Ore Makeup was phenomenal! Christine and Gianna were so sweet and caring. Not to mention their work was flawless. I felt like a beauty queen and my girls looked amazing too! I would recommend them to anyone looking for hair and/or makeup services!!
From the moment we reached out to Karen at Ore Makeup Design, they were quick to respond and listened closely to what we wanted for our wedding day. On the day of, their team was reliable and professional, making sure to make us all feel special and create moments for us in an elegant and polished way. The makeup they provided for my bridal party and for me was lightweight and stayed flawless throughout the entire night, helping us all feel and look our best. They truly went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, and we are so grateful for their incredible work. Thank you for everything!
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Karen's team. Marilyn did an unbelievable job creating a hairstyle that even incorporated my flowers! Gianna did an incredible job with my makeup, which looked classic and understated but still had a wow factor. The team helped my bridesmaids and family feel comfortable and supported throughout the morning, we all felt like we were just hanging out with old friends. I hope you will hire them for your special day!
Karen and her team did my hair/makeup for me and my bridal party in my hotel suite before my wedding and they were fantastic! Our visions were brought to life with ease and we all felt so beautiful! Karen was communicative, positive and supportive throughout the whole planning process leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding, Karen and her team were on time, prepared, worked efficiently with our timeline and brought all the fun, positive vibes! Throughout the wedding day my hair and makeup stayed perfect. I especially loved how light & comfortable my makeup felt. It was so natural, yet radiant. I would highly recommend.
Karen, Marilyn, Lisa, and Rose were so amazing! Karen did an incredible job on my trial and I was so happy and excited to see the final product. She was communicative and excited for me throughout the entire process and leading up to the wedding day.
On the day itself she and her team were on time and professional, but we had fun with them as well! My family, bridal party, and myself all were so happy with how we looked and felt on my wedding day. I could not recommend Ore Makeup more!
Karen, Marilyn, Lisa, and Christine were all wonderful and made myself and my bridesmaids look beautiful! They listened to what everyone wanted and offered suggestions to make their looks even better. They were able to work with all different skin tones and hair types as well. They were very personable and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. Cannot recommend Karen and her team of wonderful hair stylists and makeup artists enough!
Karen and her team were amazing! She was responsive throughout the entire planning process and couldn't have been nicer. Everyone's hair and makeup came out beautiful. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup came out as well. It was the perfect mix of natural and bridal. Everyone felt beautiful and the makeup lasted the entire night. Thank you guys for everything!
Ore' Makeup Design was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with this recommendation. This company provides hair and makeup services, which was so convenient to book. They truly want everyone to feel beautiful and we all did! All of these ladies are easy to talk to and balanced giving suggestions with listening to what each person wanted for their hair/makeup. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup- I loved how my bridal makeup didn't feel or look so heavy. I felt natural and beautiful. I can't say thank you enough to the whole team!
I had a trial with Ore and felt like I wasted my money. In discussion with the owner Karen while setting my appointment, I was clear that I didn't want to sign any contracts until after the trial. The night before my trial, I texted to ask for the address for my appointment. I was sent the wrong address and showed up at the owner's home. When I called her, she was thoroughly confused as to why I was at her house, despite it being the address she had given me. She explained that she sent me the her address for the contract info... I finally drove to the correct address. Once I arrived, the nightmare wasn't over. I came prepared with many makeup and hair inspiration pictures. The hair stylist curled my hair and threw a single braid in it and asked "Are we done?" I was absolutely dumbfounded. The makeup was several shades too dark for my skin, not blended into my neck, and you could see the lash glue on my eyes. I spent way too much money for frankly subpar services. I highly recommend not wasting your time with Ore.
Absolutely amazing! I loved spending my day with them they were fun and personable. They were super nice and made my wedding day prep a blast! Karen did my makeup and Rosie did my hair and they we amazing 10 out of 10 definitely recommend! I’m going to be honest I wasn’t 100% set on my trial for my hair but Rosie came through day of when I changed my mind and gave me the perfect princess hairstyle that I envisioned! Karen is an absolute gem, I told her I wasn’t a big make up person and she made me look natural and beautiful! They are a good time and do the best work!
