Celeste Von Damon Hair and Make-up

s comfortable to be honest about what they wanted and if they wanted any changes. They also made everyone feel so beautiful for the wedding. I cannot recommend them enough!

so good on my wedding day. Her entire team is kind and incredibly talented. We had different skin tones, ages, and hair textures, and everyone looked stunning. I definitely recommend Celeste and her team for both hair and makeup!

perfect for us (and the hair and make-up lasted the whole night!). She was also a calming and fun presence for the day-of getting ready experience--my bridesmaids really enjoyed getting to know to know her a little bit. We would recommend her to anyone and would hire her again in a second!

d her work! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I can't thank her enough :)

on my wedding day. We did a trial in her home where she really took the time to listen to me and what I was looking for. She was so relaxed and friendly and the trial really put my mind at ease for the day of. My two bridesmaids had their hair/makeup done and my mom and my best friend got their makeup done. Celeste and her assistant worked some serious magic! My entire bridal party was gushing about what a great job they did. I really felt that Celeste took time and effort to review the trial we did and make small improvements - I loved my makeup and hair even more on the day of my wedding! Everyone else really loved their look and loved the energy they both brought to our getting-ready. I would 100% recommend Celeste for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

she charges $200 for the hair and makeup trial— WHAT?! That’s a bargain!

y single one of us were so happy with how our makeup and hair turned out. Celeste was such a joy to work with throughout this process - she is so kind, professional, and quick to respond to my emails. I appreciated that so much! I couldn’t be more glad to have found Celeste to be my chosen hair and makeup artist for the most important day of my life! Celeste made me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Future brides - you won’t be disappointed working with Celeste!

g throughout the process as I added a bridesmaid and my mother in law for makeup fairly last minute and she worked with me to figure out a time for my hair/makeup trial that worked with my busy schedule. Celeste is lovely, easy to work with, extremely nice, and so good at what she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough! 

ong! Celeste is professional, communicative and transparent. As a Bride planning her own wedding, finding someone who is upfront and kind was really important! Would and will be recommending to friends and family!

ic and no one would ever know and boy was she right. She not only covered up the blood vessels but she did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. The look was very natural which was something I was looking for. Celeste not only brings her amazing talent to any job she does, but she also brings her beautiful soul. She has an extremely calming presence and made my wedding morning with my mom and best friend stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Celeste and would definitely work with her again for future events.

ted for my hair/makeup before the wedding day. On the day of, myself and seven bridesmaids received hair and makeup services. Each girl had their own hair/makeup requests, and the stylists did an amazing job with all the different styles. Celeste and the stylists came with chairs and lighting in addition to all the hair/makeup supplies, they also provided music and were so calm and friendly as we spent the morning together. So happy we had Celeste Von Damon with us on the wedding day!

that made you feel instantly comfortable and confident. She was super responsive throughout the entire process and really listened to what you wanted - you could tell she really cared and wanted to make sure she helped make your vision a reality. She came to my house twice to do trials so we could get my hair just right. Even though we changed the number of people having their hair done on her at the last minute, she remained unflustered and calm throughout. I highly recommend Celeste! 💜

a lot of weddings and it’s so rare for the bride, every bridesmaid AND the moms to be so happy with how they look. Celeste was so easy going and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!!!

nd beauty. Detailed: I cannot say enough to sing the praises of Celeste Von Damon. I first met Celeste about 7 years ago when I was a bridesmaid, and was struck by her and her team's to honor and adjust to the wishes of each member of a very large bridal party. Thus, I knew she would be perfect for my wedding, with my sister who never wears makeup and has very unruly hair, to my mother who is very opinionated about her look. Celeste was extremely warm, patient, kind, and took the time to make everyone feel comfortable. By the time she was done, we all looked beautiful, and remained looking fresh and gorgeous for the entire day and evening. While her work on me was exceptional, it was really seeing the way that she worked with my sister and mother that made the greatest impact. Celeste did something that is extremely hard to do: she made them feel comfortable and confident. My family and I are forever grateful to her. She is a treasure!

