    Knocked it out of the park!

    Ashley and her team did an amazing job for our wedding last weekend. Everyone's hair and makeup looked absolutely STUNNING and lasted all night! They make you feel so comfortable and listen to exactly what you want. Halla did my makeup and she was so patient and kind to make sure I loved every detail! She even noticed when I needed a small moment alone and ensured I had some quiet time in the midst of all the hustle! Truly the best team and couldn't recommend them more!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank you Sarah! You were stunning and a pleasure to work with. Also thank you for mentioning needing a moment to yourself. I think most brides need a moment to breathe too and are afraid to ask. Everyone involved with the wedding feels they need to talk to the bride and when 30 people are coming at you at 9am that’s so overwhelming! Lol! Hope to work with you again ;)

    Wink Inspired is a dream team

    A shley and her team far exceeded expectations. I chose the package she has available which offers a virtual meeting prior to the big day but no in person hair/makeup trial. She assured me not to be nervous, but what bride isn’t a little nervous about those details? Well she went into every little detail about how I wanted my hair and makeup done in that virtual meeting and the end result on the wedding day was even better than I could have imagined. She truly made my vision come to life. Her staff was professional, talented, timely and easy to communicate with. I hope to someday have an excuse to have my hair and makeup done by her again because she really is the cream of the crop in the beauty industry. (Pictured is mother of the bride hair)

    Wedding hair and make-up

    Ashley was amazing!! She did so well on everything. I could have been more happier on how it turned out.

    They were the bomb!

    Ashley and her crew did an amazing job with our wedding party and family hair/make up. They balanced 17 ladies seamless and our hair and make up looked as good 14 hours later as it did when they just did it! That says a lot considering the humidity the late October wedding night offered us!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank you Lisa for your 5 Star review! And for posting pictures of our team. I'm so pleased to know your hair stayed put and your makeup remained flawless during some South Carolina October humidity. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of Amanda, you and the other ladies :)

    Warmly,
    Ashley

    Ashley is the BEST!

    Ashley is the BEST!! ! She did my on-site bridal trial on my micro-ceremony day. Not only was she super accommodating, sweet & gorgeous, she does some AMAZING hair & makeup! I showed her a couple pics and off she went!
    I am sooo looking forward to having her & team back for my Wedding Part 2 next year! xoxo

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    I’m so excited for wedding part 2! Those pics at The Grand Bohemian hotel were awesome!!! I’m sure they will be using those in their wedding marketing. They were lucky to have a beautiful bride!!!

    Beautiful and accomodating!

    Ashley from Wink was so helpful and detail oriented from our first conversation to the trial all the way to the day of the wedding :) She is friendly and I loved having someone I trust to do my hair and makeup. And obviously everything turned out STUNNING on myself, my bridesmaids and my mom's!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Brittany, Cheryl and I had so much fun working with you all on 11/10. I’ll never forget watching the ladies practicing their dance moves for the reception to surprise you. I hope it was as magical as you are Jillian! Please stay in touch!

    Highly recommended!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Wink Inspired Beauty! Ashley and her team did an amazing job. They were very professional, prepared and efficient. Myself, the mothers and all of my bridesmaids looked and felt absolutely beautiful! There is no question about it.. these ladies are truly passionate and great at what they do. I highly recommend them!

    Amazing, highly recommend!

    The owner, Ashley is so accommodating and genuine, very easy to talk with and ask questions. You are matched with a stylist who best fits with you and your vision. I worked with Ashley, she did my engagement and wedding hair and make up, as well as our bridesmaids and mothers hair and make up. The bridal trial is definitely worth spending the extra money on and they never pushed me into anything that would be out of my comfort zone. My make up and hair was beautiful, natural but glamorous and held up all night during the wedding. Ashley and her team want to do the best and always made sure myself and my bridal party was happy with the final result! Wink is well worth the money, and you will not regret booking them! I highly recommend Wink for any occasion and will be a repeat client!!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Every time we worked with you Emily it was MAGICAL!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being as beautiful on the inside as on the outside! ;)

    Highly Recommend

    We cannot say enough good things about Wink Inspired Beauty. They were great from the day we hired them until the day of the wedding. I always thought I knew how I wanted to wear my hair on the day of my wedding, but then at my trial my artist made a suggestion to do a long braid and I went for it! I'm so happy she made this suggestion because it was so beautiful with my dress! I was not only thrilled with my hair and makeup but the entire bridal party looked spectacular! Both mothers and all the bridesmaids looked amazing. They were even sweet enough to help the gentlemen in our party! Wink Inspired Beauty was so easy to communicate with and so sweet. So happy we found them. Would highly recommend them!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank you for your feedback! We were honored to be apart of your day and so happy that everything was perfect. Thank you for sending your pictures and your braided hair was stunning!

