Hi all,
I got married in July this year and Jae Lee did the hair and makeup for me (the bride) and 13 others. She and her team did an AMAZING job. First of all, with so many getti...
ng their hair and make up done I was worried we would have to start the process really early. That was not the case. She brought 5 people to do hair and makeup for all 14 people from 10am-2pm. That being said, it did not feel rushed in the slightest. They took their time to perfect each hair style and get each make up look just right. They gave me extra supplies to do touch up throughout the night, but honestly it wasn’t even needed. Everything stayed soooooo well. I had SEVERAL of my people tell me after the fact that this was their “favorite hair style” they have ever gotten for a wedding and “best makeup I have ever received.” I am SO glad that I went to Jae Lee on such an important day. Like I mentioned, so well organized and the results were STUNNING! Thank you again for making us all feel beautiful on the day of my wedding

gle woman felt both beautiful and comfortable with her wedding look, which says so much about their talent and warmth. They really listened to everyone’s preferences and made sure each style suited them perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better glam team on such a special day.

re responsive and answered all of my questions. Jae, Carolynn, and Nikki were my day of team. They brought all of our hair and makeup visions come to life! We were so pampered and relaxed as we spent the morning getting ready. Their attention to detail, and taking the time to understand each girl's visions and concerns ensured that we all felt our absolute best. Our hair and makeup stayed all night long through laughs, tears, humidity, and a packed dance floor!
I have used their services twice, once as a bride and once as a bridesmaid. My makeup was fantastic (and I am very picky)
From the start JL make up was quick to respond and easy to communicate with! Allison brought my bridal hair dreams to life! She’s amazing and so kind! Vitoria and Rochelle made my ...
bridesmaids look absolutely stunning! I cannot thank all 3 of them enough! They were timely and efficient! 10/10 recommend!
I used JL Studio hair and makeup for my wedding this past September. Both my sisters had used them, and all three our weddings we felt like queens!! From the moment we booked them,...
JL studios took the time to get to know us and personalize our experience as much as possible. They did an impeccable job with the whole party’s hair/makeup, and they truly catered to the style we wanted; communication and day of coordination was seamless. I could not recommend JL Studio more!! <3
Jae and Carolynn are THE BEST!! I got married on an 85-degree day and took hours of pictures outside, and my hair and makeup held up perfectly. They are not only incredible at what...

I’ve never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day, and I owe it all to Jae Lee and her incredible team! As someone who isn’t a huge makeup wearer, I was a bit nervous about loo...
king too overdone, but Jae gave me the perfect natural glam that was just stunning.
Working with Jae Lee and her team was an absolute joy. They brought so much fun and positive energy to the morning of my wedding, making the experience even more memorable. My bridal party and I looked fabulous, and everyone commented on how amazing our makeup looked.
One of the highlights was the adorable touch-up bag I received, filled with everything I needed to stay fresh throughout the day. It was such a thoughtful touch that really showed Jae’s attention to detail.
Despite my extremely sensitive skin, all the products used were high-end and caused no reactions whatsoever. My makeup lasted beautifully all day, through tears, laughter, and dancing.
I cannot recommend Jae Lee enough for any bride looking for a talented and delightful makeup artist. Thank you, Jae, for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day!

She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day.
I could not have been happier with my decision to use JL Makeup Studio for hair and makeup services for my wedding! Jae led the makeup team and Carolynn led the hair team and they ...
were able to complete hair (9) & makeup (8) even faster than projected with two other team members! They were professional, personable, and truly listened to what I envisioned. My bridesmaids absolutely loved their hair and makeup as well. My mom has been picky in the past when other people have done her hair, but loved hers for the day of my wedding and said Carolynn did it exactly as she pictured! All of our hair and makeup stayed on nicely throughout the entire day, afternoon, and evening! If you are looking for high quality services in the Pittsburgh area, these ladies are it! Can’t recommend JL enough!!
Jae Lee was incredible! I had a small hiccup with another stylist, but Jae Lee jumped right in and made sure my wedding day makeup was perfect . I felt the most beautiful on my big...

rson you want to be with on the morning of your wedding! During my wedding make-up trial, she provided good suggestions and ideas on what would look best based on my inspiration pictures and my own facial features. She is SO talented! My bridesmaids looked incredible. Everyone's make-up looked very natural and lasted the entire night. I cannot thank Jae enough for such a positive wedding make-up experience. You will not regret booking with her!!
Jae, Dana, and her whole team were amazing to work with and did a fabulous job. During the planning process, Jae was great to communicate with and was very responsive to all my que...
stions. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, but Jae and Dana were able to work with me on a hair and makeup look that really made me feel beautiful. They were extremely prompt and efficient with arriving and getting set up the day of the wedding, and Jae timed everything perfectly so me and all my bridesmaids were ready with plenty of time. Jae and her team also helped each bridesmaid and mom get a look that was cohesive but also suited to them. Would highly recommend Jae and her team!
