Gretta is amazing! I am not one who wears much makeup and she managed to make me feel so beautiful while still letting me look like me. I almost cried when I looked in the mirror on my wedding day because of the confidence her look brought me. All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their makeup and echoed the same sentiment that they loved that they still felt like themselves. That was a huge thing for all of us - to feel so beautiful in our own skin. We just felt a little enhanced and glam! Gretta is kind and warm with a great understanding of her craft. She is reasonably priced and probably could charge more for the quality of work she does. She will make you feel like your very best self! She brought Kyra with her to do half of the girls makeup and they were all beyond thrilled with her as well! Shout out to both Gretta & Kyra for making my girls look and feel so beautiful!

Gretta was the best makeup artist I could have imagined for my wedding day. She came and was able to get through my bridesmaids, my mom, mother in law and grandmothers. We even were early! She listened and was able to give every bridesmaid and myself exactly what we wanted. She was professional and so nice!

Gretta and Hailey did an amazing job on hair and makeup for my wedding! They were super professional and friendly. It was easy to let either of them know if we wanted anything changed or tweaked but we didn’t need to much changed, everyone loved their hair and makeup! They were punctual and efficient. Would definitely recommend!!

Gretta is an incredible addition to your getting ready team! She does a wonderful job making everyone feel confident while also maintaining natural beauty (ex. Keeping freckles showing😊). All of my bridesmaids had great things to share about their makeup, and Gretta’s kind demeanor.

Had such a wonderful experience with Gretta. Everyone’s makeup looked great - enough to accentuate everyone’s features so they pop in photos, but not too much where it looked cake-y or overdone. She is also super sweet and just really easy to work with. Definitely recommend hiring her for your wedding day!

Gretta is so sweet and so kind, and made my hair and makeup vision a reality! On the day of the wedding, things moved so smoothly that we ended up being an hour ahead of schedule because of how efficient she was. My bridesmaids and I were so happy with her work!

Gretta was magic. She was so attentive to each one of my bridal party members, MOB,MOG and myself the Bride. She asked all the right questions and pin pointed comfort levels of make up for everyone. I felt like and looked like a million bucks for my bridal shower and my wedding day. Unbelievably accommodating and so reliable. Her personality is warm and inviting. Gretta really became a part of my day and I’m so grateful for her.

Gretta did hair and makeup for my mom, sister, and me (bride). She is very sweet and soft spoken - she did a great job listening to what we all wanted and executing it. My mom and sister in particular wanted very subtle looks (hair blowouts and subtle makeup) and she did a great job with them. My look was a bit more involved (braided updo) and she was able to blend in some hair highlight work I have not been wild about to make my hair look even better than the pictures. I would say she's very good/excellent for makeup and absolutely excellent for hair.

Gretta is the best! She helped me so much with what I wanted done for my wedding day. She js kind, down to earth, and very knowledgeable. I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup so I wanted to look as natural as possible. Gretta made me feel absolutely beautiful and like myself still. My bridesmaids and moms also loved what she did for them! 10/10 recommended her!! Thank you Gretta!
