Cannot recommend Hanna enough! She is truly a joy to work with. She is such a kind soul and is a pleasure to spend time with. She is fast and efficient on your wedding day. She pays close attention to detail and ensures everything is perfect. Every hairstyle was flawless and stunning. In 86 degree July heat and high humidity every hairstyle held perfectly. She is a true artist. I cannot recommend her enough for your event!

I cannot say enough good things about Hanna and her team. They are truly the best in the business and such professionals. Everyone in my wedding party, including myself, absolutely loved their hair and makeup. They are super fun to talk to and very warm and welcoming. I would recommend Hanna to anyone and use her again in the future without thinking twice. She is spectacular!

I cannot put into words how impressed and happy I was with how everything Hanna did turned out. She was so sweet and professional and she made my dream hair a reality even without a trial and with my very particular hair. Everyone's hair and makeup was so gorgeous, lasted all day and night no issue and she made us all feel so comfortable.

Hannah W did my bridal makeup and bridal party with the help of Regina, and OH MY GOSH I can’t recommend her enough! Hannah’s cheerful and bright affect makes you instantly comfortable with her. She asks you exactly what you want and truly LISTENS. Every bridesmaid loves how Hannah and Regina made them look and feel. I wish I could have her do my make up every single day! Thank you again Hannah😊

Hannah is AMAZING to work with! She is so personable, friendly, and knowledgeable! I was very indecisive about how I wanted my hair styled for my wedding day; when I came in for my hair trial, Hanna spent the entire hour working with me and creating all the different styles I had in mind. She was very patient! Her recommendation perfectly suited my dress & ultimately made my final decision so easy to make!
I got married on 7/30/23 - Hanna and Erin impressed me and every single person that got their hair & makeup done by these wonderful women! My vision of how I wanted to look was exactly what I imagined. I am SO happy with all their work & an overall incredible experience working with them! I highly recommend Hanna and her team!!

Hanna was so generous with her time for my hair and makeup trial and really took the time to hear out my vision and make sure it is exactly what I wanted. She also readied my hair for my engagement shoot right after the trial which was incredibly kind. On the day of our wedding her and her glam squad were incredible, fun, quick, and professional. I would recommend Hanna and her entire team to anyone and everyone!

Hanna and her team are the very best!!! I left my trial beaming because of not only how much fun we had, but how amazing she made me look. She is kind, compassionate, and truly loves what she does!! Her team made everyone in our bridal party look beautiful and everyone loved them!! I had 13 girls needed hair/makeup and it was not a problem at all for them! They worked quickly and got us down so fast despite several girls having extremely thick hair. One of my bridesmaids is actually planning to book her for her own wedding after seeing me on mine and a friend booked with her after seeing my hair/makeup from my trial. I 100% recommend booking Hanna Wagner Design!! You won't regret it!!!!

My wedding was 11/20/22 and Hanna and Jana were absolutely fantastic! Hanna did such a great job hyping us up and our hair and make up all looked absolutely fantastic. She has such a fun personality and was absolutely the best fit for me and was super patient with any little changes I needed to make. 10/10 I would highly recommend them.

I used Hanna Wagner for my makeup artist during my wedding in October 2022. She did my makeup, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and 5 bridesmaids! From the beginning I told her that I wanted a very natural but elegant look and that is exactly what we got both in the trial as well as on the wedding day. My makeup looked exactly like me but highlighted so many beautiful parts that made the look absolutely perfect. In the trial, Hanna did an amazing job after sending her an inspiration picture of one of her previous brides and I really liked that she highly recommended that I take pictures and review the pictures occasionally up until the wedding day to let her know if there was anything I didn't like. I really appreciated this because on the wedding day she was very open to feedback not just from me but also from others which is really important as a stylist.
The only caution I will give is that Hanna's email communication is not great. As a very type-A bride planning the wedding, it was hard having very delayed communication. However, it was much faster when texting and I loved that she sent me a text the night before the wedding ensuring she was ready to arrive and do our makeup. That put me at ease knowing that she was coming the next day and I didn't have to worry about any miscommunications.

