    Leslie is the best!

    Leslie was absolutely amazing to work with. I am a type-A stress case, but she talked me through several near-meltdowns and made me feel at ease throughout the planning process. She created a day-of timeline for the getting ready process and was so on top of it, I was never once stressed about getting everyone taken care of and getting to the venue on time.
    My mom took a fall a couple of weeks before my wedding and Leslie was able to hide nearly all of the bruising that was left - no one even noticed anything had happened!
    She created a makeup look for me that was 100% personalized for the shape of my face, eyes, etc. and it was flawless! She listened to what I wanted my hair to look like and it turned out better than I ever imagined! My mom, my husband's mom and all of our bridesmaids were so incredibly happy with how their looks turned out. Her communication and attention to detail was amazing and she was a dream to work with from beginning to end. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Leslie - you won't find anyone better!

    From Tomboy to Bride

    I am a tomboy and as a bride - dreaded getting ready for my own wedding. I don't know the difference between foundation and primer. Ask me what hairstyles I like and I'll shrug. I'm also disabled and struggle to sit for too long in a styling chair. Put all this together - I was dreading hair & makeup. All fears melted away after my first phone call with Leslie. Don't know what jewelry or shoes to wear with your dress? She'll source them. Not sure how to heal your acne? She'll send you a customized skincare regimen. Leslie consulted with me for months - what makeup artist does that?! All my accessories were picked by her. On wedding day, she came prepared with disability-friendly resources and a calming, soothing demeanor. She didn't mind I didn't have a wedding party - she was willing to travel just for me & my mom. I am not exaggerating when I say I have never looked so beautiful in my life. I have never received so many compliments on my hair or makeup before, and I likely never will again. I walked down the aisle feeling like a princess. Most of all, I appreciated Leslie's willingness to share her decades of knowledge and experience with me. I learned so much! To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. There's really nothing bad I can say - I can't recommend her enough!

    Amazing Stylist and Human Being

    Leslie is such a treat to work with!! She is remarkably warm and helpful and was honestly like a wedding fairy godmother to me. She took the time to have an initial conversation with me to make sure we clicked. As she said, you spend a LONG time with your stylist, so you should know that you gel. She helped me understand the wedding day timeline, plan for all the circumstances, find the look that was going to be right for me, and she made me feel so stinkin' special. The treatments on the day of made me feel pampered and I truly felt beautiful and taken care of. Leslie and Carlita are the best!!!

    Dream stylist/ Makeup artist

    Leslie not only saved my wedding, but she made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day! Four days before my wedding I got canceled by my hair and makeup artist because I spoke concerns about not wanting them to straighten my curly hair to then have them re-curl it. I honestly didn't know what to do. Yes ladies, imagine this happening 4 days before your wedding. My husband contacted Leslie without me knowing and she not only spoke with him over the phone, but she also gave him other alternatives as well. This was supposed to be the only day off that Leslie would have had in over a week and she decided to come to the rescue. After my last experience I was a bit nervous but Wow, did Leslie amaze me! When she came to our Airbnb she and Carlita had their own tables, chairs everything you can think of. They were a true mobile salon. As the morning began Leslie started with the most amazing aromatherapy bath that honestly made my eyes roll to the back of my head. While I was getting the ultimate pampering my best friends are getting beautified by Carlita and all I hear is laughter radiating throughout the house. The energy and vibe that these ladies have is envirgating. Leslie was able to give me my dream boho look while using my naturally curly hair. How she braided portions of my hair and weaved it with the flowers was remarkable. I honestly felt like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, powerful and beautiful. Her make-up was lovely, she brought out the green in my eyes and gave me such a delicate natural look. Don't waste your time looking at any more hair or makeup artist. Leslie is the ONE! If you are undeceive of the Holistic skin treatment, DO IT! You will not regret it. I felt like I had just left a yoga retreat before getting married. Can't stop reminiscing about the beautiful experience that my girlfriends and I had, just magical. She was truly my fairy hair/ makeup artist! So in love with the type of service Leslies Arts offers. High quality!

