I can't say enough good things about Jen and her team - they are the absolute best!! The entire process from outreach, trial, creating a bridal party schedule, and the day of were so seamless and stress free. Jen is the sweetest and SO incredible at both hair and makeup, she took any feedback from my trial to heart and made sure I was over the moon with how I looked. Me and my bridesmaids felt incredible and it is all thanks to Jen and her team!! -

From my hair and makeup trial to our wedding day, I had the best experience working with Jen. She was extremely professional, communicative, and collaborative. Jen did an incredible job with my hair and makeup making it last all day! She elevated my wedding look, but also made me feel like myself and that's why I enjoyed working with her so much. Her team also did a great job with my bridesmaids as they all looked stunning. I would not hesitate hiring Jen for your wedding day look!

I could not recommend Jen enough! I am the type of person who immediately redoes their hair as soon as they get home from the salon and I have never in my life liked my makeup when it's been done professionally and I was seriously obsessed with Jen's work! I have red hair and extremely pale skin and have found that when I get my hair and makeup done, all too often makeup and hair artists just try to do what they normally do on people with other hair and skin tones and it just doesn't work on me, but Jen is such an amazing listener and is so good at interpreting your wedding vision and giving you exactly what you were picturing! I hate looking at pictures of brides that look nothing like themselves, or just completely overdone on their wedding, and Jen does such a good job of making you look exactly like yourself, just little better! Jen also brought such a fun and calm energy to our wedding morning, I really appreciated both her work and her presence! -

Elizabeth Sent on 08/21/2022Amazing and inclusive!
We cannot recommend, Jen enough! Jen is one of the most incredible people we have ever worked with. She is kind, talented, and inclusive of a diversity of clients. For my wife and I, having a hair and make-up professional who was aligned with our values and could do great work with various hair textures and skin colors was absolutely essential for our wedding day, and Jen + her team more than delivered.
Jen was easy to work with from start to finish, and was amazing at receiving feedback. She made us feel at ease on our wedding day, and all of our family and friends loved working with her.
One of my favorite things about her business is that she conducts her prices based on length of hair rather than gender. As a queer, interracial couple, we just knew she was the one as soon we spoke with her. She is dynamite, and such a treasure in an industry that is heteronormative. Thank you Jen for everything! -

Jen and her team were an absolute joy to work with. From the moment I messaged Jen, I knew she would be a perfect fit for my wedding day beauty dreams! We met for a trial before the big day, which was calming and reassuring for me as a destination bride. She made me feel as though I was chatting with a longtime friend and I had no worries that I was in great hands! She also was so efficient at communicating leading up to the wedding and made a great schedule for day of. She has a very calming, warm energy too which was perfect day of wedding. She executed my vision of hollywood glam waves that frame the face perfectly. Definitely my favorite hair I've ever had. My bridesmaids and Mother in law all looked stunning and they worked on all of them in a timely fashion, but listened to their feedback and ideas. My hair stayed in place all day…from the first picture to the last! Thank you again, Jen and team! -

Jen and her team were the most incredible HMU team I have ever worked with. They are true artists who deeply know how to bring out / enhance natural beauty. The whole process of working with Jen Plus Colour was seamless - from contracting, to the trial, and to the big day. The visions that me and my wedding party had where brought to life. I have never felt so beautiful and confident as I did on my wedding day and I owe a lot of gratitude to this team for making it happen!
I cannot recommend Jen Plus Colour enough - if you choose this team, you are guaranteed to look and feel your best on your special day! -

Fredrika Sent on 08/17/2022100% would recommend Jen!
I hired Jen for my rehearsal dinner and wedding hair and makeup and I couldn't have been happier with my decision! Jen was super easy to work with, organized, and so nice! She listened to my vision and my hair and makeup turned out exactly as I was imagining for both events! She even helped me brainstorm fun 60s hairstyles for my themed rehearsal dinner.
Leading up to the wedding Jen was super proactive in reaching out about the hair and makeup schedule for my bridal party which gave me one less thing to worry about on the big day. She and her team were super prompt, and friendly, and we even finished ahead of schedule! I would 100% recommend hiring Jen and her team for any hair and makeup needs-- she is a pro! -

Alisandra Sent on 05/02/2022Hire jen, she's the best!
Look no further - you have found your hair and makeup person for your wedding!! After seeing her work on Instagram and then reading the many amazing reviews on Jen, it was a no-brainer to go with her. She was so responsive, so helpful and truly AMAZING AT WHAT SHE DOES. I have never felt more beautiful in my life!! We planned our wedding before Covid and through the couple years there were many edits. Jen was so helpful every step of the way - even when other vendors wouldn't even respond to me. She is just soooooo good at her craft I felt like I had nothing to worry about on the day of and it was true. This close to switching to her for my regular hair color and cuts but I live 2.5 hours away from her :(
Thank you X10000 JEN FOR MAKING US ALL LOOK PERFECT! -