They were amazing!!! Communication before wedding day was sparse. Hanna took a few weeks at a time and several emails to get responses but they were very reliable! They showed up exactly on time ready to go- they worked so fast and efficient together! It was a great day. They are so so talented at hair and makeup! I didn’t do a trial for either and it turned out WAY BETTER than I ever imagined- definitely want to book with them!!

Hanna and Jana did an amazing job with my wedding hair and makeup. After a few bad experiences with wedding hair and makeup artists in the past, I was so extremely nervous to pick one for myself. Hanna has a bubbly personality that calmed those nerves the second I met her for my trial. She reassured me that everything would go smoothly, and it did. I loved my makeup - which Hanna did for my wedding day. I changed my mind on my hairstyle the day of my wedding and Jana was so accommodating and easy to work with. She would have me check periodically to make sure I loved it as she worked and said she would redo it at any moment if I didn't. She was also very kind. They were both so fun to be around and brought a positive attitude to start my morning! I had 7 bridesmaids and 3 moms and they easily got through us all and everyone loved their looks. I even had two girls decide to get makeup done that morning last minute after seeing how good the rest of the party looked, and Hanna was more than happy to fit them in, no problem. I would recommend Hanna and her team to any bride!

Overall Hanna & her team were very efficient and most everyone was happy with their look the day of. As I had seen in previous reviews, response times were indeed very slow, sometimes weeks. But they were very reliable. Only negative was that as the bride, Hanna did my makeup and hair for the trial which I loved & the day of she only did my makeup even tho I specifically said I wanted her to do my hair as well. I liked my hair much better at my trial because Hanna made sure my ear was covered by my hair (had it pinned back on one side). The person who did it the day of left my ear out which I did not even realize until I got my pictures back which was too late. I should have made sure that it looked good to me but with all the emotion & craziness of a wedding day I didn’t think about it, which it all could have been prevented if Hanna did my hair as requested. Overall would definitely recommend even tho I was slightly disappointed with my hair.

Oh my gosh, Hanna is INCREDIBLE! First, let me start by mentioning that I'm a Covid bride...I had to reschedule my wedding 3 times, therefore having 4 different dates. Hanna stuck with me the entire time, always making sure we were actively communicating.
Hanna did my up-do for a church wedding on Friday, and absolutely crushed it. Within 25 minutes she turned me into a superstar, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around (how can someone be SO GOOD at what they do within 25 minutes?!?!?). Two days later, we had our big wedding, and she teamed up with Jana to bust out 10 girls. They are the dream team!!! Jana did my hair and it was everything I hoped it would be. All our girls looked so beautiful and they both moved so fast! Hanna did everyone's make-up, and it stayed on all night. The tears were flowing and you would never have known, because we all looked flawless after 12 hours. Hanna was also so accommodating - my mom wanted her hair and make-up done very last minute, and she made some room for her and turned her into a princess. My mom kept raving about how beautiful she looked, and it meant the world that they squeezed her in so last minute.
Last thing to mention - Hanna is just so freaking cool. Such a kind, funny, and talented person. I genuinely gained a new friend in Hanna and I'm so glad she was part of our special day. Thank you Hanna and Jana for everything!! 10/10 would recommend Hanna for any bride - she is so versatile and will make sure your wedding looked is picture perfect.

Had Hanna and Erin out for my Bay Pointe Woods wedding April 9th, 2021! Not only was she on time, on point, and personable - I felt like she was one of us!! Her and Erin were so professional and made my girls look AMAZING! I could not believe how beautiful they all turned out! When I reached out I had an unusual request, I the bride, was not getting services done as my stylist is close friend from home who traveled with us. A lot of the other salons in the Grand Rapids area would not even consider booking without the bride having services done. I felt bad I wasn't outof my bathroom as much in the main area, due to me getting ready! But my bridesmaids, sisters, and family had nothing but great things to say and the few times I did talk to the ladies they were so helpful and easy to get along with! Hanna's prices were amazing, especially considering the outcome of my ladies hair and makeup! I couldn't stop complimenting them and the pictures truly speak for themselves!!
I had originally booked with another salon, and had horrible communication from May-January 2020. Reached out to Hanna and within ONE WEEK she had emailed back and forth, drew up a tentative time line, and also had a contract made up and sent over! THAT is professionalism at its highest!
I couldn't thank Hanna Wagner and also Erin for all of their help and expertise! Both of you ladies helped make our wedding the BEST DAY EVER!

