    A Flawless Experience

    I recently had the pleasure of working with the talented makeup artist Pam and her team Cyndi and Claire for my wedding, and I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was. Pam and her team were not only punctual but also meticulously organized, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for everyone involved. They took the time to listen to each person's unique requests and preferences, and it was apparent that they genuinely cared about making every individual feel their absolute best.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of Pam, Cyndi, and Claire's work was their ability to strike the perfect balance between enhancing our best features and ensuring we didn't look overdone. The result was a natural and flawless look that left everyone feeling confident and beautiful throughout the day. The compliments on our hair and makeup were endless, and I have never received so many positive remarks. Pam and her team’s talent, attention to detail, and passion for their work were truly evident in the stunning results they achieved. Personally, I have never felt more beautiful, and I owe that feeling entirely to their expertise.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Pam and her team to anyone seeking exceptional makeup and hair services. Their professionalism, skill, and dedication to their clients make them a standout choice in the beauty industry. If you want to look and feel your absolute best on your special day, Pam and her team are the artists to trust. Thank you all for making my day unforgettable with your artistry and talent!

    Beautiful Work!!

    Pamela was wonderful - she doesn't have a minimum which is great for those brides with small wedding parties. She listens to what each person wants, takes her time and is open to suggestions. Pamela cleans brushes between clients and uses disposable items when possible so I was very comfortable with her cleanliness methods. She made me feel like a princess!!

    Definitely recommend!

    I really trusted Pam's expertise! I felt so confident going into my wedding day after our makeup trial. As someone who doesn't usually wear much makeup, I really appreciated how Pam listened to my concerns and created a look that made me feel like me. She also did an amazing job with my wedding party! Everyone looked so beautiful!

    Beautiful Makeup and Hair!

    Pam and Clare were so amazing to work with! Pam did my makeup and I looked so much better than I ever imagined! She was so easy to work with and made everyone feel super comfortable on my wedding day. Clare did my hair and she was so incredibly quick and flexible to change it based on what I wanted or my bridesmaids wanted.

    Their prices were also pretty fair and cheaper than most of the "big makeup/hair" companies here in Raleigh.

    It was so fun to work with both of them and I HIGHLY recommend working with Pam and Clare for your wedding =)

    Beauty and Perfection!

    Pam and Lovey made all my bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom and me look and feel absolutely beautiful. Pam was so sweet and accommodating. Even added my niece last minute at the wedding. We all truly felt fabulous and had such fun!! So highly recommended!!!

    Perfect in every way

    Pam was wonderful on my wedding day! She was a source of calm for me, the anxious bride, and she worked well within the happenings of our beach house on a very busy morning. I’ve had the privilege of knowing her my whole life and it was such a treat for her to lend her expertise to me on my special day.

    Thanks, Pam! You’re a true master of your profession.

    My Wedding Makeup was Perfect

    My husband and I had a small ceremony, so I was a bit nervous about spending several hundred dollars on makeup alone. However, it was 100% worth it. Not only did I look amazing, I felt like a princess getting pampered on the day of my wedding. I told her the colors I wanted and she took care of the rest. I am so pleased with Pam (and Liz) and highly recommend her services to anyone.

    Exceptional Artistic Talent and Current Techniques!

    Pam is an exceptional makeup artist! She was quick to make my thirteen bridesmaids and me feel pretty, while also being receptive to input, personalizing looks, and treating each glowing face as a work of art. She also uses current techniques. Her long-lasting airbrush makeup felt weightless and reduced oiliness, and her individual eyelash application accentuated eyes in a careful/natural way. Aside from talent, Pam was a joy to work with before, during, and after my wedding day! She was organized in setting up/finalizing bridal portrait and wedding day services.

    Saved the day!

    Pam was literally my hero on our wedding day. Our scheduled hair and makeup artist did not show up for the wedding due to a clerical error on her end, and we were terrified we would not get anyone for our very popular October wedding date while calling on the day of.

    Pam not only dropped everything and came to our rescue, but also did makeup for 7 PEOPLE in around 3-4 hours! Talk about some skill. She did a beautiful job and I am so glad we were able to have her as a part of our big day!

    Just what we needed

    Pam is great at tailoring your look to what works best for your features and preferences. After our trial run, I had a couple of tweaks, and she flawlessly accommodated to get exactly what I was going for. On the day of our wedding, she was even able to fit in an extra bridesmaid who hadn't originally signed up for makeup, which was a huge help. Great perk - she leaves you with each of your lip colors / glosses so you can continually touch up throughout the night. Would definitely recommend!

    Definitely Recommend Pam

    Pam was great to work with for the whole journey leading up to my wedding and the day of. My makeup looked great and lasted all day, even through drizzling rain and humidity! My ladies loved the makeup she did for them as well and I'd definitely recommend her to any friends looking for professional makeup.

    Covid clean, fun, friendly, professional

    We almost made the mistake of not hiring a makeup artist for the wedding! I’m so glad someone recommended OnloKtion! Pam and Lovey were on time, delightful, careful to keep their materials clean, and did an absolutely beautiful job. All the girls and especially the bride (my daughter) looked exquisite. We wouldn’t change a thing!

    OnLoKtionMakeup Artistry's reply:

    Janet
    Thank you for recognizing the difference between licensed professionals and just any other who may create the persona of being a wedding vendor professional! Especially during these times of heightened concerns.
    You, your daughter and her ladies were delightful, even with an early AM start.
    Makes our jobs just that much more enjoyable!!

    Book pam and her team - you⠹ll be so happy you did!

