Maria and her team (I had Kristy for hair and Visha for makeup) are absolutely AMAZING. Maria is incredibly friendly and responsive. Kristy is super fast and does stunning work. Everyone loved their hair the day of the wedding. The moms were being picky, but Kristy handled it like a pro. Visha understood what everyone wanted for their makeup and executed it stunningly.
Maria did make-up for my daughters wedding this Saturday. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their make-up. She takes the time to listen to you and to provide what you need. We all looked beautiful; I was stunned by how good I looked. I did a MOB trial with her and afterwards asked her to work on some spots that I am generally sensitive about. She offered to do another trial because she was not happy about how it turned out and wanted to try some different things in different light. Second time was much better. She didnt have to do that and I appreciate it. On the day of the wedding, my make-up was perfect, and kept checking to see if I liked it. She did that on all our ladies.
She was on time and took alittle longer than hair because she was making sure each lady got the service they wanted and were happy with the results. We were all still on time for the next steps of the day. I would without any hesitation recomment Maria for any make-up services you need.
Male from Jonas Beauty was one of my favorite vendors at our wedding. Her communication in the planning phase was friendly, clear, and timely. On the day of our wedding she arrived early and well-prepared, she was sweet and funny while working, and radiated calm when other vendors arrived late and stressed. Not only was she professional and a great presence, but Male is an AMAZING MAKEUP ARTIST!! She traveled for our wedding, so nobody (including me as the bride) had a trial beforehand, but she far exceeded all hopes and expectations. Everyone else who got their makeup done, moms and bridesmaids, raved about her work. As the bride, I received so many comments about my makeup, and I truly felt more beautiful than I ever thought possible. I cannot recommend Jonas Beauty enough!
I was absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Jonas Beauty on my wedding day! From the moment I met with Maria I felt completely at ease. She took the time to understand my vision and created a look that was flawless, timeless, and exactly what I had hoped for! The makeup lasted all day and night and she even gave me my own lip stick and a touch up kit to carry throughout the day. I received so many compliments throughout the day and my bridal party were all satisfied with their makeup as well! Maria is extremely professional, talented, and truly a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Jonas Beauty to anyone looking for a makeup artist! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!
Maria did the makeup for me and 6 other members of my family/bridal party on the day of my wedding this past November. She was nothing but kind, professional, and very detail-oriented in her work. I think everyone’s makeup looked wonderful and would highly recommend choosing her for your next event! Her pricing was also very reasonable in the crazy world of wedding costs!
She was amazing! She made me feel so beautiful and everyone commented on what a wonderful job she did. Maria is also very personable and made me feel comfortable. She took feedback very well and customized my look to what I wanted. I cannot thank you enough!
Maria, of Jonas Beauty, was absolutely amazing! From my makeup trial, to my wedding day makeup, she was amazing. She listened to me when I told her what I liked, what I was comfortable with, and if I wanted anything changed, she was more than happy to adjust. My family and friends loved her and thought her work was beautiful, because it is. I was so grateful she was my make-up artist, and if I need another make-up artist in the future, she will be my first call. 12/10, she is the best!
Maria has the kindest soul out there! She was so generous and flexible with her time for my makeup trials. She was extremely responsive and truly wanted to make everything as easy for me as possible. I can’t understate how sweet and caring she is towards her clients. She is great at what she does and you can tell she has a passion for it! I have been very insecure about my complexion all of my life. I’ve dealt with so many issues regarding acne and acne scarring, so I was dreading finding a makeup artist, but Maria was so sensitive to that and made sure I felt comfortable in my own skin on the day of! I truly felt beautiful and my entire bridal party loved her as well. She was a dream to work with!
Maria was an absolute dream to work with! She flawlessly executed both
my bridal makeup and my bridesmaids' makeup, capturing exactly what we
envisioned. Her professionalism and communication were top-notch,
making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Maria has a unique
ability to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which is so
important on such a big day. She runs her operations with so much love
and kindness for her clients, and it's impossible not to adore her. I
couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding! Highly
recommend!
Male did an amazing job on my makeup. She knew exactly what products best suited my face, and I looked like a model. She’s patient, kind and gentle; most especially talented.
