Jessica did my makeup for my wedding in June this past summer and she was wonderful to work with. I loved her style of natural makeup for me and my bridal party, we were so happy with how it all turned out. Would highly recommend Jessica and her team, she was professional, communicated well, and did a great job. Thank you Jessica!

I waited a year after my wedding to write this review, but it's one I wish I had read before choosing this makeup artist. In short, Jessica herself is an excellent makeup artist, but the rest of her team and their behavior on my wedding day left me with a very bad experience.
At my trial, Jessica said that she would do the eye makeup of everyone in my bridal party and that her assistants would do the face makeup and prep. This did not happen. Jessica only did the makeup of me and my mother-in-law, and her assistants did everyone else. There was a very noticeable difference, whilst I looked bridal, everyone else looked like they were going clubbing. Thick black eyeliner, garish lipstick, etc. They all had to fix their own makeup after to look at all like themselves, which was so upsetting given how much it cost to have it professionally done. Furthermore, the hair artist could not do the hair style I had asked for, and instead of saying this and offering to find a solution, she repeatedly shamed me for having “too much hair” and saying “I don’t know where to put all this” (please note that my hair was only a couple of inches below the clavicle).
The biggest issue I had on the day was the amount of stress they brought to the morning. A few weeks before the wedding Jessica sent me a schedule and asked me to slot the bridal party in. Think “bridesmaid A at 10am, bridesmaid B at 11am”. We weren’t all staying in the same location, so I asked each member to show up at the time of their appointment. But the makeup and hair artists were faster than expected, and started harassing me to have everyone arrive early for their appointments. Jessica was very pushy about it too, and said “they (the assistants) have other jobs to get to and want to leave early, so you need to call everyone to get here”. It ended up making the morning extremely tense and had everyone racing around. They were trying to leave hours ahead of when they were scheduled to be done.
Overall, my makeup was gorgeous, but I am still sad about the way my hair turned out and the experience of my entire bridal party. We spent a lot of money on this service, including a required 20% gratuity, and it is still a dark spot on my wedding day.

Dear Phoebe,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I am disheartened to read y...
our feelings about your wedding day. As you mentioned your wedding was early April 2023. I have had a disadvantage recalling the exact events of the day as it is now April 2024. Due to the duration of time that has passed I wanted to take some time to reflect back on the day, review our email thread, and speak with my staff before responding.
I appreciate your feedback Phoebe, both positive and negative. It is essential as a small business owner to be open to how I can improve and grow professionally. I have discussed each of your points with the three staff members working that day with respect to you. As a group we work diligently to provide services with creativity, kindness, and integrity. I chose my staff not only based on practical ability. I also look for people that can stay on task despite unforeseen challenges. I expect this from myself as well. Again, I am very sorry you had a negative experience. That was not my intention for you, any of the clients I have worked with over the last 30 years, or any future clients. This is the first and only negative review I have received towards myself and my staff. It will not be forgotten or taken lightly.
I wish you all the best in your future Phoebe. I also hope your mother is doing well. I enjoyed speaking with her very much on your wedding day.
Sincerely,
Jessica

Jessica was incredibly professional and helpful for my sister's wedding. I was grateful for her communication leading up to the big day. We had to make a lot of changes (time, location, etc.), and she rolled with all the punches. She did a fantastic job with women who had different levels of comfort with make up and glam, and made every woman look their best. Would absolutely recommend for others to use!!
