Laura Westrem Artistry

Laura was absolutely outstanding! After a less than good experience with another make-up and hair artist, Laura absolutely hit a homerun with my wife's hair and make-up! It was perfection. Her hair was gorgeous without looking over the top and make-up was Stellar and didn't look like she was wearing a thick layer of products. It highlighted all the best features (cheekbones, eyes, lashes, etc). The best part was how much Laura truly cared. From the first phone call to the wedding and even following up after, Laura was a true professional and so fun!

Laura is so nice and sweet! She did an amazing job on my hair and make-up! I highly recommend her!

I have nothing but great things to say about Laura & her team! She went above & beyond & always made sure I was getting what I asked for. I had 10 bridesmaids + moms doing hair & make-up for the day of & the whole team did a fantastic job. It truly felt like they were all family & they were enjoying the morning with us! They’re truly amazing & I will always recommend Laura Westrem Artistry!

We had a large bridal party and Laura made sure she had enough staff to accommodate all of us and give each of us the personal attention needed!! Laura and her staff are very professional and have a great sense of fashion with new hairdos and makeup which helped with some of us that have no idea what to do!!! Laura and her staff stayed with us to the very end and really made us all feel very special.. highly recommend her services, she’s the best of the best!!! You won’t be sorry!!!

Where do I begin? Laura is one of the sweetest humans I have met and I was not only grateful to meet her, but also get to work with her on my big day. She nailed it out of the park at the trial run and she made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my big day! She was so organized between all my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, flower girl and made everything so simple and easy. Thanks again Laura!

Laura and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted and 100% delivered on my look. It was super helpful to do the bridal trail experience so I knew exactly what I was getting on the day of the wedding! Laura and her team were flexible with scheduling and did a great job of making sure we were ready in time!

Laura was truly amazing to work with! I wanted my hair to last through both the Korean ceremony and the American wedding, which the hair was still holding up perfectly by the end of the night. She also helped my makeup be natural yet appropriate for the photos. A couple of my bridesmaids wanted their hair added the day of and Laura was so efficient and made individual bridesmaids hair perfect for that person. She was so great to work with, I highly recommend her if you're looking for a great makeup and hair artist!

Huge thanks go out to Laura and her team for making my daughter, her bridesmaids, her mother in law, and me (Mom) look gorgeous!! They were truly amazing with their skill, patience, attention to detail, and delightful conversation! I wasn’t even going to get my makeup professionally done, but decided to the morning of the wedding! I am so glad I did!!! Laura graciously fit me in and made me look and feel gorgeous!!!! Everyone should have their makeup and hair done by this professional team of ladies!! I can’t thank them enough for doing such a great job and having the wedding pictures “pop” with our beautiful smiling faces!! If anyone reading this is wondering if they should book Laura and her team, the answer is YES!!!! You won’t be disappointed!! Truly an awesome experience was had by all!! Thanks again, Laura!! Kindly, Sandy G.

Loved working with Nicole from Laura’s team. She and I had a lot in common and she helped me feel very comfortable with the hair and makeup (I usually don’t do much). It turned out beautiful for me and my 6 bridesmaids. Nicole also gave us much needed advice during the trial and day of for my veil and how to cry properly with makeup/false lashes lol. The only con was that communication via e-mail was not very smooth. There were some IT issues with the program they were using that it would send the same message repeatedly and not show new messages unless you logged in to gmail through a web browser (I normally use an app). Other than that I would highly recommend them! Payment was easy through use of Venmo and I liked that gratuity was included so I didn’t have to bring cash or a check on my wedding day.

Laura’s team created beautiful looks for myself and bridal party. The reason I’m giving 4/5 is because communication was really lacking whenever I’d reach out to Laura which created extra stress for me. 2/3 stylists also showed up late day of the wedding which lead them to seem rushed to complete hair and makeup for my bridesmaids. Asides from those things, the stylists were nice and made the morning enjoyable.

Laura Westrem is the best of the best. Words cannot describe the talent & professionalism she showed throughout the entire process. I was a 2020 “covid” bride who had to postpone our wedding two times. Laura was so kind and gave me so much love and support through the tough process of having to reschedule. When I had my trial with her, it was like I found a heaven sent soul-sister. She is so amazing and has the biggest heart- she is so invested in you and your big day. Our long awaited wedding was a dream and she made my bridal party and I look outstanding. She can literally do any hairstyle- one of my bridesmaids said she loved her hair more that day than what she did on her own wedding day! My bridal party was a mix of ethnicities and styles, and Laura and her team made us all look like goddesses. Laura, thank you again so much for everything. You have a lifetime customer, and friend. I adore you and am eternally grateful for you.

