    Beautiful!!!

    We had to find a new hair/makeup vendor a month before the wedding and it was so stressful. Pink Palette was available, responsive, and was so helpful! They did such a fantastic job for my ladies and me- I felt gorgeous!! :)

    The best Wedding Make up!

    My sister used Pink's Pallet 8 years ago for her wedding and I loved how my make up was done. I always knew that I would ask them to do mine when I got married. They didn't disappoint. I loved the make up so did my bridal party. Debbie and her team are the best for natural looking make up. It wasn't heavy at all and I felt I looked like myself. Perfect for Weddings!

    Made my day complete!

    Debbie and her team are incredibly on top of it and they can work with ANYONE. From scheduling my bridal session on a random Weds morning to communication throughout the ~13 months we were planning to being on time & efficient on the big day, I cannot recommend them enough! They were a FUN part of getting ready and my girls + the moms absolutely raved about them. My favorite part was how flawlessly they worked with each person's skin tone/texture, preferences, and my/bride's preferences. I had no worries going into the day and I want every bride to feel that way!

    Very Professional, great service!

    My wedding reception was at 11 am in the morning. So the team from Pink Palette was at my house at 4:45 am, and they didn't charge me an arm and a leg!
    The girls were in great spirits, even for being up so early. All my bridesmaids looked and felt great, and we all got done in time. I am very happy with my choice.

    Love PinkPalette!

    Debbie and her team are amazing. I was a bridesmaid in two of my friends’ weddings and they both had Pink Palette for all the girls’ hair and make up. They were able to execute the style and inspiration each bride wanted so of course I had to have them for my wedding as well! The team works with you to understand what look you’re going for and what’s the best fit for you. Even for my mom who never wears any make up, Debbie created a natural look and made sure my mom was happy with it. I had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony in the early morning where I needed a low bun for my hair accessories and then wanted to let my hair down into curls for the evening reception. Luna was able to magically make a beautiful bun that unpinned to awesome curls that lasted all night.

    They made me feel like the most beautiful bride

    Debbie + Laura from Pink Palette Artists were amazing. Not only did they make me feel incredibly beautiful, but they were great listeners and super flexible with my hair trial!

    I was an out of town bride who, due to COVID, planned my entire wedding from New England. Because I wasn’t able to travel to Houston ahead of our wedding, Debbie was incredibly flexible and ensured I had a hair and make up trial before the big day. They were able to find time in the small window that we were in Houston before our wedding to make sure that we could squeeze in both trials so that I was happy on the actual day.

    Debbie and Laura were wonderful - both in their fun personalities which made sitting for a couple hours go by in a flash, but also because they listened. I, as well as my sisters + mother, do not wear much makeup and are very natural in our approach to makeup. Typically when we have all had our makeup done, we feel out of place and not ourselves, because we’ve had other artists go way too heavy on the make up. Debbie heard everything we said and used her magic to give us exactly what we wanted. It took all I had not to tear up and ruin the makeup once I was able to see the finished product! Laura was also fabulous in her approach to our hair, again perfectly listening to what we were looking for (and what we weren’t) and executed flawlessly. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on that day and it is largely in part to both of them!

    Thank you Debbie + Laura!

    They will make you feel so beautiful!

    Pink Palette did an absolutely fantastic job with hair and makeup for our wedding! Being of Asian descent with one eye that's monolidded and one eye with a double lid, finding the right makeup artist who knew how to work with that was extremely important to me. 
    I went to Debbie for my makeup trial on the day of our engagement shoot, and I was so impressed with her experience and skill. She specifically tailored what products she used and how exactly she applied the makeup to not only that day's weather, but to our photographer's style! I also did a hair trial with Souki and added on a separate hair cut at that time to help make sure everything was wedding-ready, and everything was fantastic.

    On wedding day, both Debbie and Souki were so fabulous to work with. We had a short time period to get everybody ready, but they were so efficient and knocked everything out with ease. They were so patient with all the chaos happening and were gracious enough to squeeze in last minute add-ons and touch ups even for girls who didn't have services with them. Not only did the hair and makeup look great, they both also held up beautifully through the night, even through multiple rounds of tears and an evening full of dancing! I highly recommend Pink Palette and will definitely go back to them myself if I ever need to get glam again!

    Amazing experience!

    Not only did they make me feel beautiful and confident for my engagement photos, bridal portrait session, and wedding day, but Debbie and her team are professional, responsive, flexible, and just amazing to work with! Being a COVID bride and having to reschedule my wedding multiple times was difficult, but this team always made it work. Linda and Rachel were my dream team for my all-day, multicultural wedding, and were able to achieve two completely different wedding looks all in one day! I could not have asked for anything more. Highly recommend!

    Look no further!!

    Deb and Luna were fabulous fabulous fabulous! Would never hire anyone else. They did my make up and hair twice, as we split our wedding events over two days. They did the make up and hair of my family as well for the ceremony day. Everyone looked beautiful! The hair and makeup was flawless and lasted well beyond the events of both evenings!

