ght long, even throughout the rain, heavy winds and lots of dancing. Would highly recommend Amber and her team!! They are amazing to work with!

and bridesmaids were all very happy too. You want your bridal team to put you at ease and also deliver the results. Amber did both. I am thrilled to have found her and would recommend her to anyone.

her! We had Amber and her team come as hairstylists, but she also does amazing make up! Amber's communication was so quick and clear - she made the trial and overall scheduling process so easy! She and her assistant did a wonderful job making all of my girls look and feel like the absolute queens they are. I would absolutely work with Amber again in the future! I would love to try her for both hair AND makeup!!

ought my vision to life) and stayed put the WHOLE night with a ton of dancing involved. One of the parts that I appreciated most about Amber was her check-ins throughout the styling. She worked her magic and would make sure it was what I had envisioned before moving on. It made it absolutely perfect and showed that she really cared about her clients. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

make-up trial was a breeze - something every bride looks for (especially one that is not a huge makeup wearer in day-to-day life!). The day of the wedding, she styled my mom, MOH and myself. She was calm, efficient, super fun and was just a blast to have with us the day of my wedding when nerves can run high! Thank you Amber for being a part of our special day!

l of my 10 bridesmaids (and it is unusual to have 10 girls liking their hair and makeup!) Everyone looked beautiful. I don't wear a lot of makeup, so I wanted a really natural look which Amber executed it perfectly. She is so sweet, patient, accommodating, and responsive. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Cannot recommend her enough!

de, I felt so confident and comfortable- She really listens and her work is beautiful. Not to mention, she brings a good energy into the room on your wedding day as everyone is getting ready. I would highly recommend Amber!

tion! My make up looked so natural, smooth and effortless, and it lasted through sweat, tears and a very long day. Amber is such a pleasure to work with and I really hope I have another opportunity to work with her in the future because she is just so amazing at what she does!!

I showed her a few photos of what I was looking for and I got just that and more! Her suggestions throughout made a huge impact and I was SO happy with the result. She now cuts & colors my hair! She is so personable, funny, focused and doesn't rush you.

by a friend of a friend. She was so responsive, warm and friendly when I reached out and immediately put me at ease. At my trial she took the time to look through inpso shots and truly understand what I wanted and executed FLAWLESSLY. Not only is she an amazing hair stylist & makeup artist, but is also so friendly and outgoing and make me feel so at ease on my special day. My wedding truly wouldn't have been the same without her!

and talked for 40 minutes about her wedding (she got married at the same location as me with the same photographer). She made me feel like an elevated version of myself. Getting ready on my day of she made me feel at ease and was so fun to talk with. She is the best!

ails and pictures, and I felt confident she understood what I was looking for. On the day of, I was so impressed with how she handled my hair (I have a LOT of it!), and my 1/2 up, 1/2 down style turned out beautifully. I wanted a more natural makeup look, and she did a really great job with it. I absolutely loved how the hair & makeup came out, and it looked beautiful in my pictures! Would highly recommend Amber!

utiful on my wedding day. She was prompt, patient, and also so fun to have with us while getting ready. I can’t recommend Amber enough!

ack, and so sweet and an absolute pleasure on my wedding day. She also made all of my bridesmaids look absolutely gorgeous. I can’t recommend Amber enough!

talented and was able to bring all of my hair/makeup visions to life. I was worried about looking overdone (especially since I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis) but Amber made me feel so natural. She also went above and beyond to accommodate my 11 bridesmaids, my mom and my grandmother. We had the most relaxing morning getting ready and everyone looked beautiful!! She is a true gem and I cannot recommend her enough!!

the whole experience seamless! On my wedding day, she did an amazing job with my 4 bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law, and my make-up. We were even done early and ready for pictures!! Two of my friends had used her for their weddings and I am so glad I did as well!!

hair AND make up which I feel like people usually are stronger in one. Don't waste time booking her!!

ized, and thoughtful in all the work that she does. My trial was the beginning of the perfection; I felt so beautiful walking out of her salon that day! My mom and aunt also had trial blow outs, and I have never seen their hair look better! My wedding day was even better - my hair was absolute perfection, and I got compliment after compliment about how great it looked. I cannot thank Amber enough for being so much fun to work with and making me feel so beautiful on such a special day!

turn it into the perfect style for me. She was then able to perfectly replicate this trial on wedding day and I'm so thankful. She is so easy to work with, accommodating, and great at what she does. I would highly recommend!

were all so pleased with their work! I knew Amber would be wonderful to work with when I met her for my trial. She was so friendly and easy to talk to! I told her about a few of my concerns and what I was looking for and she knew just what to do. My hair is very thin and can be tricky to work with, but I was so happy with the way it came out! Amber is so talented!! She was even kind enough to work within my budget. The makeup was flawless and was just what I had envisioned. I'm so grateful to Amber for making me look and feel like a princess on my most special day! Highly recommend!!!

