    Life Experiences Outside of a Wedding

    I had an unique experience with Mickie as my elopement hair & makeup artist, as we never actually met for the event. A sad string of events occurred in my life that prevented me from marrying my now ex-fiance months before our elopement date. After discovering my ex-fiance's infidelity, and after months of unproductive counseling, as well as ongoing emotional & psychological abuse, I realized I needed to exit the relationship as quickly as possible and cancel the elopement in the process. Mickie was so graceful, kind and patient with me as I managed my personal life over several weeks to handle the situation. She was there for me during a period of immense grief, communicated professionally and made sure I knew what I needed to do to cancel our contract in a timely manner. Mickie took great care for me and lifted me up during one of the most difficult experiences I've endured in my life. I hope maybe one day I can have a 're-do' and the opportunity to meet Mickie in person! Thank you, Mickie, for all that you do!! I'm grateful for you!! 🙏🙏🙏

    Mickie was a dream

    I highly recommend Mickie for wedding makeup and hair services. She is incredibly talented and professional, and made sure that I and my daughters/bridesmaids looked and felt our best on our wedding day. Mickie has boundless energy and a great sense of humor, even at 6 AM! She made the whole process fun and enjoyable, and was just the best start to my wedding day.. She took the time to listen to our vision and then created a look that was perfect for each of us. Anthony, her husband, did an amazing job keeping everything on track - they are incredible team. We all received compliments on our hairstyles throughout the day and would definitely recommend Mickie for any special event.

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you Alison! You honor us with your review and for the privilege of being there for you on such an occasion. You, your daughters and Mothers were completely lovely to share the morning with. Thank you for trusting in our professional ability. We wish you all things wonderful! -Mickie & Anthony

    Hire Mickie!!

    Mickie made the whole hair and make up process efficient and smooth. I felt very comfortable the whole time. Mickie and her husband were nice and friendly. The set up is impressive. Very organized and neat. They are very well equipped, I must say.

    I felt happy with the outcome and it is what I was really expecting for her to deliver based on the samples I showed her. I did not do a trial as we were coming from SoCal and did not have time. I had a gut feeling that I could trust her. All I wanted was to look as natural as possible and she did it.

    It was important for me to have beauty service done as I dont know if I could do it on my own. I want to look natural but also "special" as this is a special day for me and my partner, now my husband. 

    I chose Mickie because her works are well done and I found tons of good reviews about her online. We were staying in a secluded area in Mariposa and I wanted someone who lives and know the area very well. I also read a review about her not canceling on an appointment. The mountains can be tricky and the weather can be unpredictable at times so this is important to me (Unless we have a very very very bad weather condition, I wouldnt force that either).

    I would definitely recommend Mickie to anyone who is getting married around Yosemite area and beyond. Both her and her husband worked very well. Spend the extra money on someone you know you can rely on. I might just found her online but her expertise (evident in her social media) and confidence made me book her. I am very happy with her service!

    Thank you so much Mickie and Anthony! I was happy with my look! My family and friends loved it as well. I received and still receiving compliments about the look!

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Hi Sandra!
    I LOVED your bridal look so much! The makeup colors and hair design that you chose was perfection and so much fun to complete on you!
    THANK YOU for your thoughtful review and up-close look at the Yosemite bridal beauty services that we provide each client!
    You made a beautiful BEAUTIFUL bride! We are so honored to have been your artist.
    ...and they lived happily ever after.

    Yosemite Hair/Makeup

    Mickie and Anthony were a dream team on my wedding day! They showed up dark and early @ 1am, perfectly on time to start my day for my Yosemite sunrise elopement. After introduction Mickie sat me down to go over my “bridal look” one final time while Anthony set up the hair/makeup station. We proceeded with hair/makeup application and at the end Mickie made sure there was nothing at all that I’d change about my wedding look, before leaving she helped me get into my dress and actually got to witness our “first look” when the photographer arrived. She was so sweet and invested in my special day it was awesome! Not having family at our elopement was a choice we decided to make however, it was nice having someone be excited throughout the whole process with me while getting ready! Makeup and hair stayed beautiful all day long (even through a nap I took middle of the afternoon!). My hair typically doesn’t hold curls/shape very well due to the natural straight hair I have and the curls stayed all day, my own mother thought I had extensions in with how good and full my hair looked…but I didn’t! Mickie did an amazing job with helping me relax and be in love on my wedding day! The whole process start to finish was absolutely perfect and I’m very glad I went with Mickie for my hair/makeup on my special day! Definitely recommend Mickie, her professionalism and her talent! Thank you so much Mickie!