    All my beauty dreams come true

    Ashley and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with. Ashley made sure every single aspect of my wedding day look was absolutely perfect and everything I dreamed of. My bridesmaids and I looked like we just stepped off a Fashion Week runway. The flower girls were so pleased with their fancy hair-dos that one of them shed actual tears when she messed hers up (but - was promptly taken care of by Ashley's team!). Forever grateful to this dream team for creating absolutely stunning wedding day looks for me and my girls.

    Highly recommend!

    Ashely and her team were AMAZING! They arrived early and had great energy. They kept things on schedule and moving the whole time, even after we unexpectedly rearranged the order of a few of the girls. I want to give a special thank you to Ashley and Sam. Ashely did my hair (as well as a few of the other girls) and I couldn’t have been happier with it! She took what I wanted and made it better than I imagined; and it held all night! Sam did my makeup and a few of the other bridesmaids. She stayed later than expected to finish up my makeup, and she really made sure that everything was perfect and completely to our liking. I am so happy that we used Ashley and her team for my wedding day, and I highly recommend them to other brides/bridal parties! Thanks again :)

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Oh that's so sweet of you Tiffany!!! I was just thinking about you today and how I wanted to see your wedding day pictures...especially some in your dress! Wow, your dress was killer! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and I'll share your kind words with Samantha too. Please keep in touch! ;)

    She made me more beautiful than I knew I could be

    Ashely, the owner of Wink Inspired Beauty is absolutely wonderful! I was so pleased with how I looked on my wedding day, and Ashley took extra time to understand the look I was trying to achieve. She kept me calm on the day of my wedding, and everything turned out great. I looked beautiful!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank you Taylson! We're obsessed with how your pictures turned out. They are so regal and enchanting! So glad I was able to meet you and be apart of your day!

    We loved wink!

    Wink was the PERFECT choice for my wedding hair/makeup! I had a large bridal party (10 bridesmaids + my family), but that was absolutely no problem for the Wink team! Ashley made the entire process so seamless for me and listened to everything that I wanted for my look as well as my bridesmaids. The team did an amazing job giving us natural hair and makeup that was perfect for a hot summer day in Charlotte, NC - special shoutout to Laura who was just wonderful! Ashley also listened to the changes I wanted from my makeup/hair trial, and I looked exactly as I had pictured for my wedding day. I could not recommend Ashley and her team more! Thank you Wink!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank you Tori for letting us be apart of your special day! Working with you was such a pleasure. Your friends and family were the sweetest. Please reach out in the future!

    Made me look amazing!

    I had such a great experience with Wink! Ashley and Brittany did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup. They were extremely efficient, knew exactly the look that would work on me, and were so fun to talk to the whole time. I had hair and make up done for a photo shoot and because of their expertise, I felt so confident while taking the photos. I just received the photos and I could not be happier with how the hair and make up look. I will definitely use Wink again for big events!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thanks Carolyn! We had a blast with you as well, and Dani said your pictures were AMAZING when I saw her a few days after working with you. So glad you were happy with the results and we look forward to working with you again soon!!!

    Above and beyond

    I hired Ashley to do my hair and makeup for my wedding this past June. I could not have been happier with the work her and her team did at wink. She did a trial day with me before the wedding and took her time to make sure we had a clear plan going forward. The day of the wedding, she realized that due to the hot weather, it would be best to use airbrush makeup. Even though I had not paid for airbrushing, she used airbrush to make sure my makeup would last the night. Ashley and her team truly go above and beyond to make sure you look your best. Highly recommend! Thanks Ashley!

