. Funny enough I have showed that same photo to many other wedding makeup artists and never once came close to the look she gave me!

I’m so thankful!

beauty. 

eup absolutely perfect, but she truly went above and beyond. From recording my first look on my wedding day and even sewing one of my bridesmaid’s dresses when it ripped. I genuinely could not have asked for anything more and cannot recommend Jen highly enough!

p. Prior to my wedding she recommended products and offered a makeup trial where she was so patient and kind. Jen is professional, thoughtful, and SO talented! All of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks and multiple said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had. Everyone looked beautiful and entirely themselves. I truly felt the most beautiful and confident and had ever felt, and the makeup lasted all day! I highly, highly recommend choosing Jen!!

ways than I could have imagined—calming my nerves, helping with last-minute details, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made all the difference. My makeup lasted perfectly all night and photographed beautifully. I’m so grateful for her talent and her heart—she truly made my day unforgettable. 💕

couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!! Love you Jen!!! 

so a phenomenal teacher! 

100 degree weather and lots of dancing! I cannot be more grateful. Thank you so much Jen!

cess. The skincare evaluation and makeup trial allowed me to be fully ready for my wedding beauty routine. On wedding day, she steamed my wedding dress, adjusted my dress during first look and family photos, and even took care of a bug bite I got before the ceremony! She constantly was making sure I was looking and feeling my best on the wedding day.

up. And if I did want to make a few touch ups, she very kindly gave me a kit to do so. She is not only an expert makeup artist, but also someone who is there to help you through the nerves of your big day and make sure you look perfect in your wedding photos. When my wedding dress got a little dirty before the ceremony, she helped clean it and then carry it during the rest of the photos so that it would stay clean. I highly recommend Jen as she will make your natural beauty stand out so well in both photos and in-person!

uestion both my mom and I could’ve had and throughout the entire process she was extremely professional and kind. As someone who has been in many weddings, I was very skeptical about getting professional makeup done because I wasn’t happy with any makeup that I had professionally done…..until I met Jen!!!!! Jen has a true gift. She exceeded every single expectation I had. Even my husband was obsessed with my makeup! To this day, everyone at my wedding still talks about how beautiful yet natural my makeup looked! Jen is truly a professional. From the initial meet and greet where she discusses what skin products would make your skin glow for your big day, to the makeup trial where she spends ample time bringing your vision to life, to the actual wedding day where she is punctual, kind, patient, and hardworking. I could not be happier with Jen and JKinford Beauty Group and I could not recommend them more. Please book with Jen, you will NOT regret it!!

aids! She listened and asked great follow up questions to get to the crux of what we wanted. She was thoughtful and very level headed, great energy around to have on wedding day! Couldn’t recommend her enough

stened and made my ideas reality. So glad to have had her calm energy right before walking down the aisle!

. As someone who had concerns about their skin, she was so supportive and made me feel confident. Leading up to the wedding Jen was so organized and communicative. My bridesmaids and I were so impressed with timeline that Jen created in order to make the morning calm, enjoyable, and orderly! The morning of the wedding was so fun working with Jen. We laughed the entire time! Not only that, but her work was exceptional and lasted ALL night long! She helped to make me feel like my very best self, on our best day! I could not recommend Jen & her team enough!

I was in the best hands possible. I had a trial with another artist that didn't go well, and Jen was reassuring and we talked through what I liked and didn't like. On my wedding day, she was a dream. She took amazing care of my mother and mother in law, both of whom had never had their makeup done. She was calm and re-assuring and took her time with each of us. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on that day. I looked like me...but better. I also used Jen's concierge service as well. I highly recommend. She was there with a straw when I needed water before going down the aisle, and quick with touch ups during all the photos. Knowing she was there if I needed her was so reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

process and the day of the wedding. I have never loved my hair and makeup as much as that day! Even more than their skill and expertise, their entire crew made getting ready stress-free and fun.

nd dancing). My bridesmaids and my mother all said that they wish Jen could do their makeup every morning. Highly recommend!

. My trial put me so at ease and, come wedding day, Jen and team were the perfect mix of efficient and timely but also so fun. The entire bridal party looked fantastic and everyone was truly happy with their look - something that's tough to accomplish! I enjoyed every moment of working with Jen and her team and truly cannot recommend her enough. She will help make your wedding day seamless, fun, and (of course) beautiful.

a comprehensive skin consultation to get my skin looking its best, plus hair and makeup trials to feel totally confident going into the day of. Jen is so talented, so professional, and so warm - and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her over and over again!

erfectly it photographed - I felt and looked flawless. Working with Jen was wonderful. From finding a day for my trial hair & make up to her arriving to my mom’s house early, and getting my bridal party (me, 8 bridesmaids, my mom, and mother in law) ready AHEAD of schedule. We all looked amazing and we’re provided touch up lip gloss. Jen was a wonderful contribution to our morning of getting ready, her professionalism and conversation kept me at ease. I look forward to any opportunity to work with her again!