Great hair and makeup team. They did a lovely job with my hair and day of hair/makeup. They travel to your location and you can’t beat the price. We had bride, 3 bridesmaids, and two moms. We started very early around 4:30am and we’re tight for time to be done by 8:30am so I wish we had started early, but they had everyone done and looking great in time. My makeup stayed looking amazing even in the August heat the entire day and hair only started coming out at the end with all of dancing (could just ask for more bobby pins). They were fun and we’re able to match exactly what we wanted!
Karen & her team were amazing! I wanted a natural look & she nailed it. They completed 12 hair & makeup in 4 hours! So much fun to be around also!
Karen and her team were the best for hair and makeup! I was really looking for a natural look, I wanted to look like a glammed up version of myself and Karen nailed it!!! All of my bridal party also looked stunning! Her team is professional and also so fun to be around! They bring a great wedding morning energy! Highly recommend!
Karen and her team were absolutely amazing from the very beginning! I used her for my 8/12/22 wedding and I found her through my venue's preferred vendors. She was local and knew the venue and its space very well. She worked with me to figure out what kind of look I wanted for the day and she definitely delivered. My hair was exactly how I wanted thanks to Marilyn! She was able to use the hair piece I had and incorporate it in the perfect way to show it off! Absolutely love this team and so thankful for all their help on my wedding day!
I found Karen through my photographer and I was so thankful that I did. Karen and her team were amazing from start to finish. Communication throughout the process was great. I was looking for a natural look and Karen absolutely delivered. Rose did my hair and it looked beautiful all night long. Karen and her team beautified all 10 of us in record time! My mother and bridesmaids were so happy with their hair and makeup. Everything lasted all night. I highly recommend Karen and her team for your wedding.
When searching for makeup for my wedding day, Karen and her team were recommended to me through stylist friends. Karen personalized my experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent. Lisa did our makeup and she was excellent! I wanted natural looks and she made my girls, my moms and I look absolutely beautiful. She did 7 girls in record time and we had time to just relax and enjoy the day. The makeup stayed on all night long and was top notch. I highly recommend!!!
Karen and her team were great! Karen was responsive, professional, and accommodating. I would have to say I was a picky bride and Marilyn and Kate were so patient and just a pleasure to have around. These ladies were so talented and fun to be around. Thank you for making my day so special!!
Karen and her team were absolutely fabulous to work with! My wedding was 8/27/22, and everyone looked stunning from the beginning of the day all the way through the end of the evening! Can’t recommend a better makeup and hair team!!
Karen was amazing from start to finish. From communication, reasonable pricing, to her down to earth authentic personality - I was so relieved and happy as the bride to have found her. She always put my mind at ease and I loved her energy.
We worked with Karen and Rose for my recent wedding on 8/13/22. They were so much fun, showed up early and we’re ready to go! All my girls loved their hair and makeup and I got compliments all night on how good my hair and makeup still looked even by the end of the night. They were so accommodating to different styles and last minute add ons. Definitely recommend!
Karen and her team were absolutely amazing! Karen was so helpful in answering all of my questions. Lisa and Marilyn were a dream to work with. They arrived early and worked quickly and efficiently. Without rushing, the 9 of us were done with plenty of time to spare. My girls were so happy with how their hair and makeup came out. Our hair and makeup lasted all day and night, a fear of mine having an August wedding. Everyone looked truly stunning. Highly recommend booking your big day with Karen and her team! You will not be disappointed!
Karen and Marilyn were so amazing the day of my wedding! The two of them finished hair and makeup for 8 girls with time to spare, and did it calmly with a smile on their face the entire time. They did everyone's hair and makeup exactly as they asked, and seamlessly made any changes I asked them to from my trial. Would recommend them to any bridal party!
