I was blessed to have Marina as my hair and makeup artist for my private wedding ceremony. She is incredibly talented and I felt like a total princess for my special day. She was also tons of fun, easy to talk to, and timely. I cannot recommend Marina enough! Thank you so much!!!
Rachel and Stephanie were absolutely phenomenal. I had an out of state wedding, I live in California but got married in Oregon, so I did not have a trial with them before hand. It was not needed, as both were extremely talented and professional. Myself and my wedding party all loved our hair and make up. I cannot recommend these two more, as every part of the process was easy. From first reaching out, to the day of the wedding. As they are the first thing I did on my wedding day, they made it fun and enjoyable from the start. Thank you Rachel and Stephanie!!
Book with these people and you WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!! Rachel was patient and kind from her first email to me after I reached out. I was a very nervous bride throughout much of this process and both Rachel (who did my hair) and Shelby (who did my makeup) were reassuring, lighthearted, and grounding. I was nervous after my trial because my skin was very very dry, and Shelby gave me fantastic advice on how to ensure my skin was prepped for wedding makeup, including doing a facial. It made a world of difference and not to be full of myself, but I looked amazing. And Rachel took every change I requested and made my hair look like literal magic. I looked like a fairy princess. Not to mention- the energy Shelby and Rachel brought to my bridal party group while we got ready was phenomenal. I felt like they were one of our friends and the low stress, fun, be yourself energy they brought to the day was everything we all needed and more. Everybody loved you both AND felt beautiful! THANK YOU SHELBY AND RACHEL!!!!!!!! <3
Any questions?
I had the incredible pleasure of having Shelby do my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I can confidently say she is a true artist! From start to finish, Shelby provided an experience that was both professional and warm, making me feel like I was in the hands of a dear friend.
Shelby’s talent is unparalleled. She listened carefully to my vision and then brought it to life with her expert skills. My makeup was flawless, highlighting my best features while still looking natural. The products she used were top-quality, ensuring my look lasted all day and into the night. My hair was styled to perfection, with every strand in place and exactly how I envisioned it.
What makes Shelby stand out is her ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease. From our first meeting, it felt like we had known each other for years. Her friendly and approachable nature instantly put me at ease, which was especially important on such a big day. She genuinely cares about her clients, and that personal connection shines through in her work.
Shelby’s attention to detail is remarkable. She took the time to ensure every aspect of my hair and makeup was perfect, from the precise application of eyeliner to the final touches on my hairstyle. Her meticulous approach ensured that everything was impeccable, and I felt like the best version of myself. Our wedding day was very windy and my hair held like a champ even into the next day!
Shelby is not only talented but also highly professional. She was punctual, well-prepared, and efficient, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the wedding day. Her calm demeanor helped me stay relaxed and confident throughout the preparation process.
Shelby went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results. She was patient with my questions and open to any adjustments I wanted, ensuring that I was completely satisfied with my look. Her dedication to her clients’ happiness is evident in every interaction.
Working with Shelby was a dream come true. She made my wedding day even more special by making me look and feel beautiful. Her combination of professional expertise and personal touch is truly unique. I highly recommend Shelby to any bride looking for exceptional hair and makeup services.
Rachel & Kelsey did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I wanted a natural look, which they perfected. My bridesmaids were happy with their looks as well. They gave us clear instructions ahead of time, arrived on time with all their equipment, were extremely professional, and were a blast to talk to. They really made the day special. Would recommend!
Rachel and Kelsey were amazing from the moment we started planning. They listened to my requests and brought them to life on the day of my wedding. I felt truly beautiful and it’s all thanks to them. Luxe Artistry is top tier!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Keely. We were honored to be a part of your wedding day!
I was lucky enough to have Steph do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She is very professional and helpful during what can be a stressful time. I chose to do the trial with her which I felt really gave me a more.rounded idea of what I wanted for the big day and even when I changed up my decision for how I wanted my hair, Steph didn't hesitate and made me feel so beautiful! She's such a lovely presence to have as well, lots of laughs! She also did the hair and makeup for my bridal party and I thought they all looked amazing. I would recommend Steph to anyone who's wanting their vision to become reality!
I loved working with Luxe Artistry Group on my wedding! I worked specifically with Kelsey on the Portland team and cannot speak more highly of her. She was on time even though my venue was an hour away and I needed makeup to start pretty early. She was so flexible with where to set up and Kelsey was able to accommodate all my bridesmaids and some family members on her own which was so impressive! She was able to complete my vision for the day and I really loved working with her! Couldn’t recommend more!
Steph was truly so easy to work with and made me SO beautiful for my wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better communicator, expert, and lovely person that day. She truly listened to what me and my bridesmaids were looking for and was so quick getting us ready! I’ll be recommending her to everyone! Thanks Steph!!
