  Melissa was amazing! Everyone looked so beautiful, especially the bride. And the makeup lasted from our early morning beauty session all through the night. Melissa stuck around as long as needed to make sure everyone looked perfect for the walk down the aisle and was so sweet the whole time.

  Wow! Can you say the BEST! Melissa was truely one of the best vendors you can work with! She was very flexible and truely brought experience & professionalism to the table!
  Now her makeup skills are undeniably Amazing! She has products that you could only dream of and her years of experience make her know what to use on your skin.
  Day of my wedding - she worked on my bridesmaids at the hotel and they all looked gorgeous! They each selected different hairdo's and Melissa delivered on each beautifully! She brought us a bottle of champagne which we enjoyed. She kept us all on schedule and once she was done she met me at my ceremony venue where she did touch ups for the grand entrance! She stayed after the ceremony and did touch ups for my wedding pictures!
  Seriously, i wish I could carry her in my pocket everyday because she makes you look absolutely fabulous and she makes you feel fabulous as well.

  Melissa was one of the best wedding vendors that I worked with. She is a true professional and did a fantastic job from start to finish. Melissa is a great person who has a very nice touch, which made everyone feel so comfortable. She did my hair and make-up for engagement photos, however I did not do a "wedding trial" since I don't live in town. I basically had just a few ideas of what I wanted for my wedding look. I put my trust in Melissa and let her go to work. She listened and gave me everything I wanted and some things I never expected. She did a beautiful job on my hair and makeup and it looked great in person and on camera. One of the best things about Melissa, is that she is very thorough and was there with me from start to finish. She did a great job touching up my make-up before, during and after the ceremony.We even did a "second look" for the reception, which was amazing! I can't thank Melissa enough for her amazing work, personality, and patients! Do your self a favor and go with Brides by Melissa for your next event!

  I cannot explain in words how amazing Melissa is!! I actually lost count on our wedding day of how many times she saved us! This girl has everything!! Every two minutes someone was running in asking me do you have such and such? Melissa always answered "oh I have some of that" It was amazing- anywhere from safety pins to hold up the ring bearers pants to excedrin migraine for me! She was fast acting with touch ups at the venue and so sweet getting along with all of my bridemaids and even my mother. :-). Not to mention our hair and make-up was beautiful, and I had never seen my 11 year old step-daughter look so elegant and like such a lady! I definitely recommend Melissa for your wedding day!!

  Melissa was fantastic on our wedding day and I would use her for any event I'd attend, not just weddings!
  She is every bit the professional, turned up before the scheduled time and got herself set up waiting for my bridesmaids to arrive. Melissa was able to deal with some last minute requests and altered the schedule so everyone could be ready on time, as our mother's (finally) decided to get their hair/makeup done. She did a brilliant job with everyone's hair and makeup, making all of us look beautiful. She is easy to work with and makes you feel relaxed, she never seemed to be flustered or overwhelmed and was really sweet bringing a champagne gift for us girls while getting ready.
  Melissa to me went beyond her role of being just our makeup and hair stylist, she was attentive throughout our prepping and photograph sessions by either adjusting someone's hair or applying makeup, she also helped with positioning and other little things for the bridal party as when needed. She stayed an hour longer after our ceremony and refreshed my makeup, took out my veil and adjusted my hair before our grand entrance as newlyweds.
  Melissa is great value for the service she gives you, which is 110%.

  Melissa did my hair and make-up for my wedding, including 7 bridesmaids! She was very helpful every step of the way. I knew I wanted to still look like me on my wedding day, and not look like I had layers of make-up on my face, and she did just that without sacrificing the longevity of the look. The pictures turned out great whether they were taken in the early afternoon, or during the last dance.
  I was really impressed with her detailed schedule prior to the day of, and even more impressed that everything went exactly as scheduled! Given I let my bridesmaids do their hair any way they wanted, which can be more challenging, she was flexible and made each of them even more beautiful than they already were.
  On location, she even helped with organizing my girls for pictures and stayed through the ceremony to ensure I got a touch up after the tears. :)
  I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa not only for hair and make-up, but for day-of coordinating as well. She listens to you, stays calm (necessary for a wedding!), and is nothing but professional.

  Melissa was amazing she went above and beyond her job! I hired her for my may 17th wedding the first 6/7 hours were included in her price but you had the option in paying to keep her around longer. I took advantage of this since my wedding was an all day affair. Melissa stayed with us for 13 hours.
  
  The day started promptly at 5:30am she brought her wonderful assistant Jenny to help with all my brides maids. I had a total of 3 bridesmaids, my MOH, and my mom and each of them ended up looking AMAZING! during the photos she constantly watched out for me making sure I stayed out of the sun, touched up my hair and make up before every photo.
  
  She also acted like a personal wedding planner/ assistant! Unfortunately i can not rave about all my venders like I can for Melissa ... but Melissa helped smooth out their problems. (We got married at the LA arboretum and the arboretum venue coordinator ditched my husband and I after one of our family photo sessions. After 30 minutes (if not longer) we realized he wasn't coming back. Luckily Melissa was with us and she called my wedding coordinator who in turn sent the venue coordinator to get us.
  