Tracy Sent on 03/29/2022Awesome experience with Jen
I booked Jen for our mid-pandemic wedding in April 2021 based on a recommendation from a friend who also used her services for their Palm Springs wedding and loved her. Jen was very responsive and also super flexible after we had to postpone our wedding a few months. She is also very personable and such a delight to talk to. She did my and my mom’s hair and make-up, and we both loved how everything turned out! Jen is also very professional, and I would highly recommend her for any event! -

Jen made me and my family look and feel fabulous on my big day! As someone who has no idea what I'm doing when it comes to hair and makeup, I was a bit intimidated trying to a find a hair and makeup artist. However, Jen made it easy and was so kind throughout the entire process. She has a real knack for doing a subtle natural look that me look great, but also still feeling like myself. So happy I was able to book her and would recommend her 1000x over! -

Elizabeth Sent on 05/02/2021Excellent experience and so happy!!
Jen did my hair and makeup for my wedding in April 2021. She was amazing from start to finish!! She was professional and did an incredible job making me feel beautiful. We didn't even do a trial run and she still executed my hair/makeup vision flawlessly! She asked me questions along the way throughout our hair and makeup session, which ensured an style I was happy with. I felt at ease and was so happy with the outcome! Plus she is just a wonderful and cool person. :) -

Kristen Sent on 10/30/2020The Best There Is
I hired Jen Martens based on her stellar reviews on Wedding Wire and Yelp and her portfolio pics on Instagram. I was looking for a HMU that did both hair and makeup and practiced more of a natural look. I booked Jen as one of my first vendors over a year in advance of my October 2020 wedding. When Covid19 hit and my husband and I didn’t know if we were going to be able to hold our wedding after all. In July, we decided to downsize our small, 30 person wedding and do a micro-wedding of just 9 instead. Jen offered numerous options if the wedding had to be moved or cancelled. She was always optimistic, flexible, and reassuring in her emails especially considering all of the uncertainty this year brought not only for us but for herself and her business. I felt like I was chatting with a friend that I’d never even met.
Jen and I ended up moving my hair and makeup trial several times due to Covid closures but I was finally able to go in and see her in mid-September. We tried a few different looks for hair and I was obsessed with my makeup. I still looked like me, just beautified. She listened to what I wanted, was patient, and always checked to make sure I was happy with her work both at the trial and on the wedding day. Jen was also fastidious about keeping her station in the salon clean. I felt very safe regarding her kit and sanitization practices.
Jen was extremely professional with sending contracts and reminders, she worked seamlessly with our wedding planner for scheduling, and was just a genuine pleasure to work with. It was so fun chatting with her the morning of my wedding while she got me all ready to go and I really felt so comfortable and safe in her care. She made my mom and I feel absolutely beautiful! She is an all-star hair and makeup artist and you 100% want her on your wedding team. -

Jen did the hair and makeup for our wedding, and she was amazing! She is so lovely to work with and did such a beautiful job on everyone.

Lori Sent on 11/01/2019Loved our Hair and Makeup with Jen!!!
Jen and her team are truly amazing! They are so professional and talented and did a superb job of hair and make up for my daughter's wedding oct 27th/19. We are from out of town so our wedding planner highly recommended Jen and her team. The bride and her bridesmaids were all so happy with their results. I have never ever liked my hair after getting it done but my daughter convinced me as mother of the bride I needed to do it... so I did and I have never loved my hair as much, Jen did a really beautiful job, really loved it!!! She also coloured my hair a few days prior to wedding and love that also. she has a great team we are so happy and photos look so good!!! Thank you Jen!!!! -

Anne Sent on 10/18/2019Best hair and make-up stylist for your wedding
I hired Jen for our wedding in October 2019. Prior to the actual wedding, I did a trial and extended my appointment to include a cut and colour. This is the way to go so she could cut/colour my hair to the wedding day style. Jen gave me all the confidence in the world that she and her team would deliver on our wedding day...and she did. Every person in the wedding party looked fantastic. She was always on time, very organized, and a genuine pleasure to work with. All of our vendors knew of Jen as she is truly one of the best! -

Jen did amazing makeup and hair for my now-wife and our moms! She is super knowledgable and really understood when we both wanted makeup that wasn't too feminine but still made us look amazing on our wedding day. She was also just really fun to talk to during a time that could have been a little anxiety inducing. Thank you Jen for making these gay dorks look so pretty!! -

I can't rave enough about Jen! I currently live in Cincinnati so finding the perfect hair stylist and makeup artist just by their instagram profile was a mission. But as soon as I saw Jen's portfolio I KNEW she was the one!
Her charismatic personality, and eye to detail was exceptional. Everyone loved her and her assistant, we can't recommend her enough! -