Hanna and her team did AMAZING work on myself and my bridal party on the morning of my wedding day. I am so pleased with their styling, professionalism, and kindness. Our makeup and hair stayed all day and into the evening. We all looked and felt beautiful. Hanna is so fun to work with and helped me to feel at ease, as I do no typically wear makeup. This was also true for my mother. She created natural looks for us that made us feel like ourselves, yet played up for my special day. She even came back to my venue to deliver the lipsticks that I had purchased after she accidentally packed them up in her bag so that I would have them for the rest of the evening. That meant a lot to me! Thank you Hanna Wagner Design!

I loved working with Hanna and her team for my wedding. We had a lot of people (10!) and one of my biggest worries was having to start hair and makeup too early to get everyone done or feeling like we were behind or that hair and makeup had to be rushed, and Hanna and her team made sure that none of this was true. Everyone looked absolutely AMAZING! We got comments all day on how good everyones hair and makeup looked and all my girls truly felt their best. Hanna came to our hotel in St. Joseph, MI which was so great so we could feel relaxed all morning and come and go from our rooms as we needed. Hanna was so fun to work with and made the whole thing so enjoyable and I had never felt more beautiful.

Hanna & Jana did an amazing job on hair & makeup for me, three bridesmaids, mother of the bride & mother of the groom. Our makeup stayed perfectly and our updos did not move an inch, even amongst a full day of activities, mask wearing, tears & a little rain. Hanna & Jana were both great at taking & incorporating feedback, leading to differing looks that were perfect for each of us. They came to our Air BnB for services and were very respectful of all COVID safety measures. They are also both very personable & easy going. Communication can be a little slow, but don't let that dissuade you. She will be there for you on the big day!

Took a shot in the dark with Hanna Wagner Design and boy was I not dissappointed! Hanna came out to our Air BnB in Benton Harbor area it just felt so much more comfortable to get around in a familiar area rather than go to a salon. Even though Hanna had a horrible morning which put her a bit behind her schedule she still showed up and took her time on everyone verse rushing to make up time which I highly appreciated! She did services on myself (the bride), 3 bridesmaid, and mother of the groom. I did no trial of hair or make up, just showed her pictures of what I was thinking and she NAILED IT! I felt beautiful, a polished version of myself without looking like someone completely different! Also I have SUPER think long hair and she made it look like something instead of a blob on my head which I’ve had before. All of my girls looked stunning as well! Hanna was super friendly, easy to get along with, and listened to what we all wanted done! I would literally recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!

Hanna Wagner Design was a great choice for hair and make-up services. I was an out of town bride and Hanna worked with me to get a hair and make-up trial during the small windows that I was visiting. We really appreciate Hanna and Jana coming to us the morning of the wedding to eliminate COVID exposure at a salon. They both wore masks the entire time and sanitized between people and all my girls felt very comfortable.I had seven people getting services and everyone’s hair and make-up looked perfect! Hanna applied a final seal and everyone still looked amazing at the end of the night. I was taking my mask on and off all evening, and even though there was make-up in the mask, my face still looked beautiful.
My only critique of Hanna Wagner Design was communication. It was great when I first booked about a year out, when I believe she had an assistant. Later, it could take weeks for a response after follow-up emails and texts. If you have an urgent question, texting is definitely the way to go.
Overall, I was very satisfied with Hanna Wagner Design and would overall recommend them to you

Hanna and Jana were wonderful! I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day and Hanna did a great job with my hair and makeup. I sent her inspiration photos and didn't have to give her any direction - it's like she knew me and made me look like myself but better. She gave me suggestions for false eyelashes and I got complimented on them all night. Communication was a little slow but I felt comfortable once she got back to me and I planned a wedding in 2 months! She even gave me a Kylie Jenner lipstick to keep to touch up during the wedding.