When I first met Laura I knew I made the right choice. She made me feel welcome right away. I went to her home that has a lovely make up studio. After playing around with a few different looks, Laura helped me find the perfect look for my wedding day. She made me feel like a natural beauty and I can't wait to have Laura recreate it for me on my wedding day. She is was making me laugh the entire time and super awesome to work with. The lashes even lasted me MULTIPLE days! I got them done on a Thursday night and then wore them out for dinner at my bachelorette party on Friday then took them off on Saturday to go tubing :) I would HIGHLY recommend Laura, she was fun to work with and did an amazing / quality job. :)

Laura did it all. She went above and beyond to bring my bridal vision to life. She was flexible with scheduling dates, did several trials - because I'm high maintenance, even though I swore I wouldn't be a bridezilla 😝. She delivered amazing service for our big day. She had more tools and products than I could have imagined. She even provided touch ups as needed throughout the day (after happy tears). My makeup was on point and my hair was spectacular. My husband talks about how beautiful I looked when I walked out ALL the time, (we did not do a first look). I would highly recommend Laura Westrem Artistry and will definitely book her again for any event.

Laura and her team were wonderful to work with! My bridal party of 5 got ready at the Hewing hotel and Laura and her team were exceptionally organized, punctual and professional. Laura and her team were engaging, conversational and made the morning feel extra special. Beyond that, she and her team were great at listening and delivering each individual bridesmaid's hair and makeup preferences. Needless to say, I would highly recommend her services! 5 stars all around.

I am so happy I was able to have Laura for my hair and makeup for my wedding! I had heard about here through a couple friends- highly recommending her. She styled my hair exactly how I pictured for my wedding and my makeup was perfect! She and her team are the best group to work with. It was like working with a friends that I've know for a long time. Laura will make sure you look and feel perfect for your day!

Laura is a true artist, and has such a delightful energy that makes her such a joy to work with. Thank you so much for your amazing contribution to my special day!

I am so glad I went with Laura and her team for my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted for my wedding day look and truly made it come to life. As someone who does not wear much makeup on a day-to-day basis, it was important me that it didn’t look overdone, which she completely understood and respected. My bridesmaids and I all had beautiful up do’s that stayed intact throughout the wedding day. Laura and her whole team were on time and left my parents’ house just as clean as they found it. Laura was easy going and fun to talk to, and I’m glad we did a trial beforehand because it made the wedding day so stress free. I would highly recommend Laura Westrem Artistry to any bride looking for hair and makeup services!

Laura was amazing to work with! She made me feel more beautiful than I ever have, and my hair and makeup lasted all day and night. She and her assistant were a lot of fun to get ready with. She made adjustments to help perfect my look when I requested them, and made my sister (the maid of honor), and my mother and mother-in-law look and feel beautiful too! It's so nice that Laura will travel to your event location so you don't have to worry about moving on your wedding day.

Planning a wedding when you live 978 miles away from the location is beyond stressful. Not knowing any vendors for any part of your special day is a shot in the dark, similar to trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded. One bullseye I definitely hit for our wedding was selecting Laura Westrem Artistry for hair and makeup. She and Nicole were beyond fabulous! They were spot on with both makeup and hair....they made the process fun and relaxing...and were beyond professional. We had a run through several month prior to the wedding for myself and all the wedding party ladies. Laura and Nicole arrived on time, listened to what we wanted done, and made it happen! They are truly outstanding experts in their field! I cannot imagine my wedding day having happened without them.