Karen and Rose were an absolute dream! Not only are they such sweet, wonderful people, but they are incredible artists! Seriously, they were able to take a handful of Pinterest pictures and some vague ideas I had to create the perfect wedding look for my theme and color palette! I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, so I was a little nervous, but Karen's natural look is so spot on! I was so happy after my trial that I couldn't wait for the wedding to come, and then they outdid themselves on the day of the wedding!! All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and I looked INCREDIBLE, and everyone had a style that was unique to them! Plus, they were so much fun to chat with as we all were getting ready. I highly recommend!!
Karen and her team were the perfect selection for my wedding! Lisa did my makeup and Rose did my hair! My bridesmaids were very happy with all of their looks! I loved the natural glam look because I still felt like I looked like myself! The team listened to everything we wanted and were extremely helpful in making each one of us feel beautiful!
Without Karen and Rose my wedding would not have been as amazing as it was! Your hair and make-up & FEELING beautiful dictates your confidence throughout the day, as well as what makes for memorable photos. The Ore team made myself, my wedding party, and my husband look and feel our best! Ore came highly recommended by our venue and I can't wait to hire their services again for any next special event. Thank you so so much for making us feel and look beautiful on the most important, pivotal day of our lives thus far!!! :)
Highly recommend Karen and her team!! They did an amazing job with hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party. From the trial to my wedding day, Karen was incredible flexible and easy to work with. Every one of my ladies looked and felt absolutely beautiful! The team was professional and easy to work with and really listened to what I was looking for. Gianna did my hair and makeup and I could not have felt more beautiful, everything with this team was perfect!
Lisa and Marilyn were WONDERFUL!!! I felt like a princess on my special day and that is what every bride dreams about. The girls kept us laughing and helped take our anxiety down a few levels. Their work is on another level; they are extremely talented at what they do - hair and make-up!!!
I am so glad that I found Karen! She was perfect for my special day. She was very professional and knowledgeable yet so funny, laid back and easy to talk to. I felt relaxed knowing I was in good hands. She perfectly understood the vision for my makeup and made it come true. The effect was exactly what I wanted; I felt beautiful and special. I would definitely recommend Karen and Ore' Makeup. I couldn't ask for a better service!
Karen and her team were phenomenal for our wedding day. Myself and the girls had such a blast getting ready with them, everyone was so laid back and fun! The hair and makeup on every girl was so gorgeous and not overdone whatsoever. Special shoutout to Rose for giving me the absolute perfect bridal hairstyle when I didn't even know what I wanted! She was creative and really saw my vision for including flowers in my hair. I could not recommend this group more!
I am so grateful I found Karen and her team. We are a bunch of laid back chicks who rarely do our makeup. I wanted us to all look natural and professional.. And WE DID! My bridal party and I received compliments all night on our hair and makeup. We felt so beautiful! I had a big bridal party and Karen, Rose, and Julie took wonderful care of us. So pleasant and fun ! Thank you ladies so much for making us feel beautiful.
Karen, Rose, and Marilyn were kind, fun, talented, and efficient. And they were so receptive to the requests of all my girls (8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 2 grandmoms!). I was worried about getting my makeup done at all because I typically don't wear makeup and wanted to still look like me on my wedding day; but Karen's style was so natural, she really just made me look like a more beautiful version of myself. And I didn't have to do a single touch up the whole night! Rose gave me the most beautiful, elegant updo. People literally told me I looked like royalty (someone said Meghan Markle) - so compliments to these ladies! Would highly recommend Ore for anyone's wedding!!
Working with Ore’ Makeup Design was an absolutely wonderful experience. I am so lucky that I had Karen as my makeup artist on our big day; she is one seriously talented woman! My makeup looked flawless and I felt beautiful. Marilyn is such a skilled hair stylist that my hair looked perfect the whole time! Both Karen and Marilyn made me and all my family feel so comfortable and are both excellent conversationalists. I highly recommend Ore’ Makeup Design!!
