Bridget O. Sent on 04/18/2024Can't recommend Joanna enough!
I can't recommend Joanna and her team enough! They did an incredible job on my wedding day. My makeup stayed flawless all night, looking amazing in person and in photos. My hair, also styled by Joanna, held up perfectly. Joanna takes her time to pamper you and makes it a very calm and fun experience for you on your wedding morning. All of the assisting hair and makeup artists ensured my bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks as well. You cannot go wrong with Joanna. She is clearly an expert in her craft (both hair and makeup) and I am so pleased with how my entire look came out. Thank you!!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Thank you so much beautiful! I was honored to be part of your day! Congratulations! Wishing you all the best! -

Best of the best!
If you want the best of the BEST wedding hair and makeup artist you have arrived at the right place! I saw Joanna’s work on TikTok before I even got engaged! I said to myself “this is the only person I would want to do my wedding day hair and makeup” because WOW talented is an understatement. She is simply the best!
She truly takes the word artist to a whole other level. Everyone told me the entire night that I looked like a movie/hollywood star (exact vibe I was going for), princess, etc! She gave me the confidence that every bride needs on her wedding day and truly made me GLOW.
Thank you so much for everything!!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
You are amazing ! Thank you for having me & trusting in me:) you looked fabulous & so glad you felt that way too!!! Cheers! Xoxo -

Joanna's reputation proceeds her. I've always had nerves when trusting someone else to do my hair and makeup (not knowing how to deal with my psoriasis, looking too 'glam', ending up with a dated style, etc). But Joanna's portfolio and professionalism calmed me and I had total trust in her for my wedding day. And peace the morning of the wedding is priceless- so very thankful to Joanna for that!
And can I say, I've never looked better in my life!! She made me glow like I was the healthiest I've ever been, and she made my hair Pinterest worthy. All I had to do was show her an inspo picture and she recreated it like magic. My makeup lasted all night through tears, dinner, and lots of dancing.
I now feel spoiled that I can't have her be my personal glam team everyday. My own makeup skills pale in comparison to the absolute MAGIC joanna did.
Thank you for making me look so so beautiful!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Laura you’re so kind! Thank you so much for having me! You were a vision & I was thankful to be a part of your day! -

Joanna was the best. Honestly saying that may even be an understatement. I had the privilege of stumbling across her page on Instagram and admired her work. It was really different to see how she documented each client using a before and after and providing a detailed description of the products used. While I live in California, having someone — the same individual, not two — who could do both my hair and makeup was of utmost importance. I was willing to splurge in this area as well because I wanted to look and feel great on my wedding day. Joanna delivered! She carefully reviewed my inspo photos and was able to adjust on the spot. Myself and the few other gals who had their makeup done by Joanna were all pleased with the quality. Our looks lasted all day and night. We could not recommend anyone better in this business!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Thank you so much Alyse! You were such a fantastic bride to have ! You made my job easy & I loved traveling to give you your wedding glam! Congratulations & thank you for choosing me beautiful! -

Joanna listened to my concerns and my hair and makeup lasted all night. I am so happy I stumbled onto her instagram because my makeup was FLAWLESS. I am also very picky about how my hair curls and she did an amazing job. My makeup was glam yet natural and I absolutely loved it.True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:

HIGHLY recommend!!😍
Joanna made my mom and I both feel and look our absolute best on my wedding day. She is professional, friendly, organized and very sanitary. She paid attention to all of the small details. I am so glad I came across her IG page while searching for a makeup artist. My hair and makeup lasted throughout dinner and well into the night. I can not recommend her enough! This comes so natural to her. She is very talented. I was unable to have a trial and I could not have put my face in better hands on such an important day. She made such a big impact with what felt like little product. She is very knowledgeable and tailored everything to my skin type. Her work truly speaks for itself.True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Thank you so much Amber!! You were an absolute pleasure to have as a bride & undeniably stunning!! I loved creating your look with your guidance & so happy to hear your feedback! Congratulations beauty! -

Melissa W. Sent on 08/20/2023Joanna is incredible!
Joanna is absolutely amazing at what she does!! She explains everything as she goes so you know what each product does and why she uses it. She asks for feedback and makes changes accordingly. I felt 10 years younger and can honestly say I have never looked better!!! We got married on the beach and my hair & makeup withheld the heat and strong winds!! Could not be happier with her work!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Thank you so much for having me on your special day! It was such a pleasure! Your review is much appreciated !Congratulations!!! -

