    Love Personified

    Where to even begin about this gem of a human and her amazing skills? I know I am one of so many that has gushed about Genica, but I’m here to add to the heap of love. The hype is real, y’all. Genica immediately put my mind at ease with her calm vibes and easy conversation. I felt like I made a new friend! Her dog Mabel tagged along and is seriously the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Genica was so patient with my mom who’s super finicky about her hair, and made her look like a goddess. She listened to what I wanted and executed my vision flawlessly. I told her I didn’t want to wear foundation and she was able to buff concealer here and there to perfect the look. I am so picky about makeup and hair, and had seriously considered doing it myself, especially after I wasn’t crazy about my hometown trial. I’m so glad I didn’t, this woman knows her industry! I felt so beautiful, and more importantly, I felt like myself. Amazingly, the makeup held all day. Genica, you are an absolute doll and your skill set is top notch. Thank you a thousand times for your role in such an important day!

    Beauty from the inside out!

    Genica is one of the most beautiful and bright souls I have ever met. I think in the beauty industry there is a lot of "fake" beauty circling around us. For me that is one of the most unattractive things and I don't like surrounding myself around that. I was really nervous hiring a MUA for my wedding day for that reason. I was battling a lot of insecurity and doubt, even leading up to my wedding day. Genica was a breath of fresh air and really grounded me and set the tone first thing in the morning. She nailed my bridal look, she totally kept to my vision, but also added elements I wasn't even thinking about. The whole time she was doing my makeup and hair we were talking about LOVE, all LOVE. It seriously made my feel beautiful on the side and then the work she did on the outside just made beauty radiate from me all day on my wedding day. I give a lot of credit to Genica for setting that tone for me. She is filled with so much grace, love, and light and it is infectious. She was so much more than just a MUA on my wedding day, she really was a Godsent.

    Turned me into a starry eyed beauty!

    Genica was fantastic to work with. I couldn’t ask for better. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and really seemed to understand my trepidation about makeup, since I hardly ever wear any. I felt so very at ease with her! I opted to pay a little extra for a trial run, and it was well worth it. I was so excited and confident about what would happen for my big day - there was not a moments hesitation or trepidation! I absolutely loved what she did for my hair. With my fine wimpy locks, I felt like a regal princess without feeling overdone. It was so nice to feel so good!!!

    10/10 Amazing for my wedding

    Her skills are top notch, she's so nice and professional while also being like your best friend. I couldn't have made a better choice for my wedding. She did my hair and makeup together and I looked STUNNING. My whole family was shocked how beautiful I looked. She even made my mom cry by asking her sweet questions about me and my husband. I love her.

    Transformed frizzy unmanageable hair and erased age

    I am a ‘mature’ bride, with thin, frizzy hair. In less than 90 minutes, Genica erased 15 years from my face through expert makeup techniques. More importantly, she transformed my hair into smooth, shiny, touchable tresses. My hairstyle lasted three days! AND she was incredibly sweet and helped calm my nerves. She was amazing!

    Amazing Trial Session - Can't wait for the Real Thing!

    Genica did an amazing job with my makeup trial session. I showed her a few pictures of make up that I liked, and she was able to meld them all to make me feel glamorous! I am so excited to have her do my wedding hair and makeup. I know it will be stunning.

    Would have paid her just for her emails

    Genica was, besides my mother, perhaps the most excited person about my wedding. Her big sister energy was sooo appreciated during the crazy process of planning a wedding from out-of-state.

    Best makeup and hair artist in ABQ - BOOK HER NOW!!!

    If you want to feel (and look) like a princess on your wedding day, hire Genica. She is truly in love with love and will make you feel beautiful, pampered, and gorgeous.

    I had 4 total in my wedding party (myself, mother of the bride, and 2 bridesmaids). Both of my girls looked gorgeous and could not stop looking at themselves after Genica was done. My mama looked beautiful and, most of all, I wanted to cry at how lovely my makeup came out.

    I worked in makeup for some time and am usually picky about how my makeup looked but Genica is true artist and made sure I looked how I wanted to. I cannot recommend Genica enough. Do yourself a huge favor and hire her now! She is worth every penny and more!!

    Hair Goddess

    Genica did my hair for my elopement and I can't believe how amazing it came out. I travelled from across the country, so didn't have a trial. I showed her a few photos of hairstyles that I liked and she immediately knew what to do. I still cant believe how beautifully it came out! We hiked to our wedding location and throughout the day my hair remained perfect! Not to mention, Genica is so, so sweet & fun. Simply the best!

    Warm, Talented HMUA

    Genica was amazing to work with. We needed hair and makeup for 4 ladies. That being said, none of us are make up people. But Genica and her assistant were great to work with and made the experience very comfortable. She listened to everything I asked for and gave it to me exactly. I’ve never felt so beautiful. And! She was an excellent conversationalist.

    Genica is the very best!!

