Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Ladies, if you're looking to boost up your beauty for any of your special occasions, Makela is your girl. She is great to work with and exceptional at her craft. Her customer service is top notch. The moment I had a conversation with her, I instantly felt very comfortable. My hair and makeup were better than I had envisioned. I have nothing but good things to say about her and her work. So ladies, don't skip her, just book her and you won't regret it. -

Charlene T. Sent on 07/02/2024So flexible, down to earth and comfortable to be around.
I had Mekela as my HMUA for my May 2024 wedding and I could not have had a better experience. She was so flexible in my indecisiveness on what I wanted — a normal feeling when you’re a bride!! I did 2 trials and felt completely beautiful on our special day. 100% recommend her. You will have the best experience! -

Sarah Sent on 05/20/2024Exceptional Wedding Makeup and Hair Artist - Highly Recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mekela and I cannot recommend her enough!
From the moment I reached out to inquire about her services, Mekela was professional, attentive, and accommodating. She took the time to understand my vision for my wedding day look and made me feel at ease with her friendly and calming demeanor.
On the day of the wedding, Mekela arrived promptly and fully prepared. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she truly transformed me into the bride I had always dreamed of being. Not only did she enhance my natural features beautifully, but she also ensured that my makeup and hair lasted throughout the entire event.
What truly sets her apart is her passion for her craft and her genuine care for her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident and stunning on my special day, and for that, I am forever grateful.
If you are looking for a wedding makeup artist who is not only skilled and talented but also a joy to work with, look no further than Mekela. I wholeheartedly recommend her (and already have) to any bride-to-be looking for a magical and stress-free makeup and hair experience.
Thank you, Mekela, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. You are truly a gem in the world of makeup and hair artistry! -

She is amazing
She is super gentle, she listens to you about how you want to look and does exactly what you ask, she is super fast, but at the same time she does everything excellent and very professional, and as a person she is very very nice, I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get married, I feel like we couldn't choose a better makeup artist 10/10 -

An amazing makeup artist and such a sweet and genuine human being
She did my hair AND makeup and was very flexible and kind to work with, her products are high end and made to fit any and every client, she was so patient and fun to work with not only for trials but also for my wedding day despite aaallllll the wedding day chaos! She didn’t stop until every detail was perfect! She even offered to let me use her wedding veil since mine was running so late getting here on time! My hair and makeup held ALL NIGHT LONG which is insane because my hair is thick and long but she knew exactly how to make it stay. So kind and so knowledgeable, I would recommend her to ANYONE! -

Mekela is the absolute BEST!
I would HIGHLY recommend Mekela to anyone looking for a wedding hair and makeup artist! She is so friendly, attentive, and absolutely amazing at what she does!
Leading up the the wedding she was quick to respond and happy to provide suggestions. She provided a detailed timeline prior to the wedding day to make sure everyone’s services were listed in order with time blocks including a buffer to make sure we were done on time. On the wedding day she was attentive to everyone’s needs and got us through each person with plenty of time to spare. Everyone loved their hair and makeup!
As the bride, Mekela made me feel like an absolute ANGEL. My makeup and hair were exactly as I had it at my trial but somehow a thousand times better. My hair stayed in place all night and my makeup still looked flawless after many tears and lots of dancing. The final product literally took my breath away! She is the absolute best! Thank you Mekela for making me feel like the most beautiful bride to ever walk down the aisle 🩷 -

Mekela made my day unforgettable! She is masterful, responsive, kind, and affordable. I looked exactly how I envisioned and it was truly remarkable. The most winning combination for a hair and makeup artist I could ever imagine! -

Sarah Sent on 11/04/2023Wonderful!
I loved working with Mekela! She did my makeup and hair for my engagement photos and my wedding day. She also did the makeup for my bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law. She’s super talented and listens to what you want. I loved how my makeup turned out both times. It looked great in photos but I also still looked like my self and felt comfortable in it. Some of my girls wanted a more natural look and she actually gave them that! I’ve been in a few weddings and I’ve see MUA totally ignore that request before. On top of all of that, Mekela is super friendly and caring. Highly recommend! -

