    The best of the best

    Jessica is HANDS DOWN the best MUA in Tennessee!!! (Trust me, I did hours upon hours of very detailed research on every MUA because I never end up liking when “professionals” do my makeup! :’) Most tend to make such a “cakey” look, etc…) Jessica is not only the most talented artist with the BEST techniques, tricks, and makeup kit, but she’s also somehow still so humble and has the kindest heart imaginable. She is the absolute of treasure of Nashville and I’m so grateful to have gotten to work with her! She can make ANYONE look like a gorgeous, young celebrity — it is truly insane! You will feel like a supermodel and receive SO many compliments once she works her magic!

    Best hair & make up, ever

    Jessica is the most talented hair and makeup artist out there! Getting my hair and make up done by her on my wedding day was an absolute dream- I have never felt more beautiful in my life. She was so awesome to work with! She is so funny and personable, so it was a lot of fun working with her. Jessica was very flexible with my venue change and even a couple add on hair & make ups on the big day. I am soo grateful I got to work with her. Thank you so much for making us all look and feel so beautiful!!!

    Book jessica asap!

    Jessica is AMAZING. She is so personable and so talented. I was amazed at my hair and makeup trial right before COVID hit. I felt absolutely gorgeous and couldn't wait for my wedding. She brought her assistant, Ashley, this past weekend to Laconia NH for our wedding. I had a total of 9 women get their hair and makeup done. Not only were Jessica and Ashley quick and in sync, they made everyone look top notch. Very prompt and communication was great. Many of my vendors kept commenting on how amazing everyone looked and even asked for her card. She's relocating to Nashville but her work is priceless. I would pay double what I did in order to snag her again for a big event!

    The best MUA in the business!

    Jessica was one of the first vendors I booked. Originally, I was having a fall wedding and luckily she was able to change the date to a December wedding. I had a trial that was amazing and even when I decided to change some things for my wedding day, she made my vision a reality. She is not only gorgeous and professional, but she made me feel beautiful on my wedding day, in addition to my mother, groom’s mother and junior bridesmaids. She is so down to earth and lovely! If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it! She is the best! She will make your wedding a dream come true!

    Nikki was amazing to work with!

    Nikki from Jessica's team did my makeup for my wedding day and made me look so beautiful! I should also mention that she saved the day for me - the makeup artist I'd hired months in advance and paid a deposit to completely ghosted me and never returned my emails and phone calls - so I was able to hire Nikki about 2 or 3 months before my wedding. I live out of state and Nikki was really flexible with scheduling my trial. She always responded to emails so quickly when I had questions, and did an amazing job day-of making us all look flawless. She actually got my bridesmaids, mom, and me ready an hour before scheduled, which my photographer raved NEVER happens and made the whole day so much more relaxed. I loved working with Nikki and you should definitely hire her to do your wedding makeup!

    Incredible

    Jessica’s makeup skills are flawless! My entire bridal party looked absolutely gorgeous. She was efficient yet took the time to speak with everyone individually and connect. Not only is she a goddess with the makeup brush, she has a chill funny personality that made the vibes that much better. I would recommend Jessica to anyone!

    She’s the best!

    After seeing her work, and knowing her reputation in the community, I knew that she had to be the one for my hair and make up. Jessica was the first vendor I booked, and when I am ended up changing venues, I checked with her schedule first before even confirming a date with a new venue - that’s how important it was to me that she was the one to be there on my big day. She knocked it out of the park, I have never felt more confident and beautiful and it actually helped ease the stress of the day. She is honestly the best!

    Outstanding

    Lucky enough to have snagged Jessica's partner Maeghan for our wedding as well as her associate Sam to help with hair. They did myself and 4 bridesmaids hair and makeup and we looked amazing, if I do say so myself. No one in our group was a big make-up wearer but Maeghan made us feel comfortable and the airbrushing was amazing. I felt glam and natural simultaneously. Everyone did their hair differently and it looked so great. They were right on time with a makeup chair and all the materials. We finished early and were able to just chill out a little before starting photos etc. So impressed!!

