    Amanda is amazing!

    To say Amanda is AMAZING is an understatement! Her work is gorgeous, her prices are affordable, and she is such a joy to be around! She made me feel like a princess even though my wedding was NOT the day I was expecting (thanks #COVID19). Amanda was still willing to do my make up and all of the mother's and bridal party's make up the day of and for that I am forever grateful! She works efficiently, walks you through everything if you've never had your make up done before (hello false lashes!), and ultimately gives you the look you've been dreaming of. I will forever recommend Amanda to any and all brides! We are even using her again for our rescheduled ceremony later in the year!

    Beautiful work

    I lucked out and swooped Amanda up with about a month before the wedding. I loved her aesthetic, and she got my "ethereal fairytale" vibe right away. My hair and my bridesmaids hair and makeup looked AMAZING. Wonderful work! She's also a sweetheart!

    Amanda is so talented and wonderful to work with

    I received the bridal concierge package (includes hair and makeup trial with lashes and airbrush, on-site hair and make up for day of, & 2 hours of touch up services) for $700. I really appreciated how flexible Amanda's packages were and how there was not a minimum number needed for services. From start to finish, Amanda was a dream to work with and incredibly responsive via email. During my trial, she was more than accommodating to any changes I had requested. And though my wedding was a whole 9 months later, on the day of the wedding, she remembered the changes I had wanted or the fact that my hair was very quick to curl but I had wanted looser curls. During the 2 hours of touch-up services, she made sure my hair and makeup were perfect for wedding portraits and she also was great to just hang out with. Having her there on my wedding day made it extra fun and special. And her hair and make-up was STUNNING and it held up so well despite tears or how sweaty we all got on the dancefloor. My make-up looked pristine even the next day. 
    Also, my bridesmaids wanted me to include that they really appreciated Amanda's help. Though I did not get my bridesmaids hair and makeup services, she was incredible and helped one of my bridesmaids with small touch-ups of her eyelashes.

    You won't regret choosing her

    I loved my trial and my wedding day makeup! Both moms, my maid of honor and one of my bridesmaids got their makeup done and they looked beautiful. She was fun to work with!

    Amanda Merrell is Extremely Talented

    Amanda Merrell is an extraordinarily talented beauty artist, and a delightful person to help plan the look for your big day. Future brides and any one else looking for beauty services, please consider booking Amanda - you will not be disappointed.

    I met with Amanda for a bridal preview a few months before my February wedding. My dream look included a hair style with a dramatic braid and make-up with pops of color. Amanda tied all of my ideas together perfectly, in a stunningly beautiful, yet still understated way. The day-of, she re-created the hair and make-up exactly as we had discussed. It was not until Amanda completed her work that I truly felt like "a bride." She also sent me off with a touch-up kit, just in case. My make-up held perfectly, but it was incredibly thoughtful.

    The bridesmaids also looked GORGEOUS. Their dresses were dark green and Amanda created palates that complimented the wintry feel of our wedding. Never once during the wedding did they have to worry - Amanda is such a pro - their hair and make-up also stayed in place all evening.

    I hope you consider Amanda Merrell Beauty Services so she can make your day as special as she made mine.

    Thank you Amanda!!

    Beautiful Makeup and Wonderful People

    Amanda was fantastic! Gorgeous makeup with great suggestions. From my first e-mail up through the wedding day, Amanda helped me figure out my makeup for both my wedding and engagement session. She also did my bridesmaids' and mom's makeup flawlessly. It lasted forever (airbrush) and looked amazing. She was warm, fun, and an absolute pleasure to work with, and recommend her to anyone!

    While getting ready for your wedding can be stressful, Amanda made the experience therapeutic and relaxing. I spent the morning setting an intention of how I wanted the day to be while spending quality time with my mom, sister and bridesmaids. Amanda took care of all of us. I was able to let go of everything I had planned and be fully present in the moment. Her calm, loving presence set the tone for the whole day. Amanda is an extremely talented makeup artist and she made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. She accentuated the natural beauty in me and all of my bridesmaids without drawing attention to the makeup itself. Her attention to detail and love for beauty shows in her work and made the photographers' job easy. We all felt confident and relaxed during pictures. The whole day, from getting ready to the end was the most memorable, joyful day of my life and I will forever be grateful to Amanda for starting our day peacefully and highlighting our beauty.

    Amanda is an amazing and talented makeup artist! I felt so beautiful and so confident at my sisters wedding. She is extremely professional, and really kept all the bridesmaids on schedule! She was relaxed and just had a really cool vibe which made it fun while getting ready. What really impressed me most of all was seeing the finished product for each of the women getting their makeup done. She really knew how to bring out each lady's unique beauty and we all looked flawless! My makeup stayed on the whole night too! She knows how to make you look picture perfect!
    I highly recommend Amanda not just for weddings but for any event if you want to look your absolute best!

    Amanda is a great make up artist. She did a wonderful job on myself and 4 bridesmaids at my wedding. She was timely and professional. I would definitely use her again in the future!

    Amanda was on time, professional, friendly. and best of all, made me look beautiful on my wedding day. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to have a love for what she was doing. My bridesmaids and I recommend her every chance we get.

    Amanda Merrell is an all star! She was a dream to work with from start to finish for my wedding. In addition to doing her research about me and my style to perfect my makeup during my trial, the makeup on my wedding day looked even better. She also collaborated with my hair stylist to build a perfectly timed scheduled on my wedding day so things ran as smoothly as possible. You can't go wrong with Amanda!