    Pam and her team are AMAZING!!! I literally can not recommend them enough!!! Every single bridesmaid said that this was hands down the best they’d ever felt about their wedding hair and makeup and we all received compliments all night long! Not to mention our makeup and hair still looked FLAWLESS at the way end of the night, despite the fact that we had all been dancing/sweating during an outdoor wedding in NC in JULY!! Pam was also so sweet and willing to work with us during the pandemic. She implemented special safety protocols to ensure the safety of all of the girls! Pam and her staff were all so incredibly genuine, professional and talented!! Book her for your wedding, I PROMISE you will be so happy you did!

    Pam! Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our special day, especially during such unique circumstances!!!

    Pam is amazing!

    Pam and her partner are simply FABULOUS. I was a bridesmaid in my sister-in-law's wedding and she did a phenomenal job on my make-up. She really knows how to bring out your natural features and make you look stunning, without the feeling that you're wearing any make-up at all. She even did my make-up 7.5 years ago for my own wedding, and the look she gave me then was timeless and classic. I can honestly say that both times (my own wedding as well as my SIL's wedding), I have never felt more beautiful. I always joke with my husband that I need Pam to come live with us so that she can do my make-up daily :). She really is a genius at what she does! I will continue to use her for any special event and have recommended her to countless friends for special occasions. Like me, they've all given her rave reviews! It's also important to mention that both she and partner are extremely kind and professional, which is just icing on the cake! I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Pam - she is a true artist!

    Pam was awesome!

    Pam did the make-up for me (bride) my mom and the my now mother-in-law. She was very personable and the quality of her make-up was fantastic. She also made a lot of effort to have everything single use and sanitized so we felt safe during COVID. 10/10!!

    Mother of the bride

    I would highly recommend Pamela and her staff from OnLoKtionMakeup Artistry for makeup and hair for your wedding! On my daughter’s wedding day, there were 10 women who received both services from them and we were ALL extremely pleased with the results! That is no easy feat! We had many schedule changes which they handled very smoothly. We will happily use Pamela again for any event! We were so fortunate that she was available that day. Thank you Pamela!

    Perfect makeup for wedding day!!

    I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup for my wedding day! Pam and her team were fantastic. Everyone was really happy with their overall look for the day and evening. Our hair stayed in place and makeup looked fantastic throughout. Overall I recommend Pam for any wedding or other occasion. If I had another event in Raleigh where I needed hair and makeup, I would definitely check to see if she was available. Thank you Pam!!!

    Amazing service at a competitive price

    Pam is the best! She is so kind and is very intentional with all she does and communicates while you work with her! She explains what she is doing while she is doing it, and I loved that she asked me about my normal make-up routine to use that as a baseline! Her hairstylist Morgan is also the sweetest and made sure I completely loved my hair before letting me out of the chair. They also did an AMAZING job on my bridesmaids and mom. Their prices are super competitive, and I highly recommend Pam and OnLoKion to any bride!

    Pam literally saved my wedding day!!

    When circumstances required that I find a new makeup artist only 3 weeks before my wedding, Pam was miraculously available. She took over 3 hours with my trial run, and made sure I was happy with everything we did. My wedding day was amazing! People kept saying I looked stunning and fit for a bridal magazine ☺️ Everyone who got makeup from her looked amazing. The very last guests I was chatting with at the end of the night commented on how flawless my makeup still looked after many hours, tears, and dancing. I am SO grateful to Pam for coming through for me when I was desperate and for doing such an incredible job on everyone. She was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

    OnLoKtionMakeup Artistry's reply:

    It was my pleasure to work with you Alyssa!
    My heart will always go out to a bride in need and changing my plans for my “weekend off” was a No Brainer!
    Once again, having the opportunity to Make my bride look and feel so stunning after having a prior “trial disaster” was so very rewarding for both myself and my stylist.

    Yes yes yes! X10

    We had a lot of incredible vendors for our wedding - Pam was one of our best! Morgan (hair) was top notch as well! They were both able to create exactly the look I was going for on my wedding day, and it held up all night. I was personally going for a natural look but still wanted to look special and they did a beautiful job - I even changed up some things after my trial run and they were able to execute everything perfectly. I also have a severe nut allergy and Pam was sure to read all ingredients labels which was really considerate and what I think was above and beyond. They also did hair/make up for a few other members of my bridal party and they looked great as well - she really highlighted their natural beauty. I was originally going to hire another vendor in the area with rave reviews but I had a really hard time getting in touch with them - and I'm really glad I did because that's the last thing I wanted from my wedding vendors! Pam and Morgan were both professional, positive and a calming presences throughout the entire wedding process (which is super stressful!) and on the wedding day itself. Hoping I have another big event in the triangle so I can hire her again! You won't regret it!

    Wonderful experience!

    OnLoKtion Makeup did makeup for my wedding on May 4, 2019. She accommodated me asking to book her last minute and was so professional from start to finish. I had a practice round with Pam about 2 months before, and she captured exactly what I wanted. By the time my wedding came around, I had gotten some sun and my hair was a lighter color and she still provided the same look I wanted while changing some stuff up to make it look natural! Pam and her daughter were wonderful and they did makeup for 9 bridesmaids, my mom, and myself. They made sure to touch up everyone's makeup, right on schedule. They worked with everyone provide a look they would love. I also could not have been happier with my makeup and it stayed all night long, I never added anything. Pam and her team are true artists and will be able to perform exactly the look you want! Pam even saw where I had some fabric bunched up with my dress and helped fix it before we left for the ceremony. I highly recommend booking her for your wedding or any event you want to look your best for!

    Mollie,
    Thank you for this awesome review!
    I can hardly believe that you emailed me on your HONEYMOON in Greece, with regards to writing this review! Wow..what an honor.
    Since I only have a complimentary listing on Weddingwire, I truly rely on brides such as yourself that are willing to take the time to write such a thoughtful review. Namaste 🙏🏻 Mollie!