Male was excellent from the start! Even from first meeting on The Knot, she was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made such a strong and positive connection. Our first time meeting in person, she gave me a beautifully handpainted bookmark that fit my wedding theme perfectly, it was so thoughtful! She was able to do makeup for my bridal party, mom, mother-in-law, me the day of my wedding, she worked through each one with dedication and grace, making each person feel special and confident. Watching her work was like an artist creating the perfect masterpiece on a canvas. The style of makeup she does is a look I would describe as natural soft glam, it's a timeless look and I'm thrilled with how everything turned out!
And for those nervous about getting their makeup professionally done, don't be. Male is so gentle and will go through everything step-by-step to make sure the process is perfect; She was this way with all of us, but I'm especially happy she took time with my mom (it was her first time).
Male also helped me find/recommend a hairstylist that she knew well! Kris had a lot of hair to do the day of the wedding, but she handled it with grace and everyone had beautiful hairdos to show for it! Both ladies worked so well together and gave the best results!
I could go on for many paragraphs, but my point is that everything was perfect! 10/10 I strongly recommend Jonas Beauty for your wedding makeup!
Maria was absolutely AMAZING. From the day I first contacted her to the day of our event, she was so friendly and professional. She was so easy to communicate with and always gave quick responses. She came to the event with a huge smile on her face and was excited to do her work.
All of my sisters felt so comfortable with her and the makeup she did, and each of them said she was SO friendly.
Also, if you have a mom who refused to get her makeup done because they don't wear makeup and they are worried about looking overdone, Maria is perfect for the job. I was most worried about my mother, who resisted getting her makeup done for her own daughters wedding, up until the wedding day, but Maria reassured me that she's worked with many moms who feel the same way, and she was right. My mother felt so comfortable and happy with her makeup, which was natural and elegant, just like she was hoping for. Maria even got my mother to wear fake lashes!!!!!!! I was shocked when I saw her!
Also, we are south Asian, and her makeup was not only beautiful and flattering on each person, but it fit our theme so well. I have already asked her to do our makeup for our next wedding, and I highly recommend you do the same.
Male did an outstanding job on my makeup for my engagement party. She was on-time and ready to listen to my ideas! Male is so caring and clearly loves what she does. She is approachable, yet professional in her manner.
Without a doubt, Male will be doing my wedding makeup! I can’t wait to work with her again ❤️.
Male is such an incredible makeup artist. I was thrilled with the way my makeup looked in our professional photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis and she struck the perfect balance between looking lovely in our pictures and still feeling like myself. Plus, she’s so warm and friendly and made the whole experience perfect. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Maria is an amazing make up artist who is not only amazingly talented but really takes the time to get to know you. She is super friendly, compassionate, and kind. She really listens to what you want your look to be and is very willing to listen to you. She does such a wonderful job working with all ages and skin types. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone!!!
Male did my make up for a charity gala I had recently. She was so kind and made me feel comfortable right away. To me this is huge- having that connection with the make up artist and feeling at ease. She had me show her a picture of my dress, asked what my hopes were for my make up and then showed me what she thought would look good given my skin tone, face and eye shape, and dress color. She is super knowledgeable about what color palettes to use and what brands are best. She truly customized the entire experience just for me. She was professional and timely and her prices are extremely fair. My make up was flawless! My whole family was blown away and what a fantastic job Male did. I would use her again in a heart beat! Thanks, Male!
If you want a makeup experience that is just easy- you feel like yourself and look like an elevated version of yourself, have a beautiful and natural look, she’s perfect for you. She couldn’t be nicer and is a delight to work with!
