Loved Whit!
I had a wonderful experience working with Whitney for my wedding day. Her hair and makeup technique is awesome and she really listened to what I envisioned. She is a wonderful person and made me feel so comfortable and pampered :) I highly recommend Whitney, she's really talented and such a sweetheart! -

Whit is the best!
I am pretty comfortable with doing makeup and I think it is fun. That said, I had no interest in worrying about that mess on my wedding day. The stakes are far too high! So on one sleepless night I stumbled across Whit's IG through a series of clicks and was blown away by her work. So I reached out and crossed my fingers that she was available... I procrastinated.
Lucky for me she was available! Securing the date was super straightforward and easy.
The trial was so much fun. She is so easy to talk to and I instantly felt comfortable. We worked through my vision and tweaked things here and there and I left feeling like a million bucks! Fast forward to my wedding day... she outdid herself. Like, I did not think it could get any better but it did. We tweaked the look again (she is so patient and flexible) and I LOVED the way it turned out. I felt so confident and good in my skin that day. Oh and the make up was gorgeous in photos and lasted all day which is basically everything you want for your wedding day!
Don't hesitate! Book Whit! She is the real deal and going places!
Thanks Whit!!! -

There’s so much to love about Whitney – she’s (obviously) gorgeous, genuinely sweet, and most importantly, so incredibly talented! She provided hair and make up services for my destination elopement on the coast. She accommodated scheduling a trial well in advance since it would be the only time I’d be in the area prior to my wedding which I really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and was flexible with a last minute getting ready location change. Whitney took my feedback from our trial and nailed my hair and makeup on the day of – I felt so beautiful! My Mom wears almost no makeup day to day so she was hesitant about the outcome of her look. Whitney carefully listened to my Mom about what she did and didn’t want and created a natural make up look. The end result of her hair and makeup was stunning. I wish I was local because I would use Whitney for any hair and make up needs in the future in a heartbeat! -

Whitney is incredible to work with! She is incredibly talented and listens carefully to her clients’ wants. She’s done my makeup and hair multiple times (I’m very, very picky!) and she has knocked it out of the park every time. I can not recommend her enough. I’ve used other well known stylist who haven’t come close to her ability. -

Whit truly does such amazing work! She did my hair and makeup for my senior photos and it was nothing short of perfection. She has an amazing personality, and prides herself in doing a stunning job every time she has a client. I would highly recommend her to anyone she is the best! -

Whitney did the makeup for my wedding on 1/1/17 and did an excellent job! She handled myself, my two bridesmaids, and both mothers makeup like a true professional. Our makeup looked just as good at the after party as it did in the beginning of the day. Highlighy recommend!-

Whitney was absolutely amazing. She made a last min opening for me to do my makeup for my enagagemt session. She came directly to my house for my own convience. She was so sweet to talk to and chat with the whole time. We played music, sang, laughed and had fun! My before and after was amazing and I was ultimately impressed. I will recommend her to everyone i meet! She will be traveling to Bend with me for my wedding in June!! Love you Whit!-

Whitney did my hair and make up for a photo shoot/ suprise proposal and she is truly an Artist!

My hair and make up literally withstood a blizzard, it was amazing. She is seriously the best, you won’t be disappointed! -

Whitney was the only person I trusted with my hair and makeup for my wedding this past summer. When I found out my date was available, I was so thrilled. Whitney made the entire process so easy and painless, from her flexibility working out a time for my hair and makeup trial with my busy schedule, to the morning of the wedding, having such a fun and easy going attitude she just fit right in with my bridesmaids and everyone enjoyed her company. She absolutely slayed my hair and makeup and I was so happy with it! I would choose her again without question! -

My mother has always been in awe with Whitney’s ability to apply makeup on everyone with such an amazing technique and care. My mother asked me shyly if I would ask Whitney if she could do her hair and makeup for her very special day. Despite Whitney being busy, she agreed with such a positive attitude and left my mother completely satisfied with her transformation. Thank you Whitney for everything, you’re truly such an amazing women and make up artist! -

Whitney is absolutely incredible! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and my makeup turned out even better than my trial run! (Which was insane because the trial run was PERFECT) I absolutely recommend Whitney to anyone for any occasion. She is so professional yet so fun, and people were complimenting my makeup all night long. -

Whitney and her hair + makeup squad are incredibly talented and professional women to work with. They added to the excitement and fun the morning of my wedding, and were exceptionally kind and patient towards my mother and mother-in-law. A couple of my bridesmaids had they hair and makeup done at 7:00 am and it was absolutely flawless and lasted throughout the day and night!! I felt just as I'd hoped for my wedding day, like the best and most beautiful version of myself. I would absolutely recommend Makeup By Whit for any special occasion. -

Whitney and her team are simply amazing! She did my makeup for two wedding ceremonies this fall and nailed it...everyone wanted to know who did our hair and makeup. Her attention to detail and perfection for every last detail is everything you want for your wedding day! I looked through a ton of artists in the Portland area and when I came across her work...I knew instantly I wanted her artistry for my big days! Get her before she is booked next summer ladies you will not regret looking like a 10 on your wedding day! -

Whitney is AMAZING! I cannot say enough about her, she was absolutely wonderful. She did my makeup, my mothers and my bridal party and did an absolutely fantastic job. Everyone loved her and she made everyone looked beautiful by just enhancing their best features. From the trial, to emailing beforehand, to the day of, she was a pleasure to work with. She was the only makeup artist that was flexible in trying more than one look for my eyeshadow because I couldn't figure out which way to go. She is genuinely funny, bubbly, extremely warm/nice person and helped me stay calm on my big day. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for the most memorable day of my life, please use her! -

