Design by Anne

Anne is just awesome! She did the makeup for my sister's wedding, and when it was time to start planning my big day, I knew I had to have Anne as my makeup artist. She's very talented at what she does, professional, and just overall a wonderful person. I am grateful I scheduled her to do my bridal makeup for my wedding in 2024!

Seriously so so pleased with everything that Anne did on the wedding day! I had a make up and hair trial about a month before the wedding. Anne was so sweet and really encouraged me to tell her exactly what I wanted changed for the wedding day (I'm usually not great at this). I texted her all my thoughts and she took everything I said it made it PERFECT on the wedding day. She was prompt and had such a fun laid back energy the entire day while still getting through all the hair and make up so quickly! My bridesmaids and mothers looks so gorgeous the day of the wedding. I truly couldn't thank her enough!

Anne from Design by Anne is an absolute magician with a makeup brush, and my wedding day was truly elevated by her exceptional talent and warm, professional demeanor. Anne was a referral from a friend who used her at her 2022 wedding and from the moment I connected with her, I knew that she would be perfect! On the big day, she not only created a flawless and long-lasting look but also made the entire experience delightful with her calming presence. For any bride seeking a makeup artist, you can't go wrong with selecting Design by Anne. She truly combines her artistry with genuine care, ensuring that you not only look stunning but also feel confident and radiant on your special day.

Anne was amazing to work with for our big day! Both her an Shannon did a great job with my bridal makeup and hair. They also did makeup and hair for 8 bridesmaids and 4 other family members. They do a great job understanding what each individual wants and making them feel their best. Everyone was extremely impressed by them and loved their looks! Also, they are very efficient with their time and it was nice to not have to get up crazy early to start hair and makeup. It made our day much more comfortable and seamless! I would recommend working with Anne to anyone!

What can’t I say about Anne?! She is absolutely WONDERFUL! She is professional, flexible, caring, and a whole lot of fun. She did hair and makeup for me and my entire bridal party. Every girl loved what she did (which seems difficult to come by for bridal services). And, she even fit a couple more services in- some of my bridesmaids hadn’t signed up for makeup, they saw how gorgeous everyone else looked and they wanted it, too :) Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about Anne. I will use her anytime I can for event hair and makeup. I truly have never looked or felt more beautiful! Book with Anne, you’ll love her!

Anne Coad and Shannon are simply the absolute BEST duo in the game!!! The hardest part when deciding who to choose as a make up artist + hair stylist is finding a ‘Picasso’ who enhances your natural beauty, while making YOU beyond radiant~ in real* life AND your photos! (This balance is a tough one to find). Her business, attitude, passion, design, and skill is phenomenal. Can’t recommend any better than the best and that is her and this team. Period.

Anne was so amazing for my wedding day!! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup! She also was great leading up to the day- She had very open communication and allowed me to call her anytime with changes that needed to be made to the schedule or for any questions I had. She even bought a special product for me because I wanted to try it out after seeing a bride do it online. I hands down would recommend her

Anne was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. She did my hair and makeup for a wedding I was in 4 years ago and as soon as I got engaged I knew that she was the one I wanted to work with on my wedding day. She is incredibly easy to work with and made me feel so at ease during the entire process. When I showed her my inspiration pictures- she made those pictures come to life and I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life!!! Anne is also incredibly time efficient and I was never stressed during the morning of with getting everyone’s hair and make up done. She honestly feels more like a friend than a vendor and I appreciate her so much!!

Anne has done my makeup as a bridesmaid twice and most recently as a bride and I absolutely LOVE her!!! She feels more like a friend than just a wedding vendor. While we were getting ready Anne was so relaxing and none of my bridesmaids or myself felt stressed. I was very impressed with how efficient and quick she did all of our makeup. She brought my vision to life and made me feel so beautiful! It was more than I could’ve ever asked for. Anne was very professional and responded to emails/calls in a timely manner. Additionally, she was extremely organized, and I trusted her recommendations and suggestions. I highly recommend using Anne and couldn’t speak more highly of her!!! My family and I love Anne and can’t thank her enough for her incredible work!

I had first worked with Anne when I was in my cousin's wedding back in January of 2020. She was one of the first vendors I booked after I got engaged. Anne is amazing at what she does. She is very easy to talk to, like you have known her forever. She did a trial for myself and for my mom (hair and make-up), and she did an excellent job. On the day of my wedding, she did my hair and make-up and the make-up for my entire bridal party, my mom and my mother-in-law. I highly recommend Anne! She makes you feel extra beautiful for your special day and is a joy to be around! The make-up and hair looks so good in the professional photos and stays on all day! I'm so happy to have had Anne help me get glam on my wedding day!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Anne! She did the hair and makeup for myself and the rest of the women in my bridal party. She is kind, professional, honest, and so good at her job! Anne made all the ladies in my bridal party feel so confident and beautiful. We did two trials, and for both, she traveled to me. She was communicative and easy to get ahold of. She listened to what I wanted and helped my vision come to life. She had me absolutely glowing on my wedding day AND she was just fun to have around as we were getting ready :) I highly recommend reaching out to Anne for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

Anne is SO amazing at what she does! She had done my makeup at my friend's wedding in 2020 and when I got engaged the first vendor I booked was Anne because I loved the work she had done! She is professional, fun, personable, and cares about you as a client. You will not regret using Anne on your wedding day, her work is just beautiful. Thank you so much again!!!

