Words cannot do justice to how pleased I was with Lily and her service. From the trail through my wedding day she was a class act! She listened to each girl ensuring that she was capturing the exact look they wanted and she made everyone feel comfortable. She was highly professional and spot on with projection of time. She knew exactly how long each girl would take for hair and makeup and was not a second off on the day of the wedding. Now brides-this is key! If you get behind on hair and makeup it throws the whole timeline off. You don’t have to worry about this with Lily. I want to find a reason to have her do my hair and makeup again so I can feel just as pretty as I did on my wedding day.

Lily did a great job for me and my 6 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She worked quickly and she and her assistant gave everyone the makeup and hair they wanted. She listened to our requests and everyone looked beautiful the whole day.
I would highly recommend Lily. She is communicative, punctual, and really listens to her clients.
Book her for your event!

Lily was amazing from the start. She was incredibly open, flexible, and professional. She arrived at almost 6am (!) and worked on all of my ladies to extent where touch ups were minimal for almost 14 hours! She was really encouraging during her trials and implemented it to a "T" on the day of the wedding. Thank you so much Lily!

I booked lily for my wedding coming up but my experience so far has been amazing! She did my hair and makeup trial and I went in a date with my fiance after the fact who was in love with my look! She did a spectacular job highlighting my features and knowing exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup look.

Lily did both hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party and she did such a phenomenal job. She is truly an artist, her skills for hair and makeup are on point! She was able to duplicate a look I wanted to achieve just by looking at a photo.
