Janay Beauty

ver had makeup stay so well and look so great after 12 hours dancing and talking. Highly recommend. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my wedding makeup. Loved it so much.

s so beautiful and absolutely stunning. Ashleigh was so professional and respectful. She has music playing, which really helped set the vibes of the morning. She even let us add one more girl day of. I really appreciate everything they did for us.

myself. I’m so grateful for her talent and care.

in a friend's wedding, I knew that having this team for my hair and makeup on my wedding day would be essential. The communication with Ashleigh, the owner, was timely, professional, and very helpful if I had questions about the flow of the day. I booked Autumn for hair and Kayla for makeup, who were both outstanding from start to finish. During my trial, they asked specific questions to help figure out my vision and were very understanding with the minor changes I requested on the big day. All of my bridesmaids were so impressed with how accurately they matched their foundation and captured their preferences. Kayla and Autumn are so sweet and bring a calming energy to the day that was so appreciated. They did a great job of adhering to the timeline and making sure everything went smoothly throughout the day. If you are looking for hair and makeup services for your wedding, do not hesitate to book with Janay Beauty - you will not regret it!

recommend her enough.

eriences. To clarify up front: Amber, the makeup artist who ultimately did my trial and all services on the wedding day, was phenomenal. She was kind, professional, and incredibly talented. I’ll be giving her a separate 5-star review. However, the way Ashleigh handled my booking process was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. I booked Janay Beauty on January 9, 2025, in good faith after hearing positive things from a friend. I signed their contract and paid the $500 deposit, and even submitted full payment for all 10 makeup services well ahead of the deadline. I respected all terms of the contract. Issues with Communication • My trial, scheduled for February 19, was canceled last-minute due to my assigned artist being hospitalized. I was sympathetic and patient as it was only February and the wedding is in May. I figured we had plenty of time to rebook the makeup trial. • I noticed Ashleigh posting on Instagram looking for makeup artists for my wedding date — without updating me. This was posted in the middle of March. That is when I emailed her for an update on the MUA. By April, Ashleigh informed me she’d be replacing my artist. That was understandable given the circumstances, but instead of providing a clear solution, she: • Suggested I start my makeup at 5:45 AM for a 5:30 PM ceremony (completely unreasonable). • Questioned whether 10 services could be completed in the timeline we agreed upon, despite this being outlined in my contract from day one. • Shockingly, almost 30 days before my wedding, she suggested refunding me instead of honoring the contract — essentially leaving me without a makeup artist at the last minute. This was unprofessional, unacceptable, and caused immense stress. Even after I reminded her I had paid in full for 10 people, she refused to work with me on adjustments unless it was on her terms. When I asked to remove one or two services to make it more manageable, she refused — despite earlier telling me she might cancel the entire booking. The lack of consistency and professionalism was astounding. When trial dates were finally offered (after months of delays), almost none worked for me because they were scheduled so late in the process. The only option I was left with was May 23 — the day before my wedding. While Amber handled it with grace, no bride should be forced into a trial less than 24 hours before her wedding day due to disorganization. Thankfully, Amber was absolutely incredible. She arrived on time, worked quickly and skillfully, completed all 10 people by 11:30 AM, and stayed for touch-ups until 12:30. She was everything you’d want in a wedding vendor: professional, talented, and kind. In fact, she was the opposite of everything Ashleigh made me fear leading up to the day. I cannot in good conscience recommend Janay Beauty as a company because of the way Ashleigh operates. The disorganization, poor communication, and complete disregard for the stress she caused me were unacceptable. No bride should ever be put in the position of nearly losing their makeup team a month before their wedding. If you do book Janay Beauty, I strongly suggest requesting Amber specifically. She was the only reason this vendor didn’t ruin my experience entirely.

on my wedding day!

and naturally covering my acne. She was kind and really took the time to understand what results I was hoping for.

l. Both Ashleigh and Kyra were so attentive in my trial to make sure that I felt like myself and that I loved my hair and make-up before the big day even happened. Everyone looked like elevated versions of themselves and their looks lasted all day. I couldn’t be more thankful for Ashleigh and Kyra’s talent and time! You will not be disappointed if you choose to book Janay Beauty!

e hair and makeup also stayed all day! I only had to touch up my lipstick once. Thank you so much for being such a big part of my day, I loved my makeup and hair!

hunny!!!

heir hair team for my wedding day about a month out! I could not recommend them enough.

amazing. She listened to my request and made me feel so beautiful. Her and her staff were professional and we were so happy to have them do our makeup. Highly recommend using Janay Beauty!

