I absolutely adore Ahshia and her team. I hired Ahshia after finding her on the knot and then we had a conversation over a year ago over the phone about my wedding vision. In August 2024 I did my hair and makeup trial with Ahshia. Prior to this appointment I expressed concern about needing a haircut/trim and wash and blow out and she immediately set up for me to go to one of her colleagues (Tia) who did a fantastic job. During my hair and makeup trial Ahshia was kind and did a fantastic job and did over what I thought could be imagined. I told her some tweaks and she was confident she would deliver come wedding day.
Last week Oct 26th was my wedding day and Ahshia BEYOND delivered. She helped me look and feel so beautiful and made me look even better than on the trial day. My mother, who is picky and often does not do much for herself, was SO happy with her results as well and my sisters and other bridesmaids loved the MBA team.
I am truly awed by the experience I had and Ahshia has gained a forever supporter of her services and I cannot recommend her enough. Some things she did:
-my mother wanted a hairclip and I did not have any extras. Ahshia just had some extras and was able to provide this for my mother which made her ELATED
-Her team worked double to get my mother's hair correct
-Ahshia DID MY GROOMS makeup! He was SO confident and was feeling himself by the start of our wedding. He felt like he was cared for as well
-Her team was able to stick to the timeline and were just so focused on their roles and making sure all 6 of my bridesmaids felt special
-her team provided the glam looks to my bridesmaids that I was hoping for and overall my bridesmaids were beautiful and my day was a success
-Her team was able to work on women from different ethnicities, hair styles and skin tones
-Her team worked hard to prepare in advance and I know they did because they asked me for hair and makeup inspo photos from all of my bridal party and gave us all feedback on what was needed (weaves, clip ins etc) so that we could all come prepared.
-my sister arrived wanting a ponytail and MBA team member Tia literally made the ponytail unrecognizable and gave my sister the largest ponytail that was full of life that she requested
Ahshia is the BEST!!! From the time we first spoke, I loved her calm energy and focus on a stress-free experience -- such a great vibe! And let me tell you, if you want someone who is going to really work to make sure you get the look you want, it is her. We did two hair trials and I still didn't love it, but Ahshia was PHENOMENAL in taking the time to talk through it with me and better understand the look I was going for. Sure enough, she nailed it on the wedding day! I felt beautiful, my mom looked amazing, and we had a wonderful getting-ready experience thanks to Ahshia. Truly a kind soul and so talented at what she does, don't hesitate to hire this lovely woman.
Ahshia and Whitney were amazing! Ahshia really listened to me during our trial and on my wedding day to make sure I was happy with my hair and makeup. Whitney also made sure that my bridesmaids looked their best! I am so happy I trusted them with our hair and makeup!
I loved everything about Ahshia!!! She was always in communication and super punctual. She listened to what I wanted and delivered more than what I expected on our special day!! I one and fifty percent recommend her services if you want great quality and amazing service. Thank you again so much ❤️🙏🏾
The person who was supposed to book my make up didn't follow through and I was 2 weeks from my wedding. After a mini-meltdown I found Ahshia and she was wonderful! She assured me that it would be alright. She was correct and my mom and aunt were beautiful as well. Thank you for making my day special. I am still receiving compliments about the make up!
Professional. Good energy. And what a sense of comfort, patience and enthusiasm with creating a beautiful bride. I am so honored to have been apart of her experience in giving us ladies what we need on our special day!
Ahshia pays attention to details, her clients and she is very professional. Ahshia has amazing hands and she is meticulous with the details of your makeup. The makeup lasts long and is waterproof. I have booked Ahshia several times for various services.
Very talented, attention to detail would highly recommend
I was married on 11/3/23. Makeup by Ahshia was the best choice for my hair and makeup as well as my mothers & MIL. She was professional, timely, easy to communicate with, as well as extremely pleasant. She was the the only person that I found that provided both bridal and hair & makeup on location and it was extremely convenient. All of our hair and makeup came out beautifully. I cannot recommend her enough!
I couldn’t have asked for a better hair & makeup expert to help me along the way with bringing to life stunning looks for my bridesmaids and myself! Ahshia is truly talented in creating beautiful looks and identifying the best personnel for her wedding-day team while making you feel so supported along the way! My bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful and cared for throughout the entire day, especially because of Ahshia and her team’s attention to details, positive energy, and passion for their artwork. Our hair and makeup lasted flawlessly ALL night long…even after working it on the dance floor, we received so many compliments!!
Ahshia went above and beyond to make sure our day went perfectly. She did all the bridesmaids and the brides hair per a schedule that provided days in advance. She was clear with communication and was perfectly on time. She was worth every penny and would absolutely use her again! But hopefully I never have to! ;)
Ahshia was true pleasure to work with leading up to my wedding day and on my wedding day. I did a bridal makeup trial and much for doing a stunning job on my wedding day makeup and everything on my wedding day matched completely. Thank you so much for doing my moms, sister and sister in-laws makeup, they looked stunning. I received so many compliments. It was everything I could have ever hoped for and I felt naturally
beautiful. Thank you very much again for the incredible work you did. It was a pleasure working with you. I know our paths will cross again in the future. Highly recommended and appreciated!
I had a great experience with Ahshia! She was very friendly and professional and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She did a beautiful job on my makeup! She was very detailed and I loved the colors she used for me! I highly recommend Ahshia!
Ahshia did an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding. She did a very thorough consultation about a month before the wedding where she really listened to my skin care needs and desired look. My makeup lasted all day and looked great in person and in the photos. She came to me and did makeup for 2 of my bridesmaids who also looked great! Ahshia was very professional and sweet, I would absolutely hire her again!
I absolutely recommend AHSHIA! Exceptional service from start to finish.
I had the pleasure of working with Ahshia, an incredible makeup artist, for my wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ahshia has done my makeup for other events, so I knew she would not disappoint for my big day! From the moment we began to discuss my look for the big day, she put me at ease and took the time to understand my vision for my bridal look. She was attentive to every detail and made sure that I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. When I looked in the mirror on my big day, I was blown away by how beautiful she had made me look. Her skill and artistry are truly unmatched, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional makeup artist. Thank you for making my wedding day so perfect!
