    Great experience!

    I truly loved my experience with Powder Me Pretty! The owner, Joanna, was incredibly communicative, helping me find the right artist for my vision and giving me updates and details along the way. I got to have Kella do my hair and makeup and she was so lovely to have with me on my wedding day! She was kind and calm, helping to add to the serene morning and truly all of our hair and makeup was gorgeous. I am a picky person and Kella listened to every idea I had helping me find the right look for my wedding day that lasted all day. This was also my first time doing airbrush and it was flawless on me, my friends, and some mature skin! I almost highly recommend a trial - It really helped me get to know the look I wanted and get to know Kella ahead of time!

    Felt like a QUEEN

    I absolutely loved working with Powder Me Pretty! Rachael was my stylist, and she did my hair and makeup as well as hair for two bridesmaids and my officiant.

    Rachael was so awesome. Laidback and funny, and so dang good at her job. I looked like the very best version of myself, and both the hair and makeup lasted all day and night in peak summer. My bridesmaids and officiant were also delighted with their hair and appreciated Rachael's willingness to work with them on less traditional looks. We all remarked that we on that day, we really looked like we had always dreamed of looking!

    In addition to being an amazing stylist, Rachael was also such a pleasure to be around. I was so happy to get to spend the morning of the wedding with her, plus our trial time in the gorgeous Powder Me Pretty studio. Such a kind, calm presence. She also sourced some glitter eyeshadow for me between my trial and the wedding to bring all my rhinestone cowgirl dreams to life.

    Would recommend 100%!!

    Amazing artists, and so much fun!

    We hired Powder me Pretty for our June 2020 wedding, which was postponed until September 2022. Joanna was wonderful to coordinate with and patient with our 3 date changes, and our artists were the BEST! We had so much fun getting ready with Brandelyn and Jessica, and every single person who had services done were very happy with both hair and makeup. Especially for wedding parties it can be such a crapshoot since you don't get trials, but these two really understood what everyone asked for, and nailed each of their looks.

    So impressed

    I was so impressed by PMP. I did a trial a few months before my wedding, and on the wedding day decided to do something completely different - it turned out beautifully & wasn't an issue at all. We even finished EARLY. So thankful for this crew!

    Bridal hair & makeup

    What a fun and special experience to get ready with my daughter and her three sisters before her mountain wedding in Asheville, NC. Joanna and her talented Powder Me Pretty crew were so fun as we spent the day being pampered. Having our makeup professionally applied and our hair beautifully styled by these ladies was such a treat! All three ladies did their magic just as requested by each of us so that we all felt comfortable and not overdone, but specially primped for such an important day.

    i felt so beautiful on my special day

    Powder Me Pretty did hair and makeup for me, my mom and my bridesmaids on my wedding day and they are incredible! We worked with Joanna and Kella for makeup and hair (respectively) and they were just amazing. I can never articulate how I want things done - I'm the person who sits down in the hairdresser's chair, pulls up a photo from Pinterest and says "I want that" - and Joanna and Kella totally read my mind! I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day - quite literally like a princess. All my bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup too, and they were so fun to have hang out with us all day. Powder Me Pretty is truly a dream team and totally crushed bringing my wedding-day-beauty-vision to life!

    THE Glam Squad for Your Wedding!

    Joanna and Brandelyn took care of me on my day. I was a nervous wreck at times because my spray tan became streaky and some things were running late. Joanna kept calm through it all and Brandelyn was as sweet as can be. My maid of honor who had her makeup professionally done in Miami for her wedding asked Joanna, “Wow! Where were you on my wedding day?!” Joanna also took care to do my grandmother’s makeup, which came out lovely. I had warned Joanna that I tend to sweat a lot, so I hired her for extra hours for touch-ups throughout the night. Joanna was like an angel, anticipating my needs, even coming out to a wet and muddy field once (which I did not ask her to do) because she knew I was about to have an important moment and that I was a little dewey with all the post-rain humidity. I think Joanna must have touched up my makeup 4 times that night. She even brought a curler to touch up my hair- something else I didn’t have to ask for. I never felt like I had to look for her, I always knew where she was and I always felt like she was there for me, really looking out for me.

