I am a Thumbtack newbie and I meant to submit a review last year!! This incredibly talented makeup artist did a phenomenal job on my makeup and hair for an intimate and brief wedding. She is so friendly/sweet, prompt, professional. She was great at explaining what she was doing along the makeup process. For my hair, she was incredibly accommodating in making a few changes/tweaks to my liking. SHE IS AWESOME!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Missy was awesome. She kept in touch with me, she arrived on time, she felt like my friend immediately, she made me look the very best i could. Hair and makeup absolutely perfect. I felt that what she charged was quite reasonable.

Missy was absolutely amazing with my hair and makeup. She was very flexible and able to accommodate all of my requests, even with changing plans and timing. She really listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. My hair and makeup held up beautifully in the snow and lasted all the way through a later photoshoot without needing major touch-ups. I felt confident, comfortable, and photo-ready the entire time. I’m so grateful I chose Missy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and talented hair and makeup services. Thank you so much, Missy! â„ïžđŸ’„âœš