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Thank YOU Jessica! We always come prepared with different tools and we couldn’t have your foundation not perfect! So of course we break out that airbrush machine and your pictures were perfection;)

    Ashley Whitley and her team were wonderful to work with! Ashley was so patient with me when I couldn’t decide on a hair style and she was very accommodating when I decided to make a change two days before my wedding! Team Wink was professional, caring, patient, prepared, and great to work with. My mother and bridesmaids were very pleased with their hair and makeup. Ashley also did an amazing job on my hair and makeup! She made sure that I looked flawless before I walked out for our First Look. From start to finish, the Wink team helped make my wedding day beautiful! - Heather H.

    Ashley’s team did an amazing job on hair and makeup for my wedding on 6/10/18. I live outside of North Carolina and had to do all my planning remotely. Ashley kept in touch with me in the months leading up to my event to help me manage some ongoing skin issues, so I would look my best on the big day.

    When I wanted to make changes after my trial, Ashley and Sam were both incredibly accommodating. I loved my makeup and hair, so much so that I started to cry when I saw myself in the mirror (good thing they were there to keep me from spoiling the beautiful work they’d done). I looked like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I felt it. Thanks to the Wink team!

    Ashley and her team with Wink Inspired Beauty were absolutely fantastic! From the time of our makeup trial and first meeting to our big day, Ashley was a professional, working hard to help me get the look I wanted to achieve for the big day. She was very receptive to any and all feedback, flexible with any changes, and reassured me throughout the entire experience, turning into a friend as opposed to just another vendor. She even went above and beyond by recommending skincare routines that would help me look my absolute best all the way through. Overall, I would highly recommend the Wink team for your makeup needs on your big day!

    I am such a control freak when it comes to letting others do my makeup, but Ashley and her team really listened to me and the look I was going for and made sure I was happy. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do my hair, but knew I wanted my birdcage veil. Literally on the first trial, they nailed it. There are so many things on our wedding day to be stressed about, Thankfully my hair and makeup wasn't one of them. I wanted a very natural look, but wanted the makeup to last the whole time. It was exactly what I wanted and I got so many compliments on my makeup and especially eye makeup. I will only use them for future parties and events. You can be confident you are in good hands!

    Ashley and her team are top-notch! By far the best experience I’ve had with make-up application yet! I like very natural looking and most people I’ve used still go overboard. They listened and did exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend!

    As a bridal gift, I purchased a bridal package for my sister on her wedding day and a bridesmaids package for me and all 7 attendants. We had three amazing artists that pampered us with skincare that I’ve seen at Nordstrom but I’ve never been able to try. My skin looked and felt 10 years younger! Our pictures were flawless and we loved the airbrush makeup. Also, during my sisters makeup/hair trial they gave her some samples of skincare to get her skin “ready” for her wedding day. I thought that was great! Thanks again!! Wink went above an beyond for the special day!!

    As the mother of the bride my upmost wish was for my daughter to have a perfect day. I wanted her to feel as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. The look on her face once her hair and makeup were complete, along with her beautiful gown was truly priceless. You did an amazing job! You listened to her and made suggestions that enhanced her beautiful features! With all the last minute preparations, I hadn't given a thought as to my hair and makeup. Without hesitation your talent and precision took over and completed my look effortlessly! Thank you Ashley for your finishing touches that brightened her smile and made me feel beautiful too! I highly recommend Ashley and Wink Inspired Beauty!

    Stunning hair and makeup!

    Ashley and her team are awesome! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day exactly how I wanted it. I am someone who is very picky about my makeup too, so really they did great!! Every girl in my bridal party was very happy with their hair and makeup too!

    Stellar team!

    Ashley has made a fantastic team of ladies who are so great at what they do! I had a small bridal party but they didn't rush through or make us feel less important than a large wedding. They even took extra time with one of the moms who was uncertain with what she wanted and made sure she felt great too. So patient and also so talented. I can't say enough about them. I personally never felt like my makeup has been so flawless before and it lasted the entire night! Perfection!

    Incredible team of make-up and hair professionals

    Wink inspired beauty are awesome - they listed to your wants, and dislikes and could not have been more accommodating. Every member of the party was beyond impressed with their hair and make up and continuously commented on how wonderful they were. Maddie and Dorcas rocked both the rehearsal and wedding day hair and make-up! Tameka joined the girls for the wedding and was also awesome. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely be using them for any function I need to look my best for!

