Jesseca Barstad hair stylist/makeup artist

Jessica did a beautiful job doing hair and makeup for my wedding, she knew exactly what I wanted and did amazing! everyone looks amazing but natural, exactly like I wanted!!

Highly recommended stylist. The makeup and hair was so beautiful! She work with your schedule. Timing was perfect too.

I can’t thank Jesseca enough for doing my makeup for my wedding. She was so very kind and let me tell you one amazing makeup artist! We were blessed to have her take care of us for my wedding! If your looking for a makeup artist for your next event do not look any further, Jesseca has the talent and is one amazing women! I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed

Jesseca did a beautiful job for our makeup looks. It was exactly what I pictured and she was very efficient, not to mention very friendly. She also did a great job on my hair and it held beautifully from 9am to 5pm with no issues.

Jesseca did MUAH for my engagements, and my wedding! She also did MUAH for my Mother, MOH, and MIL. All of my trial runs and the big day were PERFECT! She is truly an artist and I was so impressed by how creative and knowledgeable she was! All of her supplies are fresh and sanitary. She was so great at answering my millions of questions, AND all of the questions that my family asked her about their appts as well. She was always so prompt and efficient with updating my invoice (I’m ashamed to say that we changed the plan on her more than once!) Did I mention that I had one million questions?! She answered them ALL with grace and was so quick to respond anytime that I communicated with her. On wedding day, it rained off and on, and she restructured everything so that my MUAH was perfect for every single photo session, all while doing MUAH for my MIL, Mother, and MOH as well. I’m so happy that I chose her, because I didn’t have to worry about a single thing for MUAH for any of my wedding appts. <3

I first learned about Jesseca on a photographer’s post on Instagram with Jesseca’s business tagged (you gotta love the power of social media!) I sent her a message, and she got back to me super quickly with a questionnaire to get to know me and my wants and needs for my big day. Something I really appreciated about Jesseca was her honesty— if she could save me any money at all she would! The first time I met her was the day of my bridals, and we instantly clicked! I left, not only feeling freaking gorgeous, but like I had made a new friend. She genuinely loves getting to know her brides and making them feel their very best! I was all nerves the morning of my wedding day, and she reassured me that all those feelings were normal and that my day would be perfect. I’ve always been very self-conscious of my skin, and I can’t say thank you enough for helping me look and feel beautiful on the best day of my life! One more thing: Don’t worry about the makeup coming off or looking bad towards the end of the night— 8+ hours in, and my hair and makeup still looked flawless. Jesseca is the very best at what she does, and I would recommend her to all brides!

Jesseca was the best to work with. I was really nervous about not looking natural on wedding day but after bridal preview makeup I knew I made the right choice with her. She was so friendly and fun to have be apart of our day.

Jesseca was such a pleasure on the day of my daughter's wedding. She was on time, very professional, and very efficient. She was a calm in the midst of a beautiful but hectic day. I was thankful to have her presence and expertise!

Loved working with Jessica! She was so great during the rescheduling of our wedding day due to COVID and was so kind during the wedding day as well! Was on time and very professional but also so personable as well! I’ve never trusted someone more with my makeup than her 😊

Highly recommend! Jesseca was personable and easy to communicate with. I had a hair and makeup trial with her and she was able to take my photo ideas and fit them to me. She consulted on preparations I should be doing up to the wedding in order for the makeup and hair to look flawless and last. The day of the wedding she was on time, brought all her own supplies, including lighting. She moved through the wedding party quickly while taking care to give each person detailed attention. She uses high quality products, keeps everything clean, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I did not feel overdone in any way. She was able to provide a look that lasted that looked natural and elegant. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you Jesseca!

Jesseca is awesome! She did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and makeup for me and my bridal party wedding day. Her contract was clear and straightforward. Payment was super easy. She is an awesome person. Easy going. Made me feel comfortable. She went above and beyond when it was time for my photographer/videographer to get pictures. She made sure the little details were perfect. I was an out of town bride but if I am ever in the area and need services I will definitely be scheduling with her.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jesseca worked with me quickly after my wedding hair/makeup plans fell through last minute. She was super fast at responding to emails and very friendly. She was wonderful at creating the perfect look while keeping it looking natural and classy. She was very professional, clear in what to expect, and did an amazing job. I will definitely be using and recommending her for future hair and makeup needs.

My original makeup artist caused some last-minute drama so I had to find a new MUA literally the day before my wedding. Through a friend of a friend, I found Jesseca and she literally stepped in at the last minute to save the day. She was so easy to work with and her work was amazing. My sister was doing my makeup but she did the bridesmaids' makeup and they all looked so great and their makeup lasted through photos and a ceremony in literally 106 degrees in West Texas! I can't recommend her enough.

