Emily was great! I contacted her last minute to do my hair and makeup for a black tie gala and she did exactly what I asked of her. I'm 64 with a medium Bob and asked for curls (it was a humid, rainy night) and a natural look for my makeup. I received so many compliments and I felt so confident and amazing all night long. Emily is also fun to chat with and extremely polite and personable. I will definitely be calling on her again as she is excellent and the cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Emily was amazing! She brought the look i wanted to life exactly as i pictured! My makeup was flawless, everyone commented all day on how good it looked and the best part was it stayed on the entire time, even my lipstick. She was responsive, accommodating, punctual and had excellent work product. I would recommend her to anyone that needs makeup for their big day! Her + her mom also did my voluminous hair. I can never get volume like that so i was impressed that it finally worked!! So happy we chose to work with them! The real glam squad!!

Emily did my makeup for my college graduation party and she is the definition of what everyone wants in a makeup artist... I seriously cannot say enough good things about her! She came to my house very prepared and before starting my makeup, she took her time to really understand what look I was going for. Her work was very thorough and to say the last, she absolutely nailed it. 10/10 experience. I highly recommend her!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge fair prices already, asking me to charge less is not fair to me. If you have multiple people I will alter the price!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to know what the customer has in mind. Do they have any reference photos? I will tell you the truth if it is something that is not my strongest skill (like full skeleton face makeup!) and I welcome questions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 5 years in now. I started in high school theater. I went to makeup school in NYC and have freelanced for over a year now.