    Exceptional!

    Leslie and her team (Carlita) were absolutely amazing. We had our original stylist cancel on us last minute and Leslie was there, to not only save the day but make it the most special day a bride could ask for! She pampered my bride to be, and her bridesmaids with essential oils, aromatherapy, massages, and truly let their natural beauty shine through. A true artist. My wife can't stop talking about how wonderful Leslie was. Thank you Leslie!

    The most genuine person!

    Leslie is the realest, most genuine person ever! We had to reschedule our hair/makeup trial multiple times due to bad weather (that's Colorado winters for you!) and she was always very responsive and flexible with rescheduling. When we finally had good enough weather I was on the highway headed for her place when my car broke down. I called her, nearly in tears, to explain that we would have to reschedule AGAIN and she was nothing but understanding and concerned for my safety. She even offered to drive down herself to where I was and pick me up so I wouldn't be stranded on the side of the highway. She acted more like my best friend or mother than just a vendor. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I will definitely be telling everyone I know to go to her!!

    Leslie treats you like a queen and brings your wedding dreams to life!

    Leslie is a true professional and incredibly skilled in her craft. Leslie did my up-do hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was exactly what I had always envisioned! She was intentional about recommending crystal pieces for my hair, earrings, and a makeup style that would tie together perfectly with my dress. She is one of the sweetest, most generous souls, going above and beyond to make your wedding day flawless! I cannot recommend Leslie enough.

    Total Hair/Make Up experience

    Leslie does it all... It starts with a phone consult and ends with looking your absolute best on your special day. I don't wear a lot of make up on a daily basis and having a trial prior to the wedding was helpful in seeing what my look could be like. The day of the trial was informative and helpful in not just how my wedding make up and hair would be, but also skincare tips for beyond that day. Leslie created a timeline for helping the day of the wedding go as smoothly as possible. On the day of our wedding, she and her assistants were there to make all of us look our best. She also stayed through our ceremony to help with make up touch up to make sure photos went perfectly. I would highly recommend Leslie for your special day and for feeling your absolute best!

    Very caring

    Leslie is so sweet and caring! She did such a nice job not only with hair and makeup but also with planning and coordination. My husband and I did a simple elopement to Rocky Mountain National Park, just the two of us, and she helped to make sure that everything went smoothly. She does something called after styling, and she helps keep you looking beautiful throughout the wedding photos. She even took a video of our vows and many pictures for us with my husbands phone after our photographer’s time was up for us to have as well. She is very responsive and has great insight into handling a wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding towns. Highly recommend Leslie!

    Stunning work, Leslie is a real gem!

    This review is long overdue, as it's now been 3 months since my wedding. But I'm so glad I picked Leslie to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! From the very beginning, which was an extremely thorough phone consult, to the very end, where I was headed out the door with my bridesmaids to go to the venue, her care and professionalism exceeded my expectations. She had my skin in tip-top shape from recommendations she made during my trial session, and she dealt with so many questions and changes in plan along the way. Having her come to the house made the morning of the wedding a really special get-together for all of the bridesmaids, mothers of the groom and bride, and me. She even gave some special attention to my Aunt who had been busy preparing all the flowers. The trial was invaluable as I really got to spend one-on-one time with Leslie, so I felt comfortable with her recommendations. She helped me deal with some morning stresses as well, as only one who has years of experience in this realm can do. And she does it with a quiet grace. I know my wedding was only a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, but if I ever have reason to have professional hair and makeup done again, I'll go to Leslie. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Leslie :-)

    RMNP Elopment

    Leslie went above and beyond and made our special day go by so much easier. My makeup and hair were stunning and exactly what I wanted. We chose to have Leslie stay with us for the ceremony and pictures after to provide her after styling services and wow am I glad we did. My husband and I eloped in the RMNP with the weather turning an unexpected 22 degrees with 5 inches of snow the day of. We really could not have done our ceremony as planned or all the fun locations we shot at without Leslie. Since I was alone with just my future husband at the time Leslies guidance and expertise at putting me at ease was especially appreciated. She also got along great with my photographer which was a huge added bonus since we all rode around together for a few hours getting pictures! Thank you for an amazing and more importantly fun day!

