If I could give Jillian more than 5 stars, I would in a heart beat! Before becoming a bride, I produced country music videos (CMT & GAC). I hired Jillian every chance I could for some major country artist video shoots and was so impressed that ...
when it was my turn to be glammed, she was my first phone call. On my wedding day, Jillian made me feel like the most beautiful person on the planet!!! She is so professional but SO much fun. She really listens and understands exactly what look you're going for and is able to execute that look with perfection! I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a wonderful glam experience! She is the best of the best for hair and makeup!

Excellent service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -Katie Mallett Photography

rking with them. She was very prompt on any communication, mostly email. She had sent me a schedule soon before the wedding so I was able to send to bridesmaids. She arrived on time and got right to work. She did amazing work with all the girls. Her assistant did great as well. My favorite part about Jillian is that she stays with me for 8 hours total and I ended up hiring her for 2 hours more. So, while getting photos after the wedding, she was there fixing my hair and makeup. Just prior to the grand march, she put my hair into a ponytail that put together in a lobby of a resort. Looking back, I am definitely happy I hired her and kept her extra time until grand march. I would highly recommend Jillian both for great HMU during wedding day but also the extra perk of her being there for at least 8 hours. My girls loved it as well.

ow, past our wedding date. I will be using her over and over for all my special events. Jillian is a pro. I truly believe there is nobody better out there. She did all my bridesmaids, moms, grandmas and myself for our June 29th, 2018 wedding date and everyone was thrilled. It was so nice for everyone to be so confident and relieved to not have the stress of hair and makeup added on to the day. It was stress free as could be. She even spent the time to talk with my mom who wears extensions for a full head of hair because of alapecia, and learn what would make her confident and happy. I didn't think there was a way to make my mom confident with her hair, as she is always super self conscious about it, and that day, I have never seen her so confident :) Also, I adored my hair and makeup. Jillian did a trial with me prior to my wedding and she kept going until I was completely satisfied. I was the entire time but it was fun to see all the fun things she could do. The day of the wedding, she nailed it. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup and everyone said I looked like a celebrity. I felt like one and I have never felt so beautiful. The day of, Jillian stuck around and followed me to my first look (when it was 100 degrees out), and my ceremony, keeping me fresh and perfect for more of the day than I had expected. I was so thrilled and it was so fun having her there. Her personality and skills are so worth having around. I LOVE JILLIAN AND HER TALENT IT OUT OF THIS WORLD. Hire her, and you won't regret it. She is amazing. <3 I wish she could do my hair and makeup every day.

d me; she helped me with so much more than just hair and makeup. Jillian recommended the bridal salon that I ended up buying my gown from. She helped me find the best spray tan! She also pointed me in the right direction when it came to finding an amazing hair colorist and cut! Jillian is worth her weight in gold and I could not have pulled it off without her! She came to our location the morning of the wedding and was able to complete 3 hair styles and 4 makeup applications in just a few hours. I’m pretty sure she’s a magician! LoL! All the girls LOVED their makeup and looked stunning!!! I must also add, she was able to do my hair better than I could have imagined. I had a trial at another salon before finding Jillian & it was a nightmare. Thank you Jillian! I will forever recommend you!! direction

If you are looking for a professional, reliable, and talented hair and makeup artist for your Big Day, stop here!! Jill is artistically inclined and widely knowledgable on styles and trends. This made me feel very comfortable because I had an ...
idea of what I was looking for, but was relying on Jill for her input and recommendations. This, combined with her patience the day-of made for an amazing experience. She does your hair and makeup, but it doesn't just stop there. She makes herself available for a good chunk of the rest of your day to do touch ups. After the flow of tears throughout the day (of course happy ones!), I honestly do not know what I would've done without her by my side. You will 100% be making the right decision by choosing Jill for your special day - she will make your day more perfect than it is already bound to be.

Jillian did hair and makeup for my wedding, (for myself, my bridesmaids, my mother and my MIL) and she was a dream to work with throughout the entire process. During my hair and makeup trial, Jill was responsive to my feedback and really captur...
ed the look I was going for; in all honesty she exceeded my expectations. On the day of the wedding, Jill was willing to start earlier than our original planned time, to accommodate my schedule (she actually showed up half an hour early than planned, which allowed more time for photos). Jill was very flexible and patient throughout the entire day- when a couple of bridesmaids asked to change hairstyles (after she had already started their initial look), Jill did exactly what they asked, without hesitation. I was impressed that Jill did touch ups for pre-ceremony photos with my bridal party, but was completely blown away when I arrived at the venue and saw Jill there. She had traveled to the venue to do touch ups for the entire bridal party and stayed on site until the ceremony started (which was 45 minutes later than expected). Not only did she make me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day, she ensured my entourage looked and felt amazing as I did! If you have ever seen photos of Jill's work, it is obvious that she is extremely talented. It's unusual for one individual to excel at both makeup and hair, but take my word when I say that Jill is the package deal, she truly is amazing in both areas. In addition to Jill's talent- her passion, professionalism and expansive knowledge of makeup/hair- made working with her so seamless. I would 100% recommend Jillian to any bride!

Jillian came to the rescue and helped to cover up the bags under his eyes. I never even knew he had hives until after the wedding! I'm not one to write reviews, however I feel like everyone needs to know that Jillian is the hair and makeup artist for their wedding. With Jillian, you don't have to worry about any of the details. She was FANTASTIC!!! Still one month after the wedding, my husband hasn't stopped commenting on how beautiful I looked the day of our wedding!
