Shynna and Ashley were such a joy to be around during the trial session and, more importantly, on the big day. They were on time and ready to go the morning of the wedding and kept to the schedule for all girls and mothers. The bride (my daughter) looked like a Jane Austin character which made her extremely happy. And, as mother of the bride, I asked for an old Hollywood glamour wave and it was perfect. Much of the make-up was a custom blend for each girl and everyone looked natural and fantastic. The pictures look great. I highly recommend this beauty team.

I could not have asked for a better beauty team. Both the trial and the day of the wedding, we had a blast. Shoutout to Shynna for my hair and makeup - she is curly girl approved :) All my bridesmaids genuinely loved their makeup. Would easily recommend the Ashes & Shine team - super talented, professional, and they contributed to the memories of my wedding day :)

Ashley and Shynna were both incredible to collaborate with and their work for my wedding was STUNNING! They were so kind and knowledgable, I felt like my bridesmaids and I could relax and have fun getting ready. Ashley is fun and bubbly and provided wonderful energy the day of the wedding and Shynna is so warm and funny; an amazing duo. Any bride who hires this team can rest assured they are in good hands.

My glam team cancelled last minute, and fortunately Ashes and Shine were available to step in. This was really the universe delivering for me, because they were absolutely the perfect team for me and my family.
Ashley and Shynna do a great job of understanding what look you want, and they have an ability to deliver a range of looks. From my mom's more traditional instincts to my more glam approach to my SIL's more avant-garde aesthetic, they made every person look her best in their own way. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ashley and Shynna were a dream on my wedding day. I had an early Sunday morning wedding and they came to me at 5am to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and myself. They were professional, so kind, and gave us all flawless hair and makeup. If you’re trying to find the perfect team for your wedding, it’s them!

Where do I begin with Ashley and Shynna? First off, if you're looking for a hair and makeup team for your day of, I can confidently say, look no further, your search ends here.
These ladies are the real deal.
Ashley & Shynna are extremely knowledgeable and talented at their crafts, super responsive and flexible, extremely professional and holy crap, they never ceased to amaze me with their incredible work ethic and hustle!
I felt like a damn PRINCESS on my wedding day (and at my hair and makeup trial for The Oscars) and I know my bridesmaids did too. They can do that for you too. 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone.

Ashley and Shynna were amazing! From the first contact they were helpful and responsive, and when I did the trial sessions with them they immediately put me at ease. I was one of those brides who doesn't know exactly what she wants her hair and makeup to look like, which can make it intimidating to find stylists. But Shynna and Ashley helped me find a look that I absolutely loved. On the day of the wedding they were right on time and made me look beautiful. I'd recommend them to anyone!

When I first talked with Ashley & Shynna, I knew they would be the perfect fit for me because they spent so much time trying to make me feel comfortable and trying to know more about what I was looking for for my big wedding weekend. I had two ceremonies (an Indian and a western style) with two very different looks on each day. They did two separate trials for me and made sure I loved the look. I really appreciated Ashley's attention to detail in getting my hair right for the Indian ceremony even though it was something she hasn't worked on before! It looks fabulous. As for makeup, I was quite adamant about working with someone who knew how to work with darker skin tones, and Shynna was incredible. She made me feel very comfortable throughout, often checking in on me to make sure that I was still loving the look and was open to any changes I wanted to make on the day of the ceremony. I cannot recommend A&S highly enough - they made me look and feel incredible. My whole bridal party & close family also loved getting made up with their team - each of their stylists made my family look and feel their best. Thank you both for being a part of that amazing day!

I can't say enough good things about Ashley and Shynna. From the first time I met them when they did my friend's makeup for her wedding, I knew they were going to be the team for my wedding. They were professional, kind, and so talented at what they did. Everything was hammered out in our trial and the morning of the wedding was stress free. I felt so beautiful and so did my gorgeous mama, who had her hair and makeup done by them too.

I am so glad I had Ashes & Shine on my wedding day! They made me feel so beautiful and radiant, while still feeling like my natural self. I got SO many compliments on my makeup and hair, I was so humbled. On top of their amazing hair and makeup skills, Ashley & Shynna were just such a blessing to have around on the wedding morning. They were so fun, and brought so much calm to the pre-wedding jitters.

Highly recommend! The hair and makeup team was fantastic and fabulous. They styled all the ladies and both grooms beautifully for my wedding.
A friend of mine recommended Ashley and Shynna to hire for hair and makeup to style the grooms and wedding party for my wedding, and they were fun, fantastic and wonderful! Overall, it was a magical experience.

I. Loved. Them. So. Much. When I connected with Ashley and Shynna they met with me right away for a virtual consultation, and they were within my budget but so freaking talented and knowledgeable. Throughout the process, they always got back to me right away whenever I had any random question, and made adjustments right up to the last minute--even when I realized a week before I needed to add one extra friend to get hair and makeup. They were lovely to spend time with, and did an incredible trial for me. Shynna nailed the color palette I wanted, and even recommended a makeup remover I'm now obsessed with. And after the trial, when I decided I wanted to go a different direction with my hair, Ashley got exactly what I was going for and it was perfect. I looked better than I ever could have imagined!

Yoooooo. As a woman of color with natural hair, it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to find someone to do my hair and makeup. So I am beyond grateful and thankful that I found Ashes and Shine. True professionals from the make-up trial to the actual day, showed up on time and ready to make everyone look and feel good. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring them and will hire them again in the future.

Ashes & Shine did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding! I especially want to recommend them for curly haired brides. I wanted to keep my curls natural but elevated and so they came in and wet my hair down, did it curl by curl, and dried it so that it would be my same natural hair but super gorgeous. Also loved the makeup, and in general their energy was so sweet and lovely. You spend hours with a hair and makeup person on your wedding day, so it has to be someone who is as kind and wonderful as Ashley and Shynna. Also, I really appreciated the trial it was a nice experience to get to know them a little better and make me feel more comfortable with my wedding look!

The BEST makeup/hair team ever! Ashley and Shynna are so professional but so fun! Best of both worlds! They take the time to get to know you, your friends, your family and they remember! So genuine, very laid back - not stuck up, no judgement and no egos! They really want to make your dream come to life! Great pricing and not to mention they are SO talented! They also came to multiple locations and had multiple assistants who do incredible work! If you don't like it, they will fix it. They are responsive and fun fact have been friends for a long time so they work well together! BOOK THEM, you won't regret it!

Ashley and Shynna were amazing!! I hired them with only about a month to go before my wedding and I wasn’t able to do a trial but only a zoom meeting, they showed up on my wedding day and I immediately felt so comfortable with them. They made me feel so at ease as they did my hair and makeup and they made me feel so so beautiful on my big day. 10/10 would recommend, they’re the best!