Laura is amazing and I'm so glad I found her to do my hair and makeup for my wedding! She is so talented at what she does and I couldn't have been happier with everything she and her team did for my wedding. She is so kind and easy to get along with- she was always quick to respond to messages and always checked in to make sure I was happy with what she was doing! She did a beautiful job with not just my hair and makeup but also my bridesmaids, and mother's of the bride and groom. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I couldn't be more grateful to her and her team for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Laura!!! 💕

Laura is INCREDIBLE! Laura was absolutely the best hair and makeup stylist to work with in the Minneapolis area. We first planned our wedding in Minneapolis, and then COVID hit so we pushed the venue to Bemidji, MN. Without hesitation Laura was willing to come north for the wedding. Through adding on services and taking them off, Laura was completely flexible and helpful. Planning a wedding during such an impossible time was made easier because Laura was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. At the end of the day, she just wanted to make me happy and feel at ease for my wedding day. Having a vendor who really cares is extremely important! And even better, I could not be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out! And my bridesmaids loved it too! Everything was stunningly elegant and soft for our winter wedding. Laura and her team listened to everyone's wants and needs and executed them perfectly. They were extremely safe and clean during the entire wedding. Laura's prices are also extremely fair for the amount of work and effort she puts into everything. I HIGHLY recommend working with Laura and her team for your wedding in the Minneapolis area!

Laura is seriously amazing. I was really nervous for my hair and makeup after moving my wedding from New Mexico to MN last minute, and Laura made all of that nervousness go away. She was able to capture exactly what I wanted and then some. She also did my mother and mother in law’s hair and makeup—she delivered 100% with three different looks and comfort levels. She is worth every penny. I could not recommend her more!

Laura is so talented! My daughter wears minimal make-up and was worried about not looking like herself in the pics. Laura did an amazing job and put her at ease with a beautiful natural look. Also, the bride and bridesmaids were so happy with their hair styles - all various kinds of up-dos. The wedding pics turned out beautifully!

Laura and her team were incredible on our wedding day! She did hair and makeup for 13 of us! and I must say, we all looked so classically beautiful. Laura is fun and energetic and so encouraging (which is super helpful on your wedding day)! She even brought over some things my girls left at the place where we got ready to the chapel - which was so so kind of her to do. I think she really has her bride's back, and I cannot say enough good things about her work!

Laura is such an amazing person inside and out and I couldn't have asked for a better person to make me look my best on my wedding day! Laura Westrem Artistry is professional, amazing, and great to work with. From the trial, to the wedding day, she made me feel beautiful and I am so happy with how everything turned out. Laura and her team are so much fun and I highly recommend Laura Westrem Artistry!!

Laura did the hair and makeup for my wedding in September and she did an amazing job! I had her and her team do all 7 of my bridesmaids hair and some of there makeup! Not only did everyone look amazing but I felt like she pulled out all the stops to make sure my hair and makeup were perfect. My hair looked better then I ever could have imagined and my makeup was flawless. I would high recommend Laura and her team. Not only is she extremely personable and professional but she was very flexible with me and my crazy schedule. I would not have changed a thing!

This sounds silly but I didn't realize until my wedding day how much of an impact your hair and makeup vendor has on your wedding day beyond your hair and makeup. Laura Westrem nailed my hair (my aunt did my makeup) and did an amazing job for my bridesmaids. During the trial run, she got exactly the look I'd wanted on the first try and replicated it perfectly the day of. She even helped me find some beautiful (and inexpensive) accessories for my hair. Laura is beyond talented. But possibly more important is the fact that she is EXACTLY the person you want to spend the hours leading up to your wedding with. She is so positive and kind-hearted. She never loses sight of how big of a day it is for you and every interaction with her shows it. I am really grateful to have had Laura be a part of my big day.

Hiring Laura to style my daughter's and her wedding party's hair was a great decision! She did and beautiful job and was extremely patient and professional! We never felt as if she was in a hurry to finish and she even helped clean up our luncheon mess after we left for the church! Money well spent!

Laura and her team were not only very professional but also easy to talk to and helped calm the nerves of the day. I was more than pleased with my hair & make-up. Everything stayed in place so well that some of my bridesmaids wore thier hairdo well into the next day! I hope I never get married again, but if I do I would certainly call Laura!

Laura and her team were wonderful to work with. They made getting ready the morning of the wedding super fun and relaxing, and helped us all to feel and look our best for the big day. I would highly recommend them!

Great experience...highly recemmended

Laura. Is. Phenomenal. Getting your makeup and hair done by Laura is like having a spa day with your best friend who just happens to be a top tier professional. She is kind, courteous, hilarious -- and so skillful at her trade. In addition, she made planning from out-of-state a breeze. Laura checks in at every step of the way to make sure you feel nothing short of gorgeous and comfortable. I tend to not wear a lot of makeup (mascara and blush only usually) and wear my hair straight down, so I was worried about not looking like myself for photos -- but also wanting to look beautiful and put together. Laura nailed it. I felt like a natural, glowing bride -- and at the same time comfortable and looking like a movie star version of me. Laura, thank you so much for making my day awesome. Thank you for listening, laughing, and supporting my bridesmaids and family. Thank you for all of your support, kindness, and your amazing skills. Thank you for all the bonus awesomeness!