I worked with Kelsey and Rachel, and they were so wonderful! They both vibed so well with our entire wedding party, and they made the wedding day feel so special. On top of that, their service and professionalism were unmatched. Kelsey is a seasoned pro at what she does because she is a mindreader who understands how to turn a client's vision into reality! Rachel is so talented with hair that I showed her one picture from Pinterest (a complex braid twist thing), and I kid you not - she copied it to the T and even made it look better than the picture. Take this as a sign to reach out to them right now!! You absolutely won't regret it.
Kelsey was our makeup artist for myself and my bridal party and she was amazing! I absolutely LOVED my makeup and felt it was an elevated look of myself. My bridal party looked beautiful and she was able to accommodate various styles/requests. She was also a joy to hang out with in the bridal suite. I loved the thoughtfulness of her mini touch up kit if needed! My look lasted throughout the day and into the night. 10/10!
Kelsey and Rachel did a fantastic job for me and my bridesmaids! Both were such a joy to work with and even had us all ready a little bit ahead of schedule.
We highly recommend Kelsey and Rachel for wedding day hair and makeup! From the first communication, to trials, through to the wedding day, they were professional and flexible and very easy to work with. They listened to what the bride and all the bridesmaids wanted for their hair and makeup and created it to perfection. Everyone was thrilled with how it all turned out. We had a very tight schedule on wedding day and Kelsey and Rachel had everyone ready for pictures with time to spare. Not only all of that, but they were really fun to have in the bridal salon with all of us! We will absolutely use them again!
Stephanie was incredible! Doing the trial with her was super helpful to get an idea of what I wanted for the wedding day. The day of was so easy with Stephanie there and we finished hair and makeup ahead of schedule! A super kind and genuine person that made me look and feel my best on my wedding day!!

Thanks for your review Ashlee! We appreciate your business and your kind words. Congratulations on your wedding!
Absolutely LOVED working with Rachel and Kelsey! These girls made me feel more beautiful than I ever had before and nailed my inspo looks. They listened when i asked for changes and were overall just really fun people to have in the room with me on my day. Rachel even helped me tape my boobs which she was super chill about and did a great job even though she could have been like no I do not want to do that because I was not paying her to do that. Lol. My mom and sister loved them too. Felt like I was hanging out with friends.
The folks from Luxe were wonderful! We were able to get everyone in and completed on time. Everyone looked absolutely lovely!
We booked hair and makeup for adults, hair for some of the kiddos (4 years old) and even grooming services for the adult men in the group.
Rachel and Tarasina were friendly and fun while also being punctual and professional. The cost was reasonable and everyone was very happy with the results. They were also able to handle our little kiddos with a good sense of humor and warm demeanor.
Shawna did the men's grooming (beard and hair trims) and all of the gents expressed how pleasant the experience was for them. It was wonderful to get to treat them to a little extra pampering as well!
Rachel and Kelsey were absolutely great to work with! They were so personable and fun the entire time. Each member of the bridal party got the looks they were asking for and everyone was satisfied with how their hair and makeup turned out ☺️
Kelsey and Rachel did an incredible job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! During the trial they listened to what I wanted and were very receptive to my tweaks and I got exactly the look I was going for on my wedding day! They were so fun to work with and I had the easiest going morning I could have asked for thanks too their help!
Jimmy was absolutely amazing!! Every single one of my bridesmaids looked incredible. Their hair was gorgeous. He was even able to fit my mom in after she had changed her mind. My hair stayed in place all night and we did A LOT of dancing. Jimmy was fun and such a positive energy as we were all getting ready. Highly recommend.
We hired Luxe Artistry to do hair and makeup for myself and 16 (!) other members of our wedding party. Rachel and Kelsey came to my home for the trial and then to our venue on Mt. Hood for the wedding day. They were so much fun to work with, fit perfectly into the vibe we wanted, and every single person was happy with their hair and makeup results. They more than rose to the challenge of our large group and were ahead of schedule. I could not have been happier with Luxe or the team they sent!
Tarasina did an incredible job on my girls and I. I felt absolutely stunning.
Rachel and Kelsey were amazing to work with for my wedding. They arrived right on time and were SO FUN to hang out with before & during our makeup and hair stylings! We had a blast with them, and we were all incredibly happy with how we looked. These two are so talented.
Thank you both for making me (and my loved ones) look and feel gorgeous on such a special day.
I booked Luxe Artistry Group (Portland) for hair and makeup services for a 2021 December Wedding Reception. We had a fairly large group of 14 women receiving services. I was thoroughly impressed with how wonderfully Rachel (hair stylist) and Kelsey (makeup artist) planned for and successfully achieved getting all of us ready for our event in a timely manner.