Go no further!!! TRUE BEAUTY by Joanna STUNNING must have for any event especially weddings!
Joanna is EXTREMELY talented in her work as a HMUA artist. From the trial, prep, patience, and outcome it was beyond PERFECT! She was extremely respectful in working towards the look and sensitivities that I have with my makeup. Being a bride that was out of state as well as one with a large wedding party she was extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. She truly worked to ensure that not only myself, but everyone felt my very best that day. You can see the passion in her work and you can tell she puts her whole heart into beautifying you! My makeup was STUNNING and spot on. It lasted all night long and I got nothing but amazing compliments towards the look. It was glamorous while still being me! She did all she could to get my hair to hold that heat and the curls were BEAUTIFUL. It did fall throughout the night of humidity/sweating BUT looking back it still looked wonderful in all of my pictures and captured a beachy look as the night went on.
I truly couldn’t have been happier with everything Joanna provided. She also hired a crew of HMUA that were professional, respectful, fun, patient, and all around wonderful ladies who made our morning great!
Joanna & her team, without a doubt, should be your go to for any event/wedding!!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
You’re a dream! Thank you so much for having me! I loved being a part of your day! Wishing you all the love ! Congratulations! -

Joanna is such an talented hair and makeup artist!!
Joanna spent so much time and attention to my bridal hair and makeup to make it perfect! What drew me to Joanna was the incredible work and examples she posted to Instagram. This allowed me to see styles and looks I liked so i knew what to ask her for. She included so many tips on skin and hair prep that helped me prepare in the months leading up. Both looked amazing at the trial, but she upgraded the look even more for wedding day with small changes I asked for. She used high quality products/brands and took extra time at the start of the service to prep the skin. My makeup and hair stayed ALL night withstanding high winds and rain drops. I have nothing but amazing reviews for Joanna!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
My beautiful ANGEL bride!!! Thank you for the gracious review!!! It was such a pleasure to be part of your day and meet you! Thank you for trusting in me! Wishing you all the best!!! -

THE BEST HMU ARTIST - SERIOUSLY. Joanna is amazingly talented at what she does and I was blown away by the final product! My wedding HMU was everything I was looking for and so much more. Joanna is a wonderful human being, and is constantly learning + applying new techniques, and my bridesmaids and I loved getting some tips from her while we were getting ready. DO NOT MISS! You will be so happy!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:

I have never felt so beautiful! She did such an amazing job I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. It was raining for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day and my hair and makeup stayed perfect when it usually gets ruined. I am so glad she did my hair and makeup for the most special day, can’t recommend highly enough!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Hi beauty! Thank you for choosing me for your day! I had the best time getting to glam you twice! Congratulations! You were a vision! I hope you had the most blissful day!!!! -

Beast mode
Joanna is a beast {& I mean that in the best way possible}!! I was nervous about having a destination wedding in HHI, not knowing of any local HMU artists that could give me the “beach glam” vibe I was going for. From the bridal trial/engagement to the wedding, she exceeded all of my expectations – and then some! My entire bridal party looked stunning, especially my beautiful momma who has done HMU herself for the past 40+ years; she could not stop watching Joanna in action. Her work is so complex, yet she makes it seem so easy and flawless. There’s no stress when you are sitting in Joanna’s chair. You can relax knowing she’s got you and can already pinpoint your ‘good side’ :D. I stopped counting the compliments I received on my HMU for both engagement and wedding photos. My MIL lives in HHI and has had multiple locals ask for Joanna’s info since the wedding. Joanna, thanks for being so professional, creative, passionate, and listening to exactly what I wanted! You are the best!!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
Thank you so so so much for having me! You were a true pleasure & BEAUTY! I loved every minute of our time together & am forever grateful! Congratulations !!!! -

Extremely satisfied! Joanna made me feel like a real life Pinterest Bride. I didn’t even stress about doing a trial, because she is that talented, I knew whatever the final result was, it would be beautiful. From communication, to professionalism, to a true artist, Joanna is amazing. Not only did she make me feel gorgeous, all of her team truly delivered when it came to the rest of the group’s H&MU. We had unfortunate weather on our wedding day, but my makeup was not effected one bit. Joanna delivers true quality work and I am beyond happy looking through my wedding photos and seeing the final result. I don’t wear much makeup on a daily basis, so she did a wonderful job making me still feel like I look like myself. Thank you so much!True Beauty by Joanna Marie's reply:
stunning stunning stunning!!!! Thank you for having me beauty!!! I loved meeting you and all the glam! you're a dream bride & so happy to hear all the above!!!! THANK YOU!!! -

My hair and make up were absolutely STUNNING and I received so many compliments!!! I wish I could take her back to NJ with me.
