    Amazing Artist!

    Elizabeth Hickman is an absolute gem of a hairstylist and makeup artist! Her professionalism shines through in every aspect of her work. From the moment I reached out to her, she responded promptly and efficiently, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Elizabeth's attention to detail and skillful application left me feeling like a million bucks. Her quick responses and dedication to her craft truly set her apart. I can't recommend Elizabeth enough for anyone seeking a hair stylist and makeup artist who not only delivers exceptional results but also prioritizes professionalism and client satisfaction. You won't be disappointed!

    Amazing, attentive, reasonable prices -- highly recommend

    Elizabeth and her assistant Amy did a great job! And she's super sweet and nice! Her prices were also way more reasonable than other makeup artists. Amazing value.

    I initially booked a trial with her and had a few suggestions for improvement (based on my own personal preference). Elizabeth listened and applied my ideas perfectly when the wedding day came, remembering my requests even several months later. She is very communicative and always kept in touch with me through emails up until my wedding day. Her assistant Amy did a great job on my Maid of Honor as well.

    The makeup lasted all day despite all the sweating from dancing and wedding day craziness. I have long hair down to my thighs and Elizabeth managed to get it up in an updo that was so stable, it withstood 2 hours of headbanging -- and I didn't hold back on the dance floor. (It took me over an hour to dismantle during the wedding night, a testament to how sturdy her work was.) Elizabeth even gave me an emergency touch-up kit, and I never had to use it once. I ate, drank, and partied -- and still looked pristine and picture-perfect all night long.

    It was a stress-free wedding experience thanks to Elizabeth!

    Loved my hair & make up with Elizabeth!

    I had the best experience working with Elizabeth for my bridal hair & make up, and that of my bridesmaids. Elizabeth was very responsive, receptive of the look that I wanted, and easy to work with. I did a trial for myself and my mom, and Elizabeth followed up to get feedback and use photos from that day for our final looks. My hair and make up looked incredible all day / night long during my wedding and I never had to touch it up! If I ever need special event services in the future I would definitely come back to Elizabeth!

    Fabulous hair & makeup artist

    Elizabeth and her team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Elizabeth listened to what my vision was, offered suggestions and executed a look that was better than what I had envisioned for myself. I felt beautiful the entire day. She and her team were wonderful with my bridal party. They were polite, patient and fun to be around. The morning was so chill which was much appreciated. Every member of my bridal party as well as my mother and MIL felt like a princess . They sure looked like it.

    Wonderful Experience!

    Elizabeth and her team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. During my all communication and the trial, Elizabeth listened to what my vision was, offered suggestions and executed a look that was better than what I had envisioned for myself. I felt beautiful the entire day. Myself, and the bridal party have gotten so many comments saying how beautiful we looked. She and her team were wonderful with my bridal party.
    I am so happy that Elizabeth was able to give me exactly what I had envisioned but made it better. I would highly recommend her and her team.

    Beautiful Hair and Natural, Glowing Makeup

    I highly recommend Elizabeth. I loved my hair and makeup and everyone looked so beautiful at my wedding! During the trial, she was easy to work with, very friendly and open to trying multiple styles. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. Communication and scheduling was easy, she responded to emails in a timely manner. On the day of, she was punctual, reassuring and very helpful (even took a few photos for our group). Her team members were also professional and talented.

    Summer Wedding Perfection

    Having Elizabeth do my hair was one of my best wedding day decisions. She translated what I wanted perfectly. My appointment was earlier on my wedding day and my hair held perfectly all day, even when my husband flipped me while dancing. Personable, professional and talented.

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    Elizabeth was such a wonderful person to work with! I cannot recommend her enough to any Brides in the SoCal area. I have very little and very thin frizzy hair, and my hair style was perfect the entire day into the night. My makeup was a beautiful elevated bridal look, and my now Husband thought I looked beautiful. She responds quickly to email and text, and provided flexibility in the schedule when things changed about a week out from wedding day. I look forward to the day where I need my hair and makeup done for special event, so I can book Elizabeth again! Thanks so much!

    So grateful for Elizabeth

    Elizabeth was an absolute delight. She indulged me and all of my hair trials. Helped me, patiently, picked the best luck that went with my dress. And on the day of the event, was so incredibly professional and polite, with my nightmare of a mother. I am so thankful she was there to help ease my nerves, and hold my hand all the way through the Gettin’ Ready process.

    Elizabeth was amazing!

    Honestly she was such a blessing. From our makeup trial to the day off, Elizabeth was a delight to work with. She responds to all communication in a timely manner, and knew exactly what I wanted for our special day. She nailed the look, and was so attentive. She was very clean and efficient, and any bride would be lucky to have her be a part of their wedding day look!

    Elizabeth is the best!

    I am so happy I was able to find her. Elizabeth did my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and my wedding. For my wedding, I didn’t know exact what I wanted for my hair. I showed Elizabeth some photos of what I liked and explained what I was wanting- and she did her magic! It was a vintage inspired updo that was perfect! Elizabeth made me feel so special and I have never felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Elizabeth!

    Elizabeth is amazing!!

    Elizabeth is an absolutely fantastic hair and makeup artist, and I am so thrilled I had the opportunity to work with her on my wedding day! I came to her with somewhat vague ideas for my hair and makeup, the general styles I was aiming to embody in relation to my dress style, and expressed that I wanted to still feel like myself, since I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. She absolutely nailed it! I was obsessed with my hair and makeup following our trial run and knew that I made the right choice. I got so many compliments on the day of the wedding and am still fawning over her work! My makeup was beautiful, yet was natural enough that I felt like myself, and my hair (a high pony with Hollywood-esque waves) was exactly what I wanted!