    We had a blast!! We love you and your wedding party!! Thank you again for having us. Congrats again!

    Love their attention to detail and relatability

    I had a great experience working with Debbie and the hair stylist she brought. They were both so professional on my wedding day and came early. I did not experience any stress due to them, and it was FUN getting ready with them. In comparison to other vendors, I felt like they really listened to how I felt and most importantly, they cared a lot about making sure we were happy with how we looked. I think this matters a lot- my mom is tough to please but they achieved it, and she was beaming after they did her makeup. That was priceless! I used my trial for my bridal shoot, and I was really impressed with how Debbie looked at my photographer’s work before deciding how saturated my makeup needed to be so that it would look more editorial. It came out great, and for the wedding day, she softened everything up and I felt so bridal! I was thrilled that they were able to place clip-in extensions in my hair flawlessly and enhance my Asian eyes to look their best. My makeup lasted all night, even the eyeliner! In summary, everyone at Pink Palette is really experienced and have worked with so many different clients. I think you will be happy with the results if you like soft and pretty makeup that magically looks natural and polished, all at the same time!

    a professional, talented, and kind team of artists!

    PPA did such a great job on me, my bridesmaids, and my mom! We had 7 girls total, all getting hair and makeup done. Linda and Laura showed up on time, worked effortlessly, and finished within our set timeline. I didn't love my hair and makeup from my trial session, but not due to a lack of skill on the artists' part. It was a good test run and allowed me to refine what I wanted, which I think is the exact purpose of the trial. On the day of, I gave Linda and Laura feedback and they listened and executed perfectly!!!! I loved my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids and mom looked soo beautiful :)) Highly recommend Pink Palette!

    Amazing Team!

    This team did such an amazing job for my brother's wedding I decided to hire them for mine. Once again they did NOT disappoint! We had 9 girls get both hair and makeup done and they got us all done in a timely manner. From the beginning of the planning process with Debbie, she was so patient with me and helped me get everyone organized! I would highly recommend pink pallette!

    Hands down - the best team

    I don't think there are enough words to express how much I LOVE working with Debbie and her team!

    Debbie - She has done countless wedding guest makeup looks for me as well as my own wedding. I felt like a million bucks all day with no makeup issues at all. I cried more often than I'd like to admit and my makeup remained flawless. I started at 8:00am and went till midnight with no makeup flaws. I've been going to Debbie for many years now and will ( with no hesitation ) continue going to her.

    Luna - She really listens to your requests on your hair and works so quick! She did quite a few wedding day trials for me ( I'm indecisive ) and when it came down to it, I asked her to just work her magic with not much of my input. My hair turned out so beautifully and although it was SO windy on my wedding day, my hair didn't fall or budge. Let her do her thang and she won't let you down!

    Souki - She worked on my in law's hair for the day which looked absolutely flawless. She really listened to their requests and gave them all classic and beautiful looks. She also squeezed in time for the nieces which we didn't book for! She really worked with them which is highly appreciated.

    Linda - She worked on a few of my in law's makeup which was beautiful as well! They requested a natural and flawless look which showed throughout the day as well as photos. Everyone glowed with that natural enhanced beauty they were born with.

    The entire team has always shown me real love and honesty thru the years. I'm finally writing a review because of how hard the hustled for me, my bridesmaids, inlaws, all events leading up to the big day, as well as the BIG DAY. I'll forever recommend these girls not just for their abilities in makeup and hair but because of their big hearts. It's hard to find people who are good AND who do good work. Usually you have to sacrifice one to get the other which is totally not the case with this team.

    Pink Palette Artists's reply:

    We love you!!! Thank you so much! This means the world to us!!! Thank you for everything!! You are and will be our forever client!

    Beautiful Results

    Pink Palette was great! All communication was done via email and it was super easy to ask questions. Debbie always got back to me quickly. I requested a trial for my engagement photos and was able to go to their storefront off of 290 to have this done during the week. Paola did my airbrush makeup and Laura did my hair. Both asked what I was going for, and after a brief discussion went to work. It took about an hour for them both to finish, and it was exactly what I had wanted. They both took pictures so that they could reference them later and easily redo what they did.
    Both Paola and Laura traveled out to Richmond for my engagement photos and were able to recreate exactly what they did at my trial.
    Paola did the makeup for my four bridesmaids, my flower girl, my mom (mother of the bride), and myself on my wedding day. Again, she drove out to the hotel in Richmond where we were getting ready. She got there bright and early and was done with everyone before it was our time to leave. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous. We couldn’t have asked for better!

    Pink Palette Artists were AMAZING! Debbie and her whole crew arrived early, were ready to rock and roll and finished 10 bridesmaids and other family members with plenty of time to spare! They were so much fun and energetic! I would highly recommend booking for your wedding!