Leading up to the day of the reception, both Kelsey and Rachel had reached out to me to introduce themselves and ask what I had in mind for hair and makeup. They prepared and sent me a schedule for the day of the event so all of my bridesmaids knew when they needed to be ready for their hair and makeup times.
The day of the event, Rachel and Kelsey (as well as their two assistants) arrived bright and early, ready to begin. We all really appreciated the professionalism and laid back nature of this team. They worked efficiently and were very attentive to the group in terms of listening to what each individual had in mind for their hair and makeup.
I would absolutely recommend Luxe Artistry Group to anyone looking to book hair and makeup services for any event. Booking with them was a breeze, communication was excellent, and we all loved our hair and makeup!

Thanks so much Annie! We had the best time working with you and your party! Happy New Year and congratulations on your wedding!
-The Luxe Artists
Jimmy and Tarasina did an amazing job! They were warm, friendly, professional, and very collaborative. They handled last minute schedule changes, a large group of bridesmaids, traveling, and working with less collaborative team members on our big day very well. They made me feel so beautiful and personally cared for. I would highly recommend this company to anyone for their wedding day!
Nicole is the best. I could not have not chosen a better artist for my wedding make up. Easy to communicate with, professional and amazing at what she does.

Rachel and Kelsey did my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding last weekend and they did an absolutely wonderful job! They were fun and easy going, professional, and their work was amazing! Thank you ladies, would recommend 100%!

Hi Megan!
Thank you so much for your review! Congratulations on your wedding and Happy 2022!
-The Luxe Artists
I hired luxe for my bridal and wedding party makeup for our big day and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. I don’t wear a lot of makeup day to day so was nervous about feeling over done but Kelsey heard me completely and delivered exactly what I wanted. I truly have never felt more beautiful and my wedding party looked amazing as well. We went for the air brush and it stayed on perfectly all day and night with no issues. I couldn’t recommend luxe artistry more!
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2022
Such an honor working with you!! Congratulations on being the most beautiful bride. Cheers to 2022!

Tarasina was literally phenomenal!!! She did my hair + makeup (bride) my moms hair & makeup & my aunts makeup.
She made me feel so comfortable in the process of getting ready & so confident after! She was super easy to talk to & is extremely talented.
Let her do your makeup! You won’t regret it.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2021
Thanks so much so choosing us to be a part of your day! You’re our 101st review and we couldn’t be more grateful. Congratulations Kennedy! Your pictures are stunning!
Tara and Tarasina were both so amazing to work with on our wedding day. They had everyone ready to go in plenty of time. They also ensured we were all pleased with our services before they left. We are so thankful we were able to work with this group, and we definitely recommend them to anyone needing any beauty services !
Response from the Vendor on 03/26/2021
Y’all were all amazing to work with as well! Congratulations on your wedding and we look forward to seeing some beautiful pictures. Thanks for your review too. We really appreciate it!!!
Tara was amazing! I had a micro wedding in August, and she was incredible to work with, from both a communication standpoint and quality of work. I highly recommend doing a trial, even if you're having a small wedding. I've never gotten professional hair/makeup done, and Tara was so easy to work with, adjusting as we went to create the perfect look. Especially during COVID times, I felt extremely comfortable the way she handled everything with hygiene in mind. The day of went so smoothly and was completely stress free, Thanks Tara!

Thanks Qiqi for your kind words! It was so nice working with you and helping you figure out your look. Congratulations on your wedding and much love to you, your new husband, and little Timber!
I had a wonderful experience with Tarasina with Luxe Artistry! She was beyond accommodating for our last minute elopement on the coast of Oregon! She did beautiful faces on my two bridesmaids and my mom! My Bridal make up and hair was everything I could have hoped for and more! She really helped bring the vision to life! For a group of us varying in age and make up taste, she created beautiful looks that were unique to the individual, but complimented in our larger group photos. I cannot speak more highly of this wonderful experience! I felt so lucky to have Tarasina be a part of the day!
Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Luxe artists were all wonderful to work with, kind, respectful and so much fun! Highly recommend!
I can not rave enough about the professionalism of Tara, Jimmy and Taracina on the day of my daughters wedding. They arrived early so they were ready to go exactly on time. They gave each person, in the wedding party, special attention and really cared about their work. They were kind, funny and really cared about their work. Everyone’s hair and makeup still looked great at the end of the night. We hit the jackpot having them. I can’t thank them enough for all the did!
WOW! That’s all I can say. I hired Tarasina to do my makeup and she nailed it. I don’t like other people doing my makeup because it never seems to turn out the way I want but Tarasina made me feel so beautiful. Thankful I found her! I highly recommend her for anytime you need your makeup done!