    Beautiful Professional Work

    I had my first trial run with Ashley a week ago and she did AMAZING on my makeup! Very professional and full of personality. We never stopped talking the entire time (until I had a coughing attack lol). The full face lasted all day even walking around the blistering hot park where my fiance and I took our engagement pictures at. Prior I had never had airbrush foundation and so she insisted we use that technique since I haven't used it before and it came out flawless!

    Hi Monica!
    So glad your makeup stood up to all that humidity! Would love to work with you in the future!

    Poor communication. Invoiced me wrong. Terrible judgement call.

    I couldn’t decide between two or three stars. All I can say positive is that my makeup stayed on. Otherwise, working with her was not worth the stress.

    There were issues leading up to the wedding but the most egregious thing that happened was that Ashley stopped me as my coordinator was literally taking me out of the bridal suite to go walk down the isle. She had to tell me she had done my invoice wrong and needed me to pay her another $250. I was LITERALLY on the way out the door. I said, ugh “I’m going to walk down the isle now...” to which she replied, “well don’t you know where your wallet is?”


    Are we serious right now? I’m about to go have the biggest milestone moment of my life and this woman gets pushy that she invoiced me wrong (her fault not mine) and that I need to pay her right now. After some uncomfortable push back, and my coordinator grabbing my arm to say “let’s go,” I finally said “look I’m walking down the isle now. This has to wait until tomorrow.” She was visibly unhappy and went on to say “well brides haven’t paid me in the past.” That seems like something which could be remedied if you invoiced them correctly prior to the event.

    Furthermore, it seemed odd to me that this woman I’d not had the best interactions with was asking me for a few hundred MORE dollars at such a poor time. Was she trying to take advantage of the situation thinking I would just blindly give her more money? Not only that, it was so inappropriate. I had really wanted to take a few minutes to myself, take a deep breath and think about what was about to happen. Instead, this perfect stranger was hounding me to abort what I was doing (um... getting MARRIED) to go searching around a messy bridal suite for my wallet. It was a really crappy memory to be honest.

    Now for communication- don’t expect any unless it’s a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Monday’s she’s recovering from the “busy weekend,” Thursday’s/ Fridays she’s preparing for the “busy weekend” and Saturday/Sunday she’s working the “busy weekend.” In my experience she will only return your calls and emails on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and there may be a week delay.

    My coordinator even had to call her and say “Hey I hope I don’t have a disappointed bride. We take that really seriously here at _____ venue and I’m sure you want to continue working here.” If you need reliable communication then don’t hire her.

    I was an out of state bride so I paid extra for a package that included a virtual consultation. This lasted about 10 minutes if (I’m being generous) and it was like pulling teeth to get Ashley to call me for it. Three days before the wedding I got her to respond and set a time. That day she texted me saying she has to “run out to a last minute appointment” and would it be okay if we rescheduled? I said no, my wedding is in three days and there is not time to reschedule. I told her that if she could not do the virtual appointment then she could refund me. She balked and FaceTimed me from her car for about 10 minutes. Nothing makes a customer know how important they are than being called from your car on the way to another appointment, right? I booked this woman three months in advance. She had all the time in the world to do the consult but left it until three days ahead.

    Then, the day of the wedding she says “oh my gosh! I almost didn’t get your hair extensions in time because I ordered them so late!” I would not have been happy about that.

    Honestly, the service really lacked here. It was miserable and stressful. Then the whole thing about asking for more money because she invoiced me wrong as I was walking out the door was just over the top. It just put me in such a weird head space with no time to recover. I went right from that to walking down the isle. Such poor judgement. Talk to my maid of honor, my sister, my mother. Anyone but me in that moment.

    I wouldn’t hire her unless you want a headache. Totally not worth it. Bridal nightmare.

    Wink Inspired Beauty's reply:

    Hi Ali,
    I'm very sorry that you had a negative experience with us and hope that the rest of your wedding day was memorable and full of joy. I appreciate your candid feedback, however, I am human and make mistakes and apologize for the invoice errors. I agree it was not the best time to discuss money, which is why all payments are due 30 days prior, and I apologize for bringing it up. I truly felt a sincere connection with you and your story you shared with me and would love to reach back out to you to make this right. We were privileged to work with you only want to create perfect memories for all our brides. In the meantime, I wish you continued health and hope you run many more marathons in your life.

    Ashley