    Jessica is the best glam artist

    Jessica is exceptional!! After seeing her work I knew I had to book her for my wedding day, she was probably the first vendor I booked after I found a venue. She was very responsive from the early stages of planning to answering random questions right up until the big day. At my trial, she had my mom, future mother-in-law and I laughing the whole time and impressed them with her glam work on me. The day of my wedding she arrived on time with Ashley and they worked super fast, we were done ahead of schedule! Everyone loved how they looked and I was so confident she nailed my vision for how I wanted to look on my wedding day. My hair and make-up stayed perfect all night long as well as all the other ladies; it photographed beautifully in photos and video. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a funny, beautiful glam artist, you won't be disappointed!!

    Jessica did an amazing job both with hair and makeup for my five bridesmaids and I. She made us all look and feel like a princesses. We had an early ceremony time, but she and her hair dresser were able to get us all ready ahead of schedule. This allowed my girls and I a moment to relax before the day began. She was responsive and accommodating both on the big day and for my hair and make up trial. Do not look any further! I couldn't be happier!

    Jessica's hair and makeup application were flawless! She does an amazing job and makes you feel comfortable. For someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I was amazed. She is easy to contact and flexible schedule worked well for our shoot as it was rescheduled multiple times. I'm looking forward to having her work her magic on our wedding day, as are my bridesmaids!

    So incredibly glad I chose Jessica for hair and makeup for my wedding. Jessica was so responsive by email throughout the entire process, it made it so easy to communicate with her. I was a little worried in general about makeup on my wedding day just because I didn't want to look like a completely different person. That's why I was glad to have a trial with Jessica about 2 months before the day. Everything came out so good during the trial that it put my mind at ease leading up to the wedding day. About a month before the wedding, I realized that with my timeline that we wouldn't be able to fit everyone in the bridal party in with only Jessica. She was able to call one of her resources to come and help with hair, and on the day of, the timing worked out perfectly.

    My hair and makeup was literally flawless for the wedding. And to top it off, the weather was pretty awful when it comes to keeping hair and makeup intact. It was 50 degrees and misting rain. It wasn't raining so bad that we couldn't take pictures without an umbrella, so I stood outside in misting rain for an hour and my hair and makeup was still flawless. I actually had a stranger stop and ask how my hair wasn't frizzy. And the rest of my bridal party, mother and mother-in-law and 85 year old grandmother looked awesome too. I was a little worried about my mother-in-law because she never wears any makeup, but she looked so good.

    Thank you Jessica! I've never felt so beautiful!

    Jessica is absolutely amazing at what she does. She ended up doing 8 of us on the day of the wedding, on here own, and still managed to keep all of us on time for pictures before the ceremony. She is so down to earth and fit right in with my crazy group of girls. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

    Jessica is a makeup goddess. She is very professional and SO talented. This girl can transform anyone into a beauty queen. She brings to Maine the quality of artistry you would see in Hollywood.

    Jessica did my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures and my wedding. I never knew I could be so beautiful. After seeing her magic for my engagement photos, I had no worries about the wedding. A pimple appears the week of your wedding from stress? No worries! Jessica can make it disappear! Dark circles from lack of sleep? No need to worry if you have Jessica!

    Jessica also did hair and makeup for my mother and mother-in-law. My mother-in-law never wears makeup so she wanted a natural look, and Jessica understood exactly what she wanted. Plus, when my mother-in-law changed her mind 3 times about how she wanted her hair, Jessica changed it no questions asked.

    Jessica really is the ONLY makeup artist you should consider for your big day. I wish she lived in Miami so I could use her more often!

    Jess makes you feel like an absolute rock star!! (and she is one, too!) I decided to book Jess for my wedding after seeing her portfolio online. I met her for the first time when she did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, and everything came out so great! She is so easy to work with, laid back and funny, but absolutely a professional. We had a trial day for wedding hair/makeup which was also great. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to do (which I had actually saved from her Instagram, it was hair she had done for someone else!) and she replicated it perfectly. All throughout the process and the planning, she was quick to respond to all my messages. The day of the wedding she came to my hotel room to do my hair and makeup. She was very calming and relaxed which helped me to be the same, on one of the most stressful days of my life! She will make you laugh no doubt! She also did hair/makeup for my mom, which came out perfectly. She captured her beauty but didn't try to make her look like she was 20. My hair and makeup held up perfectly through the day, even after lots of (happy) crying and a little bit of wind at our outside ceremony. I had SO many people comment on how nice my makeup and hair came out. I honestly felt more beautiful on that day than I ever have in my whole life! THANK YOU, JESS! Don't hesitate to book her for your wedding or special event, you will not be disappointed in the least.

