OffBlack Arts

Hailey has done my makeup multiple times, from costume to glam, but I never could have imagined the calm confidence she brought to my entire wedding day - 9 faces and an unexpected room switch mid bridal makeup and all. I was so excited for my mother and sister to have their makeup done by Hailey, to feel like the most beautiful version of themselves, and she delivered tenfold; my mother kept saying “I didn’t know I could look like this!” Hailey masterfully switched from heavy disco themed bridesmaid glam, to natural 66 year old mother of the bride (who never wears makeup) to the bridal makeup of my dreams - I didn’t even know what I wanted, but Hailey did. Hailey is more than an extremely talented professional makeup artist; she is the bringer of calm vibes, good advice, confidence, and literal perfection. I cannot recommend Hailey enough for any occasion, but ESPECIALLY your wedding day!

Hailey of OffBlack Arts stepped in just two weeks before my wedding after my original makeup artist fell through. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. With time being so tight when I booked her, she was incredibly responsive, detail oriented, flexible, understanding, and she totally saved the day. For the day of the wedding, she arrived on time, fully prepared, and brought such a calm, professional, happy energy to the room. Each bridesmaid's look was customized perfectly based on their inspiration photos, and everyone was thrilled with the results. Hailey even provided us with a bit of lipstick and powder puffs for touch-ups. All of our makeup lasted 13+ hours. If you're looking for a talented, professional, fabulous makeup artist who truly delivers, Hailey is your girl. I HIGHLY recommend (and will be booking her for every time I need makeup in the future).

Hailey was a dream to work with. She is professional, personable, and amazing at what she does! She helped me start off my wedding day the right way and I’m so happy with how my wedding day makeup turned out. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I chose Hailey because I’m a redhead and one of my bridemaids is a woman of color, and she had a variety of faces showcased in her portfolio instead of solely showing white blonde brides. She was super easy to book, completely stress free. She kicked off the day for us and everyone loved their time in her chair, she was super relaxed and approachable. She was flexible and enthusiastically went with my sudden inspiration that I wanted fairy colors on my cheeks! I highly recommend Hailey for a professional, breezy, talented makeup experience!

Hailey is an outstanding makeup artist. She tailors her skills to her clients and their needs. She will make your face glow no matter what the occasion is. She is very friendly, kind and simply amazing to work with. You will never be disappointed with her services.

Hailey did my makeup for my wedding as well as my bridesmaids and some family members. She was such a calm, kind, helpful energy on such a crazy day! Not to mention beyond talented. Everyone loved their makeup and sings Hailey’s praises to this day. My mother, who has dementia was absolutely beaming and felt so beautiful. Haileys communication is amazing. She’s professional, punctual, flexible. She is not just a makeup up artist but a kind soul who is encouraging and positive, melting so effortlessly in with wedding parties and family members. I could not imagine my wedding day without her. She also did my makeup for my engagement photos, and has in the past for events. Not once have I disliked anything she did. I have loved it all. She is open to feedback and so great about making sure you are happy in the end. I know every time I work with Hailey that I’m in the best hands possible.

I loved working with Hailey for my wedding makeup! This was my first professional makeup experience and I'm not a huge makeup person, but I knew I wanted to get my makeup done for my wedding. Hailey is so knowledgeable and kind and made my experience so great! I thought I looked great. Not overly done and not nothing either. We went through options during my trial so the day of the wedding I had no notes and it was a stress free experience. Also, Hailey makes great conversation so we had so much fun both times she did my makeup! She also did my wedding party's makeup and everyone looked stunning. We have all different skin types and tones and Hailey was easily able to handle everyone! Couldn't recommend her more and so thankful that I found her!

Hailey is the best!!! If you’re looking for HIGH quality work, professionalism, and an overall great gal-pal throughout the entire wedding process, she’s your girl!

Hailey is an incredible makeup artist. Her energy and artistry is unmatched. I have used her for numerous professional and personal events and she always goes above and beyond! Her professional judgement allows perfect application and a lasting result.

