Monica and Nina did an absolutely incredible job providing makeup and hair services for my wedding! She made the experience fun and joyful, from the trial to the big day itself. She was very responsive to the wants and needs of my entire party and everyone felt so beautiful all day! Monica is a dream, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Monica made my sister and I (maid of honor and bride) feel so well taken care of and the final product was gorgeous. Not only did Monica do an amazing job with the makeup she was fun to talk to and helped ease my pre wedding jitters. I felt very lucky to have someone so kind and easy to vibe with doing my makeup and the fact that she made my sister feel as comfortable makes it ten fold better! As much as it is important the bride is taken care if my sister hadn’t been happy I would not have been happy. Luckily we both looked and felt good! Wish I had photos to share but I don’t have them back yet!

Details: Wedding • 26 - 44 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • 2 people • My home, venue, etc.

I’m so happy I went with Monica for hair and makeup for my bridal shower. Not only was her work exceptional but she was the best hype woman to get me in the right headspace ahead of the event. I can’t wait to work with Monica again on future events! If you are thinking about hiring Monica for an event, do not hesitate to reach out to her! She was very responsive and so easy to work with. Don’t walk, RUN to booking her!

We had the pleasure of working with Monics for my daughters junior prom. The whole process of booking up until the actual appt was very seamless and my daughter was very pleased that Monica took into consideration all of her requests. Her being able to do hair and makeup and coming to the house made the day stress free for us. Thanks Monica for making my daughter feel comfortable with this whole process. 💕

    I have 15 years within the cosmetics/beauty industry with five years being solely dedicated to Smashbox Cosmetic Artistry. The only cosmetics line that is born out of a real photography studio in L.A. I have grown to love and expand my education on camera-ready makeup artistry over the years with a true focus of makeup application that translates to camera flawlessly. I have worked with top brands such as NARS, MakeupForever, Dior, Bobbi Brown, Smashbox, Becca, Tarte, Hourglass, and many more.

    Quality over quantity. Look for quality and that is when you will truly come to value and enjoy experience from start to finish.