    I can’t say enough nice things about Jessica Candage. She was absolutely fabulous to work with! On my wedding day she did my hair & makeup, my Maid of Honor’s hair & makeup, and my new Mother-In-Law’s makeup. She made us all up…looking gorgeous! When I started looking for a hair & makeup artist for my wedding it was important to me to have airbrush makeup, because it really does last all day & looks best in pictures…this was hard to find in Maine. At my trial appointment I showed Jessica a few pictures & she nailed it! I ended up making a few changes on the wedding day but I thought Jessica did an amazing job & it was absolutely perfect! All of our hair & makeup lasted all day into the night…including the fake eyelashes! Jess even came early to blow out my hair to help it curl! Jess is sweet, professional, a go-getter, funny, on-time, and truly makes a bride feel important & beautiful on her wedding day! Jess truly deserves her award for Best of 2014! Book her quick, she’s a busy lady!

    I cannot recommend Jessica's services enough! I had my bridal hair and makeup done with Jessica, my mother had her hair and makeup done with Jessica, and all 6 of my bridesmaids hair updos done.

    Jessica did an incredible job. I had airbrush makeup and individual lashes, and it lasted all night. My mom's makeup also looked incredible. Very age appropriate and absolutely stunning. My mom also has eczema and very sensitive skin, and Jessica was more than happy to do a trial run for her at no extra cost, which we really appreciate it.

    The hair looked incredible and also lasted all night - even for my bridesmaids who had updos. I don't know how she did it - everything held, looked great, and still looked natural (no hairspray crunch or visible pins).

    She answered all of my emails within 24 hours (usually within hours) and arrived promptly the day. Jessica is also a hoot to work with - she's very friendly and funny, which is personally something I wanted, considering the day of she spent from 8 am to 3pm with all of us.

    I definitely recommend Jessica. One of my bridesmaids even looked into whether she was free on her upcoming wedding day (she wasn't, book fast ladies!), because she was that impressed.

    Jessica is a very talented hair and make-up artist. She listened to me during our trial and did exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. My hair came out perfect as well as my make-up. Jess also did the hair and make-up of my bridal party and friends. I was so impressed by how she worked with each person to enhance their natural beauty. Everyone looked stunning! Furthermore, Jess was wonderful at managing her time to ensure we were all ready in time on the big day! I highly recommend her to anyone getting married or who would like hair and make-up for other occasions :)

    Jessica was awesome to work with. She did a combination of hair and/or makeup for 4 of us for the wedding and made sure everyone looked perfect. I felt so amazing and confident, it really made the wedding day special! Anyone needing hair or makeup should definitely get glammed by Jessica! -L&K

    Jessica did an amazing job at my wedding. Not only did I look great, but my makeup stayed alllll day and night despite the 95 degree heat. My friends were amazed. Jessica traveled to my house the day of which was clutch. I couldn't have been happier with her services!

    I am originally from Maine, which is where Jessica is based (but she seems to travel to many places!), so I knew about her from friends of friends and the work she does for pageants and local photographer's shoots. If you check out her instagram, you can see how amazingly talented she is! She was the second wedding vendor I booked after we had our reception venue and wedding date! She is highly sought after and I didn't want to risk missing out on having her do hair and makeup for our wedding. From what I've heard and from communicating with her via email and phone - she has such a fun personality and will definitely add some spice to our morning while making all of us beautiful! I can't wait to have her work her magic on my girls and I for our big day! :)

    Jessica is amazing! She definitely makes you feel your best with her hair and make up techniques. I used her for my wedding day for both myself and my bridesmaids. She and one other girl got all 10 people done ahead of schedule and did a top quality job on everyone. She makes you look absolutely flawless and really listens to how you want to look. She is easy to be open and honest with if you don't like anything about what she does during trial, day of etc. I would highly recommend using Jessica for your hair and make up needs!

    Jessica did an awesome job on my makeup and hair. She was really flexible and worked with me from a distance and with my time constraints to make sure I got in a trial run before the wedding. The day of the wedding was really hot and humid and my makeup lasted through it all and looks amazing in the photos. Jessica also did a great job taming my hair in the humidity and the styles she created for two of my bridesmaids looked great too.
