Jess was an absolute delight to work with! Not only did she do an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding reshoot, but her personable nature made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Jess, for your excellent work and for being such a pleasure to work with!

Jessica was great!! Truly so great to work with and so amazed with her work - honestly think she did a much better job with my hair and makeup than the person I hired for my wedding a few years ago! Super talented and made me look like a new and upgraded woman for my maternity pictures. Will definitely be reaching out again for any events I need hair and makeup done for!!

I could not have asked for a better, more relaxed experience!
I had a semi last minute request for both hair and makeup for a couples photo session I was having done in Salem. She was so quick to respond to all of my questions and made sure to understand what look I was going for.
She is so nice and personable and made the whole experience relaxing and fun. The look was perfect. I highly recommend.

Jessica responded my message and showed up within 2 hours notice. She is such a life saver! She brought high chairs and all the tools herself and did an awesome job for my stage makeup. I would definitely call her again if I need make up and hair done in the future!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we would set up a trial date. This would be the time we discuss the look and will do a full run through of what the client will look like on the day of the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been trained and certified by Sephora University.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was always artistic as a child and art and makeup just went hand in hand for me. Once I got started I fell in love with with the rewarding feeling of making someone feel confident and beautiful!
