Jess was the make up artist and hairstylist for my two daughters and for myself (bride, sister of the bride, and mother of the bride) and exceeded all of our expectations. Jess arrived promptly to the wedding venue and was ready for us when we arrived. She communicated with us prior to the wedding and listened carefully to our wishes and she made all of our dreams come true. Jess is a true artist, and calmed us down on a day that could have been very stressful. I could not have hoped for a better professional for my daughter’s wedding!
I cannot recommend Simply Stunning Artistry enough! I first met Jess when she did the hair and makeup for my sister's wedding 7 years ago. She obviously made an impression since she was the first and only H&MUA I called for my own wedding.
Jessica was professional, communicative, and so much fun to work with throughout the entire process. We did a trial prior to the wedding day and even though I know nothing about hair or makeup she was able to capture what I envisioned. At her recommendation I got extensions for my wedding day, but even at the trial she was able to transform my sad thin hair into beautiful Hollywood waves.
Day of, Jessica and Heather (the second artist she found for us to get everything done in a timely manner) were a dream team and were very kind and patient with our *ahem* less than easy family members. Everyone looked absolutely stunning and everyone's hair and makeup stayed intact all night! It's the best I've ever looked and very likely the best I'll look for the foreseeable future. You can't go wrong here, I very highly recommend!
Jess was awesome! Not only did she do an amazing job on my hair and make-up but she was also affordable. On top of her professionalism and quality of work, she was personable and nice as well! I am still in awe of her capability to take my mass of hair and turn it into a gorgeous updo 😍 Thank you so much Jess!
Jess was amazing she from the time I booked her to leading up to our wedding day! She always got back to me in a timely manner was super easy to work with made us all feel very comfortable and left us all looking beautiful I definitely recommend booking her for your big day I truly believe she’s the best at what she does and you won’t be disappointed!
I found Jess through The Knot. I reached out and she was very quick to respond. Jess was able to fit my needs perfectly and did a preview for me of my hair and makeup, which I loved. Then, she was on point and perfectly on time for the wedding day. Jess worked with my requests and we had a blast chatting before my special day! She was lovely, and her work was exquisite. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup from friends and family. Thank you Jess! I would highly recommend Simply Stunning Artistry and Jess for any special day or wedding! Very happy with her work!
I recommend Simply Stunning Artistry! Jess was professional, kind, and lovely to work with. My dream for wedding hair and makeup was to look like myself on my most gorgeous day-- in other words, professional makeup that accentuated natural features without making me look like a doll, and an organic hairstyle that worked with my natural curls. Jess carried it out beautifully. She chose a great color pallette and my hair and makeup withstood 100 degree weather and many tears of joy! Things did not fade until the sweaty dance floor, 7 hours after application (even then, my eye makeup looked good). Jess also rolled with week-of changes to how we would do my hair and adding services for my mom. My only recommendation is to leave a little time buffer, as we ran about 30 minutes behind our original plan (partly due to a change in how we pinned my hair). Hire Jess!
Jess was absolutely amazing from my bridal preview before my engagement photos to my actual wedding day. There were a few things I wanted to change up from my test run to the wedding day and she was super amendable and helpful! The day of she brought a second artist since we had 6 girls getting their hair and makeup done. They drove down to Temecula and were ready bright and early and moved through the schedule pretty quickly. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup! Jess made me look and feel amazing! The curls were perfect and romantic and my makeup was spot on! I would absolutely recommended her to anyone getting married or even a special event!
Absolute perfection! I came to see Jess for a makeup trial last year when I had scheduled my engagement photo shoot and I knew right away that I had to book her for my wedding as well! I never felt more glamorous. Jess is so easy to work with, she knew exactly what I was looking for and my makeup LASTED throughout my entire event! Thank you Jessica for making me look and feel so beautiful on my special day!!!
Choosing Jess as my wedding hairstylist was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding ! She is patient and definitely understood my vision during my hair trial. On the day of my wedding my hair looked like I just woke up and somehow, Jess was able to transform it to something beautiful! If you’re looking for a stylist, stop stressing and hire her! You won’t regret it !! Also, my hair was intact the whole night and I was dancing like there was no tomorrow ! It held up without being painful !
Jess is awesome! She was very responsive during the whole process leading up to my wedding day, anytime I had questions I could text her and she replied very fast! I let her know what I wanted to look like and what my concerns were and she did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I loved my look on my wedding day! My bridesmaids were happy with their hair and makeup too. Stephanie was the stylist for some of my bridesmaids and they loved their look! I highly recommend Jess for hair and makeup.