I had Hailey as my makeup artist on my wedding day and she was amazing! I originally had another makeup artist scheduled, who pulled out last minute. Hailey came in to save the day and also helped me find a hair stylist. She made scheduling very, very easy. She was professional to work with, a nice addition to the wedding day prep, and most importantly, I loved my makeup! I am not someone who knows much about makeup and Hailey helped walk me through the process for a glamorous, but still natural, look the day of. I got a ton of compliments and couldn't be happier.

Hailey is so amazing to work with!! First of all, she’s so incredible talented. From my engagement photos to wedding I felt so beautiful! Also, all of my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG looked absolutely incredible on my wedding day! Second, Hailey is so professional and incredibly kind. She is so thoughtful and makes sure that you’re comfortable throughout the entire process. She was always early, was easy to communicate with, and is such a calming presence. 10/10 recommended!!

Hailey is so talented and I am so grateful she was able to do my wedding make-up this past July. She interpreted my vision and helped me figure out the best make-up look that complemented my skin and kept my freckles out, while still giving me a soft glowy look. Working with Hailey was a wonderful experience and I am so glad that we booked a trial appointment in advance - it was so fun to try some different finishing touches and have time to "live in" the make-up look for a day - I was also able to book my hair trial the same day, so it was perfect! I am so glad I got to work with Hailey and I am so absolutely happy with how my make-up looked on my wedding.

Hailey is truly an incredible makeup artist. I had a small elopement style wedding but still wanted my makeup done, as did my maid of honor, and my mom. Hailey came to my apartment on time in the wee hours of the morning ready to go! She had everything from a stool for me to sit on, to little containers to take things like lip gloss, and lint free squares to dab all my happy tears away - things I would never think were important until that very moment. My make up was absolutely amazing. Hailey asked for my thoughts on lip color before hand and if I had any inspiration photos just to start the conversation so she can nail down exactly what I wanted. The day came and she got to work! She was lovely at telling me what she was doing throughout the whole process and told me we could do this “kardashian style” so I could still chat with people and drink my coffee instead of just being a frozen statue. My makeup made me feel so beautiful and was exactly what I wanted for the big day. I wore that face from 7am until 12a, hiked up a trail on warm sunny day, cried my happy tears, kissed my husband a bunch, smiled for a million photos, and continued to hike and pose for photos until dinner later in the day - and when I tell you this makeup did not smudge… I looked as good as I did when she first applied it if not better. I was so impressed. The people who you hire on your wedding day, make your wedding day. Getting ready was the most fun and stress free experience thanks to Hailey, and I’m forever grateful for her! 10/10 recommend!

It's hard to actually encapsulate how amazing Hailey is! Doing our trials with her was fun and playful. She asked what we wanted and tried different ideas to really make us feel amazing on our special day. With two brides with very different requests she was flexible and tailored each look. She worked with a variety of aged skin from 13-72 for our bridal party and really made each person feel incredible. Hailey is so kind, flexible, resourceful, helpful and not to mention absolutely hilarious. She's even good at calming anyones nerves. If you're looking for a makeup artist, look no further!

Hailey’s work is unmatched! I have worked with her many times, and I have always left being beyond impressed. She truly listens to what you want, and gives you a look that brings out the best in you. I always tell her, “I want to look glamorous, but like myself”, and she does exactly that. I would trust her to do my makeup for any event and know she will give me nothing but perfection. She is the best of the best, and the greatest makeup artist I’ve ever worked with! Highly recommend her!

Hailey was the best makeup artist I could’ve asked for! She was so kind, personable, and it felt like I had known Hailey for years! My makeup turned out perfectly and I cannot recommend her enough!!

Hailey was amazing! She had first done my make up for an engagement photoshoot. It was almost 90 degrees outside on the day-of and my makeup stayed on beautifully. She listened to and did the exact color palette suggestions I imaged on my wedding day. I'm especially particular about my mascara, and she took the time to do individual eyelash placements to get the exact look I was going for. I would definitely recommend Hailey!