    Leslie was absolutely amazing! She was so flexible as we we're trying to decide what services to get and was amazingly accommodating as I live out of state. We were unable to do a prelim trail, but this was no issue. Leslie was always open with communication, we sent information and pictures back and fourth as needed, and I got so much information I had no problem just seeing what she came up with the day of. I felt completely comfortable and relaxed with Leslie. My makeup was better than anything I could have imagined. and my hair was beautiful.
    We also did after-styling which was SO worth the money! She helped make sure my hair, makeup, and dress was perfect during pictures and was so prepared for anything that could happen! Leslie was an amazing asset to have on my wedding day and we will be forever thankful for all she has done!

    Leslie goes beyond the duties of a MUA. I had my wedding this past week and she transformed me into a princess! I am not a makeup wearer so my knowledge with makeup is very limited. Leslie was super super patient with me when I was struggling to find the look that I wanted. She did her very best to put together the “look” as I tried to describe what I wanted using my amateur makeup terminology. I am very grateful and truly appreciate Leslie’s expertise and guidance from my prelim with her up until my wedding day. She took great care of me during the after styling as well and my photographer greatly appreciate her assistance! I highly recommend Leslie for she is truly one of a kind MUA. She truly cares for her brides and will do all she can to make the bride feel comfortable and beautiful. I definitely felt that way during my wedding!!

    My fiancee is not from this country. It's been a gigantic challenge to plan all of the beauty things that I have no knowledge of, like hair, makeup, jewelry, etc. The best thing that has happened to us is finding Leslie. She not only is helping us with planning all the details and timelines for our wedding day, but she has also helped my fiancee put together all of her bridal stuff like veil, jewelry and hair accessories.

    My fiancee was in town and went to Leslie's house for a preliminary appointment, which she was very nervous about. It turned out to be fantastic! Leslie spent the whole day pampering her with all sorts of spa services, skincare, makeup hair and more. My fiancee and I are now absolutely excited and confident about the wedding day since we know Leslie will be helping us with anything that comes up between now and the wedding day. And on the wedding day, she'll be with us through all the photos until the reception starts. It gives us peace of mind.

    Leslie has already gone far above and beyond what we even could have expected. I'm so thankful that we found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding service.

    How wonderful is Leslie? When I first contacted her all I was really looking for was someone to make me look extra beautiful for my wedding — with Leslie you get that plus so much more. She truly cares about her clients. Her commitment to the bride is unquestionable, and her experience and knowledge is invaluable. Not to mention she’ll make you look GORGEOUS! When I first contacted her she was already booked on my wedding date but still took me on — providing full consultation and preliminary services, and set me up with an another wonderful associate to provide my wedding day hair and makeup services. Then, post ceremony she went above and beyond, bending over backwards to make it to my wedding for afterstyling! Leslie exceeded all expectations and played such an integral role in making my day perfect. Thank you Leslie!

    Leslie helped me with skincare, makeup and hair, as well as my veil and combs. She is very artistically talented and has a lot of knowledge to share, which will not only help me as a bride but will keep serving me far into the future. She made my wedding preparations a lot more fun - and less scary! Leslie goes above and beyond, I hit the jackpot finding her on WeddingWire and would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Leslie made my day! She was a pleasure to work with from the first interaction til the last. She broke down everything and why it’s useful. Leslie is a professional who is knowledgeable in makeup, hair, general health, and whatever else you can think of. Anything she asks you to do just trust her and do it! We met in the morning but by the end of her time with me she felt like family.

