    Absolutely amazing

    Have a great Hair and Makeup artist was top on my wedding list! Joni and her team exceeded my expectations and more! They were absolutely amazing! From the start they made us feel so relaxed and by the end we truly felt like we were all best friends. I was SO nervous about how my hair and make up would look because I did not do a trial like a typical bride would. Joni Nailed it! I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and so did all of my bridesmaids! I am always the person who doesn't like something about their makeup or hair after getting it done and I run into the bathroom to fix it. With this team... I didn't need to fix one thing. Not only is Joni and her team amazing at what they do, but they are also amazing people. Due to COVID-19 my parents could not attend and Joni truly made my mom feel like she was part of the day. I am so lucky to have met them! Thank you again for being a part of my wedding day and making us all look so beautiful!

    Amazing experience - MUST have for wedding day!!

    I got married on 12/12/2020 at the Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, Jamaica. Joni and her team were recommended to me by the hotel. Joni is very quick to respond. Probably the most responsive vendor I hired. She is warm and friendly and really knows how to amp you up on your wedding day! She kept me calm and kept everyone feeling safe, even during the pandemic. Her team wore their masks the entire time and were completely professional. Even though they were doing a job we all had so much fun together... we were laughing and all enjoying ourselves the whole time. I would HIGHLY recommend using Joni & Lexi for hair and makeup for your wedding if you are getting married in Jamaica. All our hair and makeup lasted the entire evening even in 85 degree heat and dancing. I cannot thank Joni and her team enough. I view her now as a friend and hope to meet up with them next time I am in Jamaica!

    TRUST ME, you want to be a Gourmet Girl on your wedding day

    Booking Joni and Lexi was the best decision I made! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Joni was easy to get in touch with, she was professional, and she absolutely slayed our makeup! I am a makeup lover myself, and Joni definitely knows what she’s doing. Our makeup lasted all day and night, even after sweating our butts off dancing LOL. The makeup also photographed really well!

    Lexi is a hair queen! We loved our hair so much! We all have very different hair types and Lexi accommodated each of us! Plus, our hair lasted all night and through the super windy day we had!

    My favorite thing about Joni and Lexi was how warm and motherly they were. They embraced me and my CRAZY bridesmaids haha. Overall, I one million percent recommend Gourmet Makeup! Book them, you won’t be disappointed!

    Gourmet, Goddess Transformations with Heart & Soul!!! A++++

    I knew Joni was going to be my make-up artist even before I knew I was going to get married!! She was the very first vendor I booked because it was so important for me to ensure she was doing my make-up for my special day! We’ve known each other personally for several years and she has always been the sweetest most down to earth person. When Joni first started doing professional make-up, my Mum, sister and I, had the honour of receiving a complimentary trial. Since then, we have watched Joni and her business blossom in every way. She is undoubtedly an expert in her field and the entire Gourmet experience is a testament to this. Even though we are friends, Joni was extremely professional. She was on time for all our appointments and she made the entire bridal party feel relaxed and pampered. From the rose petal mask to the gentle finishing mist - all her products and make-up are of the highest quality. She took the time to intricately attach 1 lash at a time to ensure the look came across as natural and effortless, in true Goddess-style! She carefully considered the make-up selection, knowing my tendency to cry excessively, particularly because of my Father’s illness. She was extremely sensitive to the situation, offering thoughtful words of encouragement and comfort. Joni arrived at the crack of dawn on my wedding day just so she could ensure that each lady had her full attention. She did my make-up, plus 2 bridesmaids, as well as my mother and mother-in-law. The wide range of ages, complexions and tastes was no problem for her. She masterfully handled each person’s needs and ensured the whole bridal party was looking stunning!! Joni pours her heart and soul into what she does. I would not hesitate to recommend her!!! She is an inspiration to all female entrepreneurs!!! A++++

    Amazing hair and makeup for dream wedding

    Joni and Alexis did me, my sister, and my moms makeup and hair for my wedding 2 weeks ago at the Rockhouse. (Alexis did our hair and Joni did our makeup). Joni and Alexis also did my trial hair and makeup the evening prior. They were both so funny and sweet. We had a great day together getting ready for the wedding.
    The makeup was natural and they listened to everything I had to say. I would recommend 100%. My hair and makeup have literally never looked better.