Whitney did my make up for our surprise wedding back in October. It was without a doubt the prettiest I have ever felt. We did a trial run ahead of time where we nailed exactly what I wanted, and I was certainly satisfied, but then the day of make up took it to another level. She was so easy to work with, calm (which is great on wedding day), and made sure I looked just how I imagined. I completely trust her skill, and would have her do my makeup everyday if I could! Whitney is incredibly talented and a must have for your wedding day make up. You're the best girl! -

I’ve never met anyone quite like Whitney. She has the ability to look at someone and accentuate all their best features, making someone feel and look even more beautiful than they already are. She has her own style, but also listens to what each individual person wants and accomplishes the brides dream for herself and her bridesmaids. To be truly amazing at your job you have to be able to adapt and listen to what someone else wants, especially in this field. Whitney did just that and more. Her attitude and personality leads you to have a new best friend at the end of the day. Along with leaving you feeling and looking beautiful on your big day. I know many artists, and I live in North Carolina, but I know that I would only accept whitney to do my hair and makeup. She is reasonably priced, and I would rather pay to have her fly out to me for the quality of work she provides than anyone else.
She is the only person I could ever recommend. -

Whitney was absolutely amazing! I had her booked over a year before my wedding date but everything was very easy... the trial run was flexible and easy. She even did a second one on me because I wanted to be sure of the hair! She stayed with me as my wedding was 3 hours away. She woke up before everyone else and started setting up her station. She was prompt and on time! The hair gal was a last minute thing which I was nervous about but Whitney made sure I had a hair gal on my wedding day. Although it wasn’t ideal. She did amazing and I’ve never looked better! -

Whitney did mine and my bridal party's makeup for my big day about a month ago and she was absolutely wonderful to work with! From the get-go, I could tell that she has a true passion for what she does and takes the time to get to know her brides and make them feel comfortable. During our trial run, she was very professional and asked me detailed questions about my comfort level with makeup, how much I usually wear, and the type of look that I was going for. It is so refreshing to work with a makeup artist that really listens and incorporates your feedback into their work! :) Fast forward to the day of my wedding, I was impressed with how well she was able to adapt to all of our different skin tones and features - a quality of a versatile makeup artist! We all looked incredible on the big day, and Whitney made us all feel so beautiful and special. Thank you again for your hard work, Whitney - I hope I get a chance to work with you again in the future! <3 -

She is amazing loved my makeup for my special day. I was disappointed with my hair tho, because my hair extensions were curled separately from my natural hair which is something that shouldn’t be done and after a couple hours my natural hair went flat, after owning hair extensions for so many years and knowing how to work with them in my hair i wasnt impressed. I would recommend whitney for services. -

Don’t book NW Hair + Makeup for your wedding
I recently booked NW Hair and Makeup for my wedding in September and unfortunately was so bummed by the experience. If you’re searching for a hair and makeup company for your wedding I would STRONGLY encourage you to do research and book elsewhere.
I want to start by saying the entire experience with them was mediocre. I was originally supposed to get married in October of 2020 but was forced to postpone due to the pandemic and was charged $250 to change the wedding date which was a bummer but I guess I understood the circumstances.
I had to change the location of “getting ready” morning of wedding which I confirmed with them no less than 3 times and when they sent over the last few email correspondences leading up to wedding they failed to spell my name correctly and continued to have the wrong location. Just thought they would be more on top of it.
The morning of my wedding I was informed that they were sending a replacement hair gal who showed up about 30 minutes late. I had 5 girls in my wedding who were getting their hair done (including the MOB and MOG). Each on of them ended up fixing their hair and re doing everything after our hair girl left. I was so embarrassed and bummed that after all the money that was spent NO ONE LIKED THEIR HAIR. So disappointing.
I do want to emphasis the girl I had for my wedding day trail makeup and hair was Kala and she was the BEST!! She really was so great and did such a great job on my hair and makeup.
I understand it’s been a difficult year for businesses but I’m so disappointed with the services based off how much money I paid! It was not cheap…. Again I’d strongly encourage anyone considering NW Hair + Makeup to book with another company. I really wish I had had a different hair+makeup experience for my wedding. -

Unprofessional
I would not recommend NWMakeupandHair/Makeupbywhit to any bride. Her lack of professionalism and flexibility is abysmal. I was a bride during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to postpone my wedding and reception due to a GOVERNMENT MANDATE to shelter in place and keep 6 ft distance in addition to concern for the health and safety of my guests. This company kept a hefty deposit (nearly $700) despite rendering NO SERVICES, not even a makeup trial. Her "business manager" originally told brides that deposits were non-transferrable to a new date which they later denied and said that 50% of the deposit would be transferrable but that brides would have to pay another deposit for the remaining deposit if rescheduling to a 2021 date all while claiming they were not charging any "new fees" on IG and that they felt terribly for brides working with vendors who were. Meanwhile all other vendors I'm working with in the area have transferred 100% of deposits to new 2021 dates. I recognize that things are tough financially for small businesses at this time but brides aren't asking for refunds, just for transferrable deposits.
TLDR; kept my nearly $700 deposit despite no services rendered during global pandemic crisis. -
