She was also always available for questions from me and was amazing at communicating during every step of the process. I was never worried about any details when it came to hair and makeup. Laurie did an amazing job with my hair and I could not have asked for a better team on my big day. In addition, both Joanne and Laurie were very accommodating in terms of meeting at the hotel and staying within our tight schedule for the day of. I would not hesitate to hire Joanne and Laurie for your big day. Thank you so much for everything! Sincerely, Julia

n of something. On the day of my wedding, she did makeup for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law at one of their houses, then met me, my mother and bridal party at the venue. She made it less stressful and brought everything we used at the trial. I looked beautiful, and am so thankful to her for the great job she did!!! My mother and everyone else who saw Joanne that day was very pleased with the work she did. By the end of the night after hours of fun, none of the makeup faded or wore off. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a makeup artist with plenty of options and colors, and one who is flexible and affordable. Thank you for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day!!

On my wedding day, after a few of us had gotten our makeup done, my mother-in-law decided on the spot that she would get hers done as well since she liked what Joanne had done so much!

en have anything on. Your New Creations product line is really comfortable and long-lasting; especially the powder was great since I didn’t look shiny in the pictures and the powder itself wasn’t visible so that’s really good. Typically when I do my own makeup I have a shiny forehead, but with your powder I didn’t. Also thank you for the pictures, they come out great, you can definitely see the difference in the skin tone before and after. Those were some good before and after pictures you took. Thank you so much, and I’ll definitely recommend you as a make-up artist to anyone I know who is getting married. Plus the price is very affordable so you just can’t go wrong.

Joanne is a wonderful makeup artist. She did all of the makeup for my wedding. She arrived early to set up and waited patiently for us to be ready. She listened to what we wanted and has us check the makeup each step of the way. Our makeup was ...
impeccable and beautifully done. The makeup felt invisible and lasted all day, through every picture and every song we danced through that night. At the end of the night, when I went to wash my face, I looked just as I did first thing that morning. I look forward to using Joanne to do my makeup for future upcoming special events.
Joanne has done my make-up quite a few times now and I must say that she is excellent at bringing out a person's best features. She recently did my make-up for one of the most important days of my life, my Wedding, and she was professional and ...
very easy to work with. She really listens to your requests and is successful at accommodating them. She also takes before and after pictures, which helps to determine, in advance, what you will look like. She made a potentially nerve-wracking experience a very nice and Blessed one! Everyone continually complimented her work and my very special day was a truly wonderful due to Joanne's exceptional talent. She also has a great make-up line which she sells. I especially like her foundation, lipstick, and eye shadows. I highly recommend Joanne as your make-up artist for any occasion.
I wanted to say a BIG Thank You, for the great work Joanne did for all of my bridemaids and myself. Although the sun was not out yet, she arrived ready to work and the girls really loved the way they looked! She uses her own make up line "New C...

As mother of the groom, i.e. an "older woman," I was a greater challenge than many. Joanne made me look 10 years younger and showed a creativity that was exceptional. I would recommend her without reservation.
