First off this wouldn’t let me click punctuality and value. Gretchen the Hair Diva - 1000/10 recommend. I had a beach wedding last week flew in from out of state. Gretchen was one of the makeup artists that my photographer recommended, And her ratings on this platform sealed it. I did a trial run with her the night before and my hair and make up was beautiful I had an early morning wedding And Gretchen didn’t bat an eye(lash) 😊 She lives A little over an hour away from where I was getting ready so we made the decision to book her a hotel the night before Because I didn’t want her to have to run back-and-forth and I didn’t want anyone to be late. She volunteered her hotel room as the getting ready space because I didn’t want anyone to see me before the wedding and she helped me get ready and dressed as well. The day of my wedding she was so relaxed and cheerful and encouraging as I was a nervous wreck, but she quickly made me feel it ease, calmed my nerves and let me tell you I left there looking and more importantly, feeling like a beautiful bride. I normally don’t say these things about myself. I usually don’t wear a lot of make up and I seldomly do my hair because I have longer curly hair. When I showed up at the venue to do the reveal photos with my soon to be husband, his jaw legitimately dropped, and I have photos to prove it. My hair was beautiful. My makeup was perfect and Gretchen is seriously amazing. She also did a friend of mine’s make up and she looked lovely as well. I can’t recommend her enough …. I have a big event in October and I am seriously contemplating flying her out to where it is and putting her up in a hotel so she can work her magic there. Thank you, Gretchen for your kindness and your passion for what you do. You are amazing.

Gretchen did an excellent job in doing my hair and makeup for a formal event that I attended. She’s very responsive, and helped me accomplish what I want to achieve. I admire her professionalism and I highly recommend her. I will be hiring her again for future events.

Gretchen was wonderful to work with. She was great with communication and showed up on time. Everyone thought that I looked beautiful and I was happy with the results. She was a lifesaver as my wedding was rescheduled very last minute. She charged a fair price and I would be happy to use her again.
