Ariel Johnson Makeup Artist

All I can say is WOW! Ariel seriously is wonderful! She was the sweetest person to work with and was absolutely amazing with hair! She truly made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. She also did an amazing job doing my bridesmaids hair as well, they all looked absolutely stunning! She is to easy to talk to and communicate with and really spent the time looking at photos and getting everything just right. She is phenomenal!

I wish I could give Ariel 10 stars! I have never felt so beautiful. As this was a destination wedding, I went in without a trial, and was a bit nervous. Ariel listened to my vision- I didn't even have pictures to show, and she made me up (hair and makeup) flawlessly. My bridal party was also incredibly pleased. The makeup lasted through the sun and the wind. Somehow, with her magic, I still looked amazing 8 hours later. Her calm and sweet demeanor made my anxiety disappear. I can't thank you enough Ariel, and I highly recommend any and all brides reach out.

I was nervous about my hair and make up for my wedding, I wanted to feel like myself and not too made up. Ariel found the perfect look that made me feel like the best version of myself. After my trial I felt so relieved and so excited for the big day! The day of Ariel was great, she was flexible and a calming presence. She also did my bridesmaid and the two mothers and everyone was very happy.

Ariel is a gem! She is talented, patient, sweet, and such a pleasure to work with. I felt comfortable telling her what I wanted because she is so understanding, and clearly wants to make sure you are happy. And you will be, she is such a talent! She did makeup for my whole party as well as my hair. She brought along a great team to help with hair. The morning felt calm and not at all rushed because she budgets just the right amount of time. I am so, so glad Ariel was part of our day, she was a huge part in starting the day off just right!

Ariel did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August as well as all the makeup for my six bridesmaids. She is incredibly talented! I love her style and she did an amazing job. Everyone looked wonderful throughout the entire wedding, and that is saying a lot because it was humid and raining for a lot of the day! Ariel is such a caring, calm, and sweet person I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her during my trial as well as the morning of the wedding. I would recommend Ariel over and over again!

Ariel is talented, honest, and personable. I am so glad I booked her services for my wedding last month. When I first booked Ariel in summer 2016, I had no idea of my plans for my wedding a year later - I just had a date and a venue, and I knew I wanted to use her services. Ariel was flexible in working with me and staying in touch over the course of the year. I did my trial two days before my wedding, and she was so lovely to me and my mom. Ariel took the time to explain things, answer questions, and provided great feedback. The morning of the wedding, she and her helpers from Bonnie's A Cut Above were fantastic - they were relaxed, skilled and chatty. Ariel is a winner, and she made me feel beautiful for my wedding.

Ariel was my hair stylist and makeup artist for my wedding day on September 24, 2016 in Southport, Maine. She is amazing! She was easy to communicate with during planning, always quick to answer questions, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. We did a hair and makeup trial about a month before my wedding so we got to meet and I instantly loved her down-to-earth personality and enthusiasm. She was so nice and I felt so comfortable with her. Plus, I absolutely loved the airbrush makeup and hair style that she did on me and didn’t need to change a thing! On the day of the wedding, she made sure to stick to the timeline and got everyone finished in the perfect amount of time. It was so fun getting ready in the morning with my bridesmaids, and Ariel fit right in with us! All 6 of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup- she made everyone feel beautiful! Ariel is so talented and I feel so lucky that I got to work with her. I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Ariel for wedding makeup. I recently used her for myself and my entire wedding party and could not be happier. She was excellent. She was able to accommodate girls with very specific requests who brought pictures, and girls like me (the bride) who didn't have a clue. She was very easy to work with leading up to the wedding day, prompt ,organized, and professional. She was also super nice and pleasant to be around. I went last and she asked me candidly if I thought everyone was happy with their looks because she was sensitive to the fact that sometimes people have a hard time saying they are unhappy. But she was great, and everyone was happy.

Where do I begin? Our entire experience with Ariel was amazing. From great communication on her part, to our trial sessions, everything went smoothly for us. When it came to our wedding day, I was a bit stressed about the schedule, but Ariel knew exactly how much time she needed to complete two brides and a bridesmaid. Honestly, it felt like she was just one of our dearest friends as we laughed and talked while getting ready. She kept us calm, her work is amazing, communication is great and overall she is a kind and wonderful person. We are so happy that we got to work with her for our special day!

Ariel is amazing! I planned my Maine wedding from Boston and she was so accommodating with my schedule--the only time I could do a trial was Easter Sunday and she was happy to make it work! She's so easy to work with and quick to respond to email that I never felt like I needed to follow up or check in. On the day of the wedding, she did an incredible job with the hair and makeup for myself and 5 other people--she worked so efficiently with our schedule and everyone was gorgeous and ready to go right on time. I changed my hair decision from the trial at the last minute, and Ariel was happy to work with the new style and did an absolutely amazing job executing it. And, she made beautiful custom hairpins that complemented my dress perfectly. My makeup was flawless and stayed in place through the after party; and even after taking it all out and sleeping on it the night before, my hair looked great at brunch the next morning! I highly, highly recommend Ariel--she is not only incredibly talented and great at what she does, but she's so warm and kind that it felt like I had another friend getting ready with me on my wedding day.