    (disclaimer: I only have preview photos and most are farther away photos! I’ll update with closer up photos when I get them!)

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    "A dream team" and the feeling is mutual! We LOVED being a special addition to your Yosemite Elopement! Elopements are very dear to me, because as you've stated, so many times I'm the only one there to help brides get dressed and ready. It truly means so much to me. THANK YOU for putting your trust in me.
    ...and they lived happily ever after.

    Best of the Best!

    I was truly blown away at the incredible artistry Mickie demonstrated on my wedding day. At 4:30am on the dot, Mickie was at my door, ready to go. Her kind and warm hearted manner instantly put my wedding day nerves at ease. She carefully reviewed the entire plan and answered all my questions. Mickie is incredibly reliable and you can count on her to show up for you exactly when she said she would. Her skill in both hair and make-up is really outstanding. I had a very specific look for my hair in mind and she actually made it look even better than my highest hopes. When I looked back at wedding photos, I actually couldn’t believe I looked as good as I did. She went above and beyond and made me feel so incredibly beautiful on such an important day. When it came to make-up, I wasn’t too sure what I even wanted because I don’t typically wear any make-up at all. Mickie did a very natural look which came out incredibly beautiful in all the photos. She was also patient with me as I changed my mind on the eye color at the last minute. Mickie’s primary concern was that I loved the way I looked and I certainly did. I recommend her highly for your hair and make-up needs. The photos of my wedding are so precious to me and thanks to Mickie’s skill and expertise, I looked better than I thought humanly possible. Thank you Mickie! You are a true artist and a bride’s dream stylist.

    The Go-To Makeup Professional

    If you’re eloping in Yosemite or the surrounding area, Mickie is your go to person. Being from out of town – the most stressful was finding someone to assist with hair and makeup unseen. I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to book a hair trial as soon as you arrive. Mickie was great! She was open to my wife’s ideas and had very open communication on what style she wanted for the wedding. Mickie was very prompt with arrival time, never late and was extremely professional. She appreciated that all the brushes were new and sterilized before any session. Mickie explained the entire makeup process to ensure all parties were well informed and also did not cut any corners with the makeup product. She enhanced all of the best features.

    We appreciated that Mickie stayed during the hair trial session to ensure that everyone was satisfied. We would recommend just for ease of mind to do a trial session.

    There is also the option to do the grooms touch up – I would highly recommend that. It is very nice to have two even brows for the photos. We also appreciated that after the makeup she provided us with touch-up make up that would last for the rest of the day if we needed it.

    As for the hair – because we would be hiking, Mickie made sure that the hair would last for all photos starting from 6AM to the final photos at 6PM.

    It’s very nice that Mickie came on site to our accommodations as it helped us with our early morning schedule. You get what you pay for, and we would definitely recommend Mickie for any services.

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Jeff!! Thank you for your review, it touched my heart to receive a review from the Groom! Being a special part of your wedding was an absolute joy for us! AND I've seen some of your professional photos from that day...AMAZING! It was my pleasure!

    Hire her now!!

    I found Mickie when researching hair and make up artists for my Yosemite elopement, and let me tell you SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Having skin of color, I was so nervous that my foundation would not match or my overall look would not be as natural as I wanted. Mickie took my inspirational photos and absolutely KILLED IT. She and her husband make an excellent, professional, and kind team. They made the morning of my wedding unforgettable. She comes in with a full kit and set up and I was so impressed with the variety of product she owns. My make up lasted ALL DAY without moving or melting off- and we hiked all day in the beating sun. I could not be more impressed at Mickie's work and service. Spend the extra $$$, you will not be disappointed- she knows what she is doing!! THANK YOU MICKIE, for making me look and feel like a princess on our special day.

    Would not use any other makeup service!