My wedding was 11/8/2020 and Karen, Rose, and Marilyn were my absolute dream team! From the moment I met Karen she was so personable and easy to talk to. My trial went great and from there the wedding was even better! The morning of they arrived and quickly set up and got to work. They made it such a fun morning! My girls all had undo's and I had a half up/half down. I had 5 makeup and 7 hair and they were able to get us all done in 3 1/2 hours. Their pricing is very reasonable too. The makeup and hair held all day and I could not be happier that I chose them for my wedding day!
My wedding was 9.6.20 and Karen and Rose were absolutely wonderful! They made the morning of the wedding relaxing and fun. My makeup stayed on all day and looked great in pictures and my very long hair stayed in place and stayed curly the entire day! From my trial to the morning of my wedding they answered any questions I had and made sure that I absolutely loved how I looked. I highly recommend them!
Karen and her team were incredible to work with throughout the entire process from the scheduling, communication, trial, and of course the day of! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about how thoughtful and talented these ladies are! As someone who is a light makeup user, I felt so comfortable working with these ladies and could not have been happier with my hair and makeup which lasted the entire wedding. Thank you, thank you!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen and her team! From the very first time I contacted her, to the big day. She was always available to answer all of my (many) questions, and made me feel completely at ease. She and her team made each and every one of my girls look and feel beautiful, even altering styles and makeup to ensure they were completely happy with their looks. A special shoutout to Rose as well, who did my hair--it was picture perfect! People could not stop commenting on how beautiful everyone looked. I would absolutely recommend her services to all!!!
Karen and her team are PHENOMENAL!!! They worked absolute magic! They are clearly masters at what they do. They were also so sweet and funny! It felt like we had known them forever! Thank you so much for taking such good care of us. You cannot go wrong with Ore’ Makeup Design!!!
Karen and her team were amazing! They did hair and makeup for 12 people at our wedding about a month ago (9 bridesmaids, our mothers, and the bride). They made everyone feel comfortable and we all looked amazing. My hair and makeup still looked great at the end of the night (even after a great dance party). Thank you to Karen and the team for making us look amazing on our special day! I would definitely recommend Ore Makeup to anyone and would work with them again.
Karen was fantastic from the moment I inquired about her services. She was flexible and always willing to accommodate my difficult schedule. I had my trial with Karen and Marilyn and both put all my worries at ease. My wedding party had various skin and hair types and they had solutions for all of our concerns. The entire team (Karen, Marilyn, Holly, and Rose) made the morning of my wedding both calming and enjoyable. Marilyn did my hair on the day and she did not stop until it was exactly how I wanted it. The makeup was natural yet flattering to all of my girls. I would definitely use Karen (and team) again for future events!
Karen and her team of hair and makeup artists did an amazing job for me and my bridal party! Every person’s hair and makeup came out beautiful, and lasted until we went to bed (very late) that night. Thank you for such an amazing job!! Would highly recommend.
I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day thanks to your team! I am forever grateful to Holly and Deanna for getting up hours before the sun was up to prep my bridal party for my brunch wedding. Both women listened to each of us and had their own professional input as well. I would highly recommend this team!!!! If I ever need to get fancy again, I will absolutely call Ore!
Need a makeup artist who is professional, punctual, respectful, and talented? Ore Design is the best! I felt comfortable the moment we met for my hair/makeup testing trial. They listened to all my concerns and gave helpful answers. They were able to replicate images I showed her for my hair and was a pleasure to be around. I wish all vendors could be this amazing. Thank you so much! :)
Karen and her team did a fabulous job on my girls & myself! Our hair and makeup lasted all night and looked great in pictures. She made sure our makeup/hair was exactly what we wanted. Definitely recommend Ore' to all the new brides out there!
They did a great job with my bridal party's hair and makeup, and helped make sure everyone was on time for our photo sessions before the ceremony. All my girls came with pictures of what they wanted and everyone looked amazing. We even got my cousin, who normally hates being dolled up, to admit she liked being pampered.
My only complaint is that my false eyelashes and a few curls did need to be touched up by my maid of honor after our first look, but after that everything was perfect.