Hanna did hair and makeup for myself and my stepmom, and she did just hair for my sister. I was thrilled with how my hair and makeup turned out. After our trial, I felt like my makeup didn't look quite like me; it was too dark and the colors were a little off. Hanna worked with me to adjust the look and it ended up perfect. My hair and makeup stayed in place through a hot July wedding. It even stayed in place after my husband and I jumped off a dock into a lake. Everyone was amazed how good my hair and makeup looked after getting wet; multiple people told me that they could hardly tell I'd gotten wet.
The only downside to working with Hanna was that communication was slow. Admittedly, most of our communication took place during the craziness of the COVID-19 lock down, but it still consistently took two weeks or more for her to respond to my queries. Adding to the communication challenges is the fact that I never got a copy of our contract with her signature. While these challenges didn't result in any issues for me, I can see slow communication being a challenge for other brides.

Hanna and her team did hair and makeup for myself, 8 bridesmaids and 2 moms for my New Year's Eve wedding. They did an incredible job and everyone was absolutely in love with their look. They came on site to our hotel, were timely, professional, and so much fun to work with! I would recommend Hanna and her team to everyone I know (I already have friends trying to book their own weddings after the awesome job they did.) Looking for another reason to get glammed up so I can use them again!

Hanna and her team came to our venue to do hair/makeup for all of my bridesmaids and the mothers. And they killed it! They respected my vision and made each and every bridal party member feel and look beautiful but still themselves. There were so many compliments on how gorgeous everyone looked. The makeup was natural but photographed beautifully. Hanna did my hair and makeup and after all the dancing and kissing I still looked just as polished as I did when I left her chair.

Long Review (For shorter summary skip to the end)
I cannot say enough amazing things about Hanna. I was trying to coordinate parts of the wedding from out of state and Hanna was incredibly accommodating when it came to squeezing me in for my hair and makeup trials. She nailed the look I was going for on the first trial, but was open to tweaking a few things as we got closer to the date. She communicated quickly and efficiently and was very responsive throughout the entire process.
She had great ideas for my mom and mother-in-law who didn’t know what they wanted to do with their hair or makeup.
She and Janna were incredibly calm on the morning of and were very prompt. She stuck to her timeline 100% and we were all done and made up early even after I threw a wrench in the plans and we realized I had screwed up the final count for hair and makeup and we had to add 2 extra girls in. She handled it so professionally-didn’t get upset and fit them in without blinking twice. It was impressive.
Everyone was impressed with the makeup and hair. One of my cousins is an aesthetician and she commented specifically saying whoever we had hired to do it was absolutely incredible.
Our make up lasted from 7AM until midnight without smudging/smearing (we did airbrush) despite crying (tears of joy) and sweating, and my hair stayed perfectly in place without falling or coming loose even with the removal and replacement of a long, heavy veil.
Bottom line: If I had to do this all over, I would choose Hanna again in a heartbeat.
Pros:
- She traveled to the site for makeup and hair and brought all her own supplies
- She and Janna were perfectly on time and stuck to their schedule for getting ready on the day of, they even had extra time. I screwed up and had to add extra hair and make up for two people on the morning of and she didn’t flinch and she still got everyone done early.
- airbrush is an option- if you haven’t looked into it you should- doesn’t run when you cry or sweat
- Quick and accurate estimate for time and number of stylists required for the day of
- Excellent outcome- my make up and all my bridesmaids’ make up and hair stayed in place for the ENTIRE day from 7am until midnight (we all did airbrush)
- Knows how to do make up for Asians which I know is a weird “pro” thing to list but not everyone in West Michigan is adept at this
- Calming presence on day of – she and her team will not add to your stress

Hire Hanna and her team!!!!
I was very nervous about picking a hair and makeup team because I wanted to look as good as possible on my wedding day, but I also really wanted for all of my EIGHT bridesmaids and the MOB/MOG to feel their most beautiful as well. As soon as I met Hanna at my trial, my nerves were completely set at ease.
Hanna and her team (Jana, Michelle, and Erin) arrived to our cottage on time and with great attitudes. They moved the girls through their appointments efficiently and made every single person look and feel absolutely gorgeous. Hanna and Jana tag-teamed my hair and makeup, and I felt like a 10/10!
Hanna's pricing is very reasonable and she offers either traditional or airbrush foundation. Some of my bridesmaids elected to do each, and all of our makeup held up beautifully in a 95+ degree summer day. Our hair also stayed in until late in the night when the humidity and dancing finally won out :)
These girls, led by Hanna, worked together to give me the best start to my wedding day that I could possible imagine. I would recommend her to anyone!

