I hired Ceci to do my make up and hair for my destination wedding in Costa Rica. I was very pleased with the services I received. Ceci was very flexible and open to my opinions and concerns. I wanted a very natural look for my wedding day, and I didn't want my make up to melt off. The weather was very tropical and my make up lasted all night. I wanted to use some of my own products which Ceci didn't mind. I loved my experience with her. For my hair, I wanted an up-do. I have a lot of hair and on top of that it is thick. Ceci did my hair and it lasted all night. There wasn't a single strand loose even with me dancing the night away. I would recommend Ceci for hair and make up for any occasion.

Céci is the epitome of a professional makeup artist. She transformed me for a night out in the city that left me super confident and blushing at compliments the entire night!

HIGHLIGHTS: -Delivered exactly what I asked for -Professional, easy to work with -Great value for what I paid Ceci truly has a keen eye for art and making you feel beautiful. Prior to my wedding, I was able to do a trial run with her. I showed Ceci photos of hair and make-up looks I liked. She asked me to describe the look I was going for and made sure she understood exactly what I wanted before beginning the trial. I really liked the fact that Ceci also threw out a few options and ideas that I would have never thought of. At the end of the trial, she told me about a few skin care tips to do prior to the wedding to help make sure I glowed on my special day. Post trial, my makeup lasted all day in the scorching 95 degree heat. I have combination skin and I was shocked that I did not look oily and beat up at the end of the day. My hair is super thick, long and kinky and some of my curls fell midway through the day. However, I contacted Ceci, and showed her the after photos. She knew exactly how to fix that problem and my hair turned out AMAZING on the actual day of my wedding. On the day of my wedding, Ceci arrived to my "getting ready site" on time, was pleasant, easy to work with and very professional throughout the entire process. My hair and makeup turned out exactly how I wanted it. I am very particular about my eye brows and I asked her to re-shape one eyebrow two different times because it was not cooperating that morning. Ceci happily continued to redo the eyebrow without any grief until it turned out exactly how I like it. It felt really amazing to have someone listen to your wants and needs and then execute your vision perfectly. I would hands down recommend Ceci to anyone who is looking for a professional make-up and/or hair artist for any event.

Ceci did my hair and makeup for my June wedding and was wonderful to work with! We scheduled a trial run before my wedding and I brought Ceci examples of hairstyles and makeup looks that I wanted for my wedding day. Ceci was great about listening to my vision for my hair/makeup as well as giving me feedback on my ideas and makeup for my skin; I have oily skin and was worried about this for my wedding day. Ceci listened to my concerns, assessed my needs and was very flexible, patient and also worked well under pressure. Since my hair is very long and thick we almost ran out of time at the end with the photographer arriving, but nevertheless, she made sure I looked and felt beautiful on my special day. If you're looking for professionalism and excellent quality of service, I would highly recommend Ceci for hair and makeup for any special event.
