Pretty Please Hair and Makeup was spectacular and great to work with! She was professional and efficient, and I highly recommend Pretty Please for your NOLA wedding or next event!
Joann and her team were absolutely fantastic. I can not recommend Joann more. She truly was able to make magic and make everyone look flawless on my wedding day. The makeup did not...
budge all day, and it photographed perfectly. I’m sure she’s fantastic on everyone but Joann and her team were super fantastic with Asian hair and faces and I could not say more positive things. They were quick and efficient but still got everybody looking flawless. She was friendly and accommodating and overall super professional. She was on time on wedding day and super flexible with our bridal party!
Joann and her team did an AMAZING job for my wedding day. Everyone LOVED their makeup. I hardly wear makeup so for me this was a big deal. She was very flexible (our wedding had t...
o be cancelled due to a hurricane and we had to move it up a day) and very sweet and professional. I highly highly recommend!
Joann and Jadie were great! They were all about making myself and my bridal party happy. I went in with not much of an idea of what I wanted for my bridal hair, however Joann too...
k what little I provided her and exceeded my expectations! I also brought her extensions to use and she was able to secure them and work them into my bridal hair without an issue. I've always had an issue with people doing my eye makeup (flinching, etc.), however, Joann was very gentle! Working with Joann and her team was a great experience and I couldn't have been happier with my bridal hair/makeup.
Joann is both professional and talented!
I had booked another vendor for hair and makeup for my wedding in January 2019. Long story short, I found out this vendor was not reliable...
the week of my trial and it didn't work out with that vendor so I was in a crunch to find someone that week to do my trial and be available for my wedding date.
Joann worked with me to fit me in and it all worked out. She is very responsive and her team arrived on-time and even finished early leaving me and my bridesmaids some extra downtime to relax before the ceremony!
Her and her team are very talented and my bridesmaids and mom looked amazing and I was happy with my look as well. The hair and makeup lasted throughout the entire day and I had a big break in between ceremony and reception (and it was a humid day!).
I had a great experience with Joann and you won't be disappointed working with her!
Joann nailed it!
I was so happy that she was willing to come on-location for bride-only hair and makeup, and did airbrush makeup and false lashes by default. She was so easy to wo...
rk with and her calm demeanor on the day was a pleasure!
My look came out exactly as I wanted - not overdone, but perfected. And the makeup lasted all night, even through a humid and sweaty second line parade. I also had a large zit on my chin that she made absolutely disappear; and my dry skin and lips didn't need any touchups!
I am so glad that I found her on here. Thanks again, Joann.
Say YES to Pretty Please hair & makeup & have no regrets!! Highly recommended!! Joann & her team were awesome! They came on site to do my whole bridal party & mother’s hair & makeu...

Joann was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She made me look & feel beautiful for my wedding day. I definitely felt like a celebrity after she was done with my hair & makeup. I couldn’t stop smiling. Joann is one of the sweetest person I’ve met. Thank you for making us pretty!
I definitely recommend booking Joann & her team for your wedding and special events! They will definitely make you pretty!!
Joann was amazing! Her and her assistant were on time and my look turned out exactly like the pictures I brought. Everyone was raving about how beautiful my hair and makeup was. ...
Totally recommend her for any New Orleans brides!
I can’t express how wonderful Joann was! I felt like such a princess. I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful in my life and that is entirely because of how talented sh...

I recommend her for any special occasion!!!

ely recommend Pretty Please for the glamming of your bridal party!
I am a native New Orleanian who got married in New Orleans on 3/31/18. I found Joanne while searching on theknot.com, I was looking for a hair and makeup artist that would be able ...
to work with a variety of hair types for myself and my bridal party. I've been to a wedding before where I was given grief when i was getting hair/makeup because "Asian hair is so much more difficult" and didn't want that to happen again.
I had my first hair and makeup trial with Joanne 9 months in advance and booked her after the tremendous job she did. After looking at my Pinterest inspiration, she was able to figure out what I was going for, and she works super fast too (without appearing to be rushing at all). I was so impressed with the trial AND she is so fun and easy to talk to. I had 1 more trial about 2 weeks before the wedding just because I was having second thoughts about my hairstyle and Joanne was able to figure out what worked well for me and put me at ease.
On the day of the wedding, she showed up a little early with 3 other hair and makeup artists to where we were getting ready, this was to do the hair and makeup for 11 women and 1 flower girl. Her team worked nonstop to get us ready and they all took the time to consult with every bridal party member, look at their photo inspiration (I had no restrictions or set hairstyles for the bridesmaids) and create flawless looks on everyone. Everyone was very complimentary of the team and some said that it was the best makeup they ever had because of the airbrushing!
Joanne worked on me and I could not have been any happier with the hair and makeup. I can't wait for the next fancy event in my life in town because I will definitely be calling up Ms. Joanne! Joanne and your whole team - thank you so much!!
I cannot say enough good things about Joann. She made the whole process so easy. From booking to the day of. She made my best friend and I look gorgeous. I got so many complime...

