The Luxe Artistry Group was wonderful to work with from start to finish. The initial booking was simple, and Rachel was very patient as we finalized our date and get ready location. Emilia and Shelby were equally fantastic to work with, both flexible when I needed to adjust my trial date and the start time of the actual wedding day. They were both punctual, positive, fun and they brought the energy as they got us (me and my 4 bridesmaids) ready for the big day. Everyone, including myself, were incredibly happy with our finished hair and makeup looks. They were very accommodating to look adjustments and Shelby gave each of us extra of our lipsticks/glosses to reapply throughout the day. Our hair and makeup stayed pristine throughout the festivities, which speaks to their professionalism and skill. I can't recommend them enough!

I could not be happier with my choice in Hair and Makeup for my wedding! I was in contact with Kelsey from Luxe throughout the process, and she was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and flexible! Day of the wedding, Kelsey and Bex traveled all the way to Woodland to start hair and makeup for myself and all of my bridesmaids. They considered each person’s inspiration and concerns in all of their work, and as the bride, I got a little over an hour to make my look perfect. I felt so amazing, and received so many compliments on my hair and makeup during the wedding. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about Emilia and Tarasina! They were both so kind, fun to be around, and made the whole getting-ready process such a joy. They were incredibly accommodating with my requests and made sure I felt completely comfortable with everything. Their work was absolutely amazing, I truly felt like the most beautiful bride thanks to them.
The Luxe Artistry Group as a whole was also wonderful to work with, so easy to communicate with and very responsive to emails, which made planning stress-free. I’m so grateful to have had Emilia and Tarasina as part of my wedding day and would highly recommend them and Luxe Artistry Group to anyone!

Amazing!! I was so so happy with my hair and makeup, and so were my bridesmaids and mom. We all felt so beautiful. And all of our hair and makeup stayed all night long. Rachel did our hair. She helped us all decide what was best for each of our hair, and made sure we all loved it! Bex did our makeup, and made us all feel like an enhanced and glowy version of ourselves! I also coordinated with Rachel, and she was so helpful and put me at ease throughout the process.

We had Shelby and Steph as our hair and makeup artists, and we could not have been happier with their work! Both were accommodating, professional, and very skilled at what they do. I had several changes to the number of services we wanted in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and Luxe Artistry Group was very flexible with our changing numbers. In the end, we had 7 hair services done and 4 makeup services done among 7 girls, and everyone was so happy and pleased with how they looked. I highly recommend these two artists and Luxe Artistry Group for any bride! Note: Due to scheduling on my end, I did not have a hair/make-up trial. With that said, Steph was able to change my hair how I wanted (even after she had finished my hair and it wasn't how I envisioned it). Her flexibility and adaptiveness to me on my wedding day was so appreciated :)

I booked bridal hair and make up with Shelby and Stephanie and they did an AMAZING job! My hair and makeup looked beautiful and stayed all day long even in the rain. They also did most of my bridesmaids hair and/or makeup and everyone was very pleased with what they got. They bring a positive and fun atmosphere which was wonderful on my big day. Would absolutely recommend them!

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

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.

Kelsey and Rachel were the best glam squad I could have asked for and gave me the perfect simple wedding makeup look. As someone who wears minimal makeup typically I was hesitant to find a MUA for my wedding- but I'm SO glad I did, it was exactly what I showed her/wanted. The hair was also perfect and both looks lasted all night long. Would recommend both of these ladies to anyone!!
Besides being amazing at their art, they are also cool ppl who were a joy to hangout with and made the whole experience stress free. Timelines were perfect and they communicated just the right amounteading up to the big day!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!!!!

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!

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!

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!

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! :)
