Hired on Thumbtack

My 3 friends and I went to a wedding in St Helena and we decided to hire Melissa to do our makeup up for the event. And oh my goodness we were all so incredibly happy that we did! We ranged from the mid 50’s to 90 years of age. Everyone one us loved the experience and the results! We were the most beautiful versions of ourselves for the big day! We not only looked so pretty but felt pretty too. Melissa is the kind of person who you want to be friends with for the rest of your life! She did an amazing job listening to what each of us wanted then executed our wishes precisely and perfectly! I hope to work with her again! Truly we all loved her and the experience so much its hard to put into words!
Hire her! I promise you will be so happy you did! Thank you so very much Melissa!

What an awesome experience! We asked for makeup and received personalized attention with Melisa! First, she brought all the needed supplies and then some! She asked each of us what colors we were wearing and preferences in order to individualize our services. I wasn’t planning on using false eyelashes, yet Melisa explained that she could use softer lashes to make my eyes look more natural. I was very pleased with how my eyelashes looked. Very natural! Melisa a wonder creative makeup artist!

Melissa is amazing! I needed a MUA a few days before my event and she was able to get me in and work with my schedule. She is a perfectionist, and her work speaks for itself! I received so many compliments on my make up! She really listens to your feedback and is very attentive.

Melissa was easy and fun to work with. She listens to what her client wished and the outcome is just beautiful. My daughter loved the way her make up turned so well which reflected on all her beautiful senior photos.
Highly recommends Melissa. You wont be disappointed!