Tara and Jimmy were so wonderful to work with! They were so upbeat and intent on making sure the look they gave us was exactly what each of us wanted. They were easy going, fun, and kind - and did such an amazing job on all of our hair and make up! I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event.
Response from the Vendor on 03/07/2020
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your group of ladies was a pleasure to work with. Congrats on married life!
I felt so smokin hot after Tara did my makeup!! Lol! I loved that she was able to blend my face/neck color perfectly. I wish she could do my makeup everyday!! I will absolutely go back for events and a makeup lesson:)
Response from the Vendor on 02/10/2020
Thanks Sarah! You and your crew were so fun to work with. I would be thrilled to work with you again. Thanks for the trust and chill vibes. Great job picking out your photographer too!! Erin’s photos are amazing!
The whole crew at Luxe is fabulous. I cannot tell you how much I loved my bridal hair and makeup. Tara and Tarasina worked their magic and I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. My judgmental sisters all thought it looked beautiful!! They really know weddings. I don’t normally wear makeup and Tara did such a wonderful job. It looked so appropriate for the day. She even incorporated a muted version of my wedding colors into the eye shadow. That’s the kind of attention to detail they give you. My hair is impossible and somehow Tarasina made me look and feel like a model for the day. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you ladies, you were so professional and I’m so glad I found you!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/10/2020
Thanks so much for your kind words! Your wedding was so fun and all your sisters were great to work with. We appreciate you and your laidback energy. Made our work environment just the best. Best of luck to you and your new husband and congratu...
lations on your wedding! Lucky man you have there!
I photographed a wedding with Tara's artistry and the bridal party's hair/makeup were gorgeous: from outdoor urban portraits to indoor dance parties, makeup and hair were flawless all day. Tara was funny, warm-hearted, and professional. Highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 02/08/2020
Erin!!! You are so kind! Thank you for these sweet sweet words. It would be a dream to work with you again!!
Tara was wonderful to work with on my special day! She accommodated me on short notice, and she was super flexible about my changing plans (more bridesmaids wanted hair/makeup than originally planned). She was a great communicator, arrived on time, even though she had to travel about an hour outside of Portland. On top of everything, she was SUPER sweet, and all of my ladies loved her!
My hair and makeup withstood an outdoor ceremony with a little rain and a lot of dancing. I didn’t do a trial, but I was happy with her stylistic choices, and she definitely glammed me up! This wasn’t a problem at all, but for brides planning ahead, I might suggest you bring a lipstick you like for touch up later in the evening, or if you have a long-lasting lipstick you like, you can always have Tara apply it.
I would definitely recommend Tara!
I imagined the morning of my wedding would be stressful, but the Luxe team made getting ready fun and easy! They were so easy to work with from consultation to day of!
Tara is amazing! She did wedding hair and makeup for my bridal party and both moms - all of us, all by herself! She’s a rockstar. My first booked hair / makeup backed out and honestly I’m glad because that meant I had to find Tara. She’s so talented but allows you decide what you want (without being pushy) and knows how to help you achieve that. We felt so comfortable working with her. I highly recommend her!
Jimmy and Tara did the hair and make up for my best friend’s wedding of which I was a part! Jimmy is flawless with hair and such a joy to work with! Tara listens and is down to do exactly what you want!
Tara did an amazing job with my hair and make up plus the hair for my 5 bridesmaids and mom!! She helped all of us feel so beautiful and was fun to have be part of my wedding morning. Highly recommend!
Tara was the absolute best.
I was on the fence about having my hair and makeup done at all. I thought about just doing it myself because I didn’t feel like it was worth the high costs some vendor charge. I was impressed with the pricing quotes I received from Luxe Artistry Group. Tara was so professional and helpful while also being so fun to work with. She helped me feel at ease when I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do leading up to the big day. She had some great ideas and executed flawlessly. My whole group loved working with her and loved their hair and makeup even more. She is so good at what she does! It was the best day ever for me and Tara was the best vendor ever! Highly recommend!
Tara and Jimmy were incredible! I don’t usually wear makeup and the most I do with my hair is brush it from time to time, I have never looked more beautiful than on my wedding day and it’s all thanks to their magical hands! Thank you so much guys for making me stunning for the most important day of my life!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2019
Thank you Hilda! It was our pleasure working with you on such an important day. Thanks for trusting us with your glam! Congratulations on your beautiful wedding!
