    Amazing MUAH Service

    I don’t where to start Jillian and her second artist’s service! They did an amazing job on MUAH for me, my 4 bridesmaids, and 2 flower girls. They were on time, fast, and made the entire experience fun. They even did my mom’s makeup last minute the day of who is going through chemo and hair loss. It was such a beautiful moment for all of us and one I will never forget. I’d highly recommend her for any MUAH needs.

    Hire this human being!!

    I am a Pensacola native but have moved out of state for the past 4 years, so I had no idea the wedding scene of Pensacola until I started planning last year during COVID. I was on Instagram searching hair and make up artists and decided I wanted someone who could do both for me, my family and bridal party. I was lucky enough to find Jillian and let me tell you, she was beyond inviting, sweet and beautiful inside and out. From our first interaction via email regarding her prices and up to the big day, she was very quick to reply and answer all of my questions. It was so easy to pay for the invoice - she sends you the link immediately and is flexible in adding or removing any service. I ended up having my hair and make up, mom’s H&M, 3 MOH H&M plus one last minute addition of a wedding guest’s H&M. I wasn’t able to schedule a test run of my hair and make up since I was only home for a few weekends to wedding plan but some would question why I would even hire her without a test run. I just knew she would do an amazing job no matter what. Her photos on IG are great examples of her work - they’re all so naturally beautiful and I love her style. She came to the venue bright and early to work on all of us and she was so natural in her element of getting us all ready! Her warming personality really does settle the nerves for your big day. She listens and suggests things in a very nice way and never felt pressure to do a certain thing. I gave her my “things I don’t really like” and let her do whatever type of makeup she wanted. I truly have never felt SO BEAUTIFUL in my entire life all thanks to her. My makeup was insanely gorgeous and never felt like it was too cakey or too much. It was still glam and not overdone at the same time. My hair was perfectly in place the entire day/night!! I knew I wanted curls that were loose and not too much volume. I don’t know how she does it, but she is damn good at her job. Do not hesitate to reach out now - she is so talented and I hope to use her again for any event that I have in Pensacola or the surrounding areas. Thank you so much for making us all feel so welcomed and beautiful. You are the BEST! Big hugs to you!!

    You are the absolute sweetest and I loved every minute of working with you and your crew. Thank you so much for the kind words! 🤍

    The Best Person and Artist

    Jillian did an AMAZING job on both mine and my 4 bridesmaid's hair and makeup. She and another artist came to the venue and they both were fun and easy-going. They definitely helped take the stress and pressure off of us while we were in their chairs. They both wore masks while working with us, and they were very careful with keeping the instruments they used clean and sanitized for each of us. If you want a great artist that does amazing work, along with a great person in general, you have found the right person in Jillian!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Oh, Tanner! Thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely loved working with you - Haley and I both agreed that your group was so sweet and fun to be around, too!

    She will make your hair and makeup dreams come true!

    Our wedding was in FL, but we live in Texas. While planning, we did our engagement photos near the wedding spot, and planned to use it as a trial for photographer, hair, makeup etc. For that my 'trial', I went to a salon... and KNEW i needed to find someone else. My photographer recommended Jillian and I hired her without meeting her... and she blew all expectations out of the water!! Jillian is AMAZING. You will not be disappointed if you hire her. She did the hair and makeup of myself, 3 bridesmaids, and two mothers. Everyone looked fabulous! For my hair and makeup, I really didn't come in with a whole lot of specifics. I knew I wanted a hair vine vs a traditional veil. She took one look at my dress and made ABSOLUTE magic happen. I cannot express enough how happy I am with my decision to hire Jillian! 100% recommend!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Oh, Taylor! You were absolutely the most wonderful bride to work with! I am so happy that everything was exactly what you wanted.

    Thoroughly enjoyed having Jillian as my make-up artist and hair stylist for the big day! She did an amazing job with all of the ladies, including my mom and mother-in-law and she was so fun to be around! Thank you so much for everything!

