Valerie did an amazing job for myself, my mom and my cousin. Not only was she professional but also personable. She listened to what look was desired and made it a reality. Valerie is extremely patient and handled my household with grace and kindness ❤️ I would highly recommend her for any special occasion, like weddings, for hair and/or as a makeup artist for professionally masking any blemishes, to make you look natural. She truly has a gift and we are so grateful we chose her to make us beautiful for my son’s wedding! If I was anywhere in the Atlanta area needing makeup and hair done again, Valerie would be my only choice!

Valerie was amazing to work with. A few days leading up to my appt, she helped me pick out all my makeup. She answered all my questions and was very happy with the overall look for my wedding day! I am not great at doing makeup, but at the end of our consultation, I felt confident I would be able to do it on my own. I would highly recommend anyone needing help to contact Valerie right away. She knows what she is talking about!

Details: Beginner • Makeup only • Bridal makeup • 30 minutes • I travel to the makeup artistry instructor • The makeup artistry instructor travels to me • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting)