I cannot say enough good things about JL Makeup Studio & Beauty Boutique! Jae did my makeup, and Sammie did my hair. I was so happy with my look! My bridesmaids loved them too and ...
all looked gorgeous. Jae and Sammie took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted during the trials and executed the look perfectly on the day of my wedding. They were very quick to respond to emails about questions that I had leading up to my wedding. I absolutely loved how light and natural my makeup felt on my wedding day. I felt like myself, and the makeup looked absolutely beautiful! My updo also stayed in place allll day and night, even after dancing like crazy all night. They are also so friendly, personable, and easy to talk to, so when getting ready the morning of the wedding, it felt like chatting with and hanging out with your girl friends. I 100% recommend JL Makeup Studio and Beauty Boutique for your wedding!!
Jae was amazing to work with! She has great communication, which is key especially when booking makeup so far in advanced! I was sooo nervous for my trial (no idea why ha!) but Jae...
made me feel like an old friend. Her skills are on point, she gave me exactly what I asked for. The day of my wedding, all my makeup stayed put… through tears and sweat. I would choose Jae 100000 times!!!
Jae, Dana and the rest of the team KILLED IT. They are so talented and I am so happy I chose them to be my beauty squad for my big day. They made myself and bridal party feel so co...
nfident too! I would give them ALL the stars.
Jae was the greatest. Super professional and easy to get along with. She made me feel comfortable at all times. Her work was amazing and I would not hesitate to hire her again.
I booked with Jae (makeup) and hair 5 months prior to my wedding. Jae was great with communicating and helping with details for my special day. Her shop is so cute, clean and spaci...
ous. My family and I had a great time getting our hair and makeup done at the shop. I loved how everything looked and turned out. I would highly suggest booking with her ASAP if you have a wedding or even coming up. I felt beautiful and confident and only had to touch up my lips. The makeup she used didn't make me feel caky or too much. Everything looked absolutely beautiful. My family loved and raved about her services, too. Thank you!!
Bri, Ashley and Carolynn were our makeup and hair artists for our wedding day and they were wonderful. I felt beautiful and confident, and the makeup stayed on all day. Highly reco...

I booked with Jae (makeup) and Stacy (hair) for my Sept 2020 wedding. We had 7 for makeup and 9 for hair. Everyone looked absolutely stunning!! They got all our looks done in recor...
d time and the makeup STAYED ALL NIGHT. Through tears and dancing and sweating. I also did a trial with them and booked makeup with Briann for my boudoir shoot. I was worried my acne would show in pictures but Jae was able to cover it all and make it look so natural. I cannot emphasize how beautiful these ladies all made me feel, and how amazing my bridesmaids and moms looked.
Since the second I met Jae Lee – we were INSTANTLY dear friends. She has got an incredible energy and about her that makes her an absolute pleasure to work with – she is passionat...
e about her work, knowledgeable about the products and cherishes her clients. She was a breath of fresh air during what was otherwise a quite hectic wedding planning process, given the pandemic. Jae Lee made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable and relaxed. She and her team go to great lengths to run a safe, clean and careful business that is centered around core values like professionalism, talent and top-notch customer service. Throughout the process, she was responsive, accommodating, attentive to detail and seemed genuinely excited to work with us. From our first introduction through the makeup trial run to my goodbye hug and her day-of care package gift – Jae Lee made the process seamless for me and now I can’t imagine my big day without her. For all of these reasons – it is no surprise that I intend to keep working with Jae as much as I can moving forward.
If the pictures on here aren’t enough to prove Jae is the one to get just go to her Instagram account! Her work is flawless and natural. The best out there. My makeup looked fresh ...
the entire day without any touch up’s! I had horrible breakouts the week of my wedding as well which you would never know from her makeup! I just received our wedding photos, and everything looked perfect all night long. She also works with you to create the exact look you want. I could not be happier going with Jae- all my bridesmaids looked flawless as well!
I used Jae for makeup service for my September wedding, and I cannot say enough about how happy I was with her and her staff! She listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt lik...
e myself while still looking done up. My bridesmaids, mother and mother in law's also looked amazing! Jae and her staff were so great at listening to what each person wanted to feel comfortable and look their best. Highly recommend!
I can not recommend the JL Team enough! Madyson did the makeup for my Sept. 2020 wedding and from the booking to the day of the wedding she was nothing but professional and extreme...
ly kind! I got so many compliments on my makeup and best of all it stayed on all night! I would absolutely book Madyson again for a future event.