ding day. She was incredibly responsive, spent so much time with me during my trial, listening to what I was hoping for and was able to take that and make me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt. Not only that, she was an incredibly calming presence on the day of the wedding when it felt like there was so much chaos going on around me. I am truly so grateful for such a wonderful experience with Jen and her team and could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Jen!!

is truly the best. After my hair/make up trial I wanted to make a few changes (specifically to my eye make up) and on the day of she was so accommodating. She really listened to my vision and made sure I felt my best on my big day. My bridesmaids also loved their hair and make up! Jen and her team are reliable, professional, fun, and incredibly talented. I cannot recommend them enough!

king for, she even had everything for a latex allergy and exceptionally organized and goes above and beyond normal precautions with cleanliness and sanitizing!!

otos, retouches for the entire bridal party… if someone needed help, you name it she jumped in. Boob Tape?! She’s prepared with alcohol to prep your skin and set the tape. To-go kits for your makeup- provided after your initial makeup is done and she has it all organized for you in the bridal suite. She helped set up the bride as she had her photos taken. All. Of. It. A consummate professional and just the sweetest soul, we loved having Jen with us the entire day. I wish I could have her every day of my life 😂 can’t recommend her enough, really just so amazing!

y affirming for an LGBTQ+ and trans wedding, and made everyone in our wedding parties feel safe, affirmed, and beautiful!

the wedding came and we had such a fun day. She went above and beyond the entire day. Anything we asked of her she helped and did (even her willingness to take on non makeup needs - which made the day go super smooth). Everyone’s makeup was flawless and felt very confident on my special day. Can’t wait to use her in the future.

rocess knowing I wanted to still look as much like myself as possible and she honored that. She gave great recommendations, responded to my feedback during our trial. Then during the wedding weekend itself she was calm, cool and such a joy to be around. She prioritized every family member and their individual needs, all while remaining on the tight wedding timeline. I would absolutely go to her again for any makeup needs and am so happy she was part of my wedding team!

she understood exactly what I was looking for. We also had so much fun with Jen and Jenny! She did a very natural look - exactly what I was looking for where I felt just like myself! The day of the wedding I decided to do a hair change from my trial and Jenny did my sleek low bun perfectly. My bridal party could also not stop saying how calm, smooth, organized and fun the team was while getting ready. My hair & makeup lasted all night (even with a few pictures outside in the rain!) with the help of the touch up kit Jen provides. You need to go with this team! Xoxo

s. Her expertise and attention to detail from my trial to my actual wedding was amazing. She was a great communicator about products to use before to make sure my skin was un prime condition and sent a detailed schedule the week before. She was even flexible when we had to tweak the plan and add more people to the schedule. My hair and makeup lasted all day long well into me dancing all night. She sent along a touch up kit for me as well. Dina, part of Jens team, made my low bun exactly how I envisioned and allowed me to make some last minute changes with hair clips. I highly recommend Jen & her team for any event you want to look & feel special for!

our room and knew just how to set everything up. There was a ton of traffic on my wedding day that resulted in a couple of my bridesmaids arriving late but Jen reassured me we had plenty of time. All 8 women’s hair and makeup was completely on schedule and looked amazing! My makeup and hair held up through lots of dancing! I love how I look in my pictures and couldn’t be happier! I also really appreciated working with a team that share my values and were fun people to chat with while getting ready. Thank you Jen and team!!!

a bridesmaid in 8 weddings in the past two years, I've met a lot of teams!) Jen is a MASTER and I love her approach to enhancing and embracing your natural beauty. My skin never looked so flawless, and she is an eyelash wizard. Jasmine also did makeup for the bridesmaids and everyone loved her work. Gabby did our hair and championed 8 girls in a few short hours. Everyone was extremely happy with their hair, she is able to do perfect curls, updos, beachy waves, you name it. These guys are the best in the business.

ompliment would be I didn’t need to use my touch up kit once throughout the night - the makeup and hair held up for over 10 hours and a lot of sweat and dancing!!

consultation 6 months prior to my wedding; she put in a lot of work and effort in sending me a list of skincare products and a routine to follow leading up to the big day. For makeup, I wanted a natural but glamourous look for my wedding day and thought that she really delivered. I worked with Jenny on my hair and she was able to take a few inspo images I gave and turn it into a great hairstyle for the day of. The morning of my wedding, they came a half an hour early to prepare and stuck perfectly to the timeline. They made the morning relaxing and easy, and I know my bridesmaids and mob/mog loved their looks too. I'm so pleased to have met and worked with Jen and Jenny and hope future brides get the same pleasure!