    Excellent and Professional

    Joni and her counterpart Danielle were everything I could have asked for on my special day. Even in the months leading up to the event, Joni was more than accommodating in meeting me for my trial run and also making changes up to the very last minute. She sent a very detailed itinerary for everyone's makeup on the day of - even down to when she was going to start my face mask! There were 9 people total who got their makeup done that morning. Everyone's makeup turned out absolutely stunning and held up the entire night (despite my best efforts to sweat off my face in the Jamaica heat). I would 1000% recommend Joni to anyone doing their wedding in Jamaica or even abroad! I am looking forward to the next time I get to utilize her services. She truly is a gourmet makeup girl!

    Highly Recommended!

    This was my first time getting my make-up professionally done. I was a little hesitant to have someone that I have never met before do my make-up but Joni did an excellent job. She is very professional. I rarely wear make-up, so I told Joni I wanted my wedding make-up to look as natural as possible and she did such a wonderful job.
    The communication prior to the wedding day was perfect. Joni was very responsive to my emails and even asked me for examples of how I wanted the make-up to look like.
    Joni is such a wonderful, kind and joyful person. On the day of the wedding, my bridesmaids and I had a wonderful time and she even calmed me down when I started to get nervous.
    Everyone commented on my make-up and my two bridesmaids loved theirs as well. All three of us felt like queens!

    Thank yoou, Joni! I could not have had a better experience.

    WOW! Best Experience EVER.

    Wow! Words alone cannot even begin to describe my gratitude and joy....and how blessed I feel to have had Joni and her team (Loni, Sophie and Lexi) on my special big day!!! Where do I even start? I first met Joni at my engagement photo shoot in Jamaica. Our wedding planner Jennifer Borgh had connected us. I had already selected the venue for my wedding a year out and thought it would be a good idea to do engagement photos in Jamaica and have my make-up professionally done by the Joni as we were considering hiring her company for hair/make-up for over 12+ people the big day. From the very first encounter of communication leading up to our first meeting, Joni was always very professional, pleasant and prompt. When I first met Joni at my engagement shoot, she was everything I hoped for. She was kind, patient, fun and listened to my thoughts and ideas. Honestly, I was all over the place and did not know what I exactly wanted. Joni asked great questions and guided the session along the way with her calm, soothing & fun demeanor. She made me feel and look SOOO beautiful for my engagement shoot. From that day, I was 1000% confident Joni and her team would be the perfect fit to be by our side on my wedding day and help myself, mothers, bridesmaids & guests to feel & look their absolute best! We had 12 months before the big day and throughout the time frame - I had a lot of questions, thoughts, comments. Joni was so timely in her responses and made everything seem so simple and easy. For those of you who have gone through a wedding or are planning a wedding especially a destination wedding, you can relate to the feeling of being overwhelmed by soooo much that is going on. Joni made me feel at ease that everything was going to be ok and she had me covered. Hair and make-up which is a very important category in planning, I felt at ease knowing that I had Joni in control of all that area! Fast forward to the week of the wedding.... WOW!!! I promise I cannot even begin to convey in words how AMAZING Joni and her team (Loni, Sophie and Lexi) were. To give you a quick background, our destination wedding was an Indian fusion wedding of 80+ people. We were working around A LOT of fast-moving pieces, from various vendors coming in and out of the bridal suite, events, outfit changes, draping sarees in between, tight time schedules, and early start time & lots of changes on top of that!! On the big day, we had a 4am start time (8 ladies from bridal party getting hair & makeup) plus several guests last minute wanted their hair and makeup done as well! Joni & her team arrived at our resort at 3am in order to set everything up, prepare all and ensure we started on time. I was on little to no sleep because of the nerves and excitement. When I arrived at the bridal suite around 6am, I was so happy to find my ladies getting all dolled up, they were so happy and glamorous, everything running sooo smoothly with hair and makeup and actually on and even ahead of schedule!! Joni and her team were so on point. They were able to not only manage all the changes that came up with finesse but ensure we were on time and even at one point ahead of schedule. Joni & her team moved with such positive energy, enthusiasm and were so dedicated and committed to making each and every lady feel & look her absolute best. It was so apparent how passionate Joni & are team are about their artistry and put so much love, care, and effort into everything they do. When it was my turn to get my make-up done, Joni and I chatted it up, her calm and soothing demeanor made me feel at ease. Her fun and positive vibes made me smile & laugh. Oh and my makeup so flawless and felt like I should be on a magazine cover!!! Love her! So there it was, in just a few hours, Joni & her team her completed make-up & hair for the bride, bridal party of 7 plus several guests. Everyone was so happy with their look, all smiles ear to ear. Joni & her team delivered top-notch, world-class customer service and with overall beauty looks that deserves to be featured in a magazine! After the ceremony was over, we had part 2 for the night time event and I needed a fresh face and new look for the reception party. At that point, I was sooo tired on 2 hours of sleep in my delirious mind at that point in time I thought me sleeping 1 hour made more sense than getting a second new look for my reception party (LOL). I had expressed this to Joni and she very professionally and politely reminded me this was a once in a lifetime event and I should continue with the plans and get my second new look. Of course, she was right! Joni truly cared. She knew how tired I was. She was also just as tired having started at 3am! Joni did my second look for reception and made me feel like I was part of a fashion shoot on a high-end magazine! She did a look different from the first and to really go with the overall look of my second gown! Eye bags, what bags? Joni put eye patches making me feel relaxed. Joni used techniques and features that made me look refreshed and flawless. Beyond Joni & her team being incredibly talented, professional, fun to work with - I want to note that they use top of the line make-up and hair brands, applications and techniques. If you are planning a wedding (or any event) and looking for a glam squad to hire for hair and make-up, and looking for any of these below- you must contact Joni & her team without a doubt!
    - highly professional, pleasant, & prompt
    - industry experts and highly talented in their artistry
    - fun, positive, enthusiastic, passionate, friendly
    - top of the line beauty products, application & techniques
    - top notch and world-class customer experience
    - best artists in the industry
    - easy to work with
    Being from New York City and having worked in industries that involve world-class hospitality, customer service, attention to details, I have very high standards when it comes to customer service/care, responsiveness, & overall delivery/execution of experience. I note this because I want to strongly emphasize how positively impressed I am with Joni & her team overall in every way. I whole-heartedly recommend Joni & her team for your special day. Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, and I promise you with Joni & her team on your side, it will help make all the difference. Words alone cannot express how grateful I am to have had Joni & her team by my side on my wedding day. BIG THANKS & KISSES TO JONI & TEAM (LONI, SOPHIE & LEXI)