    Leslie went above and beyond to make my special day perfect ! She was well prepared and went over every detail to make me feel comfortable ahead of time. This was great because I was traveling from out of town and didn't have a chance to meet in advance. She pampers you and makes you gorgeous . She's a one stop shop as well, she provided me with a gorgeous hair piece to wear after I took off my veil. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

    Leslie Snyder is no ordinary hair and make-up artist.
    1. Being in this business for more than 25 years, she is very knowledgeable about cosmetic and skin care products out there and will educate you. This is one of the services she offers and the information she imparts is evidence-based. She contributes to product research and studies. I started using some products she had recommended and I like the results!

    2. She has an A-team of hair/make-up stylists that comes with her. But she is a full hands-on hair and make-up artist. On the day of, she will focus on the person who will be the "focus of the day". The bride. Her hair and make-up skills is an art in itself and of course, you are the canvas. She is a master in bringing out your best beauty assets.

    3. She offers an after-styling service. She does MUH for commercial and prints and as a former model herself, she knows that during photo shoot, the subject , without any assistance, juggles with a lot of things (e.g. shoes on wet or muddy grass, train of the dress, light/drizzling rain, etc.). This service she offers, takes care of these little annoying, albeit minor things. While the photographer focuses on his own craft, at times, he is not aware that certain unwanted parts are exposed e.g. "back fats", askew hat/dress, etc. She spots these and corrects it.

    4. If you don't have one yet, she will suggest and/or will work with you on what accessory may go with your dress and hair. She got mine from at a gems and jewels show though she has a nice collection as well.

    The fees are a little pricey but you will get the best service.

    Leslie did my wedding hair and makeup, and it was everything I could have asked for. I felt more beautiful than I have ever felt before. My guests were utterly wowed; several told me I looked like a movie star! And despite windy conditions, my hair held without a problem. My husband was so impressed he said we should have her doll me up for his birthday, lol.

    Leslie is the best beauty resource I have ever met! Not only did she create a beautiful look for my wedding day, but she taught me so much about how to care for myself.

    From the first day I spoke with her, she helped me create a detailed day-of wedding timeline. It was SO handy to have that finished as I ironed out details with my other vendors. Everyone got a copy of it so they knew what to expect, and it went perfectly! It's not something that I was expecting a make up artist to help me with, but once we did that together, I knew that I needed to have Leslie in my corner for everything else. She shared skin and hair care tips with me, and helped me create a beautiful look! And then, on the wedding day, she worked her tail off! It rained/snowed, so she carried my dress/bouquet/veil/accessories to all of the different picture locations. For all of my gals, she touched up hair and makeup through out the day. If she hadn't have been there, I would have looked like a wet mouse for the ceremony! My hair stayed gorgeous, and my makeup was perfect!

    I highly recommend taking the time to go through ALL the details from the beginning. It is overwhelming at first, but so worth it! Leslie will guide you through all of the planning.

    Leslie is amazing!!! I was scrambling to find a make up artist and hair stylist for a media commercial and didn't know where to start. I am so happy that I found Leslie. She guided me every step of the way. She went above and beyond hair and make up and helped me with outfit choices/color, accessories and even the best route to take to downtown Denver. She also gave me tips on how to present myself on camera. She was able to perfectly capture the look I was hoping to relay on camera. The producer was so impressed with my hair and make up the he asked me who the artist was and said that she really knew what she was doing and it looked great on camera. He also said the outfit choice and color was perfect. Leslie really takes pride in what she does and wants her clients to look their best and wants her clients to be successful. It paid off, during my shoot I was asked to be a spokes person for the company I was shooting for. I highly recommend Leslie!

    I was a bridesmaid and enjoyed the services that Leslie provided. Not only did she educate on skin care and beauty tips for make up and hair, she made everyone feel comfortable by asking them what their likes and dislikes are. She also educated everyone on health tips and allowed her bride and the mothers to sit on a warm electrode mat that helps rejuvenate the body. Leslie was timely and very assertive while making it about the bride that day.