I was lucky to find Jess and even more lucky that she was available as my wedding was less than two months away. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. It help up through very hot temperature and my makeup did not budge, even from some tears and sweat. I loved my hair so much, I didn't want to brush it out. Jess is truly talented and a skilled makeup and hair artist.
Jess and her team did such an amazing job! They were very accommodating when some of our circumstances changed. My girls looked so beautiful and they made the day so much fun! I would definitely use them again in the future!
Jess is wonderful to work with! She is detail-oriented and really listens to her clients. She is capable of a variety of different styles, and perfectly tailored her work to match my needs and wants. Not only that, but she is able to overcome obstacles with ease! My hair doesn't take a curl easily, but she found a way to make it work and the style lasted all evening. I have acne-prone skin, and was was able to cover even my most fickle spots easily. She did a great job!
She also did the hair and makeup of my mother, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law, and, once again, was able to adjust her techniques to match the needs of all the ladies, regardless of personal style preference or hair/skin texture. She is an incredibly versatile and talented artist. I was very happy to work with her, and would definitely suggest booking her!
Jess was amazing. Her attention to detail was spectacular. I had a vision of what I wanted for hair and makeup for my wedding. I told her and showed her photos and she absolutely delivered. My biggest thing was to have glam but not be obnoxious or over the top because I don’t wear makeup on an everyday basis. I told her I still wanted to look myself but “done up” and she totally delivered. Jessica is your to go girl! She does both hair and makeup and both are equally outstanding. Plus her team was great as well.
Wonderful to work with. Professional, organized and listened to everything that I was wanting for the big day! Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful on that important day!
Jess was amazing from the time I did my makeup and hair trial! I’m not one to wear much makeup, so Jess explained every little thing along the way to make sure everything was turning out exactly the way I wanted it to.
And let me tell you.. On my wedding day I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and makeup. Jess and her team did a phenomenal job. All my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning too! I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Jess for everything!
We loved working with Jess. From the trial to our wedding day, she was very communicative & profesional. She did both our hair & makeup. We got so many compliments from everyone. You will not be disappointed if you book Jess!
Jessica, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making my wedding day so special. On the day of my makeup trail you made me feel so welcome and comfortable. When I was unsure of something you were very patient with me and gave me good suggestions. On my wedding day you not only did an amazing job on me,but you co-workers did an amazing job on my friends and family. Jessica I also wanted to say thank you for putting a smile on my mother's face it's rare that she get this pampered and you made her feel so special that day . I will be forever be grateful the smile you put on her face. Thank you Pam
Jess was so amazing! She stayed in communication with me often and created a schedule of makeup and hair times to stay organized. My makeup lasted way until the end of the night and I received many compliments about my hair. I will definitely keep Jessica at mind for future occasions. My bridesmaids loved their makeup as well and had no complaints. Wishing Jessica the best in her endeavors!
Jess is an amazing make-up and hair artist. I was able to do a trial session prior to my wedding date. She was very accommodating and listened to what I wanted for my day.. I was absolutely blown away by the results of both hair and make-up. I loved my look on my wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing professional make up and hair.
Jess was awesome! I had wanted to have an updo for my ceremony and then half down for the reception and she was able to work her magic and made it happen! She was very pleasant to work with and easy to talk to. Loved my makeup as well! During my trial she really took the time to try different eyeshadows to help me decide what I wanted. Highly recommended!!
Honestly Jess is the best!!! She definitely will help you look so beautiful for your event. I hired her for my wedding I remember last minute I didn’t like the foundation we had tried on my make up trial, so she went and bought a new one that was perfect! She is honestly so good!
Jessica is amazing! I have really bad acne scars and was so worried I was going to look so bad in my sisters wedding pictures. But Jessica made my skin look flawless and I got many compliments that day thanks to Jessica. Highly Recommend!
Jess is amazing! She did hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. From the trial to the day itself, Jess made us all feel comfortable and relaxed, she gave us exactly what we asked for and made us all look and feel like the best versions of ourself.
The products she used were great quality and out makeup lasted all day and looked fantastic! She is also very professional, she responded to all questions I had quickly and did an amazing job sticking to the timeline. I thoroughly recommend her for anyone looking for bridal makeup.