    Love,

    Beyond Perfect hair and makeup

    Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Joni and Lexi. My makeup was absolutely perfect. I looked like myself just way better- done by Joni. I hired Lexi last minute because my hair trail at the resort salon went terribly. So I took a chance and met Lexi the day of my wedding (so scary). My hair came out perfect! It was exactly what I was looking for and she used the perfect amount of hairspray so it didn’t look crunchy. What Lexi was able to do the first time ever meeting me or seeing my hair, the (2) people in the resort salon could do ever. Joni is able to do makeup on all skin types and ages. My wedding party consisted 6 people of ages 27 to 85. My grandma looked ten years younger after sitting in Joni’s chair. I would highly recommend both of them. My wedding took place at Sandals Montego Bay resort.

    Amazing Natural Hair and Makeup Look for my Wedding

    Working with Joni and Lexi was a great experience. Joni did my makeup, 2 of my bridesmaids and my grandmother. She made my bridesmaids look so beautiful with a golden natural look. When it came time to do my grandmas makeup she was so sweet with her and made sure she felt comfortable since it was her first time ever having her makeup done. I showed her a picture of a makeup look I liked and she made me look even more beautiful. She enhanced my features and made sure I still looked like myself & not over done. I sent Lexi a YouTube video of what I wanted done with my hair and she said she was excited to do it. I was nervous because I have a lot of thick natural hair but the final look she did was even better than what I imagined. They both made my feel like a princess! It was a great time chatting with them while we got ready and they followed me to when I put on my dress to ensure my hair and makeup was set right. I highly recommend them to anyone no matter skin type or hair type they know what they’re doing!