These two...amazing. I came into this with little to no knowledge about how I wanted my hair/makeup because I don't do much of it on my day to day. BUT they took me under their wing and boy did they deliver. From the minute I met them on the trial, Tara answered every question from type of lipstick to ways to improve skin care routine leading up to the day. I sat down on the morning of the wedding and essentially told her I wanted a completely different look and she didn't skip a beat and created the most stunning and natural look I had ever seen. Not to mention, she even addressed an often overlooked part of make up: the neck! She put Angelia Jolie's make up artist to shame ;) Now Jimmy, my goodness. If you don't love Jimmy you are crazy. This guy! He is insanely talented, hysterical, and kind. He multi-tasked getting girls hair done, making jokes and keeping my 1 year old nephew entertained. He created gorgeous looks for myself, the bride, to my mother in law and mom to all my bridesmaids. And he did it all with a smile and hilarious commentary. If you are looking for an amazing crew with not only talent but the personality to keep you laughing and happy on your day, look no further. THIS IS IT!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2019
Thank you so so much for these kind words! Working with you and your group of ladies was so fun and everyone was a pleasure! Congratulations on your wedding and we can’t wait for your photos!
I absolutely loved my time with Tara, Jimmy and Tarasina. From the make up and hair trial, to the actual wedding day - Tara has gone well out of her way to make me feel lovely. Details mattered to them, and it shows. Incredibly timely, organized, well run. I was put at ease from the beginning. Doing my (the bride's) hair and makeup, plus my 4 bridesmaids', plus my 2 aunties and junior bridesmaid, they had their work cut out for them. They take their time but keep on schedule. Had an incredible time getting ready for the biggest day of my life with these wonderful people - and would trust them for any event. Plus, they will give you such a fun time with their banter. Tara is lovely inside and out, thank you making me feel my most beautiful self!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2019
It was such a pleasure working with you and your group of ladies! Thank you so much for these kind words. Congratulations on your beautiful wedding!
Tara was incredible. I got a bit finicky about my hair and makeup but she was so sweet and attentive to my thoughts. I was thrilled with the end result and the makeup photographed so well! she definitely knows what she's doing. She did my bridesmaids as well and they all looked amazing - I'm confident she could nail any style. Besides her talent, we all genuinely enjoyed hanging out with her! I highly recommend her for your day.
Tara did an exceptional job doing the makeup for my entire bridal party and my Mom. She was very organized and professional and kept us on schedule without an ounce of stress. My girls loved their makeup. Everyone looked stunning and comfortable in their own skin. I was really happy with how my makeup turned out and Tara did a great job understanding what I wanted and making it happen. We had Jimmy from Luxe do our hair and he also was fabulous. They were a great team that kept the mood light and fun. Not one person in the bridal party had the slightest issue with how their hair (or makeup for that matter) turned out (when does that happens!?)-he did a wonderful job. Tara placed my hair extensions perfectly and Jimmy finished my hair style and it all came out better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Luxe. They are THE BEST.
Tara is AMAZING and I am so thankful for her! She did hair and makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids for my wedding on 5/25/19. From my initial communication with her, she was so informative and quick to respond to all of my questions. She has incredible hair and makeup skill, and is so fun and easygoing. She was the best addition to my wedding day. We all felt so beautiful! I was not entirely sure how I wanted my hair and makeup, and she took my input and created something wonderful. I would absolutely recommend Tara/Luxe Artistry Group to anyone planning their wedding!
These ladies are hands down the best when it comes to hair and makeup! Their work is incredible, which you can see from any of their pictures, but more importantly, they are a joy to work with! With hair and makeup, you're choosing someone who is going to spend a significant amount of time on your wedding morning/day with you and your loved ones, you want people who you enjoy being around and these ladies are just that! My family and friends loved them and they made us look perfect for the big day!
There are so many important decisions to be made during wedding planning. Looking back on my wedding day, choosing Lux Artistry Group for hair and makeup services stands out as truly one of the best wedding decisions I made. Working with Shannon and Tara was such a breeze and they made the entire experience truly so wonderful! From my trial for my bridals, to the wedding day services I can truly say that I loved everything they did for me. Not only did they make myself and my entire bridal party look phenomenal, but they made the morning of so fun and memorable! I am so grateful that they took the look I envisioned for myself and my bridal party and made it an actual reality. I would HIGHLY recommend choosing Lux Artistry Group for any hair and makeup services that you need! You will not be dissappointed, I promise!
Shannon and Tara were both so great to work with for my wedding! They were both so friendly and sweet.
We had some quick conversations and shared pictures about what I wanted for hair (Tara) and makeup (Shannon). After my trial they took pictures to reference for the big day and asked what I liked and may want to adjust for wedding day. Since I hadn’t had professional makeup/hair done before that was so helpful!
Day of, they brought everything they needed in what I can only call a Mary Poppins suitcase of hair/makeup/lighting, and came to us so the girls and I could relax while getting ready! Everyone looked great and we had so much fun. I would highly recommend Shannon and Tara to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2018
Thank you Sara! You are too kind! Thanks again for choosing us!
Tara is the BEST!! Beyond her amazing makeup and hair work, she was such a fun addition to my wedding day and so easy to communicate and work with.