Chelsea Sent on 08/27/2019Jen was a DREAM to work with!
My experience with Jen was fantastic from our initial email exchange. She is professional, funny, kind-hearted and did I mention uber talented!? Because I had a destination wedding and traveling was difficult with my work schedule, Jen graciously worked on a holiday weekend to complete my hair/make-up trial. At my trial, Jen tried multiple hair styles I was contemplating, took excellent photos and notes and even sent me photos of other ideas I had expressed. Leading up to the wedding day, Jen was so flexible in reworking the day-of schedule numerous times without hesitation. She also takes the uncomfortable money situation out of your hands by invoicing bridesmaids directly, and before the wedding so that there’s no money handling/awkward “oh gosh, where can I find an ATM?” situations. Jen has her shit together yall! On the wedding day, her team arrived prompt and ready. I never once felt like we were running out of time or that anyone’s hair or makeup was being rushed. I felt relaxed and at ease! That just speaks to the overall professionalism and talent that Jen and her team bring to the table. At one point, I remember her team being ahead of schedule and kindly added a last-minute hair styling for my Mom. If you want a top-notch experience, do not look any further. Jen also provides touch-up kits, which honestly, I didn’t even use because my makeup lasted all day and night. And if all this wasn’t enough, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Jen is a master at enhancing your natural features and beauty in a way that doesn’t look fake or make you feel photoshopped. Book Jen now for your wedding, because I promise you will not be disappointed!

Cindy Sent on 06/03/2019Amazing experience!
Jen did such a great job on my makeup and hair for my Joshua Tree wedding! She was so sweet and professional from the trial to my wedding day. Working with her felt more like hanging out with a friend than dealing with a vendor. I wanted natural makeup and loose curls with a bit of flair and she exceeded me expectations. She was so great at handling my hooded eyes, making them more like “my eyes but better” instead of trying to change them into a completely different shape. She’s also a miracle worker with hair. I have stubborn and slippery straight Asian hair. The hair style I wanted was pretty much the exact opposite of what my hair wants to do normally. But somehow she managed to deliver exactly what I wanted. I got so many compliments on my hair and the style held 14 hrs through several treks in the dessert, the hora and a late night after party. -

Danielle Sent on 03/21/2019In love with my wedding look and jen!
Jen is a hair and makeup goddess! I have never felt as radiant as I did during my wedding weekend!
Not only does Jen come highly recommended - she delivers! I had a very specific idea in mind (moody, dramatic, dark eye with matte, deep hue lip) for my makeup and she was able to achieve that and more to complete my look. For hair - I let her take the reigns and I am so glad that I did.
Jen is a true pro and she is so down to earth and easy to chat with. I actually hope to be real life friends with her because she is just a kind and genuine person!
Bonus: She sends you and your wedding party away with touch up kits! So amazing! Everyone was able to keep their face looking fresh throughout the evening.
Thank you, Jen! -

Evan Sent on 03/12/2019Amazing amazing!!
I found Jen through a recommendation from my wedding planner, and I am so happy that I did! From the get go Jen made me feel heard and seen. We met for my trial makeup and she had me bring some photos of what I was looking for, but I am sure if you just showed up nothing in mind she would still be equally as helpful. (I recommend when using vendors to always have an idea in mind for what you want -- that way you can work together to come up with the perfect look!) As we sat and went through the makeup trial she stopped at each point to ask me how I felt with the look, what I wanted to change, what I liked or disliked, etc. Don't be afraid to speak up! Sometimes it can be intimidating, but Jen really wants for you to feel the most beautiful on your wedding day, so she is happy to accommodate!
I wasn't originally going to use Jen for my hair, because I had a family hairstylist that I had been planning on using instead. However when my family hairstylist ended up falling through Jen was a lifesaver and was able to book hair as well -- and it ended up working out for the best! Similar to my makeup trial, Jen was incredibly thoughtful and patient with my hair trial. I had less of an idea of what I wanted, so we worked together to come up with the perfect style to fit my dress and comfort level. I'm not a very formal person, so I wanted something that felt natural and casual. Jen definitely delivered.
But the absolute best part of working with Jen and her team was just how little I needed to worry about anything. Once I gave her the names of the bridal party and everyone else getting their makeup done that day Jen coordinated EVERYTHING. She created the schedule of when everybody needed to be where, and was even flexible with a few changes I asked to make at the last minute. On the day of she arrived exactly when she said she would, as did the rest of her team, and the entire day ran so smoothly because of all of her hard work. It was such a blessing to not have to coordinate anything on my wedding day, and I am grateful that Jen helped to ease my stress.
On top of that she uses high quality makeup products, which I was concerned about because I tend to have pretty sensitive skin and easily break out. I was glad to see her makeup kit includes high quality brands that I use at home.
Plus, I loved having the little kit she gave all of us at the end so that we could do lip touchups throughout the night. What a nice touch!!

When I was looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding I had no idea who to book! My wedding planner immediately recommended Jen and I am so glad she did!!! I checked out Jen's Instagram and saw that all the brides really just looked like the best version of themselves. I booked her not only to do my wedding hair but also to cut and fix my horrible hair color. She did an AMAZING job. On the day of the wedding she did the hair and makeup of me, my very picky maid of honor and my mom (who was super nervous about hair and makeup!). All 3 of us raved about what a beautiful job she did. My mom is still talking about how great her eyebrows looked haha! The best part though is that Jen is fun and really listens to you! (And she loves dogs) She made our morning such an easy and joyful experience. She really is as great as all the reviews say!!!! -
