Amber and Portia were so fun to work with! They completed hair and makeup for our entire bridal party and mothers. Their work is high quality and everything was completed on time. They also offer a hair and makeup trial for the bride which helped a lot with preparation for the day of. Talking and hanging out with them the morning of while we were getting the hair and makeup done was so fun! We had a lot of funny conversations like talking about movies and 90 Day Fiance (lol), which helped us feel more relaxed before we headed to the venue. As the bride, I loved my hair and makeup. I got airbrush foundation which stayed in place the entire day and night I was impressed! My hair also stayed in place and kept my veil secured. I'm so glad I booked AP Beauty and would high recommend them!

Portia and Amber were excellent. They accommodated my request to add one more person a few weeks before the wedding, even though it made their schedule tight... and they still made all of us look amazing and flawless.
The day of the wedding I let them know what I wanted tweaked based on our trial and they knocked it out of the park. They were so friendly and easy to work with, and all of my girls loved the work they did.
Highly recommend.

Porsche and Amber were Fantastic. My bridesmaid's makeup were gorgeous. I had to add one more to the list and they were so accommodating. They arrived promptly and finished just in time for the ceremony. All our guests commented on how flawless my makeup was. My bridesmaids/ step daughters all picky with their makeup and were surprised on how good it looked. I was a little nervous about that. Thank you ladies you made us look absolutely GORGEOUS

My experience with AP Beauty was amazing! I needed hair and make done last minute. Luckily they had the date available for a test run and the day of. Timing was on point and I had the option to have the services done at my house or at the venue. Hair and makeup was done efficiently! As I had my hair done, my mom had her makeup done and vise versa. The look was exactly what I asked for!

I can’t explain how amazing, Portia, was with her service. From the trail makeup session to the day of my wedding, Portia, showed amazing beauty skills. She did amazing with my maid of honor, my mother, and my requests. Like I mentioned to her “I have now found my MUA!” Thank you!!!

I hired Portia for makeup and Amber for a makeover for my baby shower. They did an incredible job! I was able to book them on short notice. They were very flexible with their schedule, professional and extremely sweet and nice. I will definitely hire them again.

In my first experience with a hair and make-up artist team, AP Beauty was a dream. They were very easy to work with and had great and prompt communication. In preparation for my special day, I went back and forth with Portia and Amber by providing hair and make-up looks for each member of my bridal party. They knew their stuff and made great suggestions to help make my wedding day run smoothly.
I booked them for a hair and make-up trial the same day as my engagement photo shoot, and when I shared that with them, they both went the extra mile to make me feel glamorous. I definitely recommend AP Beauty for your hair and make-up needs.

I'm not sure if words can really express how grateful I was to have Portia do my makeup for my sister-in-law's wedding. First off, let me say my skin can get oily in some spots pretty quickly such as my forehead and nose, and my cheek tend to become dry. With this combination skin type its difficult to keep my makeup looking fresh for a long period of time. Portia was able to keep that under control and Flawless looking all night! And I love the fact that she mixes the foundations to match perfectly to your unique skin color. She takes pride and what she does! Despite of all the various types of lighting in the room she's determined for emphasizing your special attributes. She is a true talented artist of beauty, I highly recommend her you won't be disappointed!!

Makeup was great, I absolutely loved it! Portia did such a great job; very thorough and detailed. Her perfectionism really made me feel comfortable about my makeup. If she thought something didn't look right, she would change it instantly. I can tell she is very prideful of her work!! I would definitely use her again and refer her to all of my friends and family!

Portia and Amber were amazing. I did a trial before the wedding which was really helpful day of, this way we all knew what worked and what didn't. All 7 of my bridesmaids got either their hair or makeup done and all the girls looked stunning. I would highly recommend AP beauty to anyone.

Portia was amazing! I love her so much I got in contact with her very very early on in my wedding planning and she was so very helpful from the start. She accommodated to me because I couldn't drive to her for our trial of course at a very fair travel fee. Our trial went great and the wedding day was very smooth. She along with amber made a schedule for everyone to get hair and make up done in one for us to be ready and it went so smooth and was stress free so I was very happy and in love with how all my girls looked both hair and make up. I do hope I get to work with these beautiful ladies they truly care for you and all your needs.

I can't express how wonderful this team is!!! They helped my sister and the entire bridal party get ready during our hectic and crazy wedding morning. Amber took my long thick and curly hair and did an amazing up do that last through hours of dance! And Portias air brush makeup lasted through hours of dancing and smiling without ever losing any of the glam factor she gave me! And my sister the beautiful bride was so thrilled with her hair and makeup she couldn't stop smiling about how great it all came out! I will be using them again and will highly recommend them for anyone's special event!!!