    Fabulous to work with!

    Joni was so great to work with, and really listened to what my wants were. I am very particular when it comes to my makeup and hair, and she and Lexi were absolutely fabulous - they gave me the exact look I wanted and eased my nerves on my wedding day. She also knew the exact products to use, which kept me from sweating my makeup off on my warm wedding day. Absolutely would recommend!

    Never felt more beautiful

    In planning a destination wedding vendors become tricky because of course you can't always physically be around and you mostly rely on recommendations. I have to say, I'm so happy I chose to be a Gourmet Girl. They came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and Anna, my MUA, did not disappoint. I have never felt more beautiful. I loved the fact that before anything their team asks for inspirational pictures to get a feel of the look you're trying to achieve. The ladies are also so down to earth, it's like talking to a friend the way they make you feel so comfortable. Anna took care of the makeup for other members of my bridal party as well and I could just see the confidence in each lady when she was done, GORGEOUS. The care and time she took to make sure I was comfortable and looking flawless was so appreciated. And then there was the artist Sophia. She transformed my hair into simple elegance. I REALLY appreciated the fact that she made my mother feel at ease. My mom is not one for glitz and glamor and Sophia recommended a style that afterwards my mother couldn't stop smiling. I was hesitant at first in the recommendation but once I saw the whole picture I realized we were in the best hands. These ladies are artists and without hesitation I recommend them to anyone looking for makeup/hair services.

    Joni and Lexi did a spectacular job for our wedding day at the Rockhouse in Negril. They were so sweet and talented. Lexi created 5 wonderful hairstyles for my bridesmaids and myself. I was a bit discouraged prior because my stylist at home had done a trial for me to check out looks and I didn't really love anything (I had originally wanted a braid in my hair but because of my bangs she said it wouldn't work), but Lexi saw what i wanted and pulled it off with ease and made it gorgeous!) Joni had some serious skills with makeup that wouldn't melt off my face in the 95 degree heat and the 2 hour long rain storm. It looked just as perfect at the end of the night as it did at 1pm when she put it on. My mother had also had a fall the night before (scraping her face) and Joni was able to help her with make up to cover it. They both felt like friends by the end of our session and I was so thrilled. They really went above and beyond for me and my girls and I am so grateful! Thanks ladies!!!!

    Hello,
    I used Mrs. Joni for my pre-wedding party and my wedding. She was very professional and arrived early for both events. We joked and had fun the entire time she was with me. Her sense of humor and positive energy was a great escape from some of the wedding craziness. She took wonderful pictures with her phone that I am really grateful for, because I never had time to take any of my own. You can tell right away that she takes great joy in making you look your best on your special day. I only wish I could have kept her longer. Hire her, She will not disappoint!

    Lexi did my hair for my wedding. She was fast and she did a great job. She continued to touch up my hair and made sure i looked my best before walking down the aisle. She is really sweet and listened to what i wanted. She is also focused and making you look your best.

    Joni and Lexi are the dream team! You can't go wrong with them. :)

    Thank you again Ladies!
    Natalie

    This is Natalie's new husband: Dave groomed my hair and beard. He was very professional and trimmed my hair and beard just the way I requested for it to be done. He arrived early and was ready to work right away. I was very pleased, because I don't trust many people with my grooming. He was a good choice.

    Thank you,
    Tayo

    Anna did a fantastic job on my trial makeup which I wore to my pre-wedding celebration. She also did a wonderful job on my bridal makeup and an awesome job on 2 other ladies from my bridal party. She was very professional, answered any questions I had, and she helped me stay calm & relaxed before my ceremony.