    Incredibly Gifted and Fun MUAH

    I could have never picked a better person to work with for my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Jillian is professional, extremely savvy about current trends, easygoing, remarkably talented, fun to be with, and has a heart of gold. She made me and my family feel like queens and princesses and the big day, and most importantly, she made us feel at ease. Jillian helped me craft the coolest, most beautiful bridal look for me that worked for my offbeat wedding. However, she also worked beautifully with my MIL, whose tastes are very conservative. We all loved the process of working with this amazing woman, whom I now call my friend. Hire her! She’s incredible!!!!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Ellie! I LOVE you! Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly had the best day with you and all the wonderful women who surround you.

    Amazing to work with!

    I am so glad I hired Jillian to do our hair and makeup for my wedding. I told her I wanted a natural look since I never wear makeup and she did just that. The makeup was so lightweight and I loved it. I did have her go a little heavier on my wedding day (compared to the trial) but it was still a light amount and looked AMAZING. She did the hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honor and my mom. We all looked and felt beautiful. She is such a pleasure to work with and is very quick to respond to questions and concerns. You will not be disappointed in her amazing talents!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    I absolutely loved working with you, Haley! I am so glad we were able to achieve a bridal look that was natural and comfortable, but gave you the polish you wanted.

    Jillian listened to what I wanted and worked with me to achieve the perfect look for my big dat

    I wanted a very natural makeup look and it was also important to have someone who would come to our hotel suite. Jillian was so great to work with and she was very open to my feedback on getting just the right look for my wedding. I am so happy with how it turned out and my hair and makeup looked perfect all night long. Even at 2 am!! Jillian was fun to work with and she fit right in with all my girls in our suite. Would definitely recommend!

    Couldn't be happier!

    Jillian is absolutely AMAZING!! I just got married down in Orange Beach this past weekend and Jillian did my hair and makeup for the big day. She made me feel like an absolute princess! I have had my hair and makeup done as a bridesmaid many times before and have never been fully satisfied with it - but Jillian's work was unbelievable and was more than I could have ever hoped for. She's truly an artist and has a special gift! I will forever be grateful to her for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day.

    Great hair and makeup artist!!!

    She was always on time and ready to work. She was a great listener and was able to work with me to get the exact look I was going for on my wedding day. She was a trooper and did my hair and makeup AND my five bridesmaids hair and makeup and they all turned out beautifully! Highly recommend!

    Jillian was great!! She traveled to the beach and did all of the work at my hotel. She came on Friday for my trial so that I was able to use modified looks for my rehearsal dinner. On my wedding day she did my hair and make up, 5 bridesmaids, MOB, and MOG and was done ahead of schedule. Everyone in my wedding party absolutely loved her and we received multiple compliments on how good we all looked, even after a beach ceremony. I showed her just a few pictures and she was easily able to pull off the look that I wanted. I would definitely recommend using her services!! I wish she would come do my hair and makeup everyday!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Kelsey, thank you so much for your kind words! I loved working with you and your bridal party, and I was thrilled that your Mom and Mother in Law loved the way they looked! I would definitely do your makeup every day!

    Jillian is a Hoot!! She really became part of the bridal party and made getting ready so much fun. She was very flexible with unplanned last minute requests for hair and makeup and got everyone ready on time and very beautifully. My daughter wanted two tattoos covered up on her back and Jillian's knowledge and products made that possible. Thanks again Jillian, Cheers!!

    Jillian is THE BEST!

    I cannot say enough good things about Jillian! From Day One, she made sure it was the style I had envisioned for my wedding day. I sent her pictures of what I liked, and we set up a trial and worked with me on my hair and make-up. She and another stylist (Haley-- who was also great!) did the hair and make-up for my mom, mother-in-law, 8 bridesmaids and me. They were finished way before the time I requested so we were able to relax before getting ready, and they really tied the styles into everyone's personality so well! I cannot recommend Jillian enough for your wedding or special event! THANK YOU, JILLIAN!

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Kearney! You were such a joy to work with with! Both Haley and I LOVED your whole bridal party and we definitely feel blessed to have spent your special day with you.