I recently got married on August 8, 2020 and chose Jae and her team to do the bridal party's hair and makeup (she was recommeded to me by my photographer). In total, we had 9 ladie...
s for hair and 7 ladies for makeup. Jae Lee (makeup artist), Sammie (hair stylist), and the two other assistants were all remarkable! Being that our wedding was during COVID, Jae had a ton of extra precautions in place (a different set of makeup brushes for each girl and other additional sanitation measures). Jae was so responsive to me from the very beginning of planning...from scheduling my trial to answering my millions of questions, she kept me feeling stress-free the entire planning process. I was worried that my makeup would wear off as the day went on since it was an August wedding and most of the events would be taking place outside, but she assured me my makeup would stay looking fresh, and she was right! The only thing I touched up throughout the day was my lipstick (she packed me a little makeup bag with necessities/extra makeup so now I have my lipstick color from my wedding to keep forever)! Jae is extremely talented and knowledgeable. She knows the latest makeup trends and listens to your personal likes/dislikes. Thank you, Jae, for making me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day!
Jae and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! Not only did all of the girls look stunning, but she was beyond understanding / flexible throughout the entire COVID situati...
on (and as a bonus she's just a fun person to hang out/talk with). I cannot recommend her enough! Jae - thank you so so much for making me look and feel so beautiful on my big day!
Jae helped me out when my coworker backed out from doing makeup for my wedding last minute. She was extremely responsive to my many emails, which is so important for a stressed out...
bride! I wish I had found her from the very beginning!!! She was so fun to hang out with the day of and made me and my bridesmaids look beautiful! They couldn’t stop raving about how good she is at what she does. If I lived in the area I would be using her services on the regular. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding makeup. You will not regret it.
I cannot say enough about Jae Lee. From the beginning she was MORE than accommodating, especially with COVID thrown into the mix. She completely nailed the exact look I was going f...
or, all while being the most down to earth person to work with. She understood all my needs & exceeded all expectations. Her work speaks for itself, but her personality totally won me over. 10/10 recommend her & her staff! My bridesmaids cannot wait to use her in the future! Thank you so much Jae Lee for making me feel so confident and glamorous on my big day!
From the beginning I knew I needed Jae and her team after absolutely loving my make-up for my best friends wedding I was a bridesmaid in. She made the entire process so easy, and m...
ade my mother, who wasn't so sure about getting her make-up professionally done feel so beautiful. She uses all the best products so you're set even if you have sensitive skin. Also, you need the airbrush!! Everyone looked FLAWLESS. All the bridesmaids were so happy with the way they looked and loved having Jae and her team hang out with us while we got ready! We even got little touch up kits, which is such a smart idea! My make-up was perfect from the trial to the day of and I've never felt more beautiful. Jae listened to everything I wanted and just enhanced my trial look to make me wedding day ready. She was also extremely prompt and timed the day and each girl perfectly. You can't go wrong with Jae, book her now! :)
I cannot recommend JL Makeup Studio enough! For my wedding in October we had Samantha doing our hair and Jae for our makeup. Both women are INCREDIBLE!!! They are so talented and h...
onestly just a great time to be around. I was really nervous going into my hair and makeup trial. I never wear makeup and I'm extremely picky over my hair, plus these were strangers and I didn't know if we would talk or sit in a weird silence, overall just very nervous. I walked in and they made me feel like we had been friends all of our lives. They are the sweetest women, which is wonderful because they are SO good at what they do. My trial went perfect and they really listened to my feedback and made the very minor changes I asked for. The morning of my wedding was honestly one of my favorite memories of the day. They made a morning that could have been filled with stress and nerves turn into hanging out with friends and getting all glammed up. Overall amazing women who are very talented, you won't go wrong booking with anyone on their team.
Jae is absolutely phenomenal to work with! We are so lucky that we had her for our special day in June. My friend first used Jae's company a couple years prior, and I knew that I ...
wanted her to do mine for my wedding. Her work is amazing - I felt like my makeup was natural and not at all overdone. From the start, she was professional and accommodating. She responded promptly, helped us figure out timing for getting ready that day, and delivered flawless makeup for my bridal party the day of my wedding, including across a range of complexions. She had an assistant with her who was equally skilled. So, what makes Jae stand out from everyone else? Other than her incredible talent, she is a genuinely warm person who is fun to be with. Jae even included a small touch-up bag for me that came in super handy - especially the lipstick sample and face mask for the next day. Jae even replied to my bridesmaid's question after the wedding about where to find more of those amazing face masks. She's thoughtful, talented, and a must-hire! Thank you for making my day perfect!
Jae and her team are absolutely fantastic! I had been following Jae for 4 years on Instagram and knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my wedding day. It was the easiest and most ...
confident decision I made in entire wedding process (besides saying "Yes" to my now husband, of course). Jae does incredible work, always classy and on point with all of her brides and their bridal parties! Even my mother, who never does her makeup and did not initially want it done professionally for the wedding, decided she DID want to after seeing Jae in action. My mother looked beautiful! Jae does a trial with the bride, so you know exactly what to expect, and she will travel to you on your wedding day. She is very professional and pleasant to work with. You will be so glad you chose her!
