible - both in their talent/skill and in their personality! They did my makeup and hair (as well as my bridesmaids) for my wedding and truly I could not have asked for more!

    Breathtaking Excitement

    Knowing I could decently do my own makeup and hair there was no need for a professional. After splurging on the photographer and videographer I wanted the pictures to turn out wonderful! Awesome photos meant a look more than a decent nonprofessional bride would have time to spare. Wendy responded to my query within 24 hours and never pressured me into choosing her team.

    Wendy met us at The Lion and the Rose by our venue and already had everything ready for our arrival. I was running behind schedule being a DIY bride and not calculating how long decorating would take. Wendy didn’t hesitate in suggesting to send a bridesmaid while we finished up DIYing. Upon arriving at our room in the Bed and Breakfast I was able to relax for several minutes while my bridesmaids were being beautified. Nerves started to seep in with no distractions to ease my mind. However, the Blush team had us in stitches and took my mind far from my shyness of everyone watching me as I walk down the aisle.

    I only cared about an updo for the bridesmaids and had thought nothing past that. Their hair turned out perfect for an Old Hollywood glam look! I was ecstatic for both girls to enjoy their looks and feel absolutely beautiful. I’m thankful to have found Blush Asheville because Old Hollywood glamour was in abundance with my hair and makeup! I felt absolutely stunning. Oh, and my makeup still rocked post pictures at the bed and breakfast with my new hubby!!

    You guys were splendtastic and I’m beyond grateful for how you guys made all three of us feel on my start of forever!!

    The BEST wedding day glam squad!

    Wendy and Amanda did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and I absolutely couldn’t recommend them more! My Airbnb was literally in the woods, but they were both super patient with me as I tried to help them navigate the confusing directions. I had a blast getting ready with them and they transformed me into a true queen. Seriously, go with Blush Asheville as your glam squad, you won’t be disappointed!

    Wendy will make all of your makeup dreams come true!

    Wendy is the absolute BEST. From the beginning, I felt like she completely understood the look I was going for. She nailed it on my first (and only) makeup trial. She absorbed the info I gave her, some of it specific and some vague, to create the most amazing makeup for my wedding. My bridesmaids loved her, she was so fun and entertaining in the bridal suite. She fit in perfectly and helped create a fun vibe for our bridal suite. She made me feel so beautiful and elegant. If I were local, I would have Wendy do my makeup any chance I got. She is a very, very talented artist and I know you will not regret going with her for your makeup needs. Communicating with her was such an easy process and very simple. If you want your makeup to be flawless, go with Wendy.

    Amazing makeup

    Wendy was an absolute delight to work with! Even through covid, she was amazing and I never had a worry. I told her a little bit about what I wanted for my wedding and left things up to her. She defiantly delivered! I loved my makeup and the rest of the bridal party was just as satisfied. Even my Mother, who is very hard to please and wanted a very natural look. Not to mention, Wendy is so much fun!

    Perfection!

    I have extensive background in the beauty industry and was stressing over who was going to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. My wedding planner (Mary Bell Events) understood my hesitation and recommended Wendy. Wendy and her team exceeded everything single expectation I had and the moment I sat down, I felt completely comfortable. Wendy and Amy handled my, a bit overbearing, stepmother seamlessly and got all my girls done well ahead of schedule.
    My girls and I loved their work and they made us ALL feel like queens for a day! Blush is quite simply the best that there is!
    Wendy is the sweetest soul, so fun to be around, and fun to talk to! Highly recommend - you WILL NOT regret it!

    Talented and Fun

    Wendy and her crew are hands down the best choice you can make for your wedding beauty needs. They are perfect professionals and experts at their craft. My girls and I had the best time getting ready for the wedding with her team, as they are an absolute blast to hang out with. In addition to this, they were able to listen to everyone’s beauty needs and fulfill them perfectly. I highly recommend.

    Helped in a pinch

    I originally went to a different makeup artist that was well reviewed. My experience was awful as the makeup job was horrible (I could have done better myself and I no nothing about makeup). So with only a few weeks till my wedding I was scrambling for a new makeup artist. This site caught my attention as they said they used traditional makeup, not airbrush, which is exactly what I wanted. I reached out to Wendy & to my great surprise, she was able to fit me in. My makeup artist, Talicia, was friendly and crazy knowledgeable about makeup. Talicia helped me even though she had an appointment before & after me. I received so many compliments on her makeup job & the lady at the wedding venue said she'd never seen such good makeup on any bride. I highly recommend this business for the use of traditional makeup, the expertise of Talicia, and the willingness of both Wendy & Talicia to find a spot for me at the last moment!

    Mom and I were Thrilled!

    I was absolutely thrilled with my makeup by Christie and loved every minute of the process. She is so incredibly talented and made me feel relaxed and confident on my wedding day. Her experience, knowledge, and artistry are matched by her joyful, calming presence. I love how my makeup looked and my mom loved her look as well! Thanks, Blush!

    Wendy was wonderful to work with and I loved my wedding day look!

    Wendy did my make-up for my wedding in March and was incredible. She was so easy to work with -- very responsive, flexible, everything you could possibly want in a wedding vendor. She took the time to understand what kind of look I was going for and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Could not recommend Wendy more highly.

    Beautiful work

    Christy did my makeup and that of my mother, sister, and both my mother and sister in laws to be. She also did lashes for two girlfriends. Christy did a fantastic job of enhancing natural beauty without overdoing it which was really important to me. Everyone’s makeup looked fantastic and Christie was on time, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable!

    Fun, informative and wonderful experience!

    Wendy not only did a fabulous makeover for our group of "golden girls" but she professionally and patiently explained different techniques and products to enhance our senior needs. Wendy took the time to listen to each of our expectations and anticipated outcomes. She tailored each makeup session to each individual along with detailed instructions. Wendy gave each of us a recommended affordable product list for application at home. This makeover lesson was a FUN, informative and wonderful experience. Blush Asheville is the BEST!!!!!

    Kristen did the makeup for myself, my mom and my four bridesmaids. She is the best! I had a trial with her almost a year earlier and she remembered all of my preferences for makeup. She was prompt with communication prior to the wedding and arrived on time on our wedding morning. She listened to everyone's preferences for makeup and made everyone feel like the most beautiful version of themselves. She was so fun to have around on the day of the wedding and made us all feel calm during a hectic time! We were done with plenty of time to spare and we looked beautiful throughout the entire evening.

    Where to start?! From the moment my sister (Matron of Honor) and I met Kristen of Blush, we clicked! My sister and I both work in the makeup/beauty industry and we decided to take the day off from doing our own makeup for my wedding after viewing the incredible photos of the work done by Wendy and Kristen! I met with Kristen the day of my rehearsal for a trial and was blown away! She is funny, professional, personable, knowledgeable, and extremely talented. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and created a look that made me feel beautiful and special. The day of my wedding was no different--she replicated the look exactly and I just love Kristen!!! Not only did Kristen make me look gorgeous, but she made me laugh a lot too--which was wonderful on such a big day! She is such a sweetheart! She made my sister, bridesmaids, and mom look incredible also--everyone was glowing and stunning! I can't wait to return to Asheville (we live out of state), I plan to have Kristen do my makeup every time I visit!!! :) :)