pandemic to this past July 2021, and throughout that process Celeste was very flexible and easy to work with. All the ladies (me, the MOH, MOB, MOG, SIL, and Nana) looked really gorgeous and natural. On time, flexible, kind, and a good value!

of the day! Beyond that, she's got some serious skills! I do not regularly wear makeup, but she made me feel so natural and beautiful! My bridesmaids also commented on how natural they felt in their hair and makeup! So happy that I found her!

dal party and her and her assistant were on time, very professional and got all my girls and mother done right on time. Everyone was so happy with there hair and make up. Thank you Celeste!!

lso did the hair and make-up for my 3 bridesmaids and my partner's mother for the wedding. She arrived on time and was very professional. Celeste has a very calming presence, which is great on the morning of your wedding. If you've found this review, book Celeste now!

nd my perfect day-of make-up look. The day-of, they were early and came well prepared with supplies that were clean and orderly. While getting make-up done, the team chatted with everyone on various topics to keep the mood light and fun. I would love to use Celeste again in the future!

tments on the day of the wedding to make my hair and make-up vision a reality. I felt so beautiful. Her prices were also very reasonable, and she was flexible with helping hire assistant stylists at last minute to meet my early start time. Not to mention, she is genuinely such a kind, caring person with great values and an incredibly pleasant personality.

ly skilled and was nice and patient working with my family.

a trial. During this crazy time during the pandemic, Celeste made me feel very calm and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe during both the trial and the morning of the wedding. After the trial, Celeste was able to tweak the small issues I had flawlessly the morning of so that I looked my absolute best. Celeste and her team made it very easy for everyone's hair and make up visions come to life while making us look flawless. My mother in law and sister in law have very sensitive skin and eyes, and their make up did not bother them at all throughout the day! Overall, I cannot say anything but good praises about Celeste and her team. They were able to take looks from photographs and personalize them to your face to make you look like the best version of you.

calm, knowledgeable and easy to reach (exactly what a bride needs). Highly recommend her!

este and her team worked them into the schedule with ease. I could not have felt more beautiful and my hair and makeup held up all day without any touch ups. :)

I had no idea what I wanted, as I don't wear a lot of makeup. She made perfect suggestions, and the results were great! My fiance loved the way I looked. She was also very understanding. I'm struggling with a condition that affects my appearance, and she made me feel very comfortable in what could have been a very awkward situation. I was so appreciative of that. Anyway, can't say enough good things about her. Just hire her--you won't regret it.I can't wait to work with her again for my wedding in 2020!

big concern. I do not wear much makeup on a daily basis - I wanted to look as natural as possible for my wedding day. Many pictures I saw of work by various area makeup artists did not seem as natural as I hoped. I am the type that 95% of the time hate when I have professional makeup done. Then I discovered Celeste. Her reviews raved about her and her natural makeup skills. I emailed her and she almost immediately responded with smiley faces.  Via our email correspondence, she seemed very friendly and was always very responsive. I booked her before even having a trial. When we met in person for a hair/makeup trial, it felt like I was spending time with an old friend. She is so easy to talk to and an all around great person. Not to mention, she is extremely talented at what she does. She has such a calming presence, which I knew would be important on my wedding day.  On my wedding day, Celeste and Vanessa came to the hotel we were staying at and set up their own stations. Celeste did the makeup of my bridal party as well as my hair/makeup and Vanessa did my bridal party's hair. Everyone looked beyond beautiful. Each person commented how calming and talented both Celeste and Vanessa are. They turned everyone's picture of what they wanted into reality.   Celeste exceeded my expectations in my hair/makeup. I looked like myself, but a better version. It was natural, like I wanted but also elegant and bold also. I truly felt beautiful and like a bride. She truly executed all my hopes and wedding visions, better than I had imagined. My makeup and hair stayed exactly as they were at 11am until I went to sleep at 1am.   I can't thank Celeste enough for everything. If you are looking for hair/makeup for your wedding day, please do yourself a favor and contact Celeste.  

