Araceli recommended the perfect lip and eye colors for each event based on my dresses, it was a great feeling knowing I could trust her!!

6 months before our wedding my original stylist backed out. I was super sad and stressed to say the least. I messaged a vendor, won’t say names whom I found on The Knot recommendat...
ions. I went through a LONG process to get a quote, giving very detailed information and over 10 emails before finally getting a quote. The quote was for more services than I requested so again went back through several email exchanges only to be told my wedding party was “too small” for them. I was pretty frustrated and crushed, but they say when one door closes another one opens. I found BEAUTY BY ARACELI next and spoke with Araceli right away. After one simple email Araceli made me feel important, at ease, and gave us the best quote even. With the pandemic changing daily she was still there for me all along, keeping in constant contact. We were able to have our wedding on the date as planned, but guess what? Another monkey wrench...our original venue closed the day before our wedding .Araceli was still there for me, with over 3 schedule and venue changes, many texts and emails. She was super responsive and accommodated every schedule change without every showing frustration. Talk about hectic! The best part...our wonderful stylists. They arrived early even at the craziest time schedule, 6am, go to work right away. My family is so picky, as am I because I am a makeup artist as well so I was very nervous to have others do our hair and makeup on this big day. They blew us all out the water with their amazing makeup skills and beautifully done up doos! I told the ladies they did a better job than I could ever have! They worked quickly but efficiently. It made me so happy to see everyone so pleased with their hair and makeup. I really appreciated the kindness of the staff, making my family feel important and beautiful. Thank you so much for making this such a great experience. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, skillful group of ladies to make this a great day!
