After several sessions, my scalp is now completely healthy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! On top of that, their blowouts are amazing. My hair always looks beautiful, and I leave the salon feeling confident, refreshed, and truly cared for.

As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!”

“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate at Jasmine & Co. I was feeling a little overwhelmed going into my wedding day especially since I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted for my hair. But Kate was so calming and professional and I think one of the favorite parts of the day was getting my hair and makeup done! She nailed the makeup look I had in mind, I showed her a few inspiration photos and somehow she brought it all together in a way that looked even better than I imagined and the makeup held up perfectly all day. What impressed me even more was how she styled my shoulder-length hair. I didn’t have a solid reference photo to work from, but Kate worked her magic and created the most beautiful soft, romantic style that felt so me. I got so many compliments and I have been even trying to replicate what she did so I could have something like my 'wedding hair' at other events. She also did makeup for a few of my family members, and they all loved their looks too. Everyone looked polished and radiant, but still totally like themselves.

“I was lucky enough to work with Josiah and Paige for my wedding in February and they were outright amazing. I had zero issues working with them. I don't mean that in a way where there were small things I didn't like but looked over-NO. I truly had zero issues with both of them or any of the people on their team for the day of hair and make up services. Before my big day, I booked two separate hair and make up trials where I asked for completely different things and at either trials they both arrived on time and did exactly the look I asked for. Then, the WEEKEND OF my wedding I realized I couldn't exactly pick between the two different looks and I humbly asked if Josiah could somehow combine the two looks from my trials for a "soft glam" look and he delivered. I have never felt so pretty. Same exact situation with my hair. Josiah and Paige were so patient and friendly and kind! There team worked quickly and efficiently on the day of my wedding to do hair and make up for most of my bridal party plus my mother and my mother in law- and a surprise person who changed her mind from doing her own make up to asking for it done! We even got little personalized touch up kits to reapply any lipstick or pin up any additional hair. I highly highly recommend this team of amazing professionals. I never leave review s for anything but they all should be recognized for their dedicated work. Thank you forever to this team, specifically Josiah and Paige who helped me look and feel so beautiful on my special day.”

“Adrianne has done my makeup for several occasions- as a guest for my cousin’s wedding, as a bridesmaid for my brother’s wedding and my own wedding. For every occasion I told her my concerns, what areas I would really like focused on and what could have more coverage and she would get it right all the time. Each time I had my makeup done with her I received so many compliments! It is always a pleasure to work with Adrianne and I hope in the future I have more occasions to get my make up done again by her.”

“Tasha Makeup Artistry was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was responsive, professional, and incredibly organized. Natasha did a wonderful job creating a detailed timeline for the full day and was quick to make any necessary adjustments when we needed to pivot. She kept in constant touch leading up to the big day and checked in on key dates as promised. The quality of Tasha's work was truly outstanding - meticulous, high-end, and left me feeling absolutely stunning. Natasha also jumped in to help with hair and makeup for my future in-laws, showcasing her versatility and willingness to go above and beyond. I cannot recommend Tasha Makeup Artistry enough for their exceptional service and beautiful results.”

“I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!”

“Tiffany and her team did such an incredible job on hair and makeup for my wedding, I would definitely recommend her to anyone! To start off, she spent so much time with me for the trial (more than planned), making sure we had a chance to try a couple different things without any rush, which was so helpful. On my actual wedding day I loved everything she did, and my new husband said I looked like a movie star! I liked the trial looks when we did them, and Tiffany genuinely listened and understood what I wanted to tweak. When the big day came and we had the details set from the beginning, everything came out looking even better. She specializes in a natural-but-enhanced look and really nailed it - I didn’t feel or look like I was caked in makeup, I just looked like the absolute best version of myself! Trying to find pictures to include here I struggled to find ones that seemed like they were showing off the makeup - but that's kind of the point. The makeup wasn't super showy (exactly as I wanted), it just made me look really great in every picture! And this is from someone who often doesn't like pictures of myself. The other artists she brought for our officiant and moms (both in the pictures I'm including) also did a great job. They handled mature skin, thick/unruly hair, and curls beautifully. I’ve never seen my mom’s shoulder length curly hair look so good! They were also great company all morning, which is so important.”