Anne was a great makeup artist for our wedding, everybody absolutely loved their makeup and it stayed picture perfect all day! Anne was fun to work with and efficient day of the wedding fitting a large number of family members into the morning in addition to the bridal party

I was very fortunate to have Anne do my hair and makeup for my wedding! I went back to school during my wedding planning period so we didn't always book vendors as early as we should have and it was super stressful to research thoroughly. Luckily Anne was familiar with our venue and had a simple contract/booking process. At my trial she helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. I was so worried all 8 of us wouldn't be ready in time but she and her fellow stylist work VERY quickly. As for her work, I was so happy my hair and makeup stayed all day, even until the morning since I fell asleep in my makeup (oops). The only thing I will add is that she has a lot going on behind the scenes so you'll want to take initiative when communicating. Leading up to my wedding I kept waiting to hear from her and it definitely gave me anxiety when I didn't. However, I always got a response when I reached out so I think that's the key.

Anne did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and I felt so gorgeous. My hair and makeup stayed in place all day and night! She was on time and was flexible when I changed my mind about hair styles after my trial. Anne is such a joy to be around and you could tell that she is passionate about her work. Communication was sometimes a little confusing since she would use a couple different emails to reach out and it was frustrating that the deposit didn’t go toward my final price. But overall, I was so happy with Anne.

I had been following Anne for years and when the time came for me to be the bride, there was no question as to who would do my hair and makeup for my special day. Anne was great to work with and listened to our requests and also added her own flair to the mix that was perfect. 100/10 absolutely recommend.

Anne is a talented makeup artist and we were happy with her work. But as others have noted, I found her difficult to communicate with once the retainer was paid and the contract signed. I don’t want to be overly negative because I think she works hard to fit people in (as in our case where we contracted at 2 months out). Just be advised to get questions answered and details settled up front because after that you may be left guessing.

Anne was awesome to work with, as was her assistant! You want to feel like the most beautiful person on your wedding day and she most certainly made me feel just that! And my mother and grandmothers felt incredible, too! Could not be happier with how the day turned out!

Anne was amazing to work with, and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I knew I wanted a more natural makeup look, and Anne created the exact look I wanted. She also helped me figure out exactly what I wanted to do with my hair, and made adjustments after my trial. She was so fun to work with and definitely helped start the morning off on a fun and relaxing note :)

Anne did an amazing job! She and her partner did a great job accommodating myself, my mother, mother-in-law and my large bridal party for my wedding. Everyone looked and felt amazing. My hair stayed looking great all night and even in the hot July heat my makeup and even lipstick stayed on. She did a great job making everyone look their best and is very easy to work with!

10/10 highly recommend Anne and her team. I had so many compliments on my make up the day of the wedding!

Anne was a delight to work with! She did hair for my wedding and every look was amazing. She was fast and efficient while doing a great job on everyone. Anne was fun and brought a great atmosphere to the morning. Anne was communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!!

Anne made me feel the MOST BEAUTIFUL! She did my make up for my engagement shoot, boudoir session, and my wedding! My bridesmaids, mom and mother in law were also extremely impressed and obsessed with the air brush make up she provides! I can’t imagine hiring anyone else!

Anne was so sweet! She did an amazing job on mine and my bridesmaids makeup! She was early to set herself up and was so easy to work with. You won’t be disappointed with her!

Anne was so great to work with! She did such a beautiful job on the bridesmaids and my makeup. I would highly recommend using her for the perfect wedding look!

Anne was simply amazing! She is so friendly and fun to work with and everyone was so impressed with their makeup and hair! She is also very timely which alleviated a lot of stress on my big day! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else besides her :) thank you Anne for making me look beautiful on my biggest day!

Anne helped easy my stress of my big day, trusting that she would make everyone look beautiful. She truly did such a good job listening to everyone’s preference and every single bridesmaid/mother loved their look for the day! Our makeup lasted all day as well! She is very professional and yet a blast to be around at the same time! Highly recommend.

Anne is fantastic at what she does and would highly recommend her work! Her makeup skills are amazing, she is not only efficient but super high quality. I could not ask for a better experience! My day off makeup was subtle, romantic, and exactly what I wanted!