Hanna Wagner and her team were fantastic! Hanna traveled to St. Joe Michigan to do hair and makeup for myself, the bride, 6 of my bridesmaids, 2 sister-in-laws, and my mother and my mother-in-law. It was a big group, but Hanna and her two co-workers handled it wonderfully. I've been in plenty of weddings and usually there's at least one person who hates her professional makeup. That wasn't the case with Hanna. Everyone LOVED their makeup and looked absolutely beautiful. I did my hair and makeup trial and wanted several changes for my wedding day. Hanna took excellent notes and executed them very well. The makeup lasted all night, the eyelashes looked super natural, and the hair was too die for. Hanna was an excellent communicator and showed up right on time. She was also super fun to hang out with the day of our wedding. I would absolutely recommend Hanna and her team to anyone who needs their hair or makeup done!

Where do I even begin?! I knew from my trial that Hanna was going to take away any hair and makeup stress I had. I was most concerned with my hair because it’s thin and I wasn’t sure how it would style. Hanna nailed my trial and I instantly fell in love! We laughed and joked throughout my trial, and it honestly felt like she was a friend of mine for years. When it came to the day of my wedding, Hanna and Jana were the perfect duo for my hair and makeup glam. They made us all feel relaxed and absolutely gorgeous. They started with my bridesmaids while I set the venue up, and I came back and was instantly brought to tears. Everyone looked stunning. They genuinely cared about making us happy and went above and beyond our standards. We loved both Hanna and Jana and definitely recommend them! ❤️

Hanna did an amazing job. When I came in for my hair and make-up trial I brought photos of what I thought I wanted. In the photos on other people it looked great, but I normally wear almost no make-up so it looked a little off when done on myself. I don't blame Hanna for this, she was doing what I requested since I thought I knew what I wanted. Hanna worked with me to help me figure out what was off and how to fix it and make myself look like a polished version of me. The day of the wedding she really nailed it! It was humid and misting in the morning, but my hair and make-up stayed well throughout the day. I felt that I looked like me in person, but it was enough that it photographed really well too. I also really loved my experience with Hanna because I could tell she was passionate about what she does and truly wants the best for her clients. She overcame some serious medical issues to do my hair and make-up the day of my wedding. She even called in the midst of her medical issues to assure me that everything would be great for my wedding day. She had a back up planned just in case she couldn't make it. I cannot recommend Hanna enough! She really is the best!

Hanna and Jana are a dream team. Hair and make-up were flawless- to the point that they squeezed in extra bridesmaids who didn't want make-up or were super picky originally.
My aunt and mom can also not stop raving.
My hair held perfectly the whole night through despite multiple veil changes, dancing, and sweat.
Hanna chose a lipstick color that all bridesmaids had too so we could buy and share it and keep the look all night. I loved the airbrush make-up. She is an eyebrow goddess- and I am super picky!
Would recommend to everyone and anyone. She travels but the salon she works at is adorable.
Plus you will laugh and have fun the whole time you work with her!

Hanna did an amazing job with BOTH hair and makeup, to the point where the bridesmaids, mothers, and even guests commented how impressed they were and how much they loved my hair (as well as my bridesmaids' hair) all night. She was extremely punctual, showing up on time for our 8am start time and was extremely flexible in terms of appointments (we had to switch the mother of the groom and a bridesmaid's hair appointments). She was an absolute blast to work with, and we'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for hair and makeup in the Grand Rapids area.

I got married this past August in Grand Haven and I cannot say enough how amazing Hanna and her team were. Hanna arrived at the hotel that we were staying at bright and early and did hair and make up for nine people in the bridal party. Her time management and ability to get such a large group picture perfect was essential to the day flowing perfectly and helping me stay with my time line. More than anything, my wedding party was blown away at her talent and ability to make EVERYONE happy and in love with their look (which as girls we know is no easy task!). I highly recommend meeting with Hanna for a trial and seeing all that she can do for your big day!