    My bridesmaids and grandmother had their makeup and hair last all night. Again, I sweat a lot and the humidity didn’t help when I took photos outdoors, but Joanna was ON it!

    Throughout the planning of my wedding, with all the emails and the trials, Joanna was a professional. She answered all of my emails in a timely manner, was upfront about her fees so I never had to worry about hidden charges, was punctual, and the girl knows her stuff!!! She put just the right amount of makeup on so that it didn’t feel heavy, but it was still enough to accentuate my features and be picture ready.

    Brandelyn- I had people, the shy types that never come up to me to talk, who just had to compliment me on my hair! I should also mention I had clip-in extensions put in my hair. She did a half up-half down do. My natural hair was significantly shorter than the extensions, but Brandelyn made it all work together so nicely that it all looked like it was mine! I even contacted her for advice on what to buy, since this was my first time ever using them, and she was very helpful through texts.

    I should also say that this was a destination wedding for us, which made planning appointments and arranging payments a little more complicated with some vendors, but these girls made it all a smooth process!

    These girls do beautiful work and are so nice to work with. You won’t be sorry!

    Amazing Team

    AMAZING TEAM! Everyone with Powder Me Pretty is extremely knowledgeable and talented. It was so convenient having our hair and makeup done at the venue for myself and my bridal party. Our hair and makeup lasted all through the evening with little to no touch ups needed. I enjoyed every step of the process working with this amazing team!

    Perfection with all beauty styles

    One of the best things you can do as a bride is pick the right team and Powder Me Pretty is truly the most amazing choice for all your beauty needs as they are so easy to work with and have a range of skills for whatever you want on your big day!

    I hired Joanna and her team for my entire party which included hair and makeup for 11 women. They were extremely organized with a pre-set schedule and everything set-up and ready when we arrived. This is is a must to reduce stress on the big day!

    Joanna and her team are skilled at airbrush makeup, which none of us had ever done before, so some were nervous. After seeing how amazing we looked, everyone requested airbrushing! Each girl wanted something different and all were able to deliver flawless make-up across the entire range from natural to smoky eye to dramatic. Same with hairstyles.

    Joanna in particular did my makeup as the bride and I was blown away, I even changed my color palette/style from our test run and she was able to take my feedback live and deliver way beyond my expectations. She is truly talented, but more importantly she was a wonderful person to work with.

    Natural beauty!

    I was a very particular bride because I do not wear makeup and I have very sensitive skin. On top of this, I have Rosacea so I get very red with emotions, activities and drinking. These women were able to give me the best coverage while maintaining my natural beauty! I never felt more confident in any of my pictures. They were also able to accommodate me with the perfect amount of makeup artists and hair stylists so that we could get 10 girls done within a 4.5 hour window. Everyone in my bridal party was happy with their results! Would definitely use them again for other occasions in the area

    I worked with Joanna to set up hair and make up for my bridal party and she was wonderful. Her team arrived at our hotel at seven in the morning to get all of our hair and make up done by eleven, and everyone looked and felt great!! One of my bridesmaids has special needs and Joanne worked wonderfully with her. It was all around a fantastic experience.

    Joanna was amazing! I did a trial run to make sure I liked the airbrush and colors as I normally don’t wear much makeup. It wasn’t quite right for me but we tried again and it was absolutely PERFECT! So natural looking yet beautiful! She also did my sister in law and my brides. We were soo very pleased. We’re complimented by many.. Thank you Joanna... I would recommend her HIGHLY!!

    I booked Powder Me Pretty for my wedding on a recommendation. Jennah and Kella did the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mom and my husbands' mom. I would absolutely book them again! Joanna was super prompt and helpful answering all my questions, and everyone had a great experience. I would definitely recommend their team!

    Joanna is fantastic. She did the makeup for me, two bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law for my wedding. I opted to do a trial run before the big day. We met at her studio in Woodfin. After a brief discussion and some vague pictures/ideas, Joanna made me feel red carpet worthy. My makeup was perfect. She suggested a slightly darker lip than I had originally suggested and she was totally right, it was perfect in the photos.
    On the day she was on time, friendly, and set up quickly. We had discussed a schedule previously, and she stayed true to the timeline. I was delivered disappointing news while in the chair, immediately after she finished my eyeshadow, and I started to cry. Joanna helped catch the tears, and fixed my face without a complaint, she was very kind. She is definitely someone you want on your team.