Laura and her team did an amazing job for our wedding! They were professional, helpful and good at their job! They even came onsite, which was a big help!

Laura was the best!! She made myself and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She always asked how we liked our “look” throughout the process to make sure that we were loving our makeup, and listened to what we had to say. Would highly recommend Laura and her team!

Laura Westrem did a phenomenal job on the hair and make-up for the whole bridal party - she was quick and efficient, but also more than willing to listen to our needs, what we wanted our hair and make-up to look like, and change the plan day of/be flexible even after doing the hair/make-up a certain way! I also appreciate her ability to get back to me quickly when I originally contacted her with pricing, day of timeline and other details. Throughout the course of planning the wedding, there were times when it was harder to get in contact with her (sometimes needed to send a few emails back to back), but they were never urgent questions and I was always able to get an answer. When I did have important or urgent questions, Laura always responded right away.

Laura is simply the best. She and her team are top notch and incredibly talented. They did make-up and hair for all my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law and they are still talking about how beautiful they felt that day. The makeup looks natural and beautiful and her amazing hairstyles stay put all day. My wedding was on the first snowy day in October and you would have never known. :) Thank you, Laura!

I am so glad we chose Laura Westrem for our hair and makeup on my wedding day! Laura and her team were incredible! They are the kindest and sweetest people you will ever meet and so skilled at what they do! My makeup and hair stayed perfectly throughout a hot and humid July wedding! Laura was able to bring my vision for my hair and makeup to life! My bridesmaids and our mothers also looked stunning thanks to Laura and her incredible team! They are worth every penny! They helped make the morning of the wedding so low stress and fun!!! I would highly recommend Laura Westrem to any bride who wants to look beautiful and flawless on her wedding day! Thank you Laura Westrem!!!!!!

Laura is FANTASTIC! From the initial consult to the wedding day, Laura was professional and positive. Her services were high-quality; our makeup and hair was flawless all day and night. Laura and her team make your day feel stress-free and fun. My mother does not wear makeup, ever, and Laura made her feel both beautiful and comfortable. Our professional photos are starting to trickle back to us, and they look AMAZING! I would choose to work with Laura again and again and again. The start to our big day wouldn't have been the same without her and her close-knit team! THANK YOU!

Laura was the epitome of professionalism!! We were so happy with her level of expertise. All of my bridesmaids and female attendants were very happy with their makeup and hair services, and they are picky and hard to please. All of Laura's crew and employees were kind and had great attitudes. I was unsure of the airbrush technique but Laura gave great advice and she was correct that my professional pictures turned out amazing. I would gladly recommend her again and again to anyone getting married. Thank you!!

Laura and her team are beyond amazing and extremely talented! You couldn’t get anyone better if you tried! These beautiful people are the first ones you “see” to start off your ‘happily ever after’ and they start if off with huge smiles and lots of laughing! Don’t look any further, you’ve found what you’ve been looking for!

Laura and her team were absolutely phenomenal. We so enjoyed having them be a part of our day. Laura responded to emails very quickly and made it her mission to make the getting ready portion of our wedding run smoothly. She made me, my bridesmaids, and my family look and feel beautiful. Bonus: she is such a sweet person and is truly passionate about what she does. These things shine through in all interactions you have with her!

Laura and her team were AMAZING. They did hair and makeup for me, my 6 bridesmaids, two moms, two grandmas and my attendant all within our timeline... WOW. I felt amazing and have never looked better. She is awesome to work with and the best part was she worked my wedding which landed on her birthday! Would recommend Laura for any bridal hair and/or makeup!

My hair and makeup looked amazing, I have never felt so beautiful and wouldn't change a thing. We had an outdoor wedding on July 28th and it was HOT and everything held up and let me tell you i sweat allot... still held up and looked amazing all through the night.

Laura Westrem and her team are beyond amazing! My wedding party and moms looked absolutely STUNNING! They were so patient with my wedding party as everyone continued to add on services once they saw other girls' hair and make up. Laura was so professional and fun, I felt very comfortable trusting her with my hair and make up! She's careful and detailed, and it shows through her team as well! Highly recommend!

