Best Hair and Makeup Professional Ive ever met

My experience with Jessica was absolutely extraordinary. She is truly one of a kind. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to achieve the perfect look for my wedding day. As a Curly Hair Bride, I was incredibly nervous about entrusting someone with my hair and makeup. From the very beginning, Jessica exuded warmth and reassurance. When we first spoke on the phone, her welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. Upon meeting her in person, I felt a sense of comfort and relaxation that I hadn't expected.

Jessica is an exceptional listener and goes above and beyond to provide options and suggestions tailored to your unique preferences. Throughout the entire process, she made me feel supported and never alone. It's as if she became a part of my family through this entire experience, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for her presence.

For those with natural curly hair, Jessica is an absolute expert. She understands and respects the intricacies of curly hair like no one else. As for the makeup, Jessica paid close attention to my desires and made adjustments during the trial to ensure it was exactly what I had envisioned. On the wedding day, she absolutely nailed it.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica's talent and the beautiful person she is inside and out. If you're searching for someone who will genuinely listen to you, understand your needs, and bring your vision to life, Jessica is, without a doubt, the perfect choice. Thank you, Jessica, for making me feel radiant and confident on the most important day of my life.

Jessica and Crew were AMAZING!

Jessica and her staff were amazing right from the get go. All of my bridesmaids were not only ranting and raving about their hair and makeup, but about the fun time they had with each hair/makeup artist. Jessica is reasonably priced, super professional, and also VERY responsive and on the ball. She was always available via email when I had questions or concerns. She also would email me with reminders and timelines so I wasn't missing anything. I was not from the area where she was located so she was also very flexible with me when it came time for my trial (her studio is also SO CUTE!). She made my visions of how I wanted to look on my wedding day come true. If you are looking for a great experience then don't hesitate to book Jessica.

Wonderful Experience!

Jessica and her team were a pleasure to work with! I had a very large bridal party and they made sure we were on time with the schedule for the day and everyone looked amazing. Jessica herself made the process of decision making for my hair so easy, I had a vision and she brought it to life! I highly recommend Jessica for your big day!