Jess did my hair for my wedding this past Saturday. I cannot get over how flawless of job she did on my hair as well as my bridal party's. I didn't stop getting compliments all night. I truly felt the most beautiful and confident I have ever felt. I am so blessed to have found Ore and Jessica to do my hair for the most important day of my life!
Ore Makeup Design is wonderful! My bridesmaids & parents looked so beautiful! My hair and makeup was exactly what I always imagined! Karen is such a calming presence and a true talent. Her personality put me at ease during a nerve filled time and my makeup made me feel confident and comfortable. I loved that she highlighted my features and didn’t make me look like someone else. I received countless compliments!
Rose did my hair and everyone was truly freaking over it! I had so many of my guests staring at my hair all night because it was so beautiful! It was like a work of art! She made my hair look like a vintage movie star’s.
They are easy to work with and make you feel at ease from my trial up until the day of. Thank you so much!
I can't thank Karen and Maria enough! Karen was professional and easy to communicate with via phone or email. The day of my trial I was nervous because I don't wear makeup or do my hair on a regular basis but Karen and Maria took the time to listen to what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like and what the vibe of my wedding was going to be. During the trial we had so much fun talking and telling stories and getting to know each and I knew right away I had picked the people! Karen knew I wanted to keep my makeup natural and that's exactly what she did! And Maria was able to take my long, thick hair and turn it into a masterpiece of flowing curls. On the day of my wedding they were there early and ready and waiting for us when we arrived at the venue. And just like during my trial they fit in so well with my group of ladies and it was like a bunch of girlfriends hanging out and getting ready together. They put on some music and got to work and we had so much fun! They made myself, my bridesmaids and the mothers look absolutely stunning with beautiful hairstyles and natural makeup. They made sure everyone loved the way they looked and that we all felt comfortable and pretty. Karen even checked in with my photographer while she was doing my makeup to make sure I was photographing well. I would HIGHLY recommend ORE Makeup Design!!
Karen and her staff made me and the wedding party (7 bridesmaids, 1 mom, 1 aunt and 1 grandma( look absolutely stunning for my wedding day. We couldn't be more thankful for her true talent of a natural makeup look that lasted all night and photographed perfectly. The hair stylists were also very talented and were able to match Pinterest photos for the exact updos the party was looking for. Highly recommend!
Ore Makeup was amazing to work with for hair and makeup! We had a tight timeline and everyone was ready on time and looked great - thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day perfect and stress free :)
Karen and her team did an excellent job on hair and makeup for a bridal party of 9 plus the mothers and bride. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future.
Ore Makeup Design was a fabulous choice for my wedding in June! They were actually my third makeup trial, and I was getting really nervous about never finding the "right" makeup. Lisa did my trial and was super easygoing, understood exactly what I was looking for, and perfectly made any changes I asked for. On the day of, she did my makeup and 2 bridesmaids and everyone looked beautiful! We were all really happy with how it came out, and the makeup lasted the whole night. I would definitely recommend her.
Karen and her team are amazing professionals -- so talented and personable. When I did my makeup trial with Karen and my hair trial with Marilyn, I felt like I made some new friends! On the day of my wedding, they arrived early at my hotel suite to start hair and makeup for my bridal party before we headed over to the bridal suite at the venue to continue getting everyone, including me, ready! Karen handled everyone's makeup and Marilyn and Jess were in charge of hair. Everyone was stunning! Even though I used Ore Makeup for my wedding, I have no hesitation contacting them again for other events in the future! I highly recommend Karen and the Ore Makeup Design team! They went above and beyond my expectations...and I promise they will do the same for you, too!
Karen and Rose are amazing! We had 3 bridesmaid hair along with mine as the bride, and 2 for make-up. We were all ready in time for the photographer, and the ladies made us all feel relaxed and happy on what can be a stressful day. They treat you like part of the family, and that is important to me. I have already recommended them to my friends who are getting married.