Anne was so great to work with for my wedding hair and makeup! She did hair and makeup for myself, multiple bridesmaids and family members, everyone could not stop raving about how much they loved Anne. She brought another girl with her to help with hair, and both were so fun to have with us as we got ready. We were also so shocked at how quick and efficient both girls were at getting everything done. They made the whole morning run so smoothly for us that everyone was able to relax and hang out while we got ready. Aside from how great her personality is, her talent for hair and makeup is unbelievable. All of the girls looked so stunning! From the second we walked in to the venue, people kept coming up to me asking who did our hair and makeup because everyone looked so good. My photographer was also so impressed by how everyone looked and kept saying Anne did a fantastic job. All the hair styles were unique and exactly what each girl wanted. The girls who got makeup done looked so beautiful! I feel like some makeup artists put way too much on clients and they look overdone. Anne made everyone look so natural and just enhanced their natural beauty. Hair and makeup also lasted until the end of the night. It was a long, hot day and a night full of dancing and everything still held up. Very impressed with Anne and would highly recommend her!

Anne is AMAZING! She is so sweet and so fun to work with. My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved her and we all loved the makeup she did for us. I highly recommend her for any bride looking for gorgeous, professional makeup on their big day!

I really cannot recommend Anne enough! From my hair & makeup trial to the day of, she was so helpful in creating a beautiful style for the wedding day. All of my bridesmaids absolutely loved their looks! And she was able to get 8 girls ready in just 4 hours! My makeup stayed absolutely all day through July heat, and my hair was out of my face without feeling tied out of the way. Really Anne was just so nice and so good at what she does!

Anne did a wonderful job! She did my makeup and my bridesmaids makeup for the wedding. Everyone looked and felt so beautiful.

Anne did my wedding day makeup and she made my girls and I look phenomenal. We all looked like the best versions of ourselves. She has us laughing and smiling the entire time. If you are looking for a wonderful artist and all around wonderful human to be part of your big day Anne is your girl! She made me feel beautiful inside and out:)

AAAMAZING! Anne was so wonderful to work with before, during, and after the wedding! Every single one of my ladies had something great to say about Anne and her professional makeup skills. Anne is a MUST for your wedding day!

Anne did an absolutely beautiful job on my hair and all my girls hair for the wedding. She also worked efficiently and on schedule to get 9 girls hair done in more than enough time for us to take pictures at the end. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and she was definitely a apart of making our best day ever!

Anne was very hard to communicate with and mixed up who she was working with. As a fellow hairstylist who works with clients, it was very upsetting to send over a deposit, schedule a trial and have it mixed up with another person and have multiple problems with communicating.

I booked her in January for my July 23rd wedding, signing my contract and paying my retainer. Contacted her on June 10th to confirm. Anne confirmed the same day, then contacted me on June 11th (6 weeks before my wedding), telling me she had to cancel, saying there was a conflict with one of her Covid brides and had to cancel me because that bride rescheduled for my wedding date. Anne recommended someone else, so I emailed her right away and I still have not heard back from her. Although she did send my deposit back, I find it very unprofessional to cancel on me 6 weeks out for another wedding.

Anne is amazing! She is not only great at what she does (amazing at what she does), but she is the best person! I am so lucky to have had her for my wedding for all of my girls. I was worried about timing, and with 9 girls, we all had time to take a lunch break and still had extra time for photos because she worked so efficiently. Also, I have very oily skin and my face stayed the same all day and night, even with dancing!! I had her for my mini-mony last year, too and I am sad all the celebrations are over because I would hire her over and over again. She's an amazing makeup artist and person!

Anne is the best make up artist I’ve witnessed for a wedding, hands down. I’ve been in a few weddings and had my makeup done by others, she’s the best of the best. She did my makeup at my best friends wedding, so I switched to her from another artist to do my make up on my wedding day. My friends and I are all obsessed with her makeup style- she’s so talented! She also did my mom’s and mother in law’s and did excellent for them as well. She’s so much fun and laid back too. I recommend her all the time!

Anne is fabulous! She works quickly but doesn’t rush the beauty! Her partner April was also so wonderful and did a great job with the hair. They made my big day perfect!

Anna did the hair and make up for me and my bridal party and did an amazing job!! She came to the hotel we were getting ready in and did 7 girls hair and 4 makeup. She was so efficient, professional, stuck to timeline and sweet/funny talking to all of us as we got ready. All of us were obsessed with our hair and make up she did!! It was all perfect and lasted all night!! Anna was quick to respond during the planning process and was flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to covid!! I highly recommend Anna!