  Also when anyone in my bridal party was thirsty she seemed to always have a bottle of water on hand! And when my cascading bridal bouquet started falling apart she helped pin the flowers back in... and sadly after a while she had to call our florist to redo them because they just kept falling out. She was AMAZING and far worth her cost! I highly recommend her. She and my wedding planner saved my big day :) I'm so glad I had them.
  
  Oh and make up wise she uses some very nice makeup that's good with sensitive skin like mine. And she doesn't cake it on too thick. I never wear make up so i was really worried but I'm glad it wasn't so obvious. Also when doing trials she comes to you vs you having to meet her up at a salon, and she was also always available to answer questions and worked around your schedule.

  Melissa was amazing! She was extremely quick to respond to emails, was very professional and an all around cool person to be around. She did exactly what I asked for and didn't need a ton of direction to understand what I wanted. Melissa did mine, my bridal party's and family's makeup for our wedding. Everyone was more than pleased. If you'd like a makeup artist who is understanding, skilled and professional you are in the right place!

  Melissa was fabulous!! I hired her to do my makeup for my wedding and couldn't have found anyone better. It was important to me that I still looked like me on my big day, and not overly done. I felt gorgeous the entire day.

  Melissa was very friendly and accommodating. She was professional, organized and went above and beyond from first interaction to end. Her hair and makeup was great and she took the time to work with me on what look I wanted. She did daytime and nighttime look adjustments. I didn't use her coordinator services but I could sense by her going above and beyond, assisting with photos adjusting my skirt...etc that she would be and excellent coordinator. Bridal party, friends and family loved her! You will be in great hands if you choose her!

  My makeup was perfect, and Melissa was readilly available for touchups pre and post ceremony as well as before the grand entrance. I loved my hair, it was a very romantic hairstyle, she really puts her all into her work.

  Melissa was a last minute decision because my makeup artist I had prior had gotten ill. I never had a chance to have a consult with her not had I met her before my wedding. She drove to San Diego, I put her up in a hotel with her assistant and she was very prompt and responsive. I was so incredibly impressed the morning of my wedding day because she was thorough, professional and downright the sweetest and best decision I had made! My makeup and everyone else's stayed all day and night. I would (and have) recommended her to everyone I know getting married - shes a superstar!!!

  Melissa was so amazing!!! She was recommended to me by a co-worker. She made me look so incredibly beautiful. I haven't worn makeup since my wedding and after having 2 kids I really stopped pampering myself the way I used to. It meant so much how much she really cared and was so gentle with my sensitive skin. She gave me some products to use a few weeks before my friends wedding and my skin was so clear and bright looking!!! I couldn't believe it. Anyways, what I'm trying to sya is that Melissa really made me confident and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone getting married or being in the wedding party.

  Melissa did my makeup for this wedding. She listened to me and then did her magic. I was so excited with the result. During the course of a very full day I saw the results of her skill with several bridesmaids and thought that each and every one was just beautiful!

  Melissa did an awesome job in doing my make-up for my wedding. Everyone from my friends to the photographer mentioned how great my make-up looked and the comments were reiterated when people saw the photos. She was able to make me standout without making me feel like I wasn't myself with the extra make-up I had to put on for the wedding. She was able to smoothly incorporate my opinions and needs alongside her expertise and creative eye. In addition, she was a pleasure to work with-- she was on time for appointments, replied back right away to my email/phone messages, and also kept a hygienic workspace. I would recommend Melissa for special occasion make-up.

  I feel so lucky to have found Melissa to do my hair/makeup. She did my hair/makeup for my engagement photos, a trial for the wedding, and then the wedding itself. She was very responsive to emails, always showed up on time, and recommended some useful products for my daily use (especially since I was dealing with newly developed eczema prior to the wedding). She went above and beyond her duties as a makeup artist, not only making sure my girls and I looked great before everything started, but also remaining on hand while we took photos to make sure EVERYONE (not just me) looked great and that every detail was in order. She fixed stray hairs, ruffled sleeves, and crooked boutonnieres - I remember some groomsmen trying to find her to fix a boutonniere that got knocked out of place because none of them could fix it themselves before the ceremony. She made things so easy for me, since she and her assistant Bethany traveled to the venue where we got ready and got everyone ready in a very timely manner, so I didn't have to worry about making appointments at a salon beforehand for all the girls and moms to get ready and stress about finishing on time (particularly because I have a LOT of hair). In short, if you're looking for a great makeup artist in the LA area for a really great price, go with Melissa!

  Melissa was the principal make-up artist at my sister's wedding just last month. Of all the vendors that day, Melissa stood above them all. She went way above and beyond the call of duty, showing up at 5am to take care the wedding party, and a full day of ceremonies. She stayed with us for over 12 hours, beyond her contract, as the ceremony (due to technical issues) started a full hour late. Melissa refreshed hair, re-applied make-up and made us all look beautiful throughout the day. She pitched in to hold flowers, offer water and in general fill in gaps of anything that needed help that day. Truly an incredible person.
  Last, but certainly not least, my sister's hair and make-up were also phenomenal. My sister glowed that day, in large part because she felt so beautiful with Melissa's work.
  While I don't live in the area, I would hire Melissa in a heart-beat for any formal event I would need to attend in the Los Angeles area. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and makeup. She's incredible!
