My short review for Heather and her team is that these ladies are awesome. I had Rebekah (hair) and Gabrielle (makeup) working on me for my wedding and they did a phenomenal job. Do yourself a favor and book them. If you want to read a longer r...eview, see below :)
Gabrielle did a great job on my makeup. She helped me choose a look based on my dress and vibe for the wedding. On the wedding day itself, my bridesmaids all went a little darker, so she asked me if I wanted to match them. I appreciated that she was able to adapt on that day and thought to keep all the ladies looking cohesive. Every time she has done my makeup, I've felt transformed. Also, I was crying all day at my wedding and my makeup lasted - no black streaks from mascara, no noticeable discoloring. She does a really great job!
The path for my hairstyle was more complicated. I had a lot of trouble visualizing how I wanted my hair to look and I kept changing my mind. After a few trials, a mini meltdown, and some chatting, Rebekah found a hairstyle that was gold - and we did it for the first time on my wedding day itself. She showed me an image and it was like the heavens opened up. I said, "Yes!! That is IT!" She gave me an edgier twist on a classic look and I absolutely loved it. Many people complimented my look, but several specifically praised my hair. Rebekah nailed it. I looked and felt awesome. I appreciated how she was willing to go outside of the typical wedding style for something different and fresh. Moreover, Rebekah was incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process. I put her through the wringer a little bit with my anxiety, but she handled it like a pro and was so kind. I highly recommend her!
I want to give a quick shoutout to Sydnee Rivera for doing an amazing balayage job on my hair. It really made a difference in giving my hair dimension and making Rebekah's styling even more prominent.
Finally, I had a few bridesmaids who wanted to be a little more "extra" than the normal wedding look. Since Heather was already on site for another wedding, she volunteered to help, for which I am so grateful. She and everyone on her team go above and beyond; they really take care of their brides and bridal parties. They are also so fun and make you look your absolute best. Not only did I feel amazing on my wedding day, but so did all my bridesmaids. They loved their hairstyles and makeup looks and raved about them for days afterward. I could go on and on about HVH, but this review is already very long. If you're needing a professional MUAH team for your wedding, book HVH and Artists. You'll be glad you did.
