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.

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!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