    Miracle Worker

    Jillian is quite simply a miracle worker. She did my makeup for my sister's wedding and I knew I had to book her for my own. Not only did she make the entire wedding party look gorgeous, she was so much fun to talk with as we were all getting ready. Her makeup made me look like the most beautiful version of myself.

    Wedding makeup

    I absolutely loved working with Jillian. I came across a situation that required a last minute makeup artist and when I called her I had very little hope she would be available. Somehow miraculously she had my wedding date available. I was extremely happy.
    The biggest thing for me was making sure I still looked like myself. She absolutely made that happen. She was so friendly and helpful. She even helped me do some last minute setting up for the reception. I would recommend her any day!!!

    Jillian was an absolutely pleasure to work with and I couldn't be happier with her services. She understood exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day and she made me feel absolutely beautiful. Communication was always timely and professional. The level of attention to detail given to me and my small bridal party was impeccable. I feel very lucky to have found someone who helped me to pull together my bridal look exactly how I wanted, and helped me feel relaxed the whole time! Thanks so much, Jillian!!

    Jillian was so amazing! The first time that I met her, I felt as though we were already friends. She was so attentive to my wants and needs and listened to my ideas. My wedding weekend was a whirlwind to say the least. My wedding got moved once and then cancelled by my venue due to hurricane Nate. It was then rescheduled again in less than 12 hours. Jillian didn't falter from all of the changes. She was there for me and on time, and I am forever grateful! She made me feel beautiful on my special day.

    JMUAH! Jillian Jensen Holt MakeUp Artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Oh, Samantha! I feel the same way! I drove home from your bridal trial feeling so much excitement because we just clicked! I am so thrilled that we were able to make your wedding day happen for you, regardless of Hurricane Nate's plans.

    Ooookay ladies, seriously, look no further! Jillian was incredible. She made me feel so beautiful for my engagement shoot, bridal shoot AND my wedding. I knew the second I met her at my engagement shoot that she was going to be the perfect person for the job. Not only is she a damn magician when it comes to hair and make up but she's such a down to earth, fun and personable person. I barely explained my vision to her and she knew exactly what I wanted and she nailed it 3/3 times. She also made all of my bridesmaids look and feel absolutely stunning. Lastly, she did my mom's hair and make up on my wedding day and I've never seen my mom look so glowing. My mom has a disease that unfortunately makes her hair fall out so my mom always wears her hair curled and styled the same (to cover the bald spots). However, she wanted something different for the day of my wedding because like all of us, she wanted to look and feel her best as well. Jillian was so understanding and accommodating to her. She styled my mom's hair in a way that my mom didn't even know was possible and it look absolutely incredible!! Seriously, hands down, if Jillian is available for your date, BOOK HER! You won't regret it! :)

    Jillian is super talented, flexible, and responds to questions quickly!! I first met Jillian when I booked her to do my make up for my engagement pictures! I knew right away that I wanted to book her for my wedding day as well. She listened carefully and delivered exactly what I wanted in terms of my makeup without me having to give her much direction!!! In fact I'm not the best at conveying what I like when it comes to having my hair and makeup done but Jillian is always spot on!! She is funny and down to earth and I would book her again in a heartbeat!!

    Jillian is the coolest, nicest, most talented person I've ever had touch my face. Not only is she ridiculously professional, she's also fun to talk to and be around! She did makeup for both my engagement pictures (which we used as a 'trial run' for the wedding) and the ceremony itself, and was so receptive to what I wanted (which, if you're wondering, was "fancy but down-to-earth Instagram model.") She made me feel comfortable and made me look like a gorgeous, uptown version of myself - plus, it stayed alllll day (even through sweat and tears.) I'm all for DIY-ing as much of your event as you can - and I'm not one to usually wear makeup - but for your wedding day, I highly suggest leaving it to a professional that loves her job and wants you to love what she does (and you totally will.) There's nobody else that fits the bill but Jillian!