Jae and her team are hands down the most amazing and fun group I have ever met. They were amazing to work with through the whole process from my trial to day of the event. I litera...
lly do not have a bad thing to say about these women. They completed the hair and makeup for myself plus 9 and they made the whole process seamless and actually finished an hour ahead of schedule which was amazing because then we had more time for pictures. Also she is so easy to communicate with!! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs hair and makeup done!
Jae was absolutely amazing!! I was very nervous about getting my makeup done because I have very sensitive skin and some allergies, and I usually don’t like the way my eye makeup l...
ooks. I explained all these things to her at my trial and she listened so intently, making notes of everything and using only products she felt best for me. The trail makeup was so beautiful and the wedding day turned out even better than that! All my girls looked stunning!!! She was even more than flexible when I made a mistake with my scheduling and was able to help me resolve it. On top of everything else, she is very friendly and easy to talk to. She is very kind and sweet! She thought of everything we would need, evening bringing her own lighting! I can’t say enough how overly excited I am about her services!! I would nightly recommend her for any event where you want to look your best!
Jae did the makeup for myself and my bridesmaids on my wedding day and she was nothing short of fantastic! I can't believe I was so lucky to have been able to book her for our wedd...
ing date and I'm very thankful to have made a working relationship with such a professional MUA like her. I had a great experience during my bridal trial in the few months leading up to the wedding and was so excited after leaving because I knew she would do an excellent job for the rest of my girls too. Everyone loved working with Jae and I'm so happy to have had the chance to be beautified by such an amazing artist. Also, her price is very affordable for such high quality work, which was an added bonus!
Jae Lee and her team were fabulous. I loved mine and my bridal party's make up. Everyone looked naturally gorgeous and the pictures came out wonderful. Jae was so cool from start t...
o finish. She listened and did exactly what I wanted and worked with our early scheduled day. I would definitely recommend her!
Jae Lee was absolutely amazing!! I do not wear a lot of make up and neither do my bridesmaids. She made us feel comfortable and worked with us to make us feel naturally beautiful!...
! I felt like a princess on my wedding day - and not overdone!! I highly recommend her to any bride!!
Jae and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! From my initial inquiry, she was able to answer all questions so quickly and thoroughly. My trial went amazing, I had many d...
ifferent pictures, different ideas and she was able to turn create my dream look instantly. On the day of, she took her time, but was extremely efficient and everyone was done in plenty of time. She brought along Madyson to assist with make-up, and every single bridesmaid and mother looked gorgeous. Everyone got so many compliments and our make-up lasted ALL day and night!
Sammie did my hair, and I fell in love with my hair at my trial. On the day of, she had an even better idea of how to make it look / stay better, I completely trusted her and my hair looked amazing and stayed all day! Amy also came along to assist with hair. Everyone's hair lasted all day, they even offered touch ups to the girls that went earlier in the morning. And when my mother in law showed up after getting her hair done somewhere else (and was unhappy) Sammie did not hesitate to totally fix everything, and did not leave until we all felt beautiful :)
I've always been so nervous getting professional hair/make-up done because I can be picky and indecisive, but these girls were SO easy to work with and I trusted them completely, and they completely killed it. Plus we had SO much fun getting ready!!! I'd honestly recommend these guys over and over again.
Jae, Katrina, and their team were seriously AMAZING! My hair and makeup were absolutely perfect and choosing them was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I felt so beautiful and m...
y hair/makeup lasted all night long with no touch ups. I had multiple hair trials with Katrina because I’m super indecisive and she made me feel so comfortable while helping me figure out the perfect hairstyle in the process. I can’t say enough about how great they are! Highly recommend!
i LOVED working with Jae!! She is super easy to talk to which helps during your trial and explaining your inspiration for your wedding makeup.
I scheduled my trial the same day a...
s my bridal shower and it was so fun!! After my shower I had a few small things I wanted to change after seeing some photos. Jae was excellent in noting those things and gave me the makeup of my dreams on my wedding day!!
I have oily skin and got married in July and my makeup lasted alll day long! ( i even kept my lashes on the following day). I loved my makeup in all of my photos too and couldn't be happier!
I had a big group of girls and they all looked beautiful. Jae and her assistant were super professional and efficient. We did not feel rushed at all! I highly recommend if you want a stress free process & stunning makeup of your choice!
Jae Lee was absolutely incredible to work with! From the first time we talked I knew she was the only makeup artist I could imagine being there for me and my girls on my big day! H...
er work truly speaks for itself!! She was flexible, understanding, and professional beyond words. I am so happy I had her as part of my glam squad!