    Our wedding was scheduled for 10am and was an hour and a half drive away. Leslie showed up shortly after 5am on the morning of Labor Day and and began her hair and makeup magic. My bride was very happy with Leslie's work, and Leslie made the entire process fun. We highly recommend Leslie's services.

    Leslie did a preliminary day with my daughter and me, and then did our hair and makeup on the morning of my daughter's recent wedding. We just loved her and her work. Leslie really understood the look my daughter wanted, and I can tell you she has never looked more beautiful! Leslie is a seasoned pro who brings a great sense of humor, and a calming, soothing presence to what can be a very high-stress day, and will share all kinds of useful tips and information regarding health and beauty. We highly recommend her services to brides, moms-of-brides, and any wedding party members who want to look their best.

    Leslie is wonderful! She really cares about making you look perfect on your special day. Her tips and advice start months in advance, trying to get your skin to be flawless for your wedding. She goes beyond just your wedding day, she wants to improve your overall health. She truly cares about you and is happy to share her knowledge with you and your bridesmaids. I had Leslie stay after the ceremony to help with photos and fix my hair and make up. She did great keeping everything and everyone together to finish pictures and get to the party. I'm so glad to have her help with everything! I will continue to seek out her advice even though my wedding is over.

    I recently booked Leslie for my wedding hair and makeup. She was absolutely amazing. She is an extremely talented makeup artist with a lot of experience. My hair also turned out great. I would recommend her to any bride out there. She is not only talented but a wonderful person as well. She provides an after styling service for brides and it was the best thing I could have ever spent money on. She will help make sure you look fantastic in every picture and be there to touch up your makeup after the ceremony. Definitely a must do!

    I went to Leslie for my wedding because I wanted a fuller styling experience rather than just doing make-up myself and going to the local hair salon near my venue, where all the pictures made it look like everyone came out with the exact same barrel curls schellac-ed to their heads, and it was the best decision I made. With the preliminary appointment a month ahead of time, Leslie gave me great advice on my skin care, which helped my skin look worlds improved by my wedding day. She also advised me extensively at that prelim appointment on styling around my dress, jewelry, and hairpiece so that I had time to make good final decisions. On the day of, she did an amazing job of managing people, ranging from attendants and mothers to the photographer during after-ceremony pictures-all of which helped keep me as relaxed as possible! I loved how I looked-it was what I wanted and asked for, and it looked unique and suited to me. I think the best complement I received was when I emailed a snapshot from the wedding to an old friend in Boston, who used to work at several big television shows in NYC, and she commented on how amazingly beautiful my styling was, including my make-up, hair, dress, jewelry and shoes! Several other people commented on what a relaxed and smiling bride I was, and I credit Leslie with making me feel beautiful on the outside but also keeping me relaxed on the inside, which made everything come together. Worth every single penny to anyone looking beyond the cookie cutter!!!

    Leslie is a wonder woman! She literally saved the day! My original hairstylist had cancelled on me 5 days before the wedding, and I called everywhere looking for a hairstylist that was open on August 5th for a wedding. And Leslie called me back almost immediately! She was booked for the entire month of August except for my date! And it was a godsend the other stylist quit on me because Leslie was beyond perfect. She made my vision for my look come to life, as well as for my bridesmaids! And she was so much more than a hairstylist. She was more like an event helper. She knew every trick of the trade and really helped everything move so smoothly! I could not be more impressed with her work and I recommend her to any bride! She can truly make your dream look come true!

    Leslie is GREAT! We did a trail run months before my wedding, and let's just say that my skin was not in the best shape. She put me on a skin program and now my skin looks great! My hair and makeup looked beautiful for my wedding and stayed looking fresh the entire night. I trust Leslie 100% with my skin and hair and will recommend her to anyone that needs advice, skin care, spray tans, or their hair done.