y compliments on my hair and makeup and was so happy with my look. In addition, my mother has never looked so beautiful in her life. It was such a treat to see her with such confidence on my wedding day. Thanks all around, Celeste and Vanessa!

d me very very excited for the big day and I wasn't disappointed! We had a big group and tight deadline on when we needed to have everyone done by, and she was even so accommodating by helping find a bring a third stylist for the morning to make sure we were able to complete everyone on time - after I didn't ask her to add the third stylist until the week of the wedding (Thanks again Celeste!!!). Her and her team of Vanessa and Dori were just so fantastic and listened to all the girls on how everyone wanted their hair and make-up done, and everyone was beyond happy with how it all went, and they finished up exactly on time. I also am not a huge make-up wearer and wanted to make sure I looked polished and like myself but still made-up on my wedding day and Celeste delivered, she did such a great job with my look making me feel like I looked very natural and didn't make me feel like I was wearing pounds of makeup. Also, our wedding began at 3pm which meant we were all starting hair and make-up around 7:15am, and the hair and make-up stood the test of a hot-humid outdoor wedding until we finished partying around 2am!! I was so impressed at how we all still looked fresh and styled even after hours of dancing and being outdoors with the sun and wind. I am so happy that we went with Celeste for our beauty as it was such an amazing experience, they did a fantastic job on everyone, and really listened to help understand what everyone's different styles and likes were to make sure that everyone felt like their best self and had that confidence to add onto the great hair and make-up that the team did for us.

and makeup. Everyone was ready when they arrived with pictures and all. We started right away yet, they ran 40 minutes late which caused me to miss out on pictures I wanted and set a terrible tone for the day. Everything was rushed. When planning for the day I told her to come as early as she needed, there were not restrictions on my end that would have caused the delay. ALSO, I gave her pictures for hair and makeup and she DID NOT follow them at all. The work she did was beautiful but not what I wanted. Then add in that they were running late and she couldn't fix it. I wish I could include pictures on this review so you could see the difference. IF you do use her, my advice would be to go with looks she has in her gallery so you know she can do them and ask her to come an hour earlier than she thinks she needs to come. All in all, the delay and not having what I wanted put a damper on the day, I wish I didn't let it get to me so much but there's no chance to get back those pictures that I wanted to capture.

t all. I wasn’t crazy about my trial and was really nervous about the day of, but I sent notes of what I wanted changed and made a few edits of what I wanted for my hair. Celeste took all my notes into consideration and really worked with me. My make up was outstanding. I wasn’t too crazy about my hair, it wasn’t exactly what I wanted but it still looked great! The only reason for 4 stars was for my hair not being exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Celeste and couldn’t have asked for a nicer and sweeter stylist. She was so calm and took my worries away!

wedding. She was amazing from start to finish. She was flexible and patient in coordinating the number of people I would get done, as well as accommodating last minute addition. She came early and prepared with a boom box, floor length mirror and collapsible makeup chairs (everyone was so impressed!!) which really was so helpful since we were getting ready at my parent's house which doesn't come equipped with all of the normal staging area equipment. On top of being so easy to work with, Celeste and her team did a phenomenal job. Everyone said I had the prettiest wedding party and I couldn't agree more. I definitely would recommend everyone book ASAP.

ceremony. I was still sick and weak the day of my wedding and Celeste was beyond fantastic. She was able to do my makeup while I was lying in bed and she kept taking breaks for me to drink and take medicine. She did a phenomenal job. I obviously felt pretty awful but you would never know from the pictures! She did a fantastic job on my makeup. She listened to what I wanted and adjusted for new concerns. I was definitely glad we did a trial appointment a few months before the big day so she knew exactly what I wanted. She was even able to cover up a bruise on my arm from the IV the day before. We hired her by the hour to stay after the ceremony for additional pictures so she could do touchups on makeup and hair for the bridal party and me. We were so fortunate that she could stay because as it turns out, while taking pictures, a bee flew into my sister’s hair and we completely ruined her up do trying to get it out! Celeste was able to completely redo her hair before the reception started. Having Celeste there was seriously one of the best decisions we made regarding the wedding. She repeatedly saved the day!! I can’t recommend her enough to any bride/bridal party. She stayed calm through all the chaos and her gentle “go with the flow” attitude was exactly what we needed! Just know in advance that she communicates almost exclusively through email, so make sure you stay caught up when communicating with her.