Hailey was beyond fantastic! She made me feel heard and helped me look great on my wedding day. She was thoughtful, considerate, and professional. I feel very lucky I got to have her on my team for such an important day!!

Hailey was outstanding! I have very fair skin and do not often trust people with my makeup because they will try to make me look tan or put on way too much makeup. Hailey made me look natural but everything popped in the perfect way. Every single woman in my bridal party and both mothers looked gorgeous after Hailey finished their makeup. Also, the makeup lasted beautifully from 8 AM until everyone went to bed at midnight! Hailey is also a delight to get to sit and chat with so it made the morning getting ready fun, relaxed, and easy. I cannot recommend her enough!

I attended a wedding in 2019 and the bride, mother of the bride, and bridesmaids' makeup was so natural and exquisite. I asked for the mother of the bride for the makeup artist's name and contact for my daughter’s wedding. The makeup artist was Hailey with Off Black Arts. We hired her for my daughter's July 25, 2020 small Covid year intimate family wedding and again for her big wedding on July 23, 2021. Hailey is an amazing and gifted makeup artist. She makes her clients looks as though they are ready for a magazine shoot. My daughter's makeup was gorgeous and her wedding pictures are excellent. As the mother of the bride, I was so extremely happy with Hailey's makeup artistry on me, I hired her when I needed business professional headshot. I have had countless compliments on my business picture. To top it all off, Hailey is extremely kind and sweet. We give Hailey a 5 star ratings – she is truly exceptional.

I hit the jackpot with booking Hailey, I started wedding planning May of 2020 (yikes) I was so scared I wouldn’t be able to find a vendor I loved, and I got so lucky with booking her. My makeup was flawless, she is so sweet and is so beyond talented. I ended up crying after she left my wedding venue, I texted her as soon as so could and begged her to come back. Little did I know she didn’t need to be begged, she was already turned around heading back. I love this girl and love her work, I’ll be booking her for everything in the future

Hailey with OffBlack Arts added to our day well beyond her expertise as a make up artist. She is a strong communicator, professional and was well liked by all. My bridesmaid said it was like she had on the beauty filter! The Moms, who were out of their comfort zone, felt heard and looked so nice. Her work speaks for itself but I really would like brides to know that she is a calming presence and can match the ambience of room seamlessly.

Hailey was amazing!! My friends and family are still raving about her! She was communicative, punctual, so kind and wonderful to be around the day of the wedding…not to mention the wedding makeup she did was absolute perfection! I’m picky when it comes to others doing my makeup, but she listened to what I wanted, knew what would work and it was amazing! Would hire her again and again!

Hailey makes you feel so at ease, is very knowledgable with makeup techniques, and uses a variety of quality products. I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing makeup artistry services.

Hailey was really fun, personable, and easy to work with. We hired her to do bridal party makeup for photos and she did a wonderful job! Her skills and experience was top notch and she kept us entertained with interesting stories. We were very happy with her work, especially since it can be difficult to find a MUA that has a lot of experience working on darker or warmer skin tones.

Hailey was an absolute dream to work with! From the trial appointment to the wedding day she was extremely reliable and very diligent in any responses to questions I had. I would 100% recommend her to anyone wishing to look fabulous to their event!

Hailey was incredible. I was very nervous on my wedding day and Hailey calmed me down by evening out my blushing on my neck and chest. I felt totally comfortable with her and she even put lotion on my legs and feet right before my portraits. She waited around until she knew I looked perfect. I am so lucky to have had her help on my day.

Wow! Hailey was absolutely amazing! Now only did she take covid safety seriously, she was punctual, easy going and most off all an incredible makeup artist! With all the mask taking on and off all of the ladies makeup didn’t budge at all! No weird nose or cheek marks! My bridesmaids told me repeatedly that their makeup never looked so good, and I personally never felt more beautiful ! My mom with more mature skin (sorry mom) even loved how hers turned out and was shocked she didn’t have to re-touch anything! You won’t be sorry if you book with her! Thank you again!!