Ore' did my hair and makeup, as well as 7 other hair and 5 other makeup. We had 2 hairdressers and 2 makeup artists, and got everything done in under 4 hours. It was super efficient and low-stress, given our tight schedule before our first look.
Of the multiple vendors I contacted, Karen was the sole person to give me a call to discuss pricing, timing, etc. The personal touch was much appreciated and comforting. After I decided on Ore', I set up my trial with Karen and Rose. My mom came with me and we all had a great time chatting, which made us feel incredibly at ease heading into the big day. I don't get makeup done ever, and I've had the same hairdresser for basically 15 years, so feeling comfortable with Karen and Rose was incredibly important and really quelled my anxiety going into the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup both turned out amazing! I absolutely loved everything. As someone who does not typically wear makeup, Karen made sure that my makeup looked natural and not overdone, and I love how it came out in photos as well. It was a tough challenge, as we did photos outside in the bright mid-afternoon sun, but the makeup was perfect that nothing looked washed out or overdone.
My hair looked amazing, and held all through the entire reception, despite my active participation on the dance floor. All of the bridesmaids and my mother and mother-in-law were very happy with their hair and makeup as well!
Ore' was a very calming presence during the stressful prep time and got everything done in accordance with our schedule, with amazingly beautiful results!
I used Ore Makeup recently for my hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and the mothers. I was beyond happy with the results! Karen and her team were prompt and on time, day of, and so friendly to all the ladies. I was nervous since I brought extensions and didn't use them during my hair trials but my hair came out amazing!! Rose was so patient with me too as i was a bit stressed the morning of my wedding as one can imagine :) My makeup as well was beautiful - I received so many compliments all night and I truly felt like a princess!! Two artists, Karen and Rose, came with us to the venue for touch ups (we all got ready in the hotel beforehand) and they were so great all day!! I really am so happy and wish I could look like that everyday!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about the dynamic duo- Karen and Marilyn -- and their team of hair and makeup artists. Karen did an incredible job with our makeup, which photographed so beautifully in our pictures. In addition to her makeup artistry, she is such a fun person to be around and she made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and special on our wedding day. The same can be said for Marilyn. She was able to recreate hairstyles from online pictures perfectly- it was truly remarkable how she matched our requested styles flawlessly. She, too, was so invested in the both of us on our wedding day. It’s hard enough to knock it out of the park with one bride, but they were able to do it with two!! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to spend the day of our wedding with. Thank you again to our talented team of hair and makeup artists-- Karen and Marilyn, you made our day so incredibly special!!!
Karen and Rose were amazing! They were so easy to work with and so fun! They had no problem when I wanted to come back for a second trial and were so accommodating and made me feel so at ease!
Ore Makeup Design is the best in the business! Karen was a pleasure to coordinate with, and her team rocks! They are incredibly kind, professional, and talented. Rose and Holly were my wedding day glam team, and the results were amazing! They were an absolute dream to work with!
I truly cannot express how amazing the team was for my wedding. Every single person in my bridal party looked gorgeous! I couldn't have asked for a better experience the day of my wedding. Val was my makeup artist & absolutely killed the look I wanted. Being a makeup artist myself I looked up a lot of hair and makeup places & came across Ore' Makeup & I couldn't be happier. Val did amazing at taking the creation in my mind & made it a perfect reality. Barb was my hair stylist & I truly cannot explain how amazing she is. Everytime I met with her it was like talking to a friend, her work was absolutely stunning & came out perfect. I truly cannot thank Ore' Makeup Design enough for making my bridal party, my mom, my mother in law & myself look perfect.
WE LOVE KAREN. She’s an incredible woman running an honest business with a group of very talented hairdressers and makeup artists. She was working with 3 Kayla’s at once, so sometimes wedding details got a little mixed up, but I never had doubts leading up to the big day. Karen worked with me and my sisters so well (the three of us can be pretty demanding when it comes to wedding day looks) and all of the artists meshed with the group. We honestly felt like we had known them all for years! Thanks for bringing my bridal vision to life, Karen!
