Working with Melissa for my daughter's wedding was an absolute dream! From our very first interaction, she was incredibly responsive, making the entire planning process completely stress-free. On the morning of the wedding, her calm, warm energy was exactly what we needed—she brought such a soothing, grounding presence. Melissa is truly a gifted artist; she listened carefully to what I wanted and made me feel elegant, radiant, and like the most polished version of myself. She even went above and beyond by providing wonderful product recommendations so my skin and makeup stayed fresh all day and I'll continue using these products/techniques in the future. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any mother of the bride or bridal party!
Melissa is a true artist! I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for the wedding day. For a day so personal, with so much attention on the bride, it was a huge source of confidence to have my hair and makeup look perfect- and stay perfect for the entire day!! She also has a groom service, so my now-husband got to feel his best too. Very highly recommend!