    Not only is Elizabeth an incredibly competent hair and makeup artist, but she is also a delight to be around. She's so nice, fun, and was super friendly to my family and friends who were present while she was getting us ready. Highly recommend!! :)

    My favorite Makeup/Hair Looks of All times!

    What an amazing experience and pleasure working with Elizabeth for my bridal makeup and hair! I had two different makeup/hair looks (ceremony and reception) done by Elizabeth and absolutely loved the result. It was honestly my favorite makeup/hair look of all times. Beyond her gorgeous work, Elizabeth is so personable, attentive, professional, and really made me smile at every stage of my special day. The trial was extremely helpful and I got a lot of good tips. Thank you so much Elizabeth for all you did, you are wonderful to work with!

    Getting ready for the day is the first hurrah! Elizabeth and her crew helped set the glowing vibe for the day! I felt like a princess the entire day and my wedding party were perfect! She also worked with me all the way up to the wedding as I adjusted schedules and even locations week of! Amazing!

    So glad I hired them!

    I highly recommend Elizabeth and her team! My bridesmaids' hair looked amazing, I let them pick what they wanted the day of and Elizabeth and her team made it happen beautifully. I loved my hair and makeup so much, I have never looked better than on my wedding day. Elizabeth and the other 2 ladies were very kind and flexible too. Hire them!

    Amazing service

    Elizabeth is great! She knows her stuff and is always responsive. On my big day, she made sure I looked great and my bridal party's hair look amazing. Lasted all night. Elizabeth is very kind and super professional. If I were to have another event, I'd book her again.

    Simply perfect!

    Elizabeth was such a joy to work with! She is easy to communicate with, responsive, and felt like one of the girls the day of the wedding. Her energy was so calming and she’s an absolute sweetheart. The hair and makeup she did was flawless. I literally had no adjustments needed. If you’re looking for a seamless experience with a sweet, professional, an amazing stylist…Elizabeth is your girl!! Thank you, Elizabeth, for helping to make my day special!

    SO HAPPY That I Booked Elizabeth

    I can't speak highly enough of Elizabeth! Despite the insanity of this world at this time, I knew I could count on her; she made me feel like a beautiful bride even when I had to put my face mask back on. These are unusual times to be sure, but Elizabeth's professionalism, concern for the safety of her clients, and technical skills were undoubtedly a saving grace on my wedding day.

    We (like many other coronabrides) had to move our original engagement shoot date, and wedding date, which also meant moving my hair/makeup trial to match with the engagement shoot date. Elizabeth was responsive, dependable, and flexible, and (thankfully!) free for our date changes. I felt confident the entire time that I could depend on her, and she never let me down.

    Since I work in a hospital, I felt fairly apprehensive about going to see anyone for anything outside of my home, but Elizabeth found ways to keep us both protected despite the face-to-face/within-six-feet interaction. We each wore face masks while she worked on my hair, and she also wore a face shield especially while doing my makeup (since my mask, oc course, needed to be taken off). Elizabeth had hand sanitizer at the ready, and made a point of washing her own hands with soap/water regularly too. It's strange to need to include these details in a review, but I definitely appreciated the measures Elizabeth took to keep us both safe, and I'm glad to share about this experience!

    In terms of the quality of Elizabeth's work, and in her technical abilities-- every review before mine basically has it covered. She's spectacular at creating that perfect, naturally glowing bridal look that we've all dreamed about leading up to our wedding day. My naturally stubborn-straight hair held its curves throughout the rest of my event, supported a cathedral length veil, and I have never felt more beautiful than the day Elizabeth worked her magic on me.

    What I can offer that may be different from other people's experiences is that Elizabeth had the extra challenge of ensuring my makeup would stay on despite taking a mask on/off repeatedly during my own wedding. Even with this extra burden, my makeup remained perfectly intact (even the lipstick!), and never felt "caked" onto my face.

    Please reach out to Elizabeth for the most amazing wedding day experience anyone could ask for-- there's no point in looking anywhere else for a gifted and compassionate hair/makeup artist.

    Exactly what I wanted!

    Elizabeth was so wonderful! I'm not a super glam makeup gal, and she executed the naturally-enhanced look I wanted perfectly. My mom and I also both have naturally wavy/curly hair and she did a great job of maintaining our natural texture in our updos. She arrived promptly, had all of us finished with plenty of time to spare, and both the hair and makeup stayed put throughout the rest of the day and night. I wish I could have her style me more often!

    This is the one!

    Elizabeth was recommended to me by a friend/co-worker. I can’t say enough about her creativity and professionalism. I typically don’t wear make-up and wanted a soft natural look. She did my hair and make-up trial on the same day as my engagement photos so I could be picture perfect.

    As my wedding day approached, I realized the weather was going to be very warm. I was able to book another hair trial the week before my wedding date so I could see if an up-do would be a better idea. She was able to accommodate me so I had one less thing to worry about. Even with all of the dancing, my makeup still looked fresh. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

    Highly recommend Elizabeth!

    I was so impressed with Elizabeth and would highly recommend her for hair and makeup! One of my biggest worries prior to the wedding was my hair and makeup, so much so that I was having nightmares about it. I had a trial with Elizabeth and she put me completely at ease. Not only was I extremely happy with my hair and makeup, she was so sweet and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I will definitely choose her again in the future if I need hair and makeup!
