Awful communication and no service
My experience began well enough until she rescheduled my trial and then cancelled on the same day and ghosted me. Complete lack of communication and all a month before my elopement. It was incredibly stressful and I wasted so much money and time since I had to travel to Seattle for my trial. Clearly, this vendor needs to learn how to communicate and be prepared to make it up to her clients when she is not able to provide the service

Exceptionally Talented and Kind
Ari was incredible with executing my wedding hair vision and helping my bridal party all feel beautiful (she did 6 different requested hairstyles). I didn't hire her for makeup as one of my bridesmaids had offered to do it. However, Ari noticed that my makeup was not looking like I wanted it to and she professionally/politely offered to fix it to help me achieve the natural/dewy look I wanted. She was kind enough to step in even though I hadn't hired her for makeup services, since she cares about her clients. She went above and beyond what she was hired for. Ari is kind and easy to talk to, so she was wonderful to have around while we all got ready. I highly recommend Ari for wedding hair and makeup!

Excellent experience
Ari is just as lovely of a human as she is a makeup artist. She is super patient, actually listens, easy to work with, and is clearly dedicated to her craft. She even helped time my trial run with another event I had coming up. She nailed both days of my wedding weekend, and the extra stylist she brought for my family was also amazing. Everyone loved their experience and how their hair and makeup turned out. We all felt and looked beautiful. I’d book her again in a heartbeat for future events.

A Wedding Day Nightmare
I had an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience working with this makeup artist. She hired me as a makeup artist to assist at a wedding, but she failed to provide any information about the bride’s makeup. She never shared the trial photos, never explained the desired look, and gave me no instructions whatsoever. To make matters worse, she never showed up on the wedding day. The bride spent the entire morning in tears because the makeup artist she had booked simply didn’t arrive. I had to step in and do the bride’s makeup with no preparation or guidance to make sure her wedding day wasn’t completely ruined. After the wedding, she disappeared and refused to pay me for my work. She also failed to pay the hairstylist she had hired for the same wedding. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. Failing to communicate, abandoning a bride on her wedding day, and refusing to pay the professionals you hire is completely unethical. I would strongly caution anyone considering working with or booking this makeup artist. My experience was stressful, unfair, and incredibly disappointing.

Stood up on my wedding day
My wedding day was ruined by Velvet and Venus. The owner never showed up and didn't communicate with me at all, leaving me to figure out what was happening on my own. She sent a backup team instead, but they were communicating with her while ignoring me completely. When I asked what happened, the backup team told me there was no emergency—she simply couldn't be bothered to show up. They were so upset about the situation that they told me they won't work for her again. I cannot recommend this business to anyone.