There are literally not enough positive words in the English language to express how amazing Hanna is! From initial contact all the way through the day of- she was spectacular.
It was no wonder that Hanna came with such raving reviews from a number of friends who also used her for their wedding make-up, because my experience was no different.
Hanna is so wonderfully outgoing and personable and takes the time to get to know you and genuinely listen to your preferences and hopes for the big day all while professionally guiding you through the entire experience.
I have never felt more beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and Hanna is to thank. She so beautifully brought out my natural strengths with her techniques rather than hiding me behind layers of make-up. Most importantly- she made me feel comfortable and like myself!
I left that day feeling like I had gained a friend! My bridal party also had nothing, but praise to sing of Hanna and her amazing assistant's services!
Thank you for helping to make our day SO beautiful, Hanna!

Hannah did my makeup for our wedding day. She also did my mothers and several of my bridesmaids. I did a trial with Hannah and she was great. I definitely recommend a trial with any MUA you choose, so you can chat about options and make sure you're not allergic to any of the products. Hannah does a wonderful job enhancing natural beauty without making you look "too made up." She knew I wanted to still look like myself walking down the aisle! <3

I cannot rate Hannah Wagner Design high enough!! I was SO impressed with my makeup by Hanna, and just as pleased with my hair by Jana! I've been in a lot of weddings, and my makeup and hair did not come close to comparing to what Hanna and Jana did. I was beyond thrilled I chose them to do mine and my bridal parties makeup and hair! They listened to what everyone wanted, and brought every girl's different ideas to life! My girls all looked gorgeous and were so happy with their looks, too. Not only did Hanna and Jana do an amazing job on our makeup and hair (which lasted all day and all night despite crazy wind, and lots of dancing!), but were an absolutely blast to be around all day. My whole bridal party had so much fun with them too! I don't think it gets any better than Hanna & Jana, I can't recommend them enough to another bride!!

I am so happy that I booked Hanna for our hair and makeup. She and Jana traveled to us, in the middle of the 5/3 Riverbank run, and transformed us! Even my sometimes critical bridesmaids loved their looks! They are talented, fun, sweet to work with. Would book them for any occasion.

Hanna & Jana were amazing. They arrived to our get ready spot even before we did and were ready to go shortly after. They were very organized and structured in their plan to get everyone's hair and make up complete. Their demeanor was calm and positive and everyone felt at ease while getting dolled up. My bridesmaids kept saying to me, "where did you find these ladies, they're wonderful." Wonderful, patient, talented, I could go on and on. I was incredibly happy with the work they did and would recommend them a million times over. I felt radiant, confident and more than ready to walk down the aisle to marry my love-how every bride should feel on her wedding day. Thank you thank you, Hanna & Jana!!

I have been waiting foreverrrr to leave this review. I see Hanna scheduled during the year for my normal coloring and haircuts and she never, ever disappoints. But when it came to my wedding day, I felt absolutely amazing.
Backing it up a bit, she did my sister and her entire bridal party and even as a bridesmaid I felt so beautiful and we received so many compliments. Obviously I needed her to do my wedding too!
I felt so beautiful and received so many compliments about my makeup/hair as did my bridal party. She also had regina and Erin help and they were amazing!!
Hanna is seriously the best around. I tell all my family and friends about her when it comes to getting my hair done regularly to special events. She is so genuine and kind and truly a special person to get to know!
Thank you, Hanna, for always making me feel like a million bucks!

I cannot say enough good things about Hanna and her partner Janna. They are both so much fun to be around and kept the bridal party laughing the whole time. They showed up early and even finished everyone ahead of schedule. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and looked absolutely stunning. I would book them again in a heartbeat!!

Hanna was recommended to me by a friend and I reached out to her early in the planning stages for my 7/16/16 wedding. Unfortunately, she had already booked an event for our wedding day, but recommended her go to girl, Jana to help. I was so excited to get to work with her! The trial was so much fun and we tried several different styles until deciding on one. She invited me to text her with any updates and pictures if anything came up in between the trial and the day of. We had booked her for myself and 7 girls, so she brought Erika with her the day of our wedding. Let me just say that everyone's hair was stunning! Our hair didn't budge all day, but it didn't look stiff and fake with too much hairspray either. My mother who has short hair was not going to get her hair done, but once she saw everyone's hair she got hers done at the last minute and has never looked better! Thank you so much girls!