Joann is so awesome!
I found her online for my sisters surprise engagement. She came to us at our hotel, was on time and so sweet and professional.

Thank you, Joann! We will be calling you again in the future :)
Joann and her sister are THE BEST!!!!!! My hair and makeup were PERFECT! My sister/maid of honor also looks phenomenal. We both got SO MANY compliments.
I am a very fair red head, ...
and usually hate when I get my makeup done because people often use colors that are too dark and drastic. Joann, however, made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt. My hair and makeup could not have been more perfect. I was sweating during the Second Line and cried (a couple times) and my makeup never smudged! My hair also stayed perfectly curled throughout the night.
I would HIGHLY recommend Joann and her team! They are the best of the best!!!!
Joann and her sister awesome!!! My hair and make up stay on all night. She’s also very accommodating. Last minute I had to add another person to my party and she was able to move...
her schedule around to make sure everyone at their hair make up done on time. I would definitely recommend.
Joann and her crew are amazing!! I really wanted airbrushed makeup and I found Pretty Please through the Knot. The excellent reviews are there for a reason! We originally booked fo...
r two girls to come to our house the day of the wedding. When I spoke with my photographer (less than a month before the wedding), I found out we were going to have to be ready much earlier than we planned for. I called Joann in panic mode because I didn't think we were going to have enough time for all of my girls to get hair and makeup done. Before we got off the phone, she said "don't worry, we will make this work no matter what". That is LITERALLY all I needed to hear and I knew I wouldn't have to worry. Sure enough, she made it happen. Not to mention, my makeup lasted all morning and throughout the night (we had a day wedding) and my hair was solid, too! Book these girls!!
ADORE the Pretty Please girls! They came to do my mom and I's Hair & Makeup. We were referred by one of their past brides. I will definitely be using them again!
I love Joann and her sister! They were very professional, on time, and accommodating. What a great team duo! the energy was amazing! i loved the air brush especially, very very lig...

Joann and her team are the best! They were the sweetest girls ever! My bridesmaids and moms looked great! Their makeup and hair lasted all day and night.
Joann did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding photoshoot and the wedding day. I felt beautiful and had lots of compliments on how pretty my hair and make up was. I...
was very surprised on how long my hair and makeup lasted throughout the day with all the sweating from the heat and humid (no touch ups!!). Make up stayed fresh all day. Joann was very helpful, respond to emails quickly, sweet and professional. I highly recommend her!
Joann is very friendly and professional, and captured what I was looking for. I love airbrush makeup cause it's light and dewy on the face so that I can still feel like my everyday...
face on my wedding day, as opposed to feeling like I had a face full of makeup. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup; Joann and her crew was very accommodating for my large group. I'm a happy returning client for many years for any events I need to get Glam up for. I highly recommend Joann & her crew, they're really amazing at what they do! Our face & hair is their canvas ❤️❤️
I cannot say enough great things about Joann! She did hair for all of my bridesmaids (updos) my junior bridesmaid (11yr old) my flower girl (5yr old) MOB hair and my bridal hair (d...

and makeup looked fabulous all night, even after the second line and dancing at the reception. Not only are they professional and talented, they are also fun and make you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone getting married in the NOLA area!!!
You cannot go wrong with Pretty Please. Joann is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and she and her team are professional and definitely know what they are doing. After using J...
oann for my bridal party’s hair and makeup, I now go to her as my primary stylist.