    Mickie and her husband Anthony delivered the best service I could ever imagine. They were able to accommodate my fiancé and I, at last second, for our engagement shoot in the Yosemite area. Mickie is a professional: she’s top notch at her craft and she was so kind and patient with me during the entire process and was able to make me feel so calm and cared for. I am what I call “make up dumb” and normally don’t do any makeup save eyeshadow and mascara on special occasions. I left the makeup and hair styling completely up to her, and I could not have been more pleased with the end result. Mickie truly has an eye for this, and she is so passionate and knowledgeable, teaching me along the way. Mickie was so much fun to be around and I honestly could not imagine using any other makeup service after being with her! Anthony was so helpful, and they work extremely well together as a team. He even went out with my fiancé to get breakfast for us ladies while we were busy. I’m extremely excited for my wedding and having these two there with me to make it a success.

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Hi Ana! Thank you for such a well painted picture of our custom, destination based beauty services! I was excited to be there for your Engagement photo shoot in Yosemite and I'm honored to compliment your Wedding day in 2020!
    I'm here for you as needed,

    Above & Beyond - truly the best!

    Mickie is a wonderful asset to any bride’s special wedding day. Mickie performed services for myself as mother of the groom, along with the beautiful bride, her mother, and the girls in the wedding party.

    The bride did a trial session and Mickie walked her through creating the perfect look. Mickie provided great recommendations and suggestions to the bride on what will photograph well with the lighting that will be available. I highly recommend a trial session.

    Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the wedding had to be rescheduled twice. Throughout this whole process over 2 years, Mickie was in contact with the bride providing support and reassurance. The bride and I were having issues with maskne; however, Mickie was able to provide coverage and you couldn’t even tell maskne has been a concern in the professional photos that were taken.

    Not only do you receive the services of Mickie, but her wonderful husband and assistant, Anthony, who is there the day of the wedding to also help make the process smooth. They are a fantastic team!

    Mickie is also knowledgable with other vendors in the Yosemite area and she was able to refer the bride and groom to a business that provided the beautiful cake and gorgeous floral arrangements for the wedding.

    I highly recommend you book M by Mickie for your wedding! You won’t be disappointed and you will receive a level of service above and beyond what you will receive with other makeup artists. Mickie truly cares about her clients. Thank you, Mickie!

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you Jennifer for your review. Anthony and I both loved being a special part of your sons wedding day! The entire bridal party was absolutely lovely to work with. We were so thrilled to see such happy faces with our services.

    Mickie absolutely nailed it!

    Mickie did my makeup and hair (and my groom’s hair!) for our recent elopement in Yosemite. She was a dream to work with. I’m fairly far from the Mariposa county area, so we skipped a trial and worked from notes about what the day entailed, my own preferences, and sharing reference photos. From all of that, Mickie sent me back her vision for the look — sounded solid — and on the day of, we rolled with it!

    And wow, did she execute that vision beautifully. My hair did things I didn’t even know were possible, and it looked effortless, held together by magic, haha. Seriously, it held up through rock scrambling and wind. And so did the makeup! Mickie’s kit is filled to the brim with high-end products; she basically brings a Sephora to you and then some. (And bless Anthony, her husband and assistant, for keeping everything so clean and organized!)

    Aside from her talent, I really appreciated Mickie’s energy throughout the entire process. She is so warm and caring. I adored all of her stories and she really helped set the tone for what turned out to be a truly wonderful day.

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Hi Edelita! We had such a fun morning with you both! My heart was so full and happy with what we created for you, a soft romantic updo and beautiful makeup that lasted - excellent! You were a vision, a timeless bride and you have those amazing photos to always look back on! Thank you for taking the time to honor me with your review. Forever my best to you both - Mickie

    Mickie is amazing!!

    Mickie was AMAZING!!!!! I traveled from OK to get married in Yosemite pretty last minute with just maybe a month notice, and I was worried about not getting to have a trial run with someone before the big day but from the first email with Mickie she was very attentive and professional. She knew exactly what I wanted and NAILED it! I have never felt so pretty! I was going to do my hair and makeup myself to save money but I am SO GLAD I decided to make it a priority and so happy I chose Mickie. I can’t explain how much a difference it made in pictures. She calmed my nerves the day of. She was sweet and truly has a gift of making someone feel like the most important person in the world. I instantly felt like she was a friend who really cared about my day. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND! I talked about how sweet she was to me the whole entire wedding day because it meant so much to me! I can’t say enough good things about her. Book her now!! You will not regret it!!

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Hi Haley! Reading your words really just touched my heart! What you described is exactly the special attention I aim to provide to each and every client. I'm so happy that you were so happy! Thank you so much for your review of my on location makeup and hair bridal beauty services in Yosemite!
    P.S. Your pro wedding photos are so beautiful! If you feel comfortable please post one here with your review!