s so good at listening and is an extremely talented hair stylist. On the day of my wedding my mother left the chair feeling uncertain about her up-do and Amber redid it without a moment's hesitation and made her feel totally comfortable about not being 100% happy with her hair the first time around. She managed my large bridal party with ease and made every single woman feel spectacular. She gave me the timeless and classic look I wanted and made me feel so confident and comfortable the day of my wedding that everything would run smoothly and was taken care of. Do not hesitate to book Amber for your big day, she is incredible!

ther-in-law feel beautiful and relaxed on the big day. Amber is also patient – I had a change of heart after my up-do was nearly complete, and she calmly worked with me to find a new solution and re-did it with time to spare. She also did my make-up the night before for my rehearsal dinner, which turned out great. I did a hair and make-up trial with her in March (as did my mom and sister) and I’d definitely recommend that as it allowed her to get an early sense of what I did and didn’t like. I would highly recommend Amber and her team to anyone getting married in the area. Thank you, Amber!

ugh. I had a bridal party of 8, as well as myself, my mother, and my flower girl. Amber and her team did such a beautiful job on each and every girl's hair and makeup, but mostly importantly, made everything run smoothly!! I cannot believe how quickly they worked and efficiently, while still providing quality, and beautiful hair and makeup! It made my wedding morning so stress free, on top of the fact that they were so nice and just like part of our group! I was beyond pleased with how my makeup came, and all of the girl were happy as well! Amber provides a great service, not only in the hair and makeup she provides, but in how she works and helps make the day stress free! She is the best!

even came out to do a second trial when I had a change of heart about what I wanted. On my wedding day, Amber absolutely nailed it! My hair was perfect! My wedding day turned out to be 95 degrees out and all of our updos lasted all day long and still looked like a million bucks that evening! She is an amazing listener and unbelievably flexible. She was even able to fix my husband's hair when it wasn't cooperating with the humidity! Choose Amber, you won't regret it!

est of the best products on me and all my girls. We stayed AHEAD of schedule on wedding day (a brides dream come true) and everyone looked absolutely stunning. She can provide every look imaginable from natural to MAC-y runway glam and I personally wanted somewhere in between. She doesn’t need much direction in the sense that I just gave her an idea of what I wanted and she NAILED IT. I would 100% recommend Amber and her team for wedding day make-up or any event for that matter. 5 stars and then some!!!

vely to work with, and I had the best time with her during both my trial and getting ready with her day of. She runs a tight ship, and made sure we were always on schedule and ready for pictures in time, but still is the most fun to get ready and chat with! She did such an amazing job adapting to what all of the different girls wanted, and had super helpful recommendations, especially for my hair since I had pretty big floral hair clip that needed to be worked in. I never have hair/makeup done, and wanted to make sure I still felt like myself, so I couldn't have asked for a more perfect job from Amber. I felt so comfortable, but also beautiful, and I am so thankful that I was able to work with such a kind, talented artist!

mother since she is a hairdresser, but I found Amber on instagram and figured I would get a trial and see how I liked it. Not only was Amber super accommodating with trial dates and time, when the day are and I was in the chair, she asked so many questions on how I wanted to look and feel on that day. When she was doing the trial you could tell how dedicated she was into creating something special for me. I opted for a having my hair up at the nape of my neck due to having a somewhat backless dress and stressed to Amber how I never wear my hair up, she came up with one of the most elegant, texturized low "updo" for me. Even when I was unsure about if I wanted the pieces that are pulled back curly or straight she had no problem taking pieces out and changing things up (even after the initial hairdo was done). That was just the trial! I was thrilled and couldn't wait to see how my hair came out on my wedding day. Now for the wedding day, I decided I wanted a little change to what we had done in the trial and Amber knocked it out of the park. She was so kind, asked so many questions for not only myself but other girls getting their hair done to make sure it was exactly what they wanted. Even my mother, who is one of the pickiest people ever, was so estatic with how her hair turned out. I can't wait to go see Amber to get my hair done again!! I wish she could have come and enjoyed the rest of the wedding day because she was just so amazing. Please book her for your special day!!

the hairstyles all lasted through some pretty crazy dance moves! Similarly, with makeup she took each girl's thoughts and made everyone pop in such a spectacular way. We all still looked like ourselves, with some added pops and amazing eyes, allowing everyone to stand out!

tly and with what looked like complete ease! I felt so beautiful on my day and she made me feel like myself. I didn't look in the mirror and go AH, who is that?! Amber is the way to go, no questions asked. Thank you, Amber!

made sure we began hair and makeup so we would not be late and rushing to the ceremony. She traveled to my house so we did not have to go out the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids were shocked about how well their hair and makeup were done! My bridesmaids stated multiple times that when they get hair/makeup done, they are never completely happy but this was the first time they loved everything. My hair and makeup was absolutely perfect. Amber is meticulous and makes sure everything was perfect! My hair and makeup lasted all night. Amber is definitely one of the best vendors for hair/makeup. She specializes in weddings and photo shoots so she knows what she is doing! Loved her so much and I am looking for an excuse for her to do my hair and makeup again! :-)