onal, fun, and very talented. I would strongly recommend them and use them again! Thank you :)
Highly recommended. We tied the knot in March 2017 in my hometown of NOLA, but since we are now living in DC, we had to do the planning long distance. We found Joann online, and ...
I met her a few months before the wedding for a hair/makeup trial. She is everything you'd need in a MUA: very skilled at her craft, responsive and generous with her communication, and prompt. We emailed back and forth several times in the months prior to the wedding to test ideas and get some advice (e.g. what did she think about eyelash extensions?). She came to the hotel with an assistant to do hair and makeup for me, 4 bridesmaids, and my mother... and even convinced the groom to get some airbrushing done. Everything was on time, super fun, and stress-free. Oh, and we all looked fabulous. None of the girls wear much make-up normally, and the MOB was downright terrified of looking "not like herself." Somehow, we were all transformed into glowing, sophisticated, head-turning best versions of ourselves. Worth every penny and more.
Joann did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I've used her a few times and would highly recommend her. My hair was exactly how i wanted it and My makeup was flawless and stayed ...
on all night.
As mentioned in previous reviews, working with Joann from out of town was a breeze. She replies quickly and was very flexible with us. Joann arrived on time and was able to beautif...
y 6 ladies in time for the early morning wedding festivities. Everybody looked fabulous and I would highly recommend Joann to anyone looking for exceptional and professional hair and makeup services!
Joann and her girls are amazing! I was able to book her a little less than a year out from my wedding after having Joann do a cut and some highlights (highly recommend her for tha...
t as well!). Four ladies arrived at the hotel right on time and wasted no time getting prepped for hair and makeup for 9 of us. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and we actually were able to finish a little bit earlier than expected - which was perfect for snagging some extra pre-ceremony photos. I can't recommend them enough - you will not be disappointed!
It's very hard to find a makeup artist and hair stylist to work on an Asain person that can make you look very natural, until I found Joann! She's very easy to work with and knows ...
exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Everyone kept on complimenting on how beautiful and natural my makeup looks. I would recommend Joann to everyone I know because she does fabulous work!
Loved my makeup for my sister's wedding! I was in awe at how my makeup lasted all night long. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to have done my makeup for such an important night....
Thanks Joann!!
Joann and her sister were professional and efficient when it came to doing the make-up of my 2 bridesmaids, my mother, my new mother-in-law, and me (the bride). As an out of town b...
ride, Joann was easy to correspond with over email and even easier in person. Everyone looked fabulous the entire wedding, and we have the pictures to prove it! Thank you so much, Joann! Would definitely recommend her for any other brides out there!
I'm a New York bride that had to plan a wedding in New Orleans, so you can imagine how difficult it can get in researching, finding, and booking the perfect vendor. Hair & makeup w...
as especially concerning, but as soon as I found Joann, I knew I had made the right decision. After we did our initial trial, she was able to read my style and vision right away. I could tell that she has solid fundamentals in hair and makeup. She knew how to deal with all different types of hair texture, length, and style as well as different facial features. During the trial, she was extremely attentive, accommodating, and listened to exactly what I visioned.
On the actual day of the wedding, she arrived early to allow enough time for setup and by the time the bridal party arrived, we were good to go. She was so professional and easy to talk to. For the bridesmaids, she was able to create the exact hairstyle they wanted by just simply looking at a picture. She was meticulous but quick and made each individual bridesmaid look phenomenal. As for the bridal makeup, she went above and beyond to make sure the hair and makeup was exactly as I envisioned it. She paid attention to little details such as the condition and color of my skin that day and made sure I looked flawless. The makeup and hair lasted all night and got endless compliments.
I cannot say enough good things about Joann and her team. They really were wonderful and it was the best choice I made!
Joann is extremely sweet and great at was she does! I live out of town and only met with her once for my consultation and knew she would be the perfect person! We made some change...
s to my hair the day of the wedding and it turned out even better than what we originally had! My bridesmaids hair was extremely beautiful! I absolutely loved what she did with their hair! Joann is extremely accommodating as she does what you want without any questions! I wasn't planning to have my flower girls hair done, but decided to last minute and she was able to make that work! Joann is very friendly and personable! She makes you feel very comfortable which is important to a bride on a very stressful day! You won't go wrong with her! She's great!
Joann did my hair and make up on my wedding day, and I have seriously NEVER felt more beautiful in my entire life! When I looked in the mirror, my jaw literally dropped. She did ...
such an amazing job, and everyone told me all night that I looked like a model, a princess, or a doll. She was super patient with me when I was having a hard time with the eye lashes, but eventually, I couldn't even tell that they were there. Her girls did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, aunt, and mom, and they all looked absolutely gorgeous! They arrived to our venue early, everyone was finished on time, and everything was perfect. Thank you, Pretty Please!!!
Joann was fantastic - fast, efficient and flawless. As I was organizing my wedding from afar, I was worried about finding someone for hair and makeup. Joann was responsive and did ...
a wonderful job on myself and 2 of my friends. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Joann!

