    I met Melissa Marie for the first time on the morning of my wedding. I live in NY but am from the Bay Area, and our wedding was in Carmel Valley. Leading up to the wedding, I had 2 hair trial appointments at my regular salon in Manhattan, because I wasn't going to be able to do a trial with anyone in CA, but I wanted to see how I liked a few different looks. I didn't like the first one, & the second I liked from the back but felt the front looked a bit too "plastered" or stiff. Using photos from both hair trials and lots of inspiration pictures, I put together a Pinterest board of looks I liked. Then on my wonderful planner's reco (Heidi of Coastside Couture), I looked at makeup artist Sarah Nicole - who works with Melisa Marie for hair. I really liked most of the styles I saw, and booked them. The morning of my wedding, we did an outdoor yoga practice at my venue that ran late and meant we started hair & makeup a bit behind schedule. Melisa made me feel totally calm and comfortable, gave me a more powerful dryer than the one the venue provided, and I was able to shower, wash and dry my hair with her assurance that everything would work out fine. Once in the chair, we reviewed the photos of what I wanted and discussed the fact that I was most concerned with how the front of my hair (around my face) would look. She confirmed that we could try more than one part if I didn't love the way it fell with out messing anything up with the updo. Once she had the basic shape and part in place, she asked me to check it up close in the big mirror, and then totally understood that I wanted to look at it in the bathroom (my bridesmaids and mother, etc. were in the room also & I needed to check in with my own opinion without the excitement/influence of everyone), and even stopped as we went along to come with me and check it out in the bathroom. I absolutely loved what she did, it was exactly what I wanted - the back I'd shown her, and a front that was flattering & not plastered.

    Melissa did such an awesome job with my hair. Her personality is amazing, she is funny, sweet, and became an instant friend. She put me at such ease, and her presence alone helped so much the day of the wedding which is full of stress. She was extremely adaptable, and her services went far beyond what I expected. Melissa really listens to you, and how you want your hair, and will guide you if you don't know. Overall she is outstanding, if I ever need my hair done again I will be coming right back!

    Sarah was recommended to me during my search for someone to do my wedding makeup and hair. I found her last minute, and she was able to fit me in for a trial right away. She was super nice, and accommodating. I am very picky about my makeup, and Sarah really listened to everything that I said. My wedding makeup turned out absolutely perfect. Hair was great too! It was so nice to find someone that could do both (and do both very well). Sarah came to my location, and I didn't have to stress about anything. She is fun, sweet and professional. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Highly, highly recommend!

    I contacted a couple of different makeup artists and Sarah was not only the fastest to respond, but the most accomodating with planning her day around my needs.

    I hired her to do my hair and makeup for my wedding on 12.29.12. I am 42 and have chin length, stick straight hair. She was able to create what looked like an *up do* and I had many comments about how fantastic my hair looked. In addition, she did a wonderful job on my makeup, which was glamourous, yet natural. I still looked like myself in all of the photographs taken, both inside and outside. I really love how she does the individual eyelash extensions. I didn't do a trial run and simply told her to do her job any which way she wanted and I was truly thrilled. Very happy to refer her as she is the utmost professional.

    I was looking for THE perfect make-up artist for my wedding, and after looking at my friend's wedding pictures, I knew Sarah would be the one to make me look my best. She is very talented, sweet, extremely organized and communicates fantastically. She simply does an amazing job. Not only did the pictures turn out perfectly beautiful, all the make up was very light and looked completely natural - bringing out my best features. The same goes for all the ladies in my bridal party. Everyone was so happy and impressed and I will certainly be using her for any future events. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Sarah was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in August 2012. I was questionning whether to attempt to do it myself or to treat myself to a professional and i am so glad i chose to.

    Sarah is talented, fun, professional and knew exactly what i wanted. She was able to create the look i dreamed of and i cant thank her enough. Everyone was complementing all day how fantastic my hair and makeup were, it was beautiful without looking over the top. Really natural and elegant and i have no regrets at all in choosing her!

    I would definitely recommend her for you wedding or event.

    Sarah Murphy did my and my partner's make-up for our wedding, and her work was flawless! We had a morning wedding, and she was more than willing to come to our hotel to complete our make-up onsite at the crack of dawn. She was prepared, professional, and attentive to our needs. It was such a relief to know we were in good hands, and we were going to look beautiful without the stress of trying to do it ourselves. I would highly recommend Sarah and Reflective Artistry for your next event.

    Sarah is amazing. She made me look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. She did my make up as well as my bridesmaids and my mom. The make up lasted all day ( even with tears). She is the sweetest person. She was very punctual and had a lot of patience with me. When the wedding nerves were getting the best of me she popped a bottle of champagne and helped me smile and relax. Sarah has done my make up several times now and I know I can always count on her to make me look beautiful. I'd recommend her to any and everyone.

    Makeup Artist Sarah Nicole's reply:

    I really enjoyed working with Tracy. I had never met her before and through my work with her we were able to gain a friendship. Thank you so much Tracy for the kind words. It was so great getting to be a part of your special day and I'm so glad we are friends now! Can't wait to do your makeup again

    Sarah made me feel so beautiful the day of my wedding. Not only was one of my bridesmaid in the wedding she also took the time to do other make-up for my other bridesmaids as well as my mom. Everyone thought she did fabulous work! I appreciated all the time she spent with me making sure my make-up was exactly how I wanted and that I felt comfortable. I highly recommend Sarah and her work.

    Makeup Artist Sarah Nicole's reply:

    Thank you Melissa. You are so sweet and I was so honored to be a part of your special day! I love you guys!!

    Make Up was amazing. Worked well with what we all wanted and listened. Hair was good, only complain is he didn't do a braid in my hair when he asked me what I wanted. He said he doesn't do braids...

    Sincerely
    Sarah