Her makeup and hair were impeccable. I had barely any changes I wanted to make- but everything I asked for she adapted and changed to fit my dream. I know so little about hair and just showed her 1-2 pictures and she was able to create the exact look I was looking for. My makeup was picture perfect all night.
She came to my house for our trial earlier in the week and dealt with the craziness of my family all around her.
She and Jimmy (her hair stylist) were the perfect team. They added an element of fun to getting ready and took away any stress I might have felt. They also spontaneously did makeup and hair for almost all of my bridesmaids since they were so fast and efficient (we hadn't planned for this).
Tara is amazing and has my heartiest recommendation.
Tara was absolutely incredible during my hair and make-up trial and on the wedding day. From agreeing to do the trial on her birthday (what a champ!) to being very easy to communicate with and super punctual, she made it a great experience. A lot of my bridesmaids were unsure of how they wanted their hair to look, but when she saw Tara begin working, they knew they were in good hands and she would make them look awesome. Everyone was so thrilled with her work. Thank you Tara!

Congratulations on your beautiful wedding Brooke! Working with your group of ladies of so much fun and your mom was just the sweetest. Thank you, and everyone, for making me love what I do!!!

Luxe Artistry Group Portland
Working with Shannon was a super easy process. I gave her a few photos of what I wanted for make up, we adjusted a few things and I LOVED how my makeup turned out for the big day. She was attentive towards what color eye shadows I liked and what looked good with my skin tone. Also, my bridesmaids looked beautiful!
Wes Pursley did my hair and he did such a fantastic job! I actually changed the plan last minute, he squeezed me into his schedule for a practice round, and it came out so beautiful on the day of! I went for more of a loose, curly up-do with a flower piece and he nailed it! And again, my bridesmaids looked beautiful.
The whole staff was so friendly and fun during the getting ready part of the day. I never felt stressed or rushed once. Their timing was perfect. I would recommend this group to anyone!

Thank you Sarah! We loved working with you all!!!
Luxe artistry group was amazing!!! I was planning my wedding from California to Washougal Wa. I wasn’t sure where to start to find a MUA. I started searching the knot and looking at Instagram profiles. I am so happy to have found Tara. She responded right away!! Was so friendly and kind to communicate with and made the stress of finding the perfect MUA go away !!! Tara came to our wedding venue location early with ample time to get me and my girls ready on time. She even was able to squeeze in a few more things that the girls decided last minute to add on. Thank you Tara for making me look and feel gorgeous!!!! My makeup stayed on even through the happy tears and most importantly seeing my now husbands face when he finally saw me at the altar is something I’ll never forget. My hair style lasted the whole night! Tara kindly placed my flower crown and veil to complete my look. Thank you Tara for the fun glam day and for making our wedding day extra beautiful !!! I hope our paths cross again! :)

Johanna!! You and your girls were such a pleasure to work with!! I hope to work with you again if you and your husband move to Portland. Until then, congratulations!

Tara is truly a life saver! It was a week before my best friends wedding and we were going over the timeline for the day. We came to realize our current hair and make up stylist wasn’t going to be able to finish all 4 bridesmaids and bride in the time we had allotted to get ready. It was then my responsibility as MOH to find a professional that could accommodate hair and make up for a summer wedding in Portland with only a week left until the big day. I contacted Tara via the knot and she immediately responded. She answered all of my questions with professionalism and I was was incredibly impressed with her customer service up front. She offer to travel to our venue or to provide her services within the Salon she works from. We opted to have her travel to us and day of the wedding she showed up 20mins early, quickly got set up and got to work. She listened to our requests and provided her professional input to ensure we were happy with her services. We had to get ready 6 hours before ceremony for photos and I’m so pleased to say our hair and make up lasted the entire day and even into the late evening. Aa an event professional myself I’m so thankful to have found Tara in a last minute crunch and couldn’t have been more happy with her ability to make us feel comfortable and beautiful on such a special day! I’d highly recommend her for anyone looking for a professional, talented and personable hair and make up stylist for their big day or any special occasion!
Only 6 days away from my wedding I found out that I needed to book a hair stylist because my original one was not able to make it. This sent me into panic mode and was a little worried that I wouldn’t find someone, or let alone find someone who had nice photos, was affordable, and had reviews of some sort! Luckily Tara literally saved the day for me and was the quickest to respond and was able to quickly communicate with me through text to get myself, maid of honor, and bridesmaid booked for that following Sunday.
Tara was very prompt to arrive, and was a couple of minutes early to the hotel so that she could setup and meet everyone. She did so well amidst all of the “chaos” of the “getting ready” time in the morning and really put me at ease. I totally didn’t plan right for music that morning, but once again Tara saved the day and put on a Spotify playlist on her phone. (Thank you!!!) She even jumped in to offer waterproof liner to my makeup artist/ bridesmaid that had traveled in from out of town. Talk about above and beyond! This girl comes prepared and she is super personable and easy to talk to. She was just the right kind of energy that we all needed on the morning of the wedding.
