About this vendor
Hello! I'm Amelia! I'm a cosmetologist in the sun-shining state of Arizona with an obsession with all things glitter. I live here with my husband and our two daughters. I truly have a passion for what I do and am always integrating new benefits, systems, and services for my brides!
As a recent bride myself, I know how exciting yet stressful wedding planning can be. I offer my brides services that go beyond just glam! Besides making sure a bride and her gals feel glowing, I heavily focus on using products that will keep hair and skin healthy. I also always try to have an answer for any question whether it be about skin care, hair health, beauty, or even other vendor relations or recs!

I cannot rave enough about Amelia! She was absolutely wonderful as my makeup and hair artist for my wedding. She was reliable and communicative in the entire pre planning process, ...
and listened to my vision at our trial. Amelia completely exceeded my expectations! She is such a doll and just all around good vibes. She made the trek to Sedona with another artist for our wedding day to assist with my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well. Everyone loved how they looked! Amelia helped me not just look my best, but feel my best for our big day! She kept me at ease and kept us on schedule the morning of with getting everyone ready. She also helped with fitting my veil into my updo, and took time to show my sister how to take it out later. You NEED Amelia on your wedding day!

en my mother in law loved her look! Amelia is one of the sweetest artists there is! She is always very easy to talk to. She explains everything and each step while doing the hair and makeup. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion. It was truly a delight to work with her!
Amelia did my hair and makeup for an event and it was fabulous! As a mature lady with melasma, Amelia really hit it out of the park with my makeup. I was concerned about my makeup ...
looking cakey and sitting on my skin funny, but it didn't at all and my skin tone was perfectly evened out! Amelia walked me through the skin prep she was doing to help ensure everything would lay down nicely. My hair was simple and gorgeous, I couldn't have ask for anything better. I look forward to the next time I get to work with Amelia!

was taken care of for my wedding day! I had my trial and had a few things I wanted to adjust for the wedding and Amelia delivered. Not only that but my hair and makeup did not move at all the entire night!! I am so glad I got the pleasure of working with Amelia for my wedding day!

way to come back and fix my makeup that was most definitely a me problem. She rescued my day! I would highly recommend her to anyone!! She did both my hair and makeup. As well as 4/5 of my bridesmaids and my MIL
I thought I knew what hairstyle I wanted for my wedding but Amelia did an incredible job of talking me through the style and why it may not work for me. We ended up trying it out a...
nd i found that she was absolutely correct and she worked closely with me to find a new style for the day off. TRIALS are sooo important i would have been crying if this happened day of. I have to say that Amelia has a way about doing hair that is calm and relaxing where some people can pull and tug as they are trying to get your hair in the places they want it. Not Amelia, she is gentle and i was pleasantly surprised that i didnt have to pull out hundreds of bobby pins from my half up style, like i had when i was a bridesmaid at another wedding. She is a perfectionist herself and wants to do an incredible job. Amelia has a kind and understanding heart as well which is so important day of as it can be stressful. When the schedule had to change due to unseen circumstances she missed no beat and went with it still getting everything done on time. She is so patient and much more than a hair/makeup artist. I cannot recommend her more, and all my bridesmaids RAVED about her! Every single person loved her and we all got soo many compliments
She did an amazing job on my hair for my sister’s wedding. I told her my hair will not hold a curl and I’m not sure what magic she did but not one piece of my hair flattened out th...
e whole day/night! It held its shape without looking stiff. She also has such a great energy and is supportive of the bride and the party through the whole getting ready process!
Loved my hair! Loved how she talked about the products she was using. She was also flexible with her time. If she were working in a salon, she would be my new hairstylist.
Amelia is amazing! She did an amazing job on my make up and hair for my wedding. Other than her outstanding work she is the kindest person I know. I had planned my wedding in 3 mon...
ths and ended up booking my make up and hair last minute. Amelia was very flexible and she was able to do my trial run and even did my hair when the person that was supposed to do it backed out. When I say she went above and beyond its an understatement!
Amelia is AMAZING! Not only is she extremely professional but she also gets hair and make up done in a timely fashion!! Not to mention she matched the perfect colors for my skin to...

Amelia always creates breathtaking hairstyles and she was the first person I thought of to do my hair for my wedding. She's really good at keep a conversation going, so it was n...
ever awkward. She's very sweet, makes sure she satisifies her clients' needs, and also makes sure that you, as the client, are comfortable throughout the service. During the whole service, I could just tell that Amelia is very passionate about what she does and she doesn't forget any detail. I have short and thin hair, Amelia was able to make my hair look so voluminous, I felt like a goddess. I'm going to book again when I go on my honeymoon :)