Laura and her team (mom - Mary) were fabulous on my wedding day! They arrived with a ton of energy and enthusiasm and it was infectious throughout the day! I couldn’t have imagined a better team for hair and make-up. Me, my bridemaids and moms are typically more natural and wear little makeup, but I wanted it to be a special day. Laura and Mary have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. We all loved our hair and make up. I read in one review before I booked Laura that she was like a “fairy godmother” and it is so true. They had finished hair and make up on everyone, and still wanted to help, so they brought some decorations to the venue… Meanwhile, when taking wedding photos by Lake Superior, I was inadvertently hit by a wave. It made for a great photo, but left me, my dress and shoes soaking wet. Laura and Mary both came to my rescue when I arrived at the venue, with a hairdryer in hand, make up and hair touch ups, not to mention eye contact assistance. They definitely went above and beyond their call of duty to make my wedding day special and it will definitely be memorable!

Laura and her team were incredible to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was happy with their makeup and hair on my wedding day. I would definitely choose to work with her again.

I cannot say enough good things about Laura Westrem Artistry. She was incredibly friendly and professional. She worked hard to accommodate my busy schedule to set up my hair and makeup trial. She kept is good contact with me up until the day of my wedding and was happy to add in a last minute hair appointment the day of without throwing off the detailed itinerary. On the big day Laura was happy and excited to work with my group and was a pleasure to talk with. She made sure we liked our hair and makeup, happy to make adjustments to ensure we had the best final look possible. She made everyone look and feel their best. I would recommend Laura to anyone in search of hair and makeup for their wedding.

I was thoroughly impressed with the hair and makeup that Laura and team did for my daughter’s wedding. I tend to be a skeptic when I read glowing reviews, but I can honestly say Laura is amazing with hair and makeup. She made the Mother of the bride (me) look 10 years younger. Thank you, Laura!!!

Laura and her team are amazing!! Laura came to my house for the trial and traveled to our hotel the morning of the wedding. She made sure I was comfortable with the amount of makeup and the hairstyle- making the smallest adjustments that I requested. My wedding party LOVED her and everyone looked STUNNING! She was a recommendation from one of my bridesmaids and I will certainly be recommending her to future brides I run into. Trusting someone to make you look your best on your wedding day is a big deal. Without question I would hire Laura and her team again!

If you truly want to look your best you can not go wrong with Laura. Her ability to bring out your best features is amazing! Everyone Laura touched felt "beautiful"! As a 60ish mother-of-the-bride I was hoping for presentable but with Laura and Mary doing my hair and make-up I felt lovely. My sisters (and if you are lucky enough to have them you know they are brutally honest) could not get over my transformation and said I looked "stunning"! Thank you Laura for making this special occasion even more special!

She is amazing!!! She exceeded my expectations in every single thing she did for our wedding day!

Laura is AMAZING! She captured my wants so perfectly and effortlessly. My hair and makeup looked exactly as I had hoped for and I got compliments all night long. Laura also knows how to make me laugh. With her you aren't just a client. I had so much fun getting ready for my wedding with Laura!

Laura Westrem and her team are INCREDIBLE! Laura has so much ability to bring out your best features and deliver the look you are aiming for. Her photos through The Knot do not do her justice. Her expertise and skill are beyond the average makeup artist. She is a true pro and the proof is in her work. I searched every vendor through The Knot and she was the only one I thought could make me look how I wanted to look. She is very considerate and checks in through each step to ensure you are satisfied before she continues further into the look. And for the cherry on top, she is super fun to be around. She is kind and friendly, and goes above to ensure perfection is reached before anyone heads out the door. She is amazing and I wish she could doll me up on a regular basis. Thank you, Laura!!!

If I could give Laura and her crew 10 stars, I would. When you hire Laura, you are not just hiring another vendor. You are receiving a friend who genuinely cares about how gorgeous you look on your special day. I had the privilege of having Laura and her Mom at my wedding. They were like fairy godmothers - running around making sure you have everything you need. They know weddings and provide this calm you wouldnt otherwise experience. I mentioned I was hungry at one point and Laura's mom busts out some ham and swiss sandwiches from her bag. Need a toothbrush? They had a disposable one. Need a laugh? That just happens the whole time. I cannot review Laura highly enough. Just do yourself a favor and hire her!