    For my wedding this past July, I had an early morning tea ceremony. Prior to booking Pink Palette Artists (PPA) for my wedding, I researched a lot of vendors for hair and makeup. The team at PPA were the only company I was able to find that was willing to come out early at 4:45AM to do hair and make-up for me, my five bridesmaids, and my mom (total: 7 people!). I had a bridal hair and makeup trial prior to my wedding day. On the day of my wedding, the PPA team arrived early and finished all of our hair and make-up early as well. Linda, Robin, Rachel, and Laura were great. Our hair and makeup looked AMAZING! We ALL got compliments throughout the whole day. Not sure if this is typical, but my hair and makeup literally lasted from when Linda (makeup artist) and Rachel (hairstylist) finished around 6:30AM until 12AM when my reception ended. I am so thankful for Pink Palette Artists for taking the time to come out so early, especially when I am sure all of them had to wake up earlier than that to take care of their families. I am so grateful for the work that these ladies do. They are so professional and are totally worth it!

    Debbie and her team did my makeup and hair for my mother, groom mother, me and even the groom! We look fabulous on our wedding day thanks to them! She did many trials to make sure we narrow down the look I want. They are very passionate and I would book them again for other events! Thanks so much!

    It was such an honor to work with Debbie, Robin, and Danielle. Thank you so much for making me, my bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-laws feel and look absolutely gorgeous! My makeup never felt heavy or greasy and lasted the entire night! My hair – the same! It was still perfectly in place and never felt like it bothered me. Robin and Danielle are professionals and knew exactly how to enhance everyone’s beauty. Thank you for making us look and feel like royalty!

    My sister works in event planning and recommended Debbie at Pink Palette to me. I reached out and Debbie was so responsive and really helpful. I lived abroad and Debbie was really accommodating of the time that I would be in town and setting up a trial for me. At the makeup trial, she took the time to get to know me and was so personable. Even though it was our first time meeting, she made me feel really comfortable and it was like just hanging out with one of your girlfriends :) She really listened to what I wanted and we were all really happy with our make-up on the wedding day. My bridesmaids and I looked beautiful and amazing and our makeup lasted all day. I didn't even have to think about it or worry about it. It felt good and comfortable, even the lashes. We all looked so good in our photos too! Our wedding was in Austin and it was a daytime wedding so Debbie had to travel the day before AND also show up at our airbnb super, super early in the morning...like before the sun was out and not to mention, it was freezing that day in December. She arrived on time, was super professional and got straight to setting up her things and sticking to the schedule. She talked to all the girls during their makeup and I could tell she just really loves what she is doing! You won't feel like just another client for sure. She makes everyone feel comfortable and special and she's just super sweet.

    After I got done with my makeup, I was getting some pictures before we left for the venue and being the emotional person I am, tears started rolling down my face before the makeup had time to set. I'm so glad Debbie was still there and she came to my rescue and touched things up for me. She's amazing and while we only got makeup done, I know from the time I spent with her that their whole team,both hair and makeup, are top quality and that everyone at Pink Palette is as great as Debbie and love what they do. Thank you, Debbie!!

    Pink Palette was amazing! They did such an amazing and timely job doing hair and makeup for all bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and the bride. My hair is very fine and soft so I struggle with having up-dos that stay put. My hair didn't move at all throughout the entire day. I would highly recommend!

    Danielle and Flor were amazing. I didn't do a trial because I live out of the country and was a little worried makeup would be too overdone or not exactly what I wanted (more natural boho look). Both stylists listened very well to what we all wanted and we all looked and felt beautiful! The airbrush was perfect and I didn't touch my makeup at all the whole night, which was so nice not to have to worry about it! Got so many compliments on my hair and make up and it lasted throughout 90 degree houston heat! Highly recommend PPA!

    I got married this past Saturday, July 29th and this was an easy pick for me, as one of closest friends got married two years ago and booked with Pink Palette Artists. I knew then that they would also be my pick for my wedding, as they were so easy to work with and their hair and makeup lasted all day! Working with Debbie was such a smooth and painless process - she is very personable and was always available to answer my endless questions/inquiries. She took the time to get to know me and always spoke/interacted with me, as if I was the center of attention - knowing how busy they get, she made you feel like you were her only client. I never felt like I was just “another” customer - you can tell that she has passion for what she does and customer service was top on her list. During our wedding day, her team was so upbeat, personable and friendly - everything you needed to ensure that we had a great time during our “getting ready” process. In addition, our photoshoot in the afternoon required us to be outdoors in 100 degrees weather and believe it or not, our makeup was still flawless! Even with the sweat, the makeup did not smear nor did we have to reapply for the evening reception. As a bride, you have to invest in your hair and makeup and also be open to trusting your vendor - Pink Palette is very reputable and pulled through both for my engagement sessions and my wedding day!

    Pink Palette Artists's reply:

    Jenny this is such a touching review and the best compliment you could give us. Thank you so much for having us a part of your biggest day! You and your party were so amazing to work with. Thank you for taking the time to write this and recognizing how much we love what we do. I know there are many vendors to choose from so being that you chose us is such a big honor. Debbie