Anne took my deposit in July, but then was extremely difficult to communicate with. I have asked for a refund several times and have yet to receive my money. I contacted Anne in July 2020, she immediately got back with me and sent a contract and her Venmo account for the deposit. I completed it and sent the deposit the same day. I asked for a copy of the contract when she signed it. I didn’t hear back for a few days so I attempted contact again. She said she was on vacation and would send it later that week when she returned. I never heard from her again. I emailed her mid-August to ask for a trial date because my wedding was approaching on October 3rd. She said she was available that Sunday. I told her I was available any time. She never contacted me back to set up a time. I didn’t hear from her on Monday or Tuesday, so I emailed her again and asked if she had a different date in mind. She said she was available on Friday, September 18, with no apology or explanation. Again I asked her what time and she never got back to me to set an appointment time. So at this point, I called her on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday telling her I was trying to make contact to set up an appointment time. She never returned any of my phone calls. So on September 12, I sent an email telling her I have tried to contact her several times to set up an appointment and have never gotten any communication from her at all. I told her I had no idea why she was treating a client this way. I told her I would like a refund of my money. Within five minutes she emailed me back and said that she had had surgery and had just recovered from it. I told her at this point I had been trying to set this up since July and had no confidence or trust that she would even show up on my wedding day and I would simply like a refund. It is October 31 and I still have not heard from her again or received my refund. I can only hope she is not doing this to a lot of people it was very stressful. My next step is contacting the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General.

She is wonderful to work with and did a great job with my hair and makeup. She is very personable and down to earth. Enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to do their hair or makeup or both. Thanks for making my day beautiful Angel

Anne was so nice and accommodating throughout the whole process! She made it to the hotel on time and ready to rock. She finished everyone's hair and makeup on time and everyone loved the outcome! I would definitely hire her again!

Absolutely blown away by her work!! Not only was Anne incredibly talented but she was wonderfully flexible & communicative. She was willing to work with varying dates & schedules throughout the pandemic with what worked best for me, and also strived to give me the vision I wanted on my wedding day. I had multiple bridesmaids change their mind to wanting her services day of because she was that good!! Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Anne did a wonderful job with my bridal hair! She was flexible and understanding, even when I accidentally had her go to the wrong hotel on the day of the wedding! I appreciated her attention to detail and got so many compliments on my hair. I recommend her to anyone for bridal hair needs :)

Wow wow wow! Anne was truly amazing and is absolutely fantastic at what she does. She was very accommodating when it came to all of my requests regarding my hair and makeup which reassured me that I was in great hands. My bridesmaids and I were impressed with her promptness and ability to complete all 5 of us in a timely manner even when she had to come at 7am! We really enjoyed her company and loved that even though we were all glammed up we still felt like ourselves! It was seriously a great experience she is so funny and great to hang out with while she is working... thanks so much Anne!

Anne is AMAZING. She works with you and makes your vision come to life. She listened and perfected every detail of hair and makeup for me and all my bridesmaids the day of my wedding. I am so thankful for her time and work and would recommend her to any bride-to-be!

Anne was wonderful!! Getting ready the morning of my wedding was stress-free with her help. I highly recommend her for bridal parties of all sizes!

Anne was really great to work with and was so kind!! I loved my hair and makeup that she did for my wedding day. My makeup was exactly what I was looking for and held up all day and night beautifully! My hair was amazing and it really held up as well through the whole day!

Anne was super sweet and welcoming. It felt like I was being pampered by an old friend for my big day and my girls loved hanging with her as well. She listened to what we asked for and I love the way my hair and makeup turned out! She also did a great job explaining what she was doing, why she did or did not recommend certain things, etc. It was also so nice that she was able to travel to my venue the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend her services!

Anne was a God send! I had a makeup artist booked, that flaked 2 weeks prior to our wedding. Anne was super easy to talk to and book! She came in early the day of my wedding and took care of my bridesmaids, my mom and myself better than I could have asked. I have very bad rosacea and was terrified that someone not used to problem skin would be able to cover it as well as I’m used to. Anne FAR exceeded my expectations! She covered my problem skin while keeping a very natural look. Do not hesitate to book Anne. Absolutely amazing!!!

Anne was amazing! She was so sweet and nice and easy to talk to. She made me feel very special on my wedding day and made me look incredible! She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I looked the very best on my big day!!!

Anne’s hair and makeup skills are phenomenal! My wedding day was humid and rainy but my hair and makeup looked as good at the end of the night as they did when I got them done! My guests raved over how good it looked! Above that she was a delight to work with and is great at pep talks! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Anne was amazing! She went above and beyond at my trial and on my wedding day, making sure I felt comfortable and listened to my vision! She arrived bright and early at our home in Columbus with a huge smile on her face, immediately calming all wedding day jitters :) She even accommodated additional family members day of. I am so lucky to have gotten to know Anne through the wedding process and wouldn't have changed my experience for the world! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. To anyone looking for an incredible makeup/hair artist for your wedding, go with Anne. She is perfect!
