Mackenzie and her crew were an absolutely fantastic pick for hair and makeup on my wedding day! I am so happy I went with them. I found them on The Knot and did a trial and a hairc...ut with Mackenzie before my big day. I went in with some pictures and was a little undecided with what I wanted to do with my hair. I was a little nervous because I have naturally curly hair, and I've been to some hair stylists who just don't know how to tame and style my hair straight. I knew I wanted a neutral/natural look since I was having a classic, farm/rustic wedding. I also don't wear a ton of makeup normally, so I wanted to make sure it was neutral and that I looked like myself. When I went for my trial, I could tell right away that Mackenzie was confident and knowledgeable, and knew her stuff. She was blunt about what she thought would look good for my rustic-style wedding, but it was just what I needed. I absolutely loved my trial look. She managed my hair beautifully and my makeup looked so natural. I think I booked her the next day!
Leading up to the wedding, I got my hair cut with her and she gave me some tips on things I could do to have my hair "wedding day ready". She also was able to recommend some lipstick colors for that neutral look I was picturing, which worked out perfectly. She was quick to respond on email or via phone, and there was never a doubt in my mind that I hadn't picked an excellent vendor. She was one of the vendors that I knew I could count on to do an amazing job when it came down to it.
On my wedding day, Mackenzie and Courtney arrived to Normandy Farm on time and ready to work. We were getting ready in a guest house on site, and the lighting was a little tough, but they were totally flexible and made it work with no complaints. Mackenzie worked on makeup and Courtney worked on hair for my six bridesmaids, flower girl, and mom. Everyone looked absolutely amazing. I was so pleased with the bridal party's look. Everyone looked natural, and had the neutral/romantic feel I was going for. Courtney did a lot of updos with braids that looked awesome. Even my bridesmaid who wears next to no makeup on an everyday basis loved the natural look that Mackenzie gave her.
I was also super happy with how Mackenzie did my hair and makeup. My makeup looked absolutely amazing and neutral, like I wanted. She did a unique braid in my hair that had the loose, romantic feel I wanted as well. And everything lasted the whole day too.
If you are looking for an amazing hair and makeup artist, go with Mack Stylist. Mackenzie is amazing at what she does and is so incredibly knowledgeable. And her employees are the same way. They helped to make my wedding day perfect. Thank you ladies!