    Joanna was so incredible to work with! I generally don't wear a ton of makeup, and I'm always wary of getting it done professionally because I usually end up feeling/looking clown-ish. But after my trial with Joanna, I knew I was in the best hands! I showed her a few pictures for reference and we discussed what I was looking for, and she nailed it! The products and techniques she uses ensure that your makeup will last all day and night. Seriously, I didn't even have to touch up my lip color once! For someone that doesn't think to check what I look like throughout the day, I was amazed that my makeup was still perfect when I got home at the end of a long night of celebrating (eating, drinking, dancing, etc). Joanna is a true artist, and I am so grateful I was able to work with her to create my perfect wedding look!

    Joanna is a true make-up artist! I felt lovely as a princess on my wedding day. She and I did a make-up trial in her studio in Asheville. I suggest that as a first step since you really see how you look with all the extras. For example, during the make-up trial, this involved me wearing modest false eyelashes on my wedding day, based on Joanna's suggestion that they will make your eyes pop in photos. I was so happy I hired Joanna as she really knows how to artfully do your make-up. I wanted a natural look and she did an amazing job of highlighting my facial features and also using this wonderful lipstick that will not come off after eating or drinking. I looked wonderful and never had to reapply my lipstick from early in the day. The lipstick is called lipsense and I'm going to buy it from her for future use. Since I was getting married in a town near Asheville, but I don't live there, Joanna was very accommodating about how to arrange the make-up trial day when it fit my schedule. Thank you for your professionalism!!

    I absolutely loved my wedding makeup! Joanna did such an amazing job and my makeup did not budge the entire day. The airbrush makeup is a must and she even recommended a lipstick that would not transfer to my husband when he kissed the bride. Joanna was a pleasure to work with and arrived exactly on time! I cannot recommend Powder Me Pretty enough! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!

    So talented. Highly recommend!

    I am SO HAPPY I chose Powder Me Pretty to be part of our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding Joanna was extremely friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Communication was always seamless and she was always quick to respond to all of my questions and trust me when I say I had A LOT of questions. On our wedding day, Joanna and Rachel did an amazing job getting my bridesmaids, my mom, and I looking and feeling our best. They really listened to everyone's requests and are just extremely talented. I went in a totally different direction with my makeup than we had done at my trial, which definitely made me nervous, but Joanna CRUSHED IT. I had zero changes to my hair or makeup and loved everything. Thank you to Joanna, Rachel, and Powder Me Pretty for being part of our day and for being such a joy to work with!! I would recommend them to anyone!!!

    Joanna was absolute perfection for my wedding day makeup! I am NOT a makeup sort of girl, so I was really nervous about looking "not myself" on my wedding day. In just one email of explaining my reservations (I hate lipstick!), she came up with the perfect solutions to make me look my best but natural self for my day. She was such a peaceful and confident presence during the morning, could not have done it without her! Also for all my other non-makeup girls - airbrushing is AMAZING.

    Joanna is such a sweet person and she gave me perfect make up for my wedding. My makeup lasted all night and everyone gave me compliments on it. I am pretty indecisive and just put all of my trust in Joanna to make me look like me, just better and she succeeded beyond my expectations. I even got a touch up kit which was such a nice touch. She was awesome!

    Joanna was amazing to work with and so sweet! She was super understanding about me tardiness to our trial appointment when my hair dresses caused me to be over an hour late! She really knows her stuff and really took the time to get to know my style (I don't normally even wear makeup - so I didn't want to be overdone) and absolutely NAILED it! I truly have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and she made that happen!

    Joanna with Powder me Pretty made my face look flawless for my bridal portraits and wedding day. My make up was money well spent because Joanna made me look and feel like a million bucks. If you need make up done for any occasion, I highly recommend Powder Me Pretty. Don't skip out on professional wedding day make up!

    Powder me Pretty was absolutely the BEST choice I have made when it came to doing my makeup! She made me look and feel like a princess, and even gave me tips on how to take care of my made up face during the night.