    Leslie did an AMAZING job on my hair and makeup on my wedding day. It was really helpful to have a trial run a few months before the wedding. She was able to identify some changes I could make in my skin care. I used the products she suggested, and my skin has never looked better! Leslie is very knowledable and fun to work with. I would definitely recommend her services!

    The last time I had worn make-up was on my first date- 9 years ago! I was very nervous about wearing make-up for our wedding. I didn't want to look like a clown and I didn't want to have a bad prom hair do...especially for what I was paying. Leslie worked her magic from the second I arrived and made me feel like an absolute princess. I have NEVER felt as beautiful as I did on that day. From the spa treatments before she even started working on my face to the simple make-up to the absolutely beautiful hair style she created. She was a gem and it felt like I had my sister doing me up rather than someone I had never met before.

    After my trial I knew it was exactly what I wanted. They left me feeling beautiful, yet still natural.My wedding day makeup was perfect and exactly what I was looking for.

    Very friendly and helpful. Easy to talk to and really took my opinions and thoughts into account - listened to what I did and did not want.

    Leslie was so amazing! My makeup and hair was absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Her preliminary appointment was so much more than I expected. Not only did we try out several makeup and hair ideas, she gave me a complete skin care lesson that has changed my life. I used to have problem skin, but within a couple weeks of following Leslie's suggestions, my skin was completely clear and smooth! I can actually say I love my skin, and it is all thanks to Leslie's depth of knowlege on skincare.

    Leslie was very dedicated and committed to making my daughter's wedding day beautiful. Our event was during the great flood and she was great during this very difficult time. We had to move the wedding from the original venue to our home due to the flood damages and she was very adaptable to the changes.

    Leslie certainly is very talented in make-up, skin care and hair design. She also is incredible on the day of the wedding at calming the bride and making sure everything is running smoothly around her. She is a natural when it comes to working with brides and mother's who really like perfection. We were very pleased. Leslie is pricey but also the best.

    She is great at her job

    Leslie is great at beauty. Leslie and her assistant did a wonderful job. Leslie has a strong personality and really stresses her ways. It can be overwhelming, especially for the bride to have to change details last minute because they do not fit into what Leslie deemed the right way. I ended up paying more for a hotel in Boulder so I would not have to pay more than the $1800 I was already paying Leslie for. Really know the laws and read your contracts for any professional you deal with. There was tension between my whole bridal party and Leslie. If you can just focus on what needs to be done, Leslie is a great choice.

    Leslie did my hair and make-up, as well as hair and makeup for my mom and sister. I spaced on booking someone until the last minute, so it was a blessing to find her available two weeks before the wedding! It ended up being a little more than I was originally intending on spending, but she was 100% worth it! My hair and makeup looked perfect the entire night and we didn't even need to use the emergency kit she included. She also did my eyebrows that morning and I don't think they've ever looked better! She does those eyelashes that come in individual clusters, so they look more realistic.

    As a short girl, with a bit of a baby face, I was a little worried that my hair would make me look like I was going to prom. Leslie was very reassuring with my concerns and made my hair look absolutely elegant. I looked (and felt) like a bride. I would highly recommend Leslie's services. She's well worth it!

    I found Leslie at only a few weeks before the wedding, and felt very lucky that she was still available. She had been planning on going to a gem show in Denver, but changed her plans so that she could work with us. Working with Leslie was great, she came over and we did a tutorial/test run day and she gave me a lot of great products to try. My skin was reacting to stress at that point, and she was able to help me figure out the root issues better than my dermatologist was able to. I wish I had found her long before the wedding so that my skin could have been perfect! She stayed the day of the wedding and did after-styling - it was great to have someone there who was making sure that everyone looked perfect. I would definitely recommend working with her for wedding/photoshoots/make-up, everything. I'm going to continue working with her for skin-care, and am happy to have her as a resource moving forward!

    Leslie provided makeup for my wedding day and did an amazing job. I don't wear much makeup and so had been worried about looking overdone, but I needn't have worried: the makeup looked beautiful and "flawless," as one of my friends put it.

