Hilary was AWESOME!! Long story short I ended up having to find a new hair stylist for my wedding 2 weeks before. Out of pure luck Hilary was available! She was quick to respond and easy to talk to. I told her exactly what I was looking for and boy did she deliver!! If you’re looking for Hollywood Glam Waves Hilary is your gal!! She turned me into Jessica rabbit for the day, what a dream!! All of my bridesmaids as well as my mom also loved their hair styles which ranged from a pixie cut style to updos! I will forever keep Hilary on speed dial for anytime I need to get my Glam on!!

Hillary is one of the most amazing hair mavens I have ever met! I have worked with celebrity clients and still have never had the beautiful finish and hair dos of what Hillary has done. She is in a class all her own. She makes you look and feel beautiful as she also has a beautiful spirit! She is reliable, clear in communication and gets it done to perfection every time no matter what your hair and texture. She is a wedding wizard! Bravo HILLARY!

Hillary is AMAZING! She has done every event for me from my sweet 16 to my actual wedding day! I have never felt more beautiful leaving her chair. The hair and makeup is absolutely unmatched. BOOK HER if you want to feel like the only girl in the world on your special day.

Hilary’s dedication to her craft is unmatched. She is incredibly talented in both hair and makeup. She did both my hair and makeup as well as my mom and maid of honor for my wedding. We planned everything out during the trial and she helped guide me to a final result that incorporated my vision with her professional recommendations for what would look best in photos and last through the reception. She allotted plenty of time on my wedding day. We were all so happy with the final looks. I would recommend Hilary to any bride and would be confident that she would deliver stunning results.

I have been a bridesmaid countless times, a bride more than once, and experienced many hair and makeup artists—but Hillary stands far above the rest. If you’re looking for someone to make you feel radiant, beautiful, and at ease, she’s the one. Hillary isn’t just talented; she’s kind, professional, and truly gifted. I feel lucky to know her, and if I ever need an artist for any event, she’s my only choice. Trust me—you won’t regret choosing her.

I had the pleasure of attending a black tie wedding in May 2023 where Hilary Shawn did the hair and makeup for the bride and bridal party, and I was blown away by her work!
The bride was radiant—her makeup was flawless and elegant, and her hair stayed picture-perfect all day and night even through outfit changes. The bridesmaids looked equally incredible, with unique styles that matched their individual beauty while still complementing the overall theme. Hilary has an undeniable talent for enhancing natural beauty while ensuring everyone looks polished and timeless.
Hilary’s attention to detail and artistry truly elevated the day. Her work made a magical event even more memorable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch hair and makeup artist!

Hilary is unbelievable! My hair was a mess and Hilary created a classic look for my summer wedding. Her work on my makeup was flawless and lasted all day and through the night. She really takes her her time, listens and makes sure you are comfortable and happy with everything. 5 years later I had recommended her for my future sister in law and wow wow wow! She did the entire party including my hair and makeup. She even cut my husband's hair that morning too. I felt incredible both times and would recommend Hilary to any bride or anyone who has an event where they need to feel stunning

Hillary Shawn made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist. From the very start—especially during the trial—she was incredible. I showed up feeling super nervous and unsure of what I wanted, but Hillary instantly put me at ease. She listened to all my ideas, answered my million questions, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. By the end of the trial, I felt so much more relaxed and excited, knowing I was in such good hands.
On the wedding day, Hillary completely nailed it. She brought my dream look to life perfectly and made me feel so confident and radiant. On top of that, she made my mom and bridesmaids look absolutely gorgeous, too. Seeing how happy and beautiful they felt meant so much to me, and it just added to how special the day was.
Hillary’s skill and attention to detail are out of this world, but what really makes her stand out is how warm and caring she is. She has this way of making you feel so comfortable and like the most important person in the room. I’m beyond grateful to her for not just easing my nerves but for making all of us look and feel our best on such a big day. She’s seriously the best!