    I actually used to do hair and makeup for weddings and worked for Clinique about a year back so I am very picky and hold everything to my personal high standard of service. Joni and Lexi were very friendly but professional and quite genuine. They asked for inspiration pictures ahead of time. I was thinking of sending them but they beat me to it. I loved the timeline they made. That's great for a nervous bride. I also appreciate that they stick to it even though my mom came quite late.
    The makeup was perfect. They hid every flaw I asked them to hide. Also they did my eyeshadow in a way that would even the look of both my eyes as one droops more than another. They were very patient when I asked them to fix things more to my liking and got my eyebrows exactly how I liked them. The foundation application was absolutely flawless and I had a beautiful sun kissed glow. That foundation did not smudge or smear with sweat ms did not get on people's clothing.
    For the hair, they helped me out greatly with my extension dilemma. I didn't have time to see the clips to the weft extensions but they pinned them into my head so that they were seemless, even though I have fine hair. My hair had a lot of body and the curls and style was very romantic. I was elated!
    I also appreciated the fact that they helped me dress since my maid of honour was overly nervous and not very helpful at that moment. I was finished on time and they helped me out the hotel. Everyone told me how lovely I looked and how beautiful my mom and maid of honour looked. I was extremely pleased.
    It was a pleasure working with them and I'm happy that I chose them. I have recommended them to friends and will do so in the future.

    Joni and Lexi were the ultimate dynamic duo for my wedding day. We had 3 bridesmaids, 2 moms and myself and we had so much fun getting ready all day :) They made sure everyone was happy with their results along the way. I've received SO MANY compliments on my wedding look! Thank you again Joni and Lexi. If you're thinking about booking them for your event - do not hesitate and you will not regret it...quality work from quality ladies!

    I am so excited, my experience so far has been nothing short of amazing! Joni instantly put my jitters at ease about the wedding day to-do's and helped me feel like a confident bride in her hands. I am proud to a Gourmet Girl! :)

    OMG! This woman right here! True Artist! Thanks Weddingwire for your site enabling me to find Joni Powell. Straight up professional from day one with emails up to my special day. She showed up on time with her hair stylist and did WORK on my MOH, two bridesmaids and mother. I keep looking at myself and saying Wow! I wish I could do my makeup like this! I was beautiful! Everyone complimented how beautiful I looked and I love how I looked in my pictures! All I can say is Joni knows her craft and is talented with those brushes and colors. Thank you so much for being a very important part of my day and dealing with all the baaaaaa sounds of my goat (default) ring tone everytime I got a text! Lol! What a time it was trying to locate the missing jewelry! My hair! Thanks to Alexis for my hair! It held up very well and everyone loved it. Thanks for the getting ready pictures. Thanks my Jamaican Gourmet Mama!

    Great Makeup and Hair

    I cannot stop raving about how wonderful
    Joni and her team were. She’s a very kind and sweet woman. We recruited her services for myself and 4 persons from my wedding party. She had us laughing the entire day. Her services were professional and I know as a woman it’s difficult achieving your wedding look vision but she will tailor her work to your needs. A wonderful artist and passionate about her work.

    Best experience ever!

    I hired Joni for my makeup for my destination wedding in Jamaica and it was the best decision!! Joni was recommended to me by multiple brides who had their weddings at the same hotel as me. First off, she is just the nicest person and made an anxious day super enjoyable. She had me laughing and chatting so much that I almost forgot I was about to get married. Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful! This was my first time using airbrush and I didn’t know what to expect, but she did such an amazing job. She used the photos I sent previously for inspiration and talked me through all the makeup decisions. My makeup came out beautiful and photographed so well. I had so many compliments and truly felt so confident because of her. She also did the makeup for my bridal party and they loved her so much as well! Hiring Joni will be the best choice you make! Thank you so much Joni!

    Wonderful experience!

    I hired Joni in January of 2020 for my destination wedding in March 2021. Joni was such a delight to work with. Her pricing was more than reasonable! She is such beautiful person inside and out, and was so very helpful during this covid pandemic. At first, I had 5 girls plus myself getting hair and makeup done, but with all the chaos of covid and curfews in Jamaica, I had to cut it down to 2 girls and myself within a week of the wedding. Joni was very understanding and helpful. Getting ready with her and her hair stylist Alexis was pure joy. She is professional when she needs to be and totally down to earth and looking to have a good time while getting ready when it’s appropriate as well. I wouldn’t have changed anything with the experience I had with gourmet makeup. Joni makes you feel like family and puts in a lot of time and effort to make her brides look and feel absolutely beautiful. She’s very passionate about her work and it shows!! I’m not big on dramatic makeup and Joni contoured my face perfectly while still making it all appear natural. My makeup held up all day with the humid tropical heat and even in the rain later that evening 😝
