Ericka did hair for six bridesmaids, two mothers, and me on the wedding day, plus two mothers and me the day before — and she handled it all with speed and mastery. We did trial ru...
ns for both hairstyles and I loved them immediately. On the day, everyone's curls stayed bouncy and beautiful from start to finish. Beyond her incredible skill, she's funny, friendly, and can recreate any hairstyle with ease. She even threw in a complimentary service for the groom, which was such a generous surprise. She glammed our whole crew and we are so grateful to her!

de. I told her what I wanted and she gave me exactly that. We also had to change our schedules a ton and she was super flexible! Highly recommend.

tting ready. She had great artistic instinct and just ran with the small directions we gave her. All of us were so happy with our hair and makeup. I am so glad we chose her and would absolutely recommend hiring her!
Ericka was amazing to work with! We had, I feel, a pretty tight timeline and she kept right on time with everything and everyone. My makeup and hair did not budge the whole day. My...
hair usually does not hold curl all day but even into our reception it looked like it was just done. Ericka was also one of the most reasonably priced HMUA I found as I wanted my bridal party to take part in having their hair and make up done as well. I wanted a more natural look with my make up which I know most artist say is harder than a more glam look, but Ericka killed it and I felt beautiful and it did not feel heavily on my face.
Ericka made me look exactly like I wanted on my wedding day!! I had my trial in early June, then my wedding was 7/27/24. During my trial, we talked about the importance of honest f...
eedback, so I felt really comfortable telling her exactly what I loved about my trial, and what I wanted to tweak a bit. Hair was perfection, but I wanted to change a few things in the makeup department. She was SUPER receptive and open to it! I almost booked another trial to ensure we’d get the look down, but life caught up to me and before I knew it, the wedding day was here. Ericka was on time and a super confident and calming presence. She completed hair and makeup for some of my bridesmaids and mother in law effortlessly and very efficiently time-wise; everyone looked flawless. When my turn came, I was excited and anxious to see how the changes would come out - for no reason. My hair was better than the trail, as was my makeup. She’d taken every piece of feedback and made my face look exactly how I’d pictured and the best I’ve ever looked!! The touch up kit she provided was perfect for the rest of the evening, and I looked like I was a walking filter til I forced myself to take the makeup off before bed. I can’t thank you enough, Ericka, for making one of the hugest parts of my wedding vision come to life! When I look back at pictures forever, I’ll have you to thank 💛💛💛

Ericka was great!! She did my trial 5 months before my wedding for my engagement photo shoot and I felt so beautiful! She did a great neutral glam that turned out great in photos! ...
She did a little bit more glam and a beautiful half-up/half-down braided hairstyle for my wedding day and it was absolutely stunning!!!! My videographer told me I looked like Nina Dobrev and I’m still riding on that high! All thanks to Ericka! She was great at communicating throughout the whole process, even when adding more people to the list a week before. She answered all my questions and was just so sweet with everything! Highly recommend!!

Ericka deserves a 10 star review! Ericka did my wedding day hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup of a few family members on our wedding day. She was incredibly flexible ...
when booking a hair/makeup trial with me (I was traveling in to Colorado from out of state), and she continued to be flexible on our wedding day when she began her services at a family airBnb before moving to the venue. She was punctual, communicated very well with me, and was so friendly to our entire wedding party while getting ready. She was so kind and helped me feel relaxed while getting ready. I was also VERY impressed with her work and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. She was willing to adjust minor details on the wedding day for my look, and I appreciate all of her hard work to make me feel beautiful. I highly recommend her!
Ericka was such a special part of my wedding morning! She did a fabulous job on the hair & makeup for both me and my mother and really listened to our feedback. She was also happy ...
to travel and show up extra early when my morning timeline changed. She's super responsive, friendly, professional, charges very fair rates (no large group minimums!), and is so talented! You can tell she loves what she does and takes her business seriously. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a HMUA!
Ericka does exceptional makeup! She nailed my wedding day look on our trial appointment, and recreated the look for the wedding day. She has such a wonderful, fun personality. She ...

Ericka is incredibly professional and kind! Once we discussed her pricing and availability, I knew she was my vendor! Although she mostly does makeup, she also offered to do hair f...
or myself, my mom and my bridal party (4 of us in total.) Erica does work alone and she estimated it would take her about 1.5hours per person for complete hair and makeup. On the day of my wedding she arrived on time and finished a little bit earlier than planned allowing plenty of time to get to my ceremony. She had us all looking beautiful!
I have never had a make up artist work in me, but Ericka exceeded my expectations! Not only was she efficient, respectful, listened to each girl involved but she also was kind and ...
thoughtful in such an intimate gathering. She kept her work space clean and organized and is very experienced in her work.