This is not my first time using Joann and the girls from Pretty Please, and I can't believe it gets better with each time. She is so accommodating, friendly, on time, and super rea...
sonable. My girls LOVED her. The hair and make up turned out so awesome, and stayed all throughout the night of dancing and partying. Thank you Joann! I cannot recommend you enough! :)
I hired Joann as my make up artist with the assumption that being an Asian, she knows what's best for Asian brides. I'm one of those brides who were to busy to figure out what she ...
wanted to look like on her special day. I don't wear make up on daily basis, not at all! Joann came to hotel room on time and I still didn't know what I wanted. I just told her I like smokey eyes, that I wasn't entirely sure what would look good on me and that I trusted her judgement. She gave me a soft smokey eyes and it really complements my skin tone. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, thanks to Joann! My make up and hair do held well through out the day and so was my mom's make up and hair-do. I would absolutely recomment Joann to just about anybody :)
Joann and her team were amazing! They were calm, arrived early, completed hair and make-up for our entire bridal party in their allotted time and most importantly did a beautiful j...
ob! We got a ton of compliments from wedding guests and our hair and make-up stayed perfectly the whole night. I would highly recommend Pretty Please Hair and Make Up!
I loved the ladies at Pretty Please. They were so skilled and all of my bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law got their hair and make-up done with them. And they all looked bea...
utiful! The ladies were also patient and willing to re-do the make up when one of the girls were not 100% happy with the look.
I also did a trial with them, which I recommend to everyone. It really helps to achieve the look that you really want.
I love Joann and Pretty Please Hair and Makeup!!! From day one, Joann has been so nice and comforting to know that my bridesmaids and I will be in good hands. I left it up to Joann...
and Jadie to "make us pretty" and it exceeded our expectations. My airbrush make up lasted all day and my hair was still great after taking it down for the reception. They were very professional, on time, provided excellent service, and traveled to MS to take care of us. Joanne and Jadie even took care of my flower girl when I forgot to include her in my initial consultation. I cannot thank Joann and Jadie enough for beautifying the girls and I on my wedding day. I am so glad to have had them a part of my special day. I absolutely recommend Pretty Please for your bridal hair and makeup!!!
Joann and her team are amazing!! She and her sister are so professional, polite, pleasant, attentive, and understanding. They are also fast! They will make you look gorgeous! Their...
hair and make up skills are wonderful. I had a United Nations multicultural thing going on with my bridal party, and we all looked beautiful. Joann and her sister can make anyone look their best. I don't really wear make up and hate the feel of makeup, but their airbrush technique felt natural and lasted all day. Seriously, over 16 hours. (Probably could have lasted more, but I got sleepy.)
Joann and her crew did a wonderful job on me and all my bridesmaid. I loved my whole look she did for me. I would definitely recommend any brideto check her out. I just got hitche...

Joann was my girl from day one. I was afraid she'd be booked up for my wedding day, but she was able to fit us (5ppl) in for hair services in less than 3 hours on location. I never...
had to wait for correspondences over email - it's a tad difficult to plan a wedding in New Orleans from Chicago with no planner. Joann was so helpful and genuine and easy-going but extremely reliable and very professional and talented. I HIGHLY recommend her services and she does NOT disappoint.
I chose Joann with Pretty Please for my wedding because I wanted someone who can execute hair and makeup for an Asian bride with experience and confidence. What I didn't realize is...
that Joann and her team would make everyone in my bridal party gorgeous and radiant while accentuating their individual features. We are all of different ethnicities and everyone looked stunning! We had nine people altogether and the team worked carefully but efficiently to get us all ready in time. The Pretty Please team has unparalleled attention to detail and patience. They were all so pleasant to work with and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone looked and felt beautiful. They are unbelievably talented and I highly recommend them to everyone!
I found Joann on the knot and as an out of town bride I was nervous because you can only hope you have done your homework. I came to NOLA and only had one shot at a trial. The tr...
ial went well but there were things I wanted to change, but I would have to wait until the wedding day. BOY oh boy did she get it! Joanne made me look more beautiful than I could have hoped for. The hair was perfection and it stayed in all night. My airbrush makeup lasted all day/night even though I was sweating during pictures in the french quarter and I cried during the ceremony. People kept commenting on how beautiful my eye makeup was. I could not have been more pleased. I would also like to mention that the start time of the wedding makeup & hair changed and she rolled with the change. She changed some morning appointments around so that she could make an earlier start time for us. She really was lovely to work with. My only critique has nothing to do with her work - one of the hair girls that came with her did some hair of our bridal party and not all of my girls were satisfied but, I think if we had more time and if they spoke up that could have been fixed. Hire Joann at Pretty Please!!! You will not regret it!
I recently had my wedding on 10-4. Joann and her team were on time, professional, and did an amazing job! As the bride, I received so many compliments on my hair and make-up and ...
my pictures turned out beautiful! I highly recommend using Pretty Please! They were affordable and everything turned out better than I could imagine!