Hanna and Janna did such a wonderful job!! I'm blessed to have found them!!! My hair and makeup was absolutely gorgeous, I left and looked beautiful!!! I would recommend any bride to go with Hanna and would highly recommend the airbrush makeup, I felt like I didn't even have makeup on and it lasted throughout the entire night!! My hair stayed up all night and my girls looked amazing!! We received tons of compliments!!!

Hanna and Jana were both SO amazing to work with. I had Hanna do both my hair and makeup while my bridal party had their makeup done by her as well. We all used her airbrush service, and our makeup was flawless all night even through the sweat and tears! She was so flexible in working with me during my (multiple) trials to get my look just right. She was patient and kind and listened to all my requests. She came on time to our hotel room and made our morning fun and laid back.
Thank you again Hanna and Jana for creating the perfect look for the girls and me!

Hanna and her partner Jana were wonderful to work with! They listened to me during my trial and remembered exactly how I wanted my hair when the big day came. I even changed what I wanted at the last minute after liking what they did to one of my bridesmaids hair. They are funny and fun to be around. They made all my girls and me look wonderful on my wedding day. I'm very thankful!

Hanna and Jana not only did mine and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup, but they also worked with my flower girls, mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law. While they had a full plate, they did nothing but amazing work. They took the time to make sure we received the exact look we were looking for. My makeup was flawless and I felt extremely confident throughout the entire day. I also really liked that Hanna and Jana came to us the morning of the wedding, which was extremely helpful. We were all able to get ready together in the bridal suite at the venue and not worry about commuting back and forth from a salon. Thanks again, Hanna and Jana!!

Absolutely amazing. I can't even describe how great Hanna and Jana were. I had a hair trial with one salon and wasn't happy with how it went. The girl was negative, uninterested and didn't try. Upset, I was recommended Hanna by my sister and thought what do I have to lose. By some miracle, a wedding was called off and she was available. They will do anything and everything to make you feel the most beautiful you can feel on your special day. Their personalities are also amazing. They are so nice and personable. We were laughing all morning and it was such a great environment on such a crazy day. They traveled to us and brought everything with them. My bridesmaid's hair and make up looked absolutely amazing. They made any tweeks the girls wanted and didn't for one second seem offended or annoyed. You would be dumb not to book her.

Hanna and her team came to my house and got the entire bridal party, mothers, and grandmother ready for pictures at noon! They are so talented and fun! My hair and makeup were beyond beautiful, and they are the reason I felt pretty and confident on my wedding day.

Hanna is the BEST for hair and makeup!! She has an energetic personality and brings excitement to your wedding morning. She is great at what she does and was even able to accomodate our large bridal party on our somewhat short timeline. She came to us on the morning of the wedding and we were able to get ready in the comfort of our own home. Our only complaint was that Hanna's assistant did not share Hanna's excitement or welcoming personality and seemed a little less willing to be creative with hair.
Hanna took the example I gave her and re-created the look, only better! I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup on my wedding day and my bridal party looked great as well.
I can't say enough about Hanna - she truly is the best. Her work speaks for itself. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hanna and the other ladies on her team were great! They came to the house, were on time, professional, and got everything done with time to spare. I didn't feel as though we were rushed (my biggest concern) and the prices were great. Hanna and her team did an amazing job. I loved my airbrush make up and fake eye lashes. My recommendation for any bride!

Hanna did my makeup and hair (and my girls) for my big day. We looked fantastic, I never wanted to take it off. Makeup was beautiful without being overpowering, and my hair was lovely. Fantastic!

Besides being a total blast to work with, Hanna made me look absolutely flawless and beautiful on my wedding day. I had my hair and makeup done and she came to our hotel to get myself and 9 other people ready. Her and her assistant Jana showed up right on time and gave us plenty of time to get everything perfect. I highly recommend the Airbrush foundation, happy tears were flowing all night long and nothing budged until I washed my face at the end of the night! Job well done Hanna and Jana!