    Genica is so kind, talented and wonderful to work with! She did my hair/makeup trial the week of the wedding and I felt so comfortable having her with us on the wedding day! Her assistant Caitlyn was also so sweet and talented! Everyone’s hair and make up looked just as beautiful at the end of the night as it did in the morning! (Even after an outdoor ceremony, mariachi parade and cocktail hour in the Santa Fe wind!) She was able to give everyone the exact look they wanted & we all felt so beautiful! Genica really listens to what you want but still offers her opinion because she does have so much experience and such a great eye. 10/10 she is the best!!!!!

    Sweetness encarnate!

    Genica is an absolute doll! She made me and my whole family feel comfortable and well loved during the prepping with her engaging conversation and beautiful nature. I absolutely adored working with her as she's a fascinating woman witha heart the size of Texas. When I asked for more natural, subdued makeup, she happily obliged. Even though I was concerned it was still too much (since I don't usually wear any makeup) when I saw it outside it was absolutely perfect. My hair was gorgeous and even held up to a whole night of fast swing dancing! I can't recommend this beautiful soul enough.

    Genica is the best!!!!

    Oh man, I can't recommend Genica enough!!!! Let me start by saying that I am not one to let people touch my hair or make up- I have truly hated every prom, homecoming, or special event hair/make up I've had done, so I was worried about hiring a HMUA for the wedding. If this is you, please know that Genica is a totally different story- she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful, and is SO skilled at what she does. She is truly a joy to be around. She makes you feel like a literal celebrity, and truly cares about getting to know her clients. Her work is incredible! She perfectly highlights features without looking cakey, clumpy, or overdone. My mom and I both felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and the ease of not having to worry about doing your own hair and make up is priceless. For my hair, she did beautiful braids, and she artfully arranged flower pins and a crystal accessory. Seriously, stunning. She listens to what you want and then executes it in a way that's better than you could imagine! If you are a nervous bride like I was, just work with Genica- you will look and feel like an absolute princess

    So fun to work with! Beautiful job!

    Genica was so much fun to work with, and does incredible work. She's a very relaxed woman, which was a welcome presence on my wedding day. She was able to hang out with all of my crazy bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law, and all of us at once! She did hair for the moms and bridesmaids, which all turned out beautifully, and finished with my hair and make-up. She gave me a lot of reassuring words and some final moments of peace and relaxation before everything got crazy, which I was so incredibly thankful for. And she did a phenomenal job! Thank you so much for being a part of our day, Genica!

    Great experience even as someone not used to getting H&M done!

    Genica did my hair and makeup for my wedding a couple of months ago and she was great! I usually wear minimal makeup and don’t do much with my hair. She was super friendly and great at making me feel at ease while going through a process that I wasn’t accustomed to. After we did the trial session, I had some thoughts about how I wanted my look to be different on the day of, and she was great at receiving feedback. We talked through what I was going for again, and she changed her approach to reflect what I was looking for. Throughout our planning process, she was very accessible by email and always replied quickly and was also easy to reach by phone. On the day of our wedding, she was super prompt and got everything done quickly and did a great job! Although I cried a lot during our ceremony and danced like a crazy person, makeup and hair all stayed intact from when she left at 11am through the afterparty at 2am. Strongly recommend Genica!

    Incredible stylist!

    Genica captured the exact look that I wanted for my wedding day--she totally NAILED it! I wanted an updo, and she made it look exactly like the photo I showed her (even though my hair was thinner than that in the photo). She is incredibly kind and a joy to work with. I loved having her as part of my wedding day! When I looked back at wedding photos, I thought wow what if I hadn't found Genica to do my hair and makeup because it seriously looks amazing and held up so well in the 30 mph winds we encountered on our day. At the end of my wedding, we did sunset photos and my hair and makeup still looked perfect 10 hours later! Genica made all my wedding beauty dreams come true while keeping my look authentically me, and I highly recommend her for hair and makeup services!

    Highly recommend!!

    Genica is AMAZING!!! My hair and make-up couldn’t have possibly been any better – I was so impressed! Genica did HMU for me, my bridesmaids, & my flower girl and we all loved it. She is so sweet and pleasant to work with, she was very helpful and responsive answering my (million) questions leading up to the big day. My make-up looked amazing and felt natural. I wish she could do my HMU every day – I HIGHLY recommend Genica!!!

    A true artist

    Genica is the most delightful person, she genuinely made me feel beautiful on my most special day. She took my dream look and made it a reality along with using my naturally curly hair to create the loose updo I wanted. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Genica!

    Magic. Beautiful Magic.

    Magic. Genica is pure, unadulterated magic. I cannot sing from the rooftops enough about how much I adore Genica and her amazing talent. Our entire wedding party (my mom included) spoke for weeks about how beautiful we felt after Genica did our hair and makeup. And while I believe Genica is beyond talented, her energy and spirit send the experience over the top.