Good vibes, togetherness and beautiful makeovers - this woman-owned and run business is such a pleasure to work with! Male (Mah-Lay) is reliable, easy to connect with, and is truly talented at giving you the style you’re looking for. I highly recommend her for your wedding party! I look forward to going to her again for smaller events. 💕
Maria is such a talented and wonderful person to work with! She did my bridesmaids’ and my makeup at my wedding! It was so beautiful and she took her time to make sure everything was perfect! She is such a wonderful person inside and out, and I had the best experience working with her. She took her time to make sure I was comfortable and worked really hard in preparing everything for my big day! She came on time and we went over exactly what I wanted weeks prior to the wedding! I am someone who never wears makeup, but Maria knew exactly what would help me look beautiful! She took her time to listen to my concerns and worked really hard behind the scenes to help put together a great look for my big day! I will definitely call her again for any future occasions to do my makeup! She was overall a great person to work it, and I highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking for a makeup artist!
Male is a true gem. She put me at ease the minute I booked her as my bridesmaids are so unique and I wanted a stylist to be able to work with a variety of skin tones. She did my trial early for my engagement pics and I looked incredible. My Fiancé asked if I could do it more often haha. Can't wait for my wedding day
Male is the best! Her attention to detail is a perfect. Male makes you feel like you are a beautiful.peaceful bride!
Male did a wonderful job on my makeup as well as my wedding party. Highly recommended.
Male was so friendly and approachable! She had a great balance of listening to the kind of look I wanted and going with her expertise of what looked best on me. I’m not a lashes person, but Male has the best natural looking lashes that enhance the look and aren’t too heavy. If I had a concern about something, she was very attentive to change it to how I wanted. Male made all of my bridesmaids’ makeup look cohesive while modifying it to fit each person. She is great at the perfect mix of natural and glam. I still felt like I looked like myself. Thank you Male for helping with my special day!
Male is absolutely amazing, I love her!! Take the best review I can give, and multiply it by a million, she was that awesome. I’ve left reviews for the florist, venue, etc. and in each, I listed out the good and areas that could use improvement- there is no negative to be mentioned here! I highly recommend getting the makeup trial, so you can fine tune the look you are going after. Male listened to everything I asked for, and I had photos off social media that I liked, for inspiration. She took photos and notes after the trial, and even though it was 6 months later, she got “my look” perfect on my wedding day. Up close, I’m was a little uncomfortable with how much makeup was on, but I wanted my photos to be amazing- and that’s where the makeup application really looked stunning. The airbrush really helped hide imperfections. And she gave me a tube of the gloss on my wedding day! Oh, and did I mention she is a super sweet and nice person? She has a great smile and wonderful sense of humor. We had a great time in the bridal suite getting everyone ready for the day! Highly highly recommend Jonas Beauty for your important day!
Maria is one of the most amazing and talented people I have ever worked and came across. She is genuinely a sweet person who really cares for her clients. She took the time to really make me feel so beautiful on my special day. She was on time to my event and made me feel so comfortable and special. I definitely look forward to having her do my makeup again in the near future! There was great communication on expectations on how everything will be. She also takes the time to walk with her clients on the breakdown on everything! I love her work and I highly recommend hiring her for any of your special moments!
Male is a very nice, very professional and extremely talented MUA. I loved that she really listened to what I told her I wanted and delivered a beautiful result. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing !! Maria was so patient and so kind. She really cares about what she does, and she gave me a breathtaking glamorous look. She treated me like an individual and not just a number. She puts 100% into everything she does and you will enjoy your time with her! I am quite picky about my make up and she absolutely exceeded my expectations.
Male did my make up for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. My bridesmaids, my mom, and I all were highly satisfied. She is patient and listens well. For my trial she used my inspiration pictures plus some of her own suggestions to create a look that was tailored to my own features.
Leading up to my wedding, Male was extremely responsive whenever I called, texted, or emailed. On the day of the wedding she was very efficient and professional. Everyone in my party felt comfortable with her as she is knowledgeable yet personable. I would highly recommend her!
She also did my makeup for my engagement pictures and I loved it so much!
Male is amazing! She provided make-up for myself, my daughter (the bride), my mother and sister in law. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, patiently and respectfully listens to your requests, and move throughout out the getting ready process of the day with calm, collected stress-free attitude. She arrived on time and was ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Male, you will be so happy that you did! Malena
Male’ is the best! She is so professional and respectful. She made my entire bridal party and myself so comfortable the day of the wedding. She was wonderful at listening to me about how I wanted to look on my big day. Male’ is truly a gem!