rtable with her next steps (ie. filling in brows, false lashes, etc). Jenny took extra time to set and touch up my hair considering its difficult to curl. They both made the getting ready time fun, relaxing, and memorable. As someone who normally doesn't wear makeup, they worked with me to create a naturally flawless look that simply enhanced my natural features. They're also experienced with working on people with all different skin /hair textures & colors. Can't recommend them enough!

y wedding! She was very accommodating during our date postponement process due to Covid-19, and made a stressful time more manageable. Her team was very kind to everyone, and they finished hair/makeup EARLY on our wedding day (8 bridesmaids, myself, 2 moms, 1 grandma) - she mentioned this is always their goal during my trial, which is a HUGE relief for someone worried about their day-of timeline! Would highly recommend working with this team - they are professional, fair priced, very reliable and personable.

ften, I loved Jen's natural style. She was my first choice for my wedding in 2020 of course! When COVID happened, Jen was incredibly understanding and helpful as we navigated how to push our wedding. She happily allowed us to push our contract a full year, with no hassle or upcharge. When it came time for our big day in 2021, I was so grateful for my choice. My makeup was stunning, but she was also able to adjust the style and preferences for each of my bridesmaid (some of whom regularly wear heavier makeup). I also have to shout-out Gabby, our hairstylist for the day. She worked with several hair lengths and textures, including my mother who has short and very thin hair after having brain surgery, and my friend who has naturally thick curly hair. She listened to what everyone wanted, and worked with their hair texture to make them feel absolutely beautiful. (My curly-haired friend raved so much and said she wished she has hired Jen and Gabby for her own wedding!) Gabby then stayed to help me fit my veil and graciously stood in while my videographer wanted 'action' shots of me getting ready. It was a seamless and stress-free morning, and I could not recommend both women more highly.

al, beautiful makeup and she completely delivered! From my trial to my welcome party look to my wedding day makeup, I felt beautiful and like myself every time. Gabby did my hair for both events as well, and guided me perfectly to two different looks that I absolutely loved! They were both a complete joy to be around, and I felt totally comfortable with them. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law were all thrilled with their hair and makeup as well. If you're looking for makeup that brings out the best of your own natural beauty, look no further!

work with. We had so much fun in the bridal suite getting ready. They perfectly executed everyone's vision and made us all feel so beautiful. Wish they could pamper us every day!

y of the wedding. Luckily, she nailed it again. She did such an amazing job. I felt so beautiful, but still myself. No caked on, overly made-up look, but still glamorous. She's also very calming and brings a great energy to the day. All my bridesmaids and my mother also LOVED their makeup.

g to make sure everyone looked and felt their best on my wedding day. We went with a dewy and more natural look, and they nailed it! I felt so beautiful and confident, I can’t recommend them enough!!!

thing but praise! Jennifer is warm, caring, knowledgeable and assisted us with every request. We had two brides (a total of 15 hair and 8 for makeup) so a full team of artists! For makeup we had Amanda G and Jasmine, and for hair we had Jenny, Gabby and Corrisa. On the big day, everyone looked truly stunning!! We had a hiccup on our end, and had to add an additional person for hair and makeup last minute and they immediately accommodated us without questions. The ladies brought awesome energy into the bridal suites and it truly felt like they were part of the group. We also opted to have one hair and one makeup person stay with us during our first look and through cocktail hour and it was soooo worth it. They did key touch ups and kept us and our bridesmaids looking fresh until we made our big entrance for reception! Everyone was so professional but so much fun. I can’t recommend them enough and we really hope to work with them again in the future. Thank you Kinford and team!!!!!

about how it would turn out but she was amazing. Everything looked natural and it didn't feel like it was "caked" on. Also her hair stylist is super talented as well. HIGHLY recommend!

and 4 new ones, including my teen age daughter. We had a bridal party with parents from age 14-78. When I told Jen that we ALL just wanted to look pretty, but nothing over the top..she HEARD me, and delivered. She assembled a team of 4 make-up artists, and 4 hairdressers. She devised a schedule starting at the crack of dawn, for a 3pm wedding. I balked. She reminded me that each person took "X" amount of time, and showed me how to work backwards from 3pm. ("ready to get into dress at 1pm, pictures at 1:30, church at 2:15, etc") This spreadsheet she produced was specific. Jen HEARD me, and suggested that maybe some clients would require less time than others, and recommended an order in which to put all of these people. The end product was exactly what we ALL were looking for. (I wish I could attach a photo). Her team made us feel pretty and look natural. I would recommend her and the team for the expertise and beautiful end result, but also the business and scheduling side that went along with it. It was an unforgettable day, and I am so grateful for Jen and the team. (Also the eyelashes she suggested! They were perfect.)