    My makeup trial with Mickie was such a great experience, and I look forward to my big day knowing that Mickie will be there! From the day I booked with her, spent time talking to her on the phone, and watched her youtube videos- I felt like so comfortable with her. She is such a warm friendly person that really listens to what you want for your wedding day and will talk through every little detail with you to make sure you are happy. Mickie and her husband Anthony make such a great team- the set up and photos and everything went so smoothly and I couldn't be happier that I will be seeing them again for my wedding!

    Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design's reply:

    Thank you Holly, for not just leaving us one review but two! One for your Trial Session day and the other for your Wedding Day! You're an amazing person in every way, so kind, so thoughtful, so generous with your time to write two reviews! My assistant (wink) even commented on what an incredible person you are and I have to fully agree! You made a beautiful bride ...but that's easy to do when you're such a beautiful person! Thank you so much for your reviews of our beauty services!

    Mickie did a wonderful job on my hair & makeup for my wedding day, I felt so beautiful! Not only did she do my full glam, but 7 other ladies in the bridal party as well! What a marathon day of hair & makeup, but she successfully made each of us look and feel so beautiful! She is so talented with tailoring makeup/looks to each individual and making them look their very best. The whole process of booking, makeup trial, planning, payment with Mickie was so easy- this was the easiest part of wedding planning! And the most fun! Thank you Mickie!

    Holly, you are such a thoughtful bride! Thank you for such a shining review of not only our beauty services but of how we operate. I'm still in awe of the fact that you sent me an email the morning after your wedding day, just to thank me! You were a pure joy Holly! Congratulations!!

    WOW! Where do I even start with Mickie? First of all, she knows her stuff. A sign of a fantastic artist is the ability to adjust his or her skills to fit the exact needs of the client, even when the client is not quite sure what they want in the first place! I noticed this right away when Mickie came to my future mother-in-law’s house for a bridal makeup and hair trial. Right from the start she and her wonderful husband-assistant, Anthony, not only worked with professionalism and finesse, but they also made us feel as though they were old friends. Mickie listened to what I was looking for, made helpful suggestions, and even went with some of my crazy ideas for a look that had been floating around in my head for the past year. This carried over into the wedding day, where Mickie made adjustments to my look and added so much fun, joy, and positivity to the dynamic of the bridal party. We could not have been more relaxed or excited for the evening. So thank you, THANK YOU, Mickie and Anthony for giving us so many memories for our wedding day- we all felt confident and absolutely gorgeous!

    Mickie was a pleasure to work with. Having her do my make up for my wedding was one of the best and first decisions I made while wedding planning. Hair and Makeup was one thing I knew I was not going to want to worry about on my wedding day. I did tons of research, read reviews, looked through online portfolios/social media, and watched YouTube videos.

    I contacted Mickie and within a couple hours we were on the phone getting to know one another. I knew right then I met my beauty consultant for my big day.

    I scheduled a makeup trial, which I highly recommend if possible; especially if you are not accustomed to wearing makeup because it allows you to see what you may or may not like and adjust as needed before your big day.

    Mickie has a great talent and passion for what she does. Her personality and kindness kept me calm and collected the entire morning of my wedding day. She has got an amazing system with her Husband and “Helpmate” Anthony. Setup, cleanup, and breakdown took little to no time allowing Mickie to focus entirely on me. I love how they were able to document my hair and makeup for the trial run and wedding day as my before, during and after. Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!

    Just like Mickey Mouse says, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Boy! Oh boy! did Mickie make my dream a reality. I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day.

    The fun and laughter of our wedding day started the instant Mickie and her lovely assistant, Anthony, walked through the front door. Booking M by Mickie to do the hair and make-up for our wedding in Yosemite is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We came all the way from Australia and even though we’d been communicating via email for months, I didn’t get to meet Mickie until the wedding day so there was no time for a trial make-up session.

    Mickie exceeded my expectations by a mile. My maid of honour and I were so thrilled with the look she created for us. When she finished, Mickie took the time to check every aspect of our make-up with us – eyes, brows, cheeks, lips – to make sure that we were absolutely happy with all of it before she started packing up. She brought the most sophisticated and professional set up, complete with portable lighting. The whole outfit was so impressive and, best of all, Mickie had the skills to match.