Ariel is fabulous. She came highly referred through a friend of a friend. She is very professional and accommodating. She did hair and make-up for 5 of us on my wedding day and moved from cabin to cabin helping everyone look their best. I loved my airbrushed make-up and lashes! The make-up wasn't too heavy in broad daylight and looked great in photos. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again for any future events! thanks Ariel

I cannot say enough about how great it was working with Ariel. I had her do my hair and makeup for my engagement photos as well as my wedding. She was extremely responsive over email and helped to organize makeup and hair for 8 people (bridesmaids + mothers). On my wedding day, it felt like a good friend was there to hang out with us. She fit in perfectly and all of the girls looked gorgeous. I can easily say that I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and have Ariel to thank for that. The airbrush makeup lasted ALL night and I have a lot of skin redness. Ariel also made me beautiful hair clips that went with my dress and overall look and created my hair style perfectly with very little direction.

Ariel was wonderful. I've never felt so beautiful thanks to her! I met Ariel at the trial just one week before my wedding and she was open to my ideas but also expressed her opinions to help me come to decisions around my hair flowers and lipstick color. She arrived right on time for my wedding and she was super flexible with timing (we were moving faster than expected and so there was some downtime where she had to wait around before doing my hair/makeup but she was very cool with that). Everyone loved their hair and makeup and it looked good throughout the entire evening. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend Ariel to anyone for their hair and makeup needs!

Ariel was such a delight to work with before and during the wedding- she's unbelievably knowledgable about her work and also helped me feel like a part of the process. She's responsive, professional, and just really fun and easygoing. Highly recommend!

Ariel is amazing. She created stunning hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only did she make me, my bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law look amazing, she was such a pleasure to work with. She is responsive, prompt, prepared, and incredibly talented. She made a potentially stressful, hectic day feel relaxed and fun--we had a blast! I highly recommend her!

Ariel did my hair and makeup for my wedding and was amazing! I had very high standards as I used to be a professional cheerleader so I know quite a bit about "glam" hair and makeup. I also live out of state now so I didn't do a trial. Needless to say I was a bit nervous, but as soon as Ariel walked in the door I knew I was in great hands. She's very professional, really knows her stuff, and was a joy to hang out with. I loved my final look and it was something I definitely couldn't have done on my own. Ariel also did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law and everyone was really happy and felt so beautiful. Could not recommend Ariel more strongly!

Ariel was one of my favorite vendors we used for the big day. She is so sweet and easy to work with. It felt more like hanging out with a friend the day of the wedding than anything else. Well, a friend that made us gorgeous! :) She went out of her way to travel to me to do my trial, which was a life saver in the hectic weeks before the wedding. During the trial she didn't leave until I was 100% happy and felt like my look was complete. Before the trial I had heard mixed reviews about airbrush make up. After the trial there wasn't a doubt in my mind, it looked great and Ariel does an amazing job. It was nice to have one less thing to worry about. I have received numerous compliments about how stunning yet naturally beautiful I looked for the wedding and I owe that all to Ariel! She is amazing!

Ariel was a trooper! I had given her the incorrect time to be at the venue and she responded quickly to my crazy messages reassuring me that it was no problem and she would be there. This was one thing that could have gone totally wrong and not only did she rearrange the appointment, but she made it seem like it wasn't a problem and totally relaxed me. I had my hair and makeup done. I loved both. I had one touch up post ceremony as it was brutally hot and I removed my veil. She was awesome!

Ariel did my hair and airbrush make up for my wedding. I had scheduled a trial with her a couple of months ahead of time and was very pleased with her work. Ariel was responsive to my emails, professional, and flexible. My wedding up do and make up turned out even better than I remembered and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful. She was even able to fit in a last minute make-up request, even though she had a full schedule with all of my bridesmaids. I highly recommend hiring Ariel for you wedding!

Choosing Ariel Johnson to do hair and makeup for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made in planning the big day. Ariel had no problem traveling over 100 miles away from her base in Wiscasset to do on-location styles for my three bridesmaids and me. She even arrived early! I'm 100% a control freak, but after talking to Ariel I had no problem turning myself over to her masterful work. I was a very indecisive bride and, despite a hair trial (which Ariel spent over an hour on) I didn't decide on the style I wanted until the day of and it was totally Ariel's suggestion and not what I had originally thought of. Both my makeup and hair turned out to be natural and polished, which is exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaids were also thrilled with her work. Overall, Ariel is sweet, hard-working, and incredibly talented and I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Ariel was the perfect choice for hair and airbrush makeup for my recent wedding. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered above and beyond my expectations. On top of that, she made the process easy and she was incredibly sweet and personable throughout the process. Oh and the airbrush makeup still looked great at the after party. No regrets here! Pick Ariel!

Ariel did my hair and makeup for my wedding along with hair for my bridesmaids and makeup for a few others. It was great getting a trial done with her as well due to me being really indecisive at first on what I wanted for my hair, we ended up completely changing my hair and she even met me another time to pick out/up extensions as I wanted my hair down and full, she went above and beyond! She showed up on time and came in ready to go even though she had quite the commute to get to the wedding site! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids loved their work as well, it all came out great and held for the whole day/night! Ariel was extremely responsive throughout the process with all of my questions/concerns, beyond that she’s organized, sweet and talented at what she does! I would highly recommend working with her!

Ariel did my make up and she was great!! She did a trial which was really great to help me decide what I wanted. She ended up doing air brush make-up that she had suggested and it glowed!! She was prompt and very friendly. She was amazing!!