Jessica did such an AMAZING job on my hair and make up!! The trials were just as wonderful too! I did my bridal portraits with my trial hair and make up which made for a much more laid back wedding day for our photographer! Jessica did exactly what I wanted on hair and makeup! She played in my colors to my shadow, it was truly wonderful. She is truly wonderful!!!! I would 10/10 recommended her to anyone!

Jesseca does great work. She is very down-to-earth and fun to be around. She has good wedding experience and thinks about little things you don't. She brought an extra artist to help with my bridal party hair and makeup and we got done way earlier than expected. Even with bad cell reception, she figured out to get to our venue out in the country and get us wedding-ready. I'm not a big fan of make-up so at first I was afraid it looked too heavy. But it looked amazing in my photos, and it had a way of "settling" so it lasts all day and night. My hair does not hold curl well and I loved my hair all night!!! I recommend getting a trial for sure first, it makes for less stress and unknown the day of.

Jesseca was awesome! She was so sweet and very quick! My hair held so well THE WHOLE NIGHT! Getting your hair done for your wedding day can be stressful.. but Jesseca swooped in and got it done right on time! She made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed! My hair is pretty short so I was worried the look I picked wouldn’t work but it did! I definitely recommend her for any service you need!

I came from out of town, and Jesseca came to me at my venue! This was a huge relief. Having never met her before, she was able to do an amazing job on my hair with suggested pictures I showed her. It was a little bit of a windy day (outdoor wedding) and she made my hair look stunning! She suggested pulling most of it up since I have finer hair, and she could tease it a little to create some volume. Plus then I didn’t have to worry about it blowing in my face. She has an easy to talk to personality but also keeps it professional.

She did a fantastic job. Great personality and fun to work with- overall amazing!

LOVED Jessica! My wedding day was full of ice and rain and she made my hair stay perfectly! She did exactly what I wanted and made suggestions as to how to keep it looking amazing all night! She was so accommodating from bridal portraits to the big day! She also has such a fun and bubbly personality that anyone could get along with! She made me feel and look beautiful on the most important day of my life! I would 100% recommend her services for anyone’s wedding day!

Jesseca is THE best!! She took the time to really listen to my vision for my hair and makeup, and she helped me figure out the exact look that I was going for with her expert knowledge. She made me feel so relaxed the day of, and she made me look and feel like a princess! My wedding would not have been the same without her. You will NOT regret having Jesseca be a part of your special day!! Thanks again Jesseca!!

Jesseca was such a joy to work with and did an incredible job with my hair! My updo looked perfect all night and I received so many compliments! She also really helped calm my nerves and she truly has such a kind heart. I was worried about my makeup after my makeup artist left and she took me outside to better lighting to help fix it! She went above and beyond and I can’t recommend her enough! You can tell she loves what she does!

Jesseca was absolutely fantastic! I changed my wedding date at the last minute and had less than two months before the big day, and the makeup artist I was using stopped answering my messages and phone calls. In a panic I got ahold of Jesseca and she had a spot available not just for the wedding but also for me to come in a week prior to find out exactly what I wanted. My makeup was stunning for my wedding and stayed perfect the entire night! Jesseca was open to all of my ideas and worked hard to make sure I was 100% happy with the look! I would definitely recommend Jesseca to any bride looking for a makeup artist or hairstylist for their big day!

Jesseca did hair and makeup for almost all of my bridal party and mothers in July of 2017. I was overly satisfied with my experience with her! She is so personable!! Anytime I see her out and about, she talks to me as if we are old friends. Overall, I was completely in love with my look, how comfortable she made me feel, and the ongoing relationship I have with her! She has definitely made my whole wedding experience live on through just how awesome she is!

Jesseca was the hair stylist and makeup artist for our wedding. With the buzzing energy of the big day it felt great to have her there... She truly felt more like family than anything else! I would recommend her for any bride!

Jesseca was absolutely amazing! She already had a wedding party booked on the day I asked her, but she made it work so I could have an affordable and amazing look on my wedding day. My hair held up all night and my makeup looked great all the way into the reception. She even stopped by right before to touch up anything out of place.

Jesseca was the best! She showed up on time, was very professional, and of course did an amazing job! With the stresses of planning a wedding, it’s nice to not have to worry about looking beautiful and feeling beautiful on your wedding day! She made sure I was happy every step of the way!

Jesseca was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Her personality could light up a room and calm any bride's nerves on their wedding day! She knew exactly what she was doing and I couldn't have been happier with how my hair/makeup, as well as my bridal party's hair/makeup looked! We got so many compliments and it's all thanks to Jesseca! I would choose her again in a heartbeat!
