Jolene was absolutely amazing from our very first interaction all the way through the wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, she was a calm, reassuring presence amid the chaos that comes with preparing for a wedding. Her professionalism and warm demeanor instantly put me at ease and made everything feel manageable. Even when we added hair service and an additional makeup, Jolene was incredibly accommodating and flexible, handling the changes seamlessly without any added stress. On the wedding day itself, she brought a sense of calm and confidence, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that everyone felt taken care of, and I truly have never felt more beautiful. I recommend Jolene for your hair and makeup needs and hope to use her services again in the future.

I booked Jolene for my wedding simply based off the reviews people left about her here on Thumbtack!
I was looking for someone who could make me feel beautiful without caking on the makeup. She did exactly that, she actively listened to what I wanted and gave me what I was looking for as a casual makeup wearer. Thank you Jolene for making me feel like the prettiest bride on my wedding day!

Jolene was incredible and made myself (the bride) and all my bridesmaids feel so beautiful day of. I was able to give her my pinterest board of MANY pins and she got the vibe and vision so well. She was so professional but also brought a great energy to the very anxious day. I could not recommend her enough!

Had my make up and hair trial with Jolene and love it. Can’t wait to see what she does for my actual wedding day. She is responsive and easy to work with.
