    Great product and amazing service!

    For how many ladies Joy had to do hair and makeup on I was astonished how well Joy and her team did, she brought 2 other girls, both for hair. I arrived at 9:00 am and my hair and make up lasted until Midnight. All of the bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom and other various relatives were thrilled with their makeup and hair. I can't thank Joy enougt for doing such an amazing job!!!!

    Beautiful through and through

    Joy was such a wonder to work with. She was extremely flexible and understanding, even in a time crunch. She handled everything smoothly and made me feel more beautiful than I ever thought I could be. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Joy without a second thought.

    Beautiful Work

    It was a pleasure working with Joy. After showing her several images of makeup styles I liked, she was able to give me a look I loved. She was flexible and accommodating when I changed the location where I got ready. I totally felt like a star with all the pampering and beautifying and couldn't be happier the final result.

    Finding Joy was such a stroke of luck! Her work was exemplarily--her interpretation of my inspiration photos was spot on, and I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world. She was friendly, professional, and very responsive--her work really added that special touch of magic to my day.

    I had a wonderful experience hiring Joy and my bridal hair & makeup artist

    Joy was just wonderful to work with! We planned our wedding remotely and after speaking with several hair and makeup artists, it was an easy decision to choose Joy to be a part of my special day.

    Her client process is excellent! She suggested a phone call to discuss my vision several months in advance and I'd sent her a few inspiration photos. She was super flexible and accommodating with my hair and makeup trial before the big day and squeezed me in once I arrived in town.

    Further, Joy's talent is simply unparalleled - she understood and executed what I was envisioning during the trial and I knew I was in good hands for my big day. I was honestly blown away. I couldn't have been more pleased, and she's also just fun to be around! I received so many compliments on my wedding day and I'm so grateful Joy was a part of making that happen!

    Wonderful Artist to Work With!

    Joy was awesome to work with. She was professional, listened to what each of my attendants wanted regarding their make-up styles, and was extremely sweet with my flower girl (who was really nervous). Her flexibility and communication was superb! When we needed to reschedule our make-up trial, I really felt like Joy offered multiple options so that we could make it work. Totally recommend!!!!

    True to her name, Joy was an absolute joy to work with. She made getting ready fun and stress-free, not to mention the fact that she did a phenomenal job with everyone's makeup. I was blown away by her and highly recommend her for your special day.

    Joy does it all!!

    Joy did a phenomenal job on my bridal makeup as well as my four bridesmaids and mom. She traveled from Whitefish to Bozeman for my big day and her pricing was very reasonable. There were even some issues with the hotel arrangements and she handled it with patience and grace! The skin tones across my bridal this group range from very fair to very deep, which made me very nervous when seeking a makeup artist. Joy handled it masterfully and everyone looked SO good! I was nervous about my eyebrows and lipstick as I am very particular on these things in my daily makeup wearing. Joy listened to my concerns and was very flexible in ensuring I had my dream bridal makeup! I would absolutely recommend her, especially for bridal parties with diverse skin tone ranges!

    Wedding Hair and Makeup

    Joy was absolutely a pleasure to work with! Very responsive and flexible and also super personable and just all around fun to hang out with. I was very happy with her lash extensions and prep work during the trial, and she did an exquisite job interpreting my inspiration photos! I felt like an elven princess afterwards!

    Amazing!!!

    Joy was extremely sweet and knew exactly what I wanted! She did an amazing job with my spray tan (no orange!!🤩), my makeup and my hair! I’m glad I chose her to help make me feel like a princess on my big day, I’d recommend 10000 times!

    The best makeup artist!

    Joy was so wonderful to work with from the moment I reached out to her. She was quick to reply and gave me a phone call to talk about my vision, my daily makeup, and ask about any allergies or sensitivities and was very professional. She did an awesome job on me at my trial, and on wedding day me and my four bridesmaids all raved about how great our makeup and lashes were. She kept everything on schedule on wedding morning and was even able to add in some makeup for the flower girl. She had us ready with time to relax before we had to start pictures. On top of that, she was so sweet and brought a calming presence to wedding morning! I am so glad I hired her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for wedding day makeup in the Glacier area!

    Mother of the Bride

    Absolutely amazing women. They listened to everyone’s ideas for hair and did exactly what the girls asked for. The makeup was done perfect for each girl, they were so receptive to everyone’s input and took into consideration each girls opinion. It was also wonderful that they came to the location in the middle of nowhere half way up a mountain, made it so convenient for all us to stay on location the entire day!

    Amazing at what she does!!

    Joy is absolutely amazing at what she does! Very fun to visit with while getting your service done and she is very professional and uplifting! She did my wedding hair and makeup and I couldn’t have asked for it to be any more perfect! She also does my lash extension and with them being very well taken care of I can go 3 weeks before a fill!

    Wedding makeup

    I was so glad I chose Joy to do my wedding makeup! She did a awesome job and was kind while doing it. My husband and I eloped from NC so there was a lot of trust booking with someone I did not know, and I am thankful I went with Joy. She made me feel right at home when she did my makeup and made me feel so pretty. I would definitely recommend her to do your makeup for any occasion!

    Amazing amazing amazing

    I cannot say enough great things about Joy. I had a very last minute elopement with plans that kept changing and Joy was incredibly understanding and able to accommodate the craziness. She did an absolute beautiful job with my hair and makeup. Listened throughout the day and made adjustments as needed- also just the sweetest gal! Felt so beautiful and bridal day of! Everyone commented on my makeup in pictures and how beautiful it looked.

    Wonderful experience!

    Joy was very responsive leading up to my elopement. I didn't live in the area so I wasn't able to do a trial, but we were able to schedule a call to go everything before my wedding day. Joy had me create a Pinterest board so she was clear on my look and discussed hair extensions that I could bring with me to help make everything perfect. She was also very reasonable in cost and came to our cabin where we were staying to do my hair and makeup. It was a seamless experience and you shouldn't hesitate to book her for a wedding or an elopement!

    Happy Face

    Elegance by Joy Renee, did an amazing job on my hair and makeup services for my engagement shoot in MT. I live in MN, she made the communication very easy and came on site at the hotel I was staying at which was very convenient. She also requested I send a photo of myself to help find a look that will fit my face. I was really happy with the look she came up with and my photos turned out great. The reason for the 4 stars on value is her pricing is high and maybe out of budget for some.

    Externally Talented Makeup Artist!

    I hired Joy when my photographer recommended her. I needed someone who could do my bridal wedding day makeup and Joy was the perfect match! Joy is incredibly talented and even though I don’t know much about makeup she was able to pull off a stunning look for my trail, wedding day, and day after photos. If you have a vision she will be able to bring it to life. If you aren’t quite sure what you want- her creativity is amazing!

    My wedding reception was postponed to 2021 due to COVID and I hired Joy again to do my makeup one last time. She made my bridesmaid and I look amazing! Thank you, Joy, for everything!

    Gorgeous work!

    Joy was so sweet and enjoyable to have around on my wedding morning. She worked with me beforehand to find the right look because I wasn't sure what I wanted. My makeup for the wedding was beautiful but the eye makeup didn't hold up completely since it was an unusually hot day (and I may have cried a little) - Joy thoughtfully provided a little kit for blotting and touch-ups so I really appreciated having that. Everything else lasted well even through the incredible heat and incessant dancing! Over-all I'm happy with how things turned out. She does a great job with color (I wish I could do my own eyeshadow like that!) and I felt beautiful. She also did a great job with my mother-in-law's makeup!