had never felt soo beautiful until she did it again on my wedding day !!! and the way i looked in photos was beyond breathtaking sparkly beauty that i imagined( i wanted the sparkle) she was so kind and amazing to work with and my girls and both moms just as amazing ! And my god my hair that was done i could not have asked for better it was exactly what i asked for ! The other important part is it all lasted throughout the wedding both hair and makeup and even going to bed lol I would recommend these ladies for EVERYTHING! I will be returning for future events ! <3

d changed the few things I wanted changed and it was absolutely gorgeous! Amber is amazing!!!! My makeup has and probably never will look as good as it did on my wedding day! She made sure to match my tan on my wedding day that I didn’t have on the trial day. We also had Maddie and Kayla doing makeup and everyone looked and felt great all day long. Communication was easy, all my emails were responded to very quickly and any questions or concerns I had were easily handled.

kind. I loved my bridal makeup by Camille and hair by Kyle SO much! The company also did an amazing job communicating and answering all of my questions in a timely manner as well. Thank you JanayBeauty!

so nice on my wedding day I loved it

maids, my mother, and my mother-in-law. Each of us got to choose the hair and makeup that we each wanted. The stylists were efficient with their time and did an excellent job. Highly recommend.

ere fun, timely and super talented! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you!

nes-Winkle & Maddie Hicks on makeup! Ashley did my bridal hair & I was beyond obsessed! She brought my vision to life perfectly. Amanda was my MUA (and spirit animal - she's seriously the best. Request her if you can)! Katie & Maddie meshed well with my group and did amazing work on my bridesmaids & mothers! All in all, the Janay Beauty team was professional and easy to work with and I absolutely adored my experience!

I did a trial run for both hair and makeup which was great and really helped me. I worked with Kyra and Kayla for my bridal hair/makeup, they were both amazing and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I had 8 bridesmaids plus my mom/MIL's hair and makeup, everything went really smooth and everyone was really happy with how their hair and makeup looked. Definitely would recommend booking with Janay Beauty!

p. I was lucky to be paired with Amber and Autumn. They were early to set up for my out of town wedding in Columbus, even with an early start time. If you're looking for a team to make you feel like an absolute QUEEN on your wedding day, look no further and BOOK them!

also did my entire bridal party plus moms and everyone looked amazing, despite a variety of skin tones/types and hair types. Amber was my touch-up artist for later in the night and she discretely popped in at just the right times when I was needing a touch-up. My hair style also stayed put all night without being crunchy from hairspray. I have a ton of hair and it held the beautiful twist from Kyra all night! Not to mention, they were both friendly and fun and got along great with everyone from the party. I would absolutely book them again!

id an excellent job of getting HMU done for the wedding party and mothers of the bride and groom. They did an excellent job of styling hair and makeup to compliment each person, making certain the style was what the person wanted yet would match for the wedding! And I was blown away by how fabulous my bridal hair and makeup turned out! I would 100% recommend this company for any HMU needs you have!

out the most beautiful up-do’s, gorgeous curls and made me feel like the most beautiful bride! Her time management was amazing and kept us right on schedule. She worked with me the entire process, did two trials to make sure we got it perfect, and always made sure everyone felt their most beautiful! A huge THANK YOU to Kyle and Janay Beauty for a perfect wedding day hair glam!

I am the bride who isn’t very knowledgeable about makeup so I was most anxious doing research for this. I could not be happier that I found Janay Beauty, they more than exceeded my expectations. I have never felt more beautiful as I did on my wedding day. The artists really listened to what I wanted and made me feel not only beautiful but like myself. They really helped to create the best version of me. Looking back at pictures, I absolutely love how I look. My husband is not a big fan of “overdone” makeup and he really loved my look as well! All my bridesmaids (I had 7 bridesmaids who got hair and makeup) along with my mom and my mother in law were also extremely happy with their hair and makeup. Everyone said how much the artists accentuated their features while also making them feel glamorous for the wedding day. Amber did my bridal makeup and Autumn did my hair - loved them both! They were fantastic to work with and very nice. Kyle and Amanda were the other stylists we had the day of my wedding. My girls, mom and MIL loved them both as well. Also, all the artists were early to the wedding venue the day of and finished earlier than expected. They are extremely professional, they work fast while also doing amazing work and everyone was easy to get along with. Amber also did my boudoir makeup which was incredible. She made me feel sexy and confident going into my shoot. Overall, I would highly recommend Janay Beauty for hair and makeup services. Their team does incredible work!

re so knowledgable on products and advised what looks best with skin tones, skin types etc. All the looks were very glam yet natural and not overdone or cakey. I highly recommend this team of vendors for your wedding, they made everyone feel and look so stunning!