Hailey was a dream to work with from beginning to end. I was nervous to do my own makeup for my elopement but her makeup tutorial put me at ease. She carefully walked me through all the details of application and best practices for using brushes and varying products. We used as many products of mine that I already owned and she gave great recs for supplementing my collection. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and she helped me find a look that felt natural. After the session, she checked in to see how my practice was going and continued to offer tips based on photos I sent. My makeup looked 💯on wedding day plus I now have all these cool tips for everyday use. She was just lovely throughout it all.

Thank you for doing what you do!!! I am so so happy we choose you for wedding day makeup!!! It was amazing to be all dolled up and still look like me! It lasted all day with only lipstick touch ups throughout the day! I will recommend you and would be honored to have you do my makeup again!!! Also, thank you for calming and reassuring me when I needed it! You're amazing ❤️

Hailey was an absolute joy to work with. I hired her recently to do my makeup for engagement photos. Being someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera I was feeling very anxious when I met with her on the day of. She instantly made me feel so at ease keeping me occupied with fun conversation and even let me be included in what we were selecting to use for my makeup (although I gave her full control and she did not disappoint)! I've had my makeup done multiple times as a bridesmaid in the past and always been disappointed. Hailey knew exactly what to do to make me look and feel my best. You can tell she truly loves what she does and wants her clients to be 1000% satisfied.

Hailey was amazing! I've worked with her for previous photoshoots so of course I had to book her for my wedding. I love her work so much that I didn't feel the need to do a bridal trial but she insisted so that I was completely happy on the day of. I had family members that have never had their makeup professionally done, not to mention a few that were immunocompromised, and each of them loved their glam look. Hailey made everyone feel very comfortable and safe with her easy-going personality and sanitation steps. I highly recommend her for any special occasion!

Hailey was so wonderful! Not only was my makeup beautifully done, she was a delight to work with and talk to. I am a shy person by nature, and she made me feel very comfortable. She had safe working practices set up for COVID, which was wonderful to see. My makeup stood up to a long day with my mask going on and off all day, and it remained gorgeous. She also gave me a lipstick to keep which was a lovely touch. Anyone looking for a great makeup artist should work with Hailey!

Hailey did a phenomenal job on my wedding makeup! I looked natural, yet still had long-lasting wear. She was incredibly professional and sanitary during these COVID times. Only reason I am docking one star is her pricing was higher than everyone else I had been quoted by when researching. Ultimately felt its worth it though for ones big wedding day!

With COVID throwing a major wrench in my 2020 wedding plans forcing me to move my event halfway across country, Hailey went above and beyond to help me come to a solution so that I will feel beautiful and special on my wedding day. She first attempted to connect me with makeup artists in her network in Wisconsin. When those artists were not available on the date of my wedding, Hailey agreed to the next viable option- a makeup lesson. As a girl who only uses mascara and a little blush on occasion I was definitely nervous to take this on for such an important day! Hailey arrived for my lesson promptly and once we got started I felt much more at ease. Hailey is laid back, yet attentive. She remembered exactly what look I was going for from my consult many months prior which made me really feel heard and understood. She looked at my home makeup supply to maximize the utility of what I already had while flawlessly matching a concealer shade and pointing out some other useful products along the way for my investment. I was comfortable practicing with her in this 1:1 setting free of judgment where we took turns with each step in the application process (her doing one side, me doing the other). Book her already! Since my lesson, I practiced the routine a few times prior to the big day. Definitely going into wedding week with much more confidence!

Hailey was an absolute dream to work with. I had a friend recommend her and I'm so glad she did. When we met for my consultation, I immediately felt at ease and comfortable like I was with a friend. I had her do two very different looks-one for the ceremony and one for the reception. She nailed both of them perfectly. I had given her a few inspiration photos and she understood exactly what I was going for. I left feeling ecstatic and confident about my wedding day look. She was so flexible with my schedule the day of and I really appreciated the calmness she brought. It's was relieving to not only have someone that understood the look you were going for but also did it with such joy and love. I could not have asked for a more perfect person to make me beautiful on my wedding day.