    Aside from our fabulous hair and make-up, Mickie was an absolute delight to be around. She is warm and friendly and makes you feel relaxed instantly. She’s an excellent communicator, so professional and just a beautiful person. I simply cannot thank Mickie enough for being such an amazing part of our day. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Dani! Your wedding morning was so exciting and fun, we had the best time! I honestly didn't want it to end...but after all, you had to go get married LOL! You were on my books for almost a year! And it was a wonderful year of emails and getting to know you. I looked forward to your wedding day for so long...that when your wedding day came and gone, I missed you! I'm so glad that we have kept in touch via Instagram, I love seeing the both of you and your married life back home in Austrailia! Thank you for your review of my beauty services! Cheers!

    I just had my hair and makeup trial with Mickie a few days ago. What a great experience! Let me tell you, I'm not really one to do well with getting really done up and not feeling (and looking!) like myself. But Mickie put me right at ease. First of all she had me provide her with hair and makeup looks that I liked and then she took the time to ask me about what I liked about the looks. She really listened to what I did and did not want and created a really lovely look for my upcoming wedding. The makeup application was beautiful. I feel like she was really able to accentuate my best features. She took time figuring out my thin, fine hair and was really able to get some body in there and make something beautiful and fun happen! Also, Mickie just has a really fun and welcoming personality which made me feel really comfortable. The worst part of the trial was at the end when I had to take my hair down and wash all that makeup off!

    Also, my mom was present at the trial and is planning to have Mickie do her makeup on the wedding day. My mom can be a little...difficult, particular, blunt. Mickie handled her like a pro and took time to explain to her her makeup process and listened to my mom's concerns for the wedding day. After Mickie left my mom said "she was great!". Nice job Mickie! She's not an easy lady to win over :)

    I have nothing but great things to say about Mickie and her husband Anthony, who assists Mickie. I have gone through hair and makeup two times with Mickie. First for my epic pre-wedding photoshoot (May 2017) and the second for my actual wedding (Sept 2017). Mickie is not only a trained artist (she was trained in LA doing celebrity makeup), but she is also very professional, understanding, and definitely will put the client's needs and desires first. She takes tremendous pride in her work and it's very important for her that the customer is happy with their looks after the session. Both times, my hair was perfect and my makeup was flawless. She knew when to apply heavier makeup (photoshoot day), and when to give me a more natural look (wedding day). She is excellent at color matching makeup against your natural tones, and she uses very high quality products on both makeup and hair styling. I was pleasantly stunned to see the outcome, she is a very talented artist!

    I would recommend Mickie if you are looking for quality, highest levels of professionalism, and a stunning outcome. She will not disappoint! I look forward to working with Mickie again and will definitely recommend her to my friends.

    Mickie was not only on time but 10 mins early! I wanted to look outstanding for Prom. I wanted to feel and look beautiful for once and that is exactly what was achieved and much more all thanks to Mickie she is such a sweetheart and so professional.

    We chose Yosemite Park as a destination wedding location and I was torn about what to do about my make-up. We kept the wedding small and intimate and part of me wanted to just do my own make-up, but my step-sister (and Maid-of-Honor) chastised me: “You say you don't care now, but if you don’t like your pictures, then you won't like looking at them for the rest of your life.” She was right – I was spending a lot of money on our photographer so I agreed to have her locate a make-up artist for our big day.

    She found M by Mickie because her fees seemed reasonable (some others local artists were outrageous!) and I had no idea what to expect since there was no way I could fly across the country to meet Mickie before my big day.

    But Mickie was fabulous! She was pleasant, cheerful, and very talented. She made me feel comfortable and the love she has for her job was immediately evident. She isn't doing this solely to make a living, but because she genuinely enjoys doing it.

    She did a wonderful job on my make-up and it lasted the entire day, through our morning ceremony and evening reception. I also learned the joys of false lashes and other make-up tips from her.

    I’d received so many compliments from strangers on the day of, telling me how beautiful I looked, and the photos all turned out amazing! I look like a model in them!

    I would highly recommend M by Mickie for wedding make-up, but I can see how she can translate her skills to any type of make-up work.

    Thanks again, Mickie, for helping make our big day flawless!

    Mickie did a lovely job on my hair and makeup for my wedding last year. She is very easy to work with and very professional. Mickie knew what would look good on camera, and my makeup lasted all day. I would confidently recommend Mickie for anyone's special occasion or photo session.