with their team was such a fun time - Ashleigh, the owner, along with Kyra, who did my hair, helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I had never felt more confident than I did that day, and I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with the Janay team. They provide touch-up kits for both hair and makeup which is amazing!! They take their time and ensure every service they perform is perfection. We also finsihed ahead of schedule. They are awesome with staying on pace and ensuring the morning is very low stress. All of my girls felt gorgeous. We'd highly recommend Janay Beauty - you all made the biggest difference in our day!!!

so smooth. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! I would recommend them to everyone! Also, I had a trial run a few months before the big day which was extremely helpful.

and that we'd be a good fit. For my party, I had one artist for hair (Kyle) and another for makeup (Kiara). They did my trial at the same time which was perfect. They were super nice and open to what I wanted for my wedding look. All the girls in my bridal party wanted more subtle, natural looks and they were all very pleased! My makeup looked great in photos and lasted all day! Definitely recommend Janay Beauty, and specifically Kyle and Kiara for any occasion!

o school together and it was so nice catching up and having the trust of knowing her! I went into my trial with a lot of hesitation and anxiety. She listened to everything I said I didn’t like about my first few trials and truly understood what I wanted and went above and beyond. Her staff is amazing and the communication was great. I can’t recommend her team enough! I got so many compliments and I still do from people looking at our pictures. My wedding was everything I dreamed and imagined and Ashleigh and her team are to thank for that. I truly felt so beautiful and elegant.

fact the hair lady touched up everyone’s hair right before they left as well. Amber is amazing and so talented, my mom wants to take classes from her now! She saw my vision and made it come to life. I am so grateful I chose Janay and cannot recommend them enough. (I know you aren’t supposed to ask them to do ANYTHING last minute- my mom did, I asked her not to tho, she asked if they had extra time if they could do my aunt’s hair and makeup if we paid extra and they DID IT on the fly and did it beautifully! I was embarrassed they asked something like that last minute but was so happy they made it happen and we appreciate Janay so much. Thank you for your flexibility and Talent!)

d better. I was so worried my face would melt off day of. But they knew what they were doing! I had some very slight make up loss around my nose by the time we were at the end of the night at the hotel, but I can live with that. They were nice, did a good job and I have no complaints.

little special" request for makeup to life. I felt so so beautiful! Amber and Kyle also did hair for my 7 bridesmaids, MOB and MOG and my flower girl. They were incredible officient. 5/5 stars for my interactions with Kyle and Amber and their beautiful work! 3/5 stars for my experience leading up to the wedding. A tip if you book Janay Beauty is that email is the best way to communicate with Ashleigh, the owner. The inability to reach her by phone had me a little concerned since I had spoken to all of my other vendors either in-person or over then phone. When you are sending large amounts of money to someone, sometimes it's nice to know they're a real person. Also, Ashleigh will only accept Venmo, which was okay, but added to the disconcerting feelings. Our email coorespondence was generally good, but I did have to send a follow up email once or twice to receive a response. .... But, I felt much better after meeting her artists, Amber and Kyle at the trial. We shared phone numbers and they were available by phone or text if I needed them. Overrall, what matters most is your interactions with the artists and the results- which were A+. So, if you choose Janay Beauty, you can rest assured that your end result will be good.

the moment I met her during our hair trial. The booking process was super smooth and even if Janay was busy for other events or conferences, I heard back quickly from her assistant that she'd be in touch soon. Kyle was so fast we were all blown away! We had 7 ladies getting hair done and she finished ahead of schedule, even with a lunch break in between. She made my vision for my hair come true and it was perfect!! Couldn't have asked for a better stylist--highly recommend!

and every bride. I am a wedding events manager at a local venue and there is a reason they are one of our top vendors for hair and makeup. They are just the best. I would recommend them to everyone.

ure, but Janay Beauty's prices were amazing! Ashleigh personally stepped in to do my makeup when the artist I did my trial with quit the company and I really appreciated this level of ownership for what happened. I'm honestly really glad it ended up being Ashleigh who did my makeup, because it turned out even more amazing than when I did my trial! Every one of us looked stunning, our hair was amazingly done, and it was so much fun to have a full team there on my wedding day to glam us all up. Thanks so much to Ashleigh and team for making me and my family look gorgeous!!! Special shoutout to Brittany who KILLED it with my complicated up-do!!!!

nowledgeable and talented! Her team is excellent too. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional makeup for any type of event. She is a master at blending! She made my skin tone and foundation flawless. It was perfectly matched. She made the bronzer and blush flow so well with foundation. Honestly, I am truly blessed to have had her as my makeup artist for my wedding weekend! Her creativity is endless and she will make sure you feel special. Wonderful human, and a true professional in her field.

he team was so friendly and fun to work with. If you're like me and are completely overwhelmed with all the options for hair/makeup artists look no further, Janay Beauty is an amazing choice

d Ashleigh and her team!

beautiful. They were so fun and pleasant to work with, and I could not recommend them more!!
