⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot recommend her highly enough! I reached out at the last minute for hair and makeup for my nephew’s wedding, and she was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and able to fit me into her schedule.
My airbrush makeup looked absolutely flawless when she finished, and my hair was gorgeous. I received so many compliments throughout the day on my hairstyle and felt confident and beautiful for such a special occasion.
She was professional, talented, kind, and made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to make you look and feel your best, I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again.
Details: Special occasion • 45 - 64 years old • Airbrushed makeup (spray tool) • False lashes • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.