    Her services are definitely not cheap, but you get what you pay for: she's not only very talented, but uses extremely high quality products that really will last all day.

    Also, she was very flexible and kind enough to not charge me when my future mother-in-law canceled her own appointment the night before the wedding. Even though I had agreed to pay for that in the contract, Leslie let it slide so I didn't have to worry about it. I was very grateful for that.

    One weird thing is that she kinda did a sales pitch for the skincare line she uses during my initial appointment, which I felt a little uncomfortable about. On the other hand, I decided the products did seem really good and ended up buying some-- I'm really pleased with them and feel they've helped my skin a lot.

    Again, not the cheapest services available, but if you're looking for a reliable professional you can trust to make you look your best for your wedding (or any special occasion), Leslie is a great choice!

    Leslie is an incredibly talented hair and makeup artist that enjoys what she does and tries hard to help her bride's have fun and enjoy the experience of being made-up and beautiful. She did a fantastic job of giving me the hairstyle that I wanted, even though it was a little different from the normal requests. She also did great work accommodating my bridesmaids' very different hair types and lengths and finding styles to fit them all. As for the makeup, that I think is her true specialty - it was amazing! Also, her run-through with her brides is worth the money because she spends a ton of time with you and helps you get your skin and hair prepped far in advance of the big day.

She was able to work with all of the different hair types and create the styles that each girl requested. Leslie was extremely helpful during the day of the wedding and I was so happy I found her! Thanks Leslie!

    Leslie is wonderful and passionate about her work! She does a stellar job on wedding day hair and makeup, and knows how to work with every skin type and every hair type. She is extremely kind and generous, and you can tell that she really cares about every one of her clients!

    Leslie did a great job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She put me at ease and her products were very high quality and the makeup looked great all day and night. I did not have time for a consultation prior to my wedding but she had good suggestions and ideas. She also took care of my sister who was a little indecisive on how to style her hair. She was very patient with her and talked through some options and the final product looked great. Overall a fun, enjoyable experience and the pictures turned out wonderful!

    Leslie made my makeup for my wedding day so magical! She really knows how to apply makeup to all shades of skin. She is especially talented in creating a makeup experience that reflects individual style. For example, I told her that I didn't want to look 'made-up' on my wedding day, just enhanced as I don't wear a lot of makeup on normal days, and really just wanted my face to look pretty, with stunning lashes as the pièce de résistance... She was able to do that beyond my expectation.

    Leslie was really really helpful. It was wonderful having her do my hair and makeup for my wedding. I didn't have to worry about whether I would look good, because she took good care of me. I did have her stay for some after-styling, and even though I was initially hesitant about it, it was worth it, because she not only helped fix makeup for the pictures, but helped the photographer a bit as well. The assistant she brought was also very good. Having leslie definitely lowered the stress level on my wedding day and the good job she did is reflected in how well the photos turned out.

    Leslie was great! She is very knowledgeable about hair and makeup and made me look fabulous on my wedding day! she even took flowers from my bouquet (just a few small ones) and worked them into my hair. I have never felt more beautiful... She is a little pricy, but she was able to come to me on a holiday (July 4th) and didn't charge a milage fee. Well worth the money!

    Leslie is definitely worth the money! I have never been happier with hair and make-up in my life!
    I used to hate getting my hair done. Every time it was done I would hate how unnatural it looked, I felt like no hairdresser ever understood what I wanted. Then I met Leslie!
    I loved everything that she did. My make-up was so beautiful and SO natural looking. My husband was so scared he would not recognize me on our big day with all of the make-up and when he saw me he was so happy! I looked just like myself, only much better!
    My hair was the same way, just PERFECT! I danced all night long and it didn’t budge. In fact, I wore my hair up the next day and the day after! 3 days passed and it still looked like the night I got married!
    The moms and bridesmaids all said the same thing…she is awesome!
    She took the time to fix my skin care regimen and now my skin looks perfect! I still order all of her products! She really knows her stuff!
    Both her and her assistant Jessica added such a positive energy to my wedding day! They were the best!

