Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hi there! Thank you so much for checking us out! :-) Let me start by asking, what are you *really* paying for when you book bridal makeup and hair? Bobbi pins and hairspray? Skincare, foundation, or lipstick? Eh ... maybe, but not really. What you're really paying for is peace of mind and less stress on one of the most anticipated celebrations of your life. No matter how elaborate or simple the day is or whether you've been planning for two years or two months, hiring professional, trained, and experienced bridal beauty specialists buys you an opportunity to relax. Here is the short list of what we offer our brides: - Reliable - we're going to be there no matter what. - Professional Attitude: we infuse your prep time with a laid-back, fun energy no matter what situation arises. - Professional Products: we use high-quality, professional products to ensure the best possible results. - Experienced: hundreds of weddings under our belts allow us to anticipate your needs. - Tenacious: we will work on your look until it's perfect -- we don't give up because something is challenging. - Intimate: we are a small team, which allows me to train everyone, personally, and work 80 - 90% of the weddings we book. Years ago, I was trained by seasoned, veteran bridal artists. Today, I teach aspiring bridal artists through Multimedia Makeup Academy. I am not only responsible for my own reputation, but the ethics and professionalism of a whole new crop of artists moving into the industry. As an artist, I pride myself on being reliable, professional, flexible, and yet laid back and personable with my clients. My job as your personal bridal artist is to help make your special day go as smoothly as possible while ensuring that you look fantastic both in person and in your photos and I'm proud to say that I deliver on that promise.

I had a great experience with Crystal. My make up looked great and lasted the entire wedding. She was very friendly and down to earth. I would recommend her services for anyone looking for a great, professional experience.

Most amazing person I worked with on my whole wedding experience! Responded quickly to all my emails, listened and understood everything that I wanted and all of my bridesmaids wanted to take her home with them lol and Ryan who did our hair for the wedding party was great! She was quick and effortless. Couldn't have asked or even dreamed of a better team!!!

Wow. First off, I need to say that Crystal is an absolute sweetheart. I hired Crystal to do my wedding hair and makeup. She is professional and so very easy to work with, it really put me at ease. Crystal is very knowledgable and extremely creative. I would describe something to her, and she knew exactly what I was talking about and how to best fit it to my look. She offered many ideas and choices, and explained how each would have an effect (i.e. make my eyes look bluer, or green, etc). I also have very fine, long, style-less hair. She made it look amazing! This woman is seriously talented. As an older bride (early 40's), I really didn't know what to expect, as my more "beautiful years" are long gone. Can I tell you I have NEVER felt more beautiful than I did that evening? I felt more beautiful that night, than I ever did 20 years ago. Even my best friend kept telling me "I have never seen you look this gorgeous!" My son told me I looked like a princess, and I honestly felt like one. Everyone kept gushing over how amazing I looked. I will absolutely contact Crystal Drake again for any hair and/or professional makeup needs I may have. Thank you, Crystal, for being an instrumental part of our special day, and for making me feel like the beautiful princess every bride should feel like on her wedding day! You were amazing, and I cannot thank you enough!

Thank you so much, Melissa! I had a great time working with you and I am so incredibly happy that you felt gorgeous. I totally fell in love with everyone I met on Saturday, including your gigantic dog, and those experiences make my job so awesome. If she comes up missing . . . it wasn't me. ;-)

I found Crystal last minute on Thumbtack after my previous wedding day makeup artist cancelled on me shortly before my wedding. Crystal was able to fit me in on short notice. Despite being the impending wedding she found time to squeeze in a trial (and even drove to me). During the trial she asked numerous questions about the wedding, the look I was going for and my taste preferences. I greatly appreciated her allowing so much feedback. In addition to listening to my opinions, she was also incredibly professional and friendly. On the day of my wedding she showed up early and ready to go. The makeup turned out perfectly. She also gave me a wonderful goody bag for touch ups throughout the day. While applying the makeup she helped keep me calm by being incredibly personable. I appreciated having her as an extra cheerleader in my corner. If you are looking for a make-up artist who is knowledgeable, personable, and professional I would highly recommend Crystal.