Also I didn’t do a trial or anything and she completely exceeded my expectations for my hair. All I had to do was show her a couple of styles I had pinned and she went right for it. Not only that, but it also rained on the day of my wedding so I was a little worried about my hair and makeup holding up. My hair (and makeup) was absolutely flawless the entire time, through the rain and all the way until the end of the night because she had done such a wonderful job. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone that is looking for someone to help them get ready on their special day. She was incredible and absolutely exceeded my expectations and came through for me at the perfect time.

It was all my pleasure! So glad to be able to help you and your ladies out. Congratulations on your wedding!
My sister got married a few months back and I was so impressed with her hair and makeup artist, Tara Bland. I was looking back on the pictures the other day and I am just so happy with how it all turned out💜if I could have used her for my own wedding (she was already booked up) I would have. Tara was on time, had professional products in a wide range of colors and she took her time with each of us ...and we never even had to touch up which is impressive in itself! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone searching for an experienced hair and makeup artist for their big day!
My family had the pleasure of working with Tara for my brothers wedding. This wonderful lady can do it all. We had a large group of ladies that needed makeup and hair and Tara and the Luxe group handled every one flawlessly. Tara took the time to listen to what you wanted and also gave her professional opinion on every hair and make up aspect. The bride, bridesmaids, mothers, sisters, and all were so pleased with her execution - Tara really has a gift for making you feel comfortable and beautiful. I cannot recommend her and the Luxe Group enough. They truly came through during a stressful time and made every one involved feel special and stunning.
Tara from Luxe was absolutely amazing!! She made my big day so easy for me and my bridal party. She took her time and really listened to what we wanted for our hair and makeup. Tara made us feel beautiful and we are so grateful for all of her her!! You would be crazy not to hire Tara for your big day too! You will NOT regret it!
Tara is absolutely phenomenal! I had my makeup done by her for both my Hindu and Catholic wedding ceremonies just last month and she did such an amazing job. Both looks were completely unique from each other but still so elegant and refined. I got so many compliments on my makeup, which in my community is quite rare!
She also did my mum and aunties makeup, who are both not used to wearing makeup at all and are very shy if they ever put it on. They both loved their looks and felt so comfortable on both of the wedding days!
I'm so incredibly happy that Tara was able to the makeup for the wedding! I felt beautiful but still like myself and it was so great to have someone enhance my features (which I didn't realize looked that good before Tara).
Would highly highly recommend her for your own wedding or any event!
I did a significant amount of research into the make up artists in the area before booking (because HELLO you have to look at these pictures for the rest of your life, so you have to get it right! HAHA) but when I landed on Tara I knew I was going to be in good hands. She made sure that I felt completely comfortable and was happy with the look during my trial, my bridals and on my wedding day. I felt natural and glammed out all at once which is exactly what I wanted. My bridemaids and I have had our make up done professionally several times, and I can speak for everyone when I say that this was THE BEST yet. We did not have to retouch ourselves after she left to get the look just right -- like we've all had to do so many times before. It is no easy task to have 12/12 women completely happy with their look, but Tara did just that! Booking with Luxe was one the best decision I made regarding the wedding. Thank you a thousand times!
We had the pleasure of working with Shannon and Tara for our wedding in Austin, Texas. Both of them (and their team) did an amazing job making us look so beautiful! The quality of their work speaks for itself. They were very flexible in working with us to get a schedule that worked for the holiday weekend, listened to the details we all wanted, and overall we could not be happier with our decision to go with them.
They were on time and professional. But most importantly, they did a beautiful job on my bridal makeup! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day, I couldn't have been happier with their work!
Luxe Artistry put me at ease right from the beginning. They were professional, creative, and well qualified. I recommend them to all my friends for any special occasion. I was very pleased with their services and would use them again, over and over.
By far, the best hair and makeup I've ever had as a bridesmaid or a person in general. I requested a natural look for my makeup and the bridesmaid version of an updo Mohawk for my hair and they both nailed it! Shannon and Tara are super talented and really fun to have in the room on a wedding day. I honestly can't recommend them enough!
Shannon and Tara were beyond wonderful leading up to and on my big day. I was looking for a local vendor willing to travel from Austin to my destination wedding in Port Aransas. Both women took the time to discuss what I wanted and were flexible with me in scheduling "practice runs" for my hair and make-up looks. They gave me great insight and advice on constructing my photography schedule to maximize our prime hair and make-up looks. They made myself, seven bridesmaids, and two mother-of-the-brides look absolutely stunning and with time to spare and even touched us up between photo sessions and the ceremony. I could not have asked for a better experience!