    Leslie was great to work with and provided a lot of information. It was a bit more expensive than I initially planned, but I received so many compliments for my hair and make-up. I wanted something less than typical for my hair and she was able to come up with an idea that worked perfectly.

    Leslie provided 3 girls for my day. Her services are expensive. One thing I didn't like was being charged for mileage and fees for the trial, so it ended up being over $150 for the trial. not sure it that was worth it.
    The day of the girls showed up early and we were ahead of schedule the entire day. Everyone loved their hair and makeup, and they did a great job. Recommended!

    Leslie is thorough & does a good job, but she definitely takes her time. She makes a schedule and tries to stick to it, but she seems to always be running a little bit behind. Luckily I have known my photographer for years and she was able to make up some time and make it work. My makeup and hair looked beautiful though.

    Leslie did an overall great job. She did, however, lack professionalism. She offended not only my mother, but my bridesmaids and 2 of my sisters. Leslie was kind to me, but quite bossy and rude to everyone else in my wedding party. As my wedding day went on I kept hearing comments of things that had been said to my family and it was disappointing. I was glad that she showed up considering the flood conditions , however she was late and rushed us even though she was late. For the cost, I did expect a bit of a better attitude.

    All in all as far as service goes, my hair and makeup came out great, and if my review were based solely on that she would get a 5. I felt beautiful (though flustered) so I do recommend her based on that fact.

    Honestly wouldn't recommend

    There is good and bad about working with Leslie. The makeup artist I had planned to use was a disaster at my trial and I was scrambling a few weeks before my wedding to find someone. She agreed to help without much notice which I did appreciate. What I did not appreciate was how unprofessional she was at times. She was so pushy to get all my finace's information which he is protective of. She insisted she needed his phone number, etc. which I thought was so strange, our hair lady never asked for any of that. She will try to make a schedule and really control how the morning goes getting ready but I don't feel listened to how I had planned for things to go that day. Overall I was pretty happy with my makeup and I do think she is talented with makeup. My eyes turned out very nice. I was really disappointed with the lip color she brought. It was a sparkly lip gloss like the kind I wore to high school prom forever ago..... She really wanted to do our hair also but I am so so glad I said no. It took her hours to do makeup for 2 people and we were late for our pictures because of it which I really regretted. Our hair person was so fast, we would have been so so late if she had to do hair for 3 people also I don't think we would have made pictures at all before the wedding. In short although she is good at makeup I wouldn't recommend her to a friend for a wedding. I was also frustrated at trying to be sold other services like dress fluffing etc. for pictures which I had to tell her multiple times I was not interested in and was not in the budget.

    I had a really hard time working with Leslie. I was happy with my makeup the day of my wedding, but I would not recommend her to a friend. If you decide to work with Leslie, here are some things to know before signing any contracts:
    1. Your makeup trial will take about 10 hours. ALL. DAY. She will not cut anything short or work within any time constraints. If you have somewhere to be that day, she will make you reschedule. Prepare to be in her chair for the entire day.
    2. She will send you an extensive timeline for the day of your wedding. I, initially, loved this! However, it is unlikely she will follow the plan and the plan will span several hours. For me, after extreme negotiating and stress, she and an assistant did five faces of makeup in 5.5 hours (8 am to 1:30pm). She initially wanted to start my makeup at 6:45 am.
    3. She will seem very flexible at the beginning; all about the bride and making her happy. However, that was not my experience. She was the vendor that caused me the most stress because she was slow to respond to my inquiries and did not communicate well. I also felt that she was pushing certain services on me after I explicitly stated I didn't want them and/or could not pay for them.
    I read her other reviews (very positive) and my wedding coordinator recommended her, but I'm sorry to say that my overall experience with Leslie was unhappy at best.
