I was in Pittsburg from OC for the first time for my nephew’s wedding. I needed a makeup artist and didn’t have much time for research. Came across Shelby and booked her right away. She didn’t take any deposit which to be honest made me nervo...
us since we communicated through texting only and I was calming myself by telling myself not to expect much. Well I was pleasantly surprised - she came in with a friend, Rachel and they both were absolutely great. I know what I want and I am very specific. Shelby listened to as to how I wanted my hair and makeup done. She created the exact image I had in my mind. Rachel went out of her way to help me mend my daughter’s dress . ( This was certainly not in her job description)!! Needless to say they both win you over with their personalities, great patience and beautiful smiles and I can’t emphasise enough how talented Shelby is. She definitely is very creative and has magical hands to make one look their best and more! My daughter and sister were extremely grateful to me for finding her because she did their hair and makeup as well. I think her company name should be “ Saved by Shelby”.

Not only did she do 8 people’s hair with such craft in record speeds, but she also did my makeup so flawlessly and took the time to explain to my MOH the best ways to put my cathedral length veil in. If you are looking for someone who is team bride, is kind enough to share makeup spray and Bobby pins, and is unstoppable because she can make your dream look come true all on her own…Shelby is your girl! I have zero regrets about booking with her and can’t thank her enough for helping to make my day so special.

But, she was on time that day and my hair looked great so I can't complain!

to us on-site and was so lovely and fun to work with despite the time of day. She is so dedicated and so detailed, you can really tell while she's working that she is paying attention to every little thing to make sure it's up to her standards of perfection. I have never in my life felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and that's thanks to Shelby. She is truly a talented artist and puts her all into her work - she was also available whenever I had questions before the wedding. On top of that, my hair and makeup held up through the entire day despite all the heat and running around and dancing. She provides the best service you could ever ask for (and the price for her services is extremely fair), and I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is searching for the ideal artist to make them look and feel their best on the most important day of their life.

Shelby drove to my ridiculously stupid far wedding destination and blew me away with the most absolute dream worthy hair imaginable. She even arrived a little earlier than planned which was awesome as it ended up really helping me speed along with the other things in my timeline.

se nerves by answering questions, looking at pictures I couldn't decide on and texting me encouraging words during the week of the wedding. I had five bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law and two of my husbands little cousin get their hair and makeup done on the day of my wedding. Shelby brought one helper and showed up right on time. She was diligent and able to take an picture and replicate it perfectly. She used airbrush makeup that didn't smear during the summer heat, and did subtle make up perfectly on my sister who normally does not wear makeup. She finished everyone within three hours! My hair stayed through the wind, humidity, and sweat without having to reapply hairspray all the time! No makeup didn't smear or smudge during the tears. I got so many compliments on my hair throughout the day! I would recommend Shelby and her team to anyone getting married!

a godsend because i needed to negotiate the price as i had more people than expected, which she was more than understanding of. She was very fast, professional, prompt, and amazing at the hair and makeup she applied to my party and i. My hair and makeup, along with the entire party lasted the entire day. Even thru all the crying, laughing, and overall anxiety of my happy day, everything lasted incredibly. After the day of the wedding, Shelby personally reached out to me to make sure of how everything lasted and how my day went. I wasnt expecting her to be so caring in her clients, and will surely be recommending her to everyone i know who might be considering professional hair or makeup.

She arrived on time with an entire suitcase of product, she only needed the time we scheduled, and cleaned up spotlessly before she left. Shelby was almost the most reasonably priced beautician I found on the market. She was willing to work with me and my budget to get us exactly what we wanted and even more beautiful than we expected. I absolutely recommend Shelby Shear Metal! She is fantastic!

Im sure its not normal for the majority of Makeup artists or stylists to not only get an appointment for each person whos getting married but let alone two men ! me and my partner got married in the middle of May, we planned everything super la...
st minute and Shelby made sure everything went perfectly with our timeline even tho she had another wedding before and after us! we booked a grooms package which is , a MAN-icure (Basically a nice scrub massage it smelled really good !), she washed and "styled" our hair (the little hair we have!) and wash\massaged our faces. she also trimmed and lined up our Facial hair, then filled it in. i was really weary about that but it really turned out great in photos! my now husband got correct makeup due to his under-eyes and scaring on his face and it looked like he was wearing NOTHING. we honestly couldnt have been happier with her services. we would recommend her to everyone !

I met with shelby for my pre wedding makeup & hair trial and was not disappointed! Since then I have had her do my hair and makeup for my wedding and bridal shower and a seperate time for my party. I can not say it enough she is the best!! Ever...
y time she has exceeded my expectations. She is affordable, always on time, and makes you look and feel absolutely beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, or any event you want yo look and feel beautiful. You go to anyone else & you are doing yourself a disservice! She is always on time!!! She is down to earth, warm & friendly and makes you feel completely at ease on any stressful day. I had no doubts on my wedding day i would look stunning because of Shelby. She continues to exceed my expectations!.

Shelby was a dream to work with. She kept in touch throughout the planning process to make sure we were always on the same page. I had talked to several other hair and makeup people before finally finding her, and none of them went out of their...
way to follow up with me. I liked that she took initiative. For the trial run, I gave Shelby an idea of what I wanted and she produced the exact hairstyle I had in mind and I hadn't even shown her a picture yet. On the wedding day, Shelby and her assistant, Michelle, arrived on time and were very friendly and fun to work with. Even with a mishap of misplaced bobby pins, the two of them put the bridal party at ease and Michelle ran out to buy more. They gave us hair and makeup that was perfect for the venue and the look I was going for. I couldn't have asked for better service or a more reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Shear Metal Beauty for wedding hair and makeup.

Amazing. Just amazing. Shelby was not only professional, she was relaxed, funny, sweet and helpful. Listen - on the morning of you wedding, you are so nervous and stressed, the last thing you need is your stylist being aloof or distant. You ...
want someone who can come into whatever situation/space there is and not only fit in, but make the atmosphere happier and more peaceful. Shelby does this naturally. She felt like one of the girls. People were coming in and out of the room all morning, minor crises arose, kids were running about, and Shelby rolled with it and enjoyed it genuinely. The hairstyles were unreal. With very little direction, Shelby did wonders. Not only were the styles beautiful, they were matched perfectly to compliment face shapes, and also to pair with the dress styles. My bridesmaids looked incredible. It was a super windy day but, amazingly, even when the styles got tousled, they still looked gorgeous. She finished my hair, and I asked for a little more body on the sides, and she did it without any problem in just a couple of minutes. My makeup was divine, doing exactly what it should do - enhance the good parts and soften the bad. My skin looked radiant, and it stayed on through the ceremony and TWO receptions. Thank you, Shelby. You made sure I felt beautiful on a once-in-a-lifetime day, and you were a pleasure to have with me on that crazy morning.

We booked Shelby at the last minute and since we got married on a Friday, she was available. Beyond being perfectly on time and friendly, Shelby was very calm and helpful. We were getting ready on location so there was a bit of chaos around us,...
but Shelby made getting our hair done a calming experience. She was also very flexible when someone was late to their appointment and let us squeeze a flower girl in for an impromptu up-do! Thanks so much Shelby!

Shelbi and her assistant were an absolute pleasure to work with. They did both hair and makeup for myself (bride), mother of bride, mother in law, and 5 bridesmaids. Every single one of them was very happy with their look, and all remarked how ...
seamless getting ready was because of them. They were not only extremely pleasant but also very professional and punctual. I would HIGHLY recommend Shelbi to anyone, she is a real gem with real talent.
