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!

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!!

Jessica was a dream to work with. We hired her for an in-home makeup session for Halloween. We were excited to work with her to get some glamorous makeup to go with our costumes. We worked with her in advance to provide her with inspirational pictures so she could source whatever colors, gems or glitter she needed. When Jessica arrived day of, she came with all the professional equipment in tow (chair, light, etc.) We were very impressed with her demeanor, her skills, and her spread of makeup - including lashes. The final product was awesome, especially my friend who went as a "snow queen" and had some really cool makeup on. Mine was a little more understated (just heavy eye make up and dark lipstick for my "witch"). Both of us were pleased and were complimented through out the night. Would totally work with Jessica again and recommend her without hesitation!

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!