Luxe artistry group was great to work with for my wedding!!
Shannon did a great job on my makeup and complimented my Indian skin tone and colorful outfits. As an Indian bride, this was a big concern of mine since previous artists have left me too dark or too light but she did a great job matching my skin tone and picking colors that were very complimentary.
Tara did a great job with my hair. We did 4 different styles including up dos and hair down for my various events. They all turned out great and Tara was very receptive to feedback as we styled to make minor adjustments.
Luxe was very accommodating to my large 11 person wedding party and wedding needs. They were also very nice and worked with me to do my trial in time for my slightly complicated out of town engagement shoot.
I had a great experience and highly recommend working with Luxe!
These ladies (and 1 gent) are consummate professionals. Their hair and makeup work was gorgeous and they were a calming influence during a 3 day event. Everyone was ready on time and looked fabulous. They listened to each client and gave them a beautiful version of the requested services. I did not hear one complaint from anyone. I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services! Shannon, Tara, and EJ--thanks so much for helping us look our best!
Shannon and Tara are the absolute best. I've always looked forward to the day I would get to have my make-up and hair done and their work made me incredibly emotional because it was everything I had always wanted.
They did my makeup and hair for boudoir pictures and then again for my wedding. Two completely different looks and both equally perfect. They also did the hair and make-up for my Bridesmaids, my Mom and my little flower girl's hair. They were patient, kind and fit right in with all the ladies. One of my Bridesmaids had never done her make-up before and went in thinking she would just do something so she didn't look shiny. After watching Shannon work and converse she felt so comfortable with Shannon she let her do her full face. That may sound small but for her it was monumental.
I cannot recommend Lux Artistry group enough, they are professionals and true artists.
I worked with Tara to have my hair and makeup done for myself, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mother. Tara did an amazing job both at the trial and on the wedding day and she was able to accommodate a few small changes I wanted. Most of all, her and her 1 other hair artist were able to accomplish the impossible task of getting all 9 of us ready on time. Tara has such a fun energy, I would work with her again anytime and I definitely recommend her & the Luxe Artistry Group!
Shannon (makeup) and Tara (hair) were an absolute dream to work with for my wedding. They were prompt, professional, fun and were super patient with my very "specific" bridesmaids and me! I won't deny that I know what I want. I had wanted an updo after the ceremony, and Tara even stayed during the ceremony and pictures to help me with that.
Overall, these are the kind of people that you want doing yours and your friends makeup. It was such a relief to know I wasn't going to look like a different person on my wedding day, and it was awesome to hear about how everyone from moms, to my girls, to one of the groomsmen who had a zit on his face, loved these ladies!
Shannon and Tara, you rock!!
Shannon and Tara did an amazing job with my hair and makeup! I came in from out of town for the wedding and they were very flexible in scheduling my hair and makeup trial, as well as the actual hair and makeup appointment on the big day. They understood exactly the look I was going for and I loved how everything came out! I don't usually wear too much make up and Shannon made sure to take into account my desire to look natural. In the end, my husband loved it, my guests commented on how great I looked, and most importantly, I felt beautiful and glamorous! The cherry on top of the whole thing was that they were both so nice! Definitely recommend!
Shannon was wonderful at responding so quickly to all of my questions. She did a wonderful job and was very timely with everything. Our hair and makeup stayed for the entire wedding and she was great at listening to exactly what you wanted as a bride. She was fun and great to be around as well and is great at making sure everyone was ready on time. she did a wonderful vintage look and if thats what you want for your wedding look no further than her and her team!
Jen and EJ did my hair and makeup for bridal portraits and wedding and they were amazing! They are so fun and easy to be around and did such a great job with me and my bridesmaids!
I had a very unique wedding day in that I had TWO ceremonies (Hindu in the AM and Catholic in the PM) and wanted two different looks. Shannon and Tara came through and made me feel and look like a princess!
Listen, just like you knew your fiance was THE ONE, upon meeting Shannon & Tara, you'll know that they are THE ONES to make sure you look and feel like a million bucks on your very special day. Don't hesitate. Hit that "Request Quote" button immediately.
Tara did my hair and make-up for my wedding day. It was perfect and I never felt so beautiful! She was extremely friendly, responsive and great to work with. After my trial, she was available via text to give me recommendations on lipsticks/products to buy. I highly recommend Tara!
Luxe Artistry Group is the best! Not only did Shannon and her team make my entire wedding party look absolutely beautiful but they were also super professional and FUN! We had quite a large party and they made sure everyone was taken care of and looking fab in time for our shuttle! Shannon is awesome- I LOVED my makeup and it lasted the entire wedding and then some, even out in the heat! Highly recommend Luxe!
