    Hire them!

    Shani and Erika did hair and makeup for my wedding and I cannot thank them enough for being so amazing. The experience was professional, fun and we all looked stunning. Shai did my bridal hair and makeup and I could not be more happy with the job she did. Everything stayed PERFECT for the entire night. It was an amazing experience and I'm not looking for reasons to get fancied so I can work with them again.

    Love canvas & coif!

    I am a wedding planner and venue owner so I had pretty high standards when it came to planning my wedding. Shani did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and I instantly knew I had to hire her for my wedding. She was both great in the lead up and on the day of the wedding. I had so much fun at the trial and she was always responsive in answering my questions and giving me skin and hair care tips leading up to the wedding date. On my date her and her team were great. All of my bridesmaids absolutely loved their hair and makeup, they all felt naturally gorgeous. The makeup didn't cover them up it it just made them look stunning but still like themselves! Her team also had a great calming presence which as a planner is definitely what you want the morning of your wedding. They even did some grooming on my husband and his attendants and covered up an awful sunburn he had gotten the day before. I hired her to stay on for touchups which was also so worth it as the photos etc were a whirlwind and I know I will look great and fresh in all of them haha. Thank you again for everything Shani and team!!

    Truly Brings Your Vision To Life

    Shani is a dream to work with! She is able to bring any bridal vision to life. Both her hair and makeup is flawless and truly lasts the entire day. As a wedding photographer, it's so important for brides to not only photograph well but also look amazing in person and Shani has truly mastered her craft. I highly recommend her to all of my brides!

    If I could give 10 stars, I would!

    Shani is a dream! I have a very low maintenance day-to-day make-up and hair routine (I do not wear make-up most days, and I wear my hair down or in a topknot bun everyday), so I was pretty intimidated by getting all glammed up for my wedding day. Shani made the whole process easy, seamless, and so much less intimidating than I was making it out to be! She helped take my vision for myself on my wedding day (natural-looking with little pops of color for my makeup and a loose, boho updo for my hair), and she executed the whole thing flawlessly. She also gave me a few good skincare tips during our run-through that helped me up my anti-aging game.
    On top of that, she was such a joy and an easy presence to be with on the morning of my big day. I did not want to be around someone who was easily flustered or high maintenance on such an important morning, and I think Shani was the perfect blend of comforting, professional, and fun to be around!
    Whether it's for your wedding day, your engagement photos, or another event where you need hair and makeup, I highly recommend Shani Gailbreath as your first call!!

    Excellent Quality

    Shani did an excellent job on both my hair and make-up and the hair and make-up of my bridesmaids. She was referred to me by my wedding planner. I felt that my pictures were so amazing because she took so much time and care on each person. I would recommend her very highly!

    Kelly, I decided after your wedding that we needed to be friends in real life. I can’t wait to see your cottage in the woods one day. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding.

    Shani and her girls were amazing! They were very prompt on time. They did an amazing job on my hair and make up and all of my bridesmaids, mother of groom, and mother of bride hair and make up. They were fun to be around and made me feel so comfortable with both the trial and the day of. I highly recommend Shani and her team! Thank you so much for everything you did!

    Amanda, thank you so much for your kind words. Your bridal party was so much fun to hang out with. It didn’t feel like we were at work, especially with your cute pup letting us love on him.

    Beautiful makeup, fantastic to work with!

    It was important to me on my wedding day to not only love the makeup being done by my makeup artist, but to also feel comfortable and enjoy being around this person who would be spending most of the day with me and my bridal party. Shani was fantastic to work with and completely understood my vision for my bridal makeup. She is a master of enhancing natural beauty which is exactly what my bridesmaids and I were looking for! Our makeup lasted all day (through tears and all)! I highly recommend giving Shani a call!!

    Canvas + Coif's reply:

    Hannah, thank you! I loved spending the day with you, your celebrity look alike bridesmaids, and your mom! You have a fantastic tribe.

    Shani and her team were amazing! They had the herculean task of doing hair and makeup for 16 ladies for my wedding and did an absolutely phenomenal job. They worked tirelessly for no less than 6 hours, catering to each of our personal preferences (20s inspired hair and heavy eye makeup? Done. Bohemian and natural? Done). Shani personally did my hair and makeup and I could not have been happier with the result. The team was also so fun! A fabulous addition to the day. I could not recommend Shani more.

    Oh wow! Caroline you are so kind. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your weekend!

    Shani was a fantastic makeup artist for our couple! I absolutely appreciate her fast but absolutely perfect hair and makeup work. I definitely recommend hiring her for your wedding or event!

    Shani made my natural bridal look vision come true! I was wanting a very fresh, natural look and she understood exactly what I wanted! She asked plenty of questions during our trial and really wanted to make sure that I was happy with the look. My bridesmaids loved their hairstyles that Shani gave them too! Such a wonderful decision going with Shani for hair and makeup!

    I do not have enough time to write a review that would describe the experience I had with Shani. Not only is she amazing at makeup but she makes you feel so comfortable and just happy. She makes it feel like your girlfriend is just hanging out with you doing your makeup but after you look way more amazing that if it was your friend. After the wedding I spoke with all my bridesmaids and asked them about their favorite thing... they all said their favorite part of the wedding was how amazing their cheek bones looked. She was so accommodating and thoughtful. My original hair and makeup artist told me a month before the wedding that she would not be able to help me... in comes Shani to the rescue. If I had to do my wedding over, you better bet I would be hiring her again.

    I was so lucky to have Shani as my hair and makeup artist for my solar eclipse wedding! She was so responsive and accommodating from the moment I first contacted her. She went out of her way to do a trial before the wedding day. And on the wedding day, I ended up wanting to change my hair and she was so quick to come up with another style. Everything turned out super amazing and my hair and makeup looked great all day! Love her and would recommend to anyone.

    Flawless hmua

    Shani has done my hair and makeup multiple times and each time I have come out looking flawless. I'm in awe of her skill. She doesn't hesitate, she just creates. She has taught me so much along the way so that I can do a better job with my everyday makeup! But I'll always call Shani when I need that glam. I'm a wedding planner and for my clients, she has proved her skill in working with women of color. I won't hesitate to recommend her to any and all brides.