So friendly, made me feel at ease, professional, quick to respond, flexible, talented, easy to work with

I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My makeup was absolutely gorgeous (as well as ALL of my bridesmaids). From the trial to the actual wedding day, I knew we were on the same page about what I wanted and she made sure of that. On time, professional, fun, and extremely talented.

Hailey came highly recommended from a close friend who works in the industry and knows how particular I am about makeup. It isn’t easy to find someone who’s portfolio is as diverse as Hailey’s, and being an Asian woman I was nervous about finding someone who would understand how to enhance my features while still looking and feeling like myself on my wedding day. From the very beginning I felt like I could trust Hailey, her work speaks for itself and she is such an easy going and caring person. I immediately felt taken care of, which, during a Covid wedding is a huge gift! I have never felt more seen or more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and that is what all brides hope for. Hailey is fantastic in every way and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel like the very best version of themself. Thank you Hailey!!

Hailey is amazing!! After our change of wedding plans from Covid left me feeling very nervous to be doing my own makeup (destination location, limit to number of people allowed at venue), Hailey was super flexible and offered to give me a makeup tutorial instead! We went step by step together, picking out the perfect colors for my look, and she taught me new techniques so that I knew exactly what to do. She was so patient - showing me each step, then letting me practice a few times until I felt confident I was ready to move on. She is very professional, but also made me feel like it was just a fun afternoon playing dress up. Highly recommend - even beyond the wedding -my makeup game just got so much stronger :)

I'm so happy that Hailey/OffBlack Art was able to do my makeup for my micro/covid wedding. Hailey made sure I felt comfortable in a face full of makeup, knowing I usually don't wear makeup at all. I was worried about not feeling like myself, but she 100% set me at ease with such a natural look/feel. Day of the wedding I could tell she had a lot of practice with nervous brides, as she was so calming thru the whole process.

Hailey is amazing!! I had last minute issue with a different artist I booked and Hailey swooped in and SAVED THE DAY! I wish I booked her from the start! She listens and illustrates exactly what you want. Everything was perfect and all of my bridesmaids were happy with her work! She is easy going and so helpful which is great to have around on your big day! I would 100% recommend her!

Hailey was an absolute dream! She was so sweet, easy to talk to and very open to any changes/criticism in our trial. She was professional and had the best products! She encouraged speaking up about making changes during the trial which was so helpful because sometimes I just go with the flow too much. Day of she brought such a calming presence and seemed to really care about each of my party’s preferences on style. Hailey spent a full hour on my make up perfecting it and then after everyone else was finished she offered touch ups and highlighting chest/shoulders. She also gives the bride a full lipstick of whatever color was decided during the trial for touch ups throughout the night! Hailey’s prices were very reasonable especially for the amazing quality she provided! I received her name as a recommendation from a friend and I will continue to recommend her to more friends as well as contact her for any other life events in the future! I am so happy I found her!

Hailey is so incredible! She has done my makeup a few different times and always knows how to execute the look I’m going for. In the past when someone else has done my makeup I always end up tweaking this or that because I feel like it doesn’t look like me. I never have to worry about that with Hailey, she makes me look amazing, which makes me feel amazing. So grateful to have found her!!

I can't say enough about Hailey. First of all, she traveled from Seattle to Wisconsin to do my makeup. Secondly, she offered me a trial run to ensure I was happy with the look prior to my wedding day, and I took her up on this. She listened to my ideas and looked at some pictures I had found and put her own ideas into it also. I loved my makeup, it was natural and timeless. I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments on my makeup and it photographed well. She also managed to hide my bags under my eyes and made me look well rested (even though I had been up all night worrying about the weather!) It was humid on my wedding day and while my hair flattened out, my makeup held until the very end! She left me with a lipstick to touch up my lips, and overall made me feel special and important. I wouldn't choose anyone else if I had to do it over again, and you shouldn't either. You get what you pay for, and Hailey is worth all of it!
