  Amazing!!!

  I’m not even sure where to start…Heidi and Savannah were so amazing and professional! From my makeup trial to the big day, they exceeded all of our expectations! There were five in our party and everyone looked so good. I can’t thank them enough! Heidi is also one of those rare people you meet who becomes an actual friend for life ❤️
  I highly recommend Heidi and Savannah for make up and hair for any occasion.
  
  Side note: Heidi also did my nails, which turned out lovely-she has many hidden talents! You will love her as much as I do!

  Fantastic, Especially on Stressful Day!

  I had a specific vision in my head & Heidi delivered! My hair and makeup lasted all night & I got many complements! She also was so lovely to work with and so sweet! I couldn’t ask for anything better.

  More Excited then the Bride

  One thing I love about working with her was she got more excited about my hair and make up then I did. She made the morning of my wedding so special.
  The back story is that she was my second trial. She was able to take pictures of someone else's work, take my feedback and create something that was more then I could have ever come up with on my own.

  Bridal party hair and makeup

  Heidi and Erin were amazing! The hairstyles were stunning. My matron of honor and I don't normally wear a lot of makeup so we asked for light and natural looking. Erin did a wonderful job! My girlfriends loved her work so much that several of them asked for eyelashes! They were accommodating, professional and fun. Thank you so much!

  Best Hair Stylist for Weddings and Every Day

  Heidi has been coloring and cutting my hair for years. When I booked my wedding date, Heidi was the next person I called to book for my wedding. Heidi is absolutely amazing. She is not only incredibly talented with making hair look beautiful, but she is one of the kindest, most accommodating, funny people I know. I would like to provide some context on how amazing Heidi was at my wedding- first, Heidi arrived before 7am on a Sunday morning in the pouring rain to come put curlers in my hair. Since we had more than 6 girls who wanted their hair done we started really early in the morning. Everyones hair looked amazing, Heidi was patient, listened to each girls request and then exceeded their expectations. I highly recommend Heidi for your wedding and also if you live in Rochester, I recommend her for coloring, cutting, and styling hair too. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

  Elegant event styling

  I have known Heidi for many years, she styled my prom hair 12 years ago! It only made sense that she work with me on my wedding day. She is not only professional and experienced, but extremely kind and easy to communicate with. She did an amazing job with hair for 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and my bridal hair. Everyone received so many compliments all day long! She worked well with all different hair types (short, long, thick, and super thin), and each style was so unique and beautifully done. Our makeup was done by Sara and she was FANTASTIC! She is super versatile and matched everyone’s makeup with their preferences and skin/hair tones. Would highly recommend for someone looking for an experienced hair/makeup team.

  Heidi was absolutely fabulous, from initial contact to trial to big day, and everything in between. I only had a one-day window to be able to do my trial, and Heidi made the day and time I needed work without question. When I went for my trial, I explained vaguely what I wanted (curly, half-up) - and she made magic happen, transforming my ambiguous instructions into something stunning and completely me. She definitely "got" me and what I was going for - executing a vision I didn't even know I had. Between the trial and the wedding Heidi quickly responded to any question I had, big or small (e.g. can I wear a hair piece if I'm wearing a veil?), and we were able to coordinate everything for wedding day (e.g. schedule for the bridesmaids) with ease. She was a rockstar on the actual day. All 5 of my bridesmaids whose hair Heidi did were thrilled with their do's. They looked beautiful - as did I. I truly felt like a million bucks. No, that's a lie - a trillion! Heidi went above and beyond, completely re-doing one of my bridesmaids' hair as Heidi wasn't 110% happy with the outcome, when the bridesmaid hadn't even asked for it! I can't recommend Heidi highly enough. My only regret is that I can't have her do my hair every day!

  I could not say enough good things about Heidi! Not only did a I have a lot of fun during my hair trial and getting ready for my big day, she went above and beyond of what was expected of her. A week before my wedding, my make-up artist backed out and I reached out to Heidi, and within a couple hours she found me a replacement. She did not have to help the way she did but she helped make my wedding day more special with her desire to see my wedding go on without a hitch. The make-up artist (Nancy) was just as amazing as Heidi. Both ladies did eight ladies hair and make-up, and they all turned out beautifully. I had so much fun getting to know Heidi and Nancy, they are funny, kind, and passionate about their work and most importantly their work is exceptional, if I ever need a make-up artist or a fun hair-do for the night out on the town, I would go to these ladies without a doubt. Thank you for everything you both did, you are both amazing!

  Heidi did an amazing job with mine and my bridesmaid hair. I was able to meet with Heidi a couple of weeks before and tried a few different styles. Together we found an amazing style that not only flattered my face but went amazingly with my dress. Day of the wedding she even was able to come to my hotel and work her hair style magic. Heidi is the best! Thank you!

  Heidi was willing to come to me to complete my hair the day of my wedding. I completed a trial run two weeks prior at her salon. From there Heidi tweaked a few things and it looked absolutely stunning! Highly recommend!

  Heidi was fabulous! She did my hair as well as my bridesmaids and mother and it was fabulous. My hair stayed in all night and looked just as good. She was great to work with and very accommodating. She came right to my hotel and was great company while she was there! One of my bridesmaids actually had her hair still intact the next day and it didn't look to shabby after a night filled with celebrating!

  Heidi did my wedding party's nails (fingers and toes) and not only was her meticulousness and attention to detail unmatched, but she also made us laugh! She ensured nails to perfection (which every bride must have) and an enjoyable experience! Thank you Heidi for making the experience A-mazing! I would recommend her services to one and all!

  Heidi is amazing and gave me exactly the look I wanted for both my rehearsal and wedding day hair. She even did my hair for my mom's wedding. I brought in a picture of the updo I wanted and she was able to recreate it masterfully. She always makes me look and feel like a moviestar!

  Heidi did my hair as well as my daughter's & stepdaughter's for my wedding...all three of us were really happy w/the way our styles came out! We all had different styles (up, down, & half up/down) & they lasted the entire evening looking just as good as they did fresh out of Heidi's hands. I'd highly recommend Heidi for whatever style you're interested in!