caring person. I would highly recommend her!!

when it comes to choosing the right colors to match skin tones, eyes, etc. for makeup. I loved the airbrush foundation - it looked awesome. I never thought I had much hair, especially for an updo, but she made me look like I had tons and everyone was complementing me on how great I looked. I could not be happier with my experience. Thanks so much, Celeste! I highly recommend her.

makeup looked flawless but also very natural - I still felt and looked like myself, but just a more glammed up version. I also brought hair extensions to my trial and Celeste was very accommodating and supportive in working with them. What I appreciate most is Celeste's versatility: she can really adapt to the style and desires of every member of your wedding party. My mom, for instance, never wears makeup and she was a bit reticent at first (actually she didn't even want to have her hair and makeup done but I convinced her!), but then she was beyond happy with the results! Celeste totally understood the kind of natural and understated look that my mom wanted to go for and made her feel so beautiful! She was so happy all night! My mother in law had a different style - she wears makeup often and enjoys a more glamorous look - and Celeste realized her vision soooo well too! That was amazing to see: how she gets every person's style and gives them what they want and feel comfortable with. We all felt amazing, and the hair and makeup lasted all night! Last but not least, Celeste is such a warm and calm presence. We really enjoyed spending time with her and I'm so happy to have gotten to know her. Thank you once again, Celeste!

hair emergency and talked me through everything ensuring it would be ok. Celeste and her team did all 5 of my bridesmaids hair, my moms hair and makeup, MIL makeup, as well as sister and MOH makeup. With a full day, she never complained or got tired, but rather did amazing! everyone loved their hair and makeup as well as i. My hair and makeup stayed all night even through the dancing and jumping. I cant say enough about celeste and her team.

th her a few months before the wedding. From the moment I met Celeste, I knew she was the right choice! She is incredibly calm, patient, and strives to make sure you are incredibly happy with your look. She is also very talented and knowledgeable about different hair and skin types, since she does a ton of weddings and events, but also works on models for photo shoots. Celeste was comfortable working with my clip-in hair extensions for my thin hair, both in a down-do and in an up-do. I changed my mind on what look I wanted after my first trial, so Celeste was happy to do a second trial with me at which we changed the look of my hair completely and it came out beautiful! On the wedding day, Celeste arrived at my wedding venue early with two assistants to help tackle my large wedding party. Her team stayed on a timeline with patience, kindness, and humor - they were wonderful to work with! Everyone in my bridal party, along with my mom and mother-in-law, were thrilled with their final looks, and everyone’s hair and makeup stayed all day (close to 19 hours!), even for the girls that styled their hair down, and even after we took photos outside in the wind. I cannot recommend Celeste enough!

like less - she's calm, sweet, and supportive. And talented. I don't consider myself a pretty girl, but she made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. She was also more than willing to make adjustments for what I wanted. Terrific. Vanessa, her assistant, did a great job on my girls hair, including my new stepdaughter. Multiple different styles and they all looked great. Trust your beauty to Celeste and Vanessa. They're awesome.

was done exactly as we wanted it. It was great having her onsite as well! I had gone back and forth about having onsite makeup because of the cost of them, but Sonia's prices were some of the best out there. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, I couldn't have been more pleased. She even gave me a touch-up kit, with everything I could need for the reception. She and her assistant arrived early, got everyone done in the time allotted, and were so nice and fun to work with. Thank you Sonia!!
