Missy is absolutely AMAZING! 💕 I’m so grateful that I found her to be part of our wedding day. She did an incredible job on my hair and makeup as the bride, as well as for all four of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, and I felt so confident and special on my wedding day. She is extremely professional, punctual, easy to communicate with, and her prices are very reasonable. We also did a trial beforehand, which was such a great experience. On the wedding day, she arrived right on time and made the whole morning feel relaxed, fun, and stress-free. She even surprised each of us with a small gift, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. 🥹💕 Our wedding day started with Missy, and she truly helped make the beginning of the day so special. She was not only talented but also so kind and pleasant to have around during such an important moment. I would HIGHLY recommend Missy to any bride or anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful hair and makeup artist. You will not regret booking her! 💄✨👰♀️

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Missy! She responded right away to my inquiry. Her pricing was fair and I was able to book with just a few days before my event. I booked her for hair and makeup for my maternity photos and I am still blown away. Will definitely be using her in the future!
