I hired Amy and her team for my wedding and felt that it was the best makeup experience I’ve ever had (and I tend to have trouble with feeling good about makeup!!). I don’t wear a ...
lot of makeup and was unsure about what I wanted and Amy helped me figure that out, even as far as offering a second trial. I really appreciated Amy’s Kindness, patience, and willingness to help me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. All of the bridesmaids were beyond happy as well. Thanks again Amy!!!! Will definitely ask her to help me again in the future.

e had great communication and reasonable prices. Amy herself was booked for the day we needed, but she arranged for three of her assistants to help our group. All three artists arrived on time at Caza Hotel and did a great job. Daisy worked on the mothers, junior bridesmaid and flower girl - she was so pleasant and did great work on our hair and makeup. My makeup/hair lasted from 10am until 11pm that day! Daisy listened to exactly what we wanted. Kat was the main artist working with the bride for trial and day of wedding - Natalia was super happy with her work! Carina joined Kat in helping with hair/makeup for the other five adult bridesmaids. Everyone was happy with how they looked and loved the ladies/experience. Would highly recommend working with Amy for your wedding day hair and makeup needs!

Lastly, the girls appreciated her expertise to determine the best hairstyles for their dress type since they don’t usually do their hair.

Amy was an absolute joy to work with. She was a recommendation from a friend, and when I initially reached out to her, she was professional, prompt, and even offered to do a phone ...
call with me so we could get a feel for each other. I don’t typically wear much makeup and I’ve had… mediocre experiences with wedding makeup in the past as part of the bridal party. I voiced these concerns to Amy during my trial, and together we came up with a game plan for a look that made me feel gorgeous while still looking like me.
On the Big Day, Amy and her second makeup artist were on-time and simply flew through all the bridesmaids. We were ahead of the timeline the whole morning, which helped start the day on a more relaxing note. I was thrilled with my final look; my hair and makeup lasted literally all night, except for the lip gloss (which is normal, and she provided a touch up for, which was perfect!).
I truly can’t recommend Amy enough for future brides!

she and her team showed up right on time (even with our super early 5am call time!) and worked efficiently to get everyone ready ahead of schedule—so much so that we were finished before photo and video arrived, which gave us a calm, relaxed start to the day.
My hair and makeup were absolutely stunning and held up beautifully through every moment—from the ceremony to the very last dance at the after party. I felt so confident and comfortable the entire day. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better HMUA experience. Thank you for making me feel my absolute best on such a special day!

il the day of. She arrived on time, she was ahead of schedule which allowed plenty of time to relax the morning of my wedding (how often do you hear that?!). Her assistant was amazing! She is capable of any hairstyle for your bridesmaids (I had 4 & she did hair and make up for the MOB and MOG!) And best of all the hair and make up she did for me lasted throughout the entire day and night! I still looked good when I went back to the hotel around midnight! Planning a wedding is stressful, so do yourself a favor and book Amy because she takes the stress away and you will look AMAZING!

I had a large bridal party, plus I included my mom, and mother in law in our makeup morning. Amy and her team not only did an incredible job and made everyone look beautiful, but they were so efficient that we were an hour ahead of schedule, which was a huge relief for all of us! We were able to enjoy a relaxing morning, which none of us expected for the morning of a wedding!
Everyone felt beautiful, and Amy did a great job of giving us a balance of looking both natural and glammed. Plus, our hair and makeup lasted all day/night long (about 12-16 hours!). I'm so grateful to Amy and her team for making us all look and feel great!

Amy and her assistant, Mari, were amazing from the time I received a quote to the actual wedding day! I asked her lots of questions and she was always prompt and patient with me. I...
had my hair/make up trial, and I was not sure if I wanted it half up/down or all up, and she said she would try both. It was really great of her to do that and I am glad I tried both because that swayed my decision. She recommended lipstick for the special day, and my mom and I both got the same lipstick! I loved my trial; however, I ended up wanting to go with braids and Amy was very accommodating and I loved my hair WAY more than my trial, so it really worked out that I spoke up. Amy was also very flexible with timing. We needed to start earlier, and she said it would not be an issue and she showed up right on time.
My bridesmaids and my mom looked amazing and I would definitely recommend Amy and her team for your special day.

I felt gorgeous on my wedding day, and it was all thanks to Amy’s magic!

In spite of the circumstances, Amy was very accommodating and willing to do hair and makeup for us on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for her flexibility! We loved her so much that we asked if she could do our hair and makeup again this year for the reception. She did a stunning job, and in spite of the ~95F weather, my makeup lasted the whole day!

about the look and feel of everything for my wedding day. During the trial Amy made me feel comfortable and walked me through my options and made really helpful recommendations. She was also super communicative throughout the whole process and I never had to wait long at all for her to answer a question I had. She was very punctual and prepared, and on the big day she even finished my hair and makeup early which allowed me to do some extra photos with my bridesmaids. The makeup looked fantastic, I didn't ever feel like I was wearing heavy makeup at all, and it lasted all day. All in all, my experience working with her could not have been better and I'd highly recommend her to anyone.