Katie L. Sent on 10/20/2023Incredible!
Mekela was a godsend especially since I was doing a destination wedding and had zero idea of who I was going to find to do our makeup. Her and her assistant were exactly what I was looking for! I didn’t even get to do a trial with her but knew i would love anything she did because i studied her work, AND I DID! All of my bridesmaids agreed and said it was their favorite “wedding make-up ever done!” I can’t thank her enough!! -

Reliable, prepared, excellent skills
Meka was an excellent choice for my hair and makeup for my pre wedding photo shoot. She was responsive, kind, flexible, respectful of my time and delivered on the quality of hair and makeup. She made sure that I was able to get my trial done before the day of the event. I felt like an absolute doll and my husband said the makeup was the best he’d ever seen on me. I will be returning to Meka next time I need a top level hair and makeup artist. Plus I had so much fun. She has a calming aura, and asks questions from a genuine place of curiosity. Meka made my wedding week more wholesome. ♥️ -

Highly recommended!!
Mekela was amazing from the very beginning of our communication. I wanted a bouncy blow out but was concerned about that style lasting for 8+ hours. She had a bunch of tips and recommendations to resolve my concerns and I couldn’t have been happier with the final look! My loose curls held all day/night. Seriously at 2am my hair was still perfect- she is truly magical. She also provided hair and makeup for my matrons of honor and a few of my wedding guests, all of which turned out gorgeous. She was timely, professional, talented, and an absolute sweetheart! Don’t think twice about booking her! -

Exceptional!!
Mekela totally exceeded my most hopeful expectations!!!! I am the mother of the groom and had my sisters and niece with me for my son’s wedding. We wanted sophisticated and yet glamorous… with baby fine hair and “seasoned” skin ( except for my niece who is younger) Mekela worked magic on all of us!! Mekela worked w me from the first time I reached out and was very responsive to any inquiry I had. We were coming in from out of town and didn’t have any trial time. She arrived w plenty of time to spend w us and listened to our requests for hair and makeup. She was delightful to chat with and felt like a 4th sister. If you are considering hiring her; book her now! She’s a wonderful and professional artist and person. -

Annemarie Sent on 02/14/2023Mekela is AMAZING!!!
I never wear makeup or do my hair much so I was really hesitant about getting everything done for my wedding. I didn’t want to feel overdone or not recognize myself! Mekela was phenomenal and made sure I felt comfortable and listened to my input at every turn. She made the experience fabulous AND made me look more amazing than I ever imagined - while still looking like me!!! HIGHLY recommend working with her!! -

Mekela was amazing on my wedding day!
She did an amazing job since the trial that we did to the actual wedding day. It was really nice having someone so kind and lovely as her do my make up and hair. She did exactly what I showed her I wanted and left me looking like a princess on my special day. My sister and my mom were in love with their makeup as well and it last us all night long even after many tears.
I will definitely be coming back to her for any special occasion. I really appreciate all her hard work and her attention to all the details. 😊🤍 -

Mekela did my wedding parties hair 01/07/2023. I had three moms, 11 bridesmaids and myself.
During my hair trial, she recommended (with links provided) the specific hair extensions and hair products that would work best for me if I wanted to use them for the day of my wedding.
She was so fun and easy going during the whole process! She made a schedule that worked with each girls request.
Ask about her “Party Pony”!! Her energy, personality and overall kindness and professionalism made my day a breeze. She adapted to timelines and personalities of my film group seamlessly.
Would absolutely recommend her and her talent! -

Mekela was so wonderful to work with. I had a few ideas and she worked with me to make them turn out 100 times better than I could have even imagined! It was a pleasure to meet her and have her be a big part of my special day. I only plan on getting married once, but for any other special occasion I will keep Mekela on speed dial. -
