Working with Ashley was THE BEST.

Firstly, Ashley is a great collaborator and a very skilled HMUA. She worked with me both on email and during my trial to create the exact ‘natural’ look I wanted. I truly have never felt more beautiful! Ashley creates such a relaxed and calm but also fun environment, it felt like I had a beloved friend helping me look and feel my best.

Ashley also went above and beyond on my wedding day. Firstly, by making sure I personally was taken care of during a getting ready location change (in very wet weather!) - for which I couldn’t have been more grateful! Secondly, she put me at ease and created a very serene environment pre-ceremony - I felt so centred and grounded. I was also worried about being a big crier and potentially messing up my look from happy tears - and Ashley worked with me on a plan that kept me looking flawless all day/night.

I highly, highly recommend working with Ashley and the team at Blush HMD. Shout out also to Camille and Tanika - my entire bridal party loved their HMU looks!

Nothing but rave reviews here! From the moment she arrived, Ashley’s warmth and personable nature instantly put me at ease. It felt like having a friend there to get me ready for our special day.
Not only does Ashley have incredible talent for hair and makeup, but she also had an intuitive understanding of my style and preferences. She listened attentively to my ideas and concerns, and then worked her magic to far exceed my expectations.

The transformation she created was nothing short of breathtaking. She enhanced my natural beauty in a way that felt both glamorous and true to myself. It was like she captured the essence of who I am and translated it into a stunning bridal look.

I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough to anyone searching for a hair and makeup artist. She truly made our elopement day even more magical, and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU, Ashley!

I got married in Big Sur in August 2023 and was VERY happy with my choice of Ashley/Blush for hair and makeup. I live in Los Angeles and am into fashion and beauty, so my standards are pretty high in terms of what I expect out of execution, detail, and elegance for my hair and makeup. At the same time, I'm a down-to-earth person and the last thing I wanted was a snooty or high-glam vibe from my stylist on my wedding day. Ashley was the perfect fit. She listened carefully to what I wanted, asked for inspiration photos for myself and everyone in my bridal party, took over 6 hours on my trial making everything just perfect, helped me figure out what kind of hair extensions to purchase, took a long list of suggestions from me about subtle changes I wanted to make for the actual wedding day, and executed them all perfectly. Ashley even volunteered to take home my hair extensions after the trial, wash them, and prepare them for the wedding day. She is fast and responsive over email, accommodating of requests, and very reasonably priced compared to other artists in the area. And best of all she doesn't come off like an annoying LA-type stylist. She is actually someone I would be friends with. She fit in really well with my friends and family, knew just when to laugh along with us and when to be quiet/contemplative to match my changing moods on the day of my wedding. My overall look was romantic, fresh, pretty, elegant, and natural but glamorous. The rest of her team was great as well--we had two different getting ready locations and they covered them both, and really listened to what each member of the bridal party wanted. Ashley and her team go the extra mile and as a Type A bride, she is someone I would work with again if only she lived closer to LA! Thanks Ashley!