I found Jess thru The Knot. She had great reviews so I reached out to her. She is very professional as she responded to every question I had in a timely fashion. She did both my engagement and wedding makeup and hair. I absolutely loved my look on my wedding day. I got so many compliments from my guest but most importantly my now husband said I looked gorgeous and stunning while at the alter. I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Jess also did my two daughters hair and makeup, they looked beautiful. Thank you Jess, your work is the best!
I contacted Jess through a friend's recommendation to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. Jess worked with me to find additional stylists that would do make up and hair for my entire wedding party.
I ran out of time to do a trial so I just showed Jess what I wanted and she made my vision come alive! I loved my old Hollywood Waves and natural makeup with a touch of glam.
My bridal party looked amazing and my makeup and hair stayed together all night long. Her pricing is also very responsible.
10/10 would recommend Jess and her team!
The absolute best hair I have ever had in my life and it was for my wedding!!! My expectations were just exceeded. I don’t have much hair and its the shorter side but I always wanted a full long hair style for my wedding. Jess told me I would need extensions for the look I wanted. I had never used extensions but was so excited. I took them to my trial and was blown away by how great my hair looked. It was better than the inspo picture . Our wedding was supposed to be 03/05/21 but due to covid we postponed to 07/11/21. Jess was so helpful and responded quickly when we had to change the date. I can only imagine how hard this time has been for vendors with so many people changing dates. On the wedding date my bridesmaids and my mom were so happy with their hair. Her work speaks for itself but what makes a bride want to write a review is her amazing attitude. So kind and helpful! Thank You so much for all you did to make me, my mom, and my girls looks so beautiful on my wedding!
Jess is amazing! I was a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding and she was wonderful. She was professional, on time and extremely prepared and so sweet!. I've been in 4 weddings and this was my favorite experience, my hair and makeup was exactly how I wanted it, definitely on point! We all looked and felt so beautiful. A few days prior to the wedding she sent us a schedule with time breakdown for the bridal party along with very helpful and detailed preparation information. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed!
Jessica was amazing. I went to her first for my hair trial for my wedding and was super happy. I chose to book Jessica because of her fair price and her pictures looked good. If you tell her what you want, she will do as you say. For my wedding she did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I would recommend using her! Because of the time frame we needed to be ready for my photographer and the amount of bridesmaids I had, Jessica needed to bring 2 other stylists with her. They both did a great job and were profession. Highly recommend using simply stunning Artisty for your next hair and makeup event!
I hired Jessica to do my hair and 6 others the morning on my wedding. It was a bright and early start time but Jessica was there right on time and ready to go! I am so appreciative of her flexibility in the change of locations due to a last minute change in venue. Thank you Jessica, we all loved our hair!
My husband and I had to reschedule our reception initially due to Covid-19 closures. We then decided to cancel the reception since we were able to have a small ceremony with those closest to us. Because we didn't get the chance to have professional photos taken of us during our ceremony, we decided to have a separate photoshoot as husband and wife. Jessica was so awesome to work with the entire time! She was willing to work with me both times that I had to reschedule. Her work is amazing!! I was beyond pleased with how my hair and makeup looked for our photoshoot! I highly highly recommend her for your big day!!
Jess is the best! From the trial all the way to the wedding day she was there to answer any questions I had, made me look incredible on the day of! Our wedding was outside on the windiest day possible in southern CA , but my hair stayed out and looked amazing, my makeup lasted the whole night! Even kept up after cake getting smashed in my face. If your looking for an extremely talented, dedicated, and kind person to help you achieve your wedding day look, Jess is the right woman!
Jess was amazing to work with. I never do my hair and only wear makeup for special occasions. She did my hair and makeup as well as my moms for my wedding this year, which was postponed due to covid and she was great to work with the entire time. I have very sensitive skin and she came to the makeup store with me to patch test and choose colors as I wanted to build a makeup bag of my own. Jess was amazing to work with and I loved how everything came out on my big day!
I could not recommend Jessica enough! Her talent is amazing, she’s so sweet, and was so easy to work with. She did all my bridesmaids and in laws and I seriously felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my entire life! Thank you for making me a beautiful bride!
Jessica did such an amazing job on Kelsea’s bridal party. All of our makeup looks impeccable and she did it in such good time!
The best makeup I have ever had for an event!! She is so sweet and so flexible! I absolutely recommend!
Jess did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it all turned out amazing! I showed her some pictures to give her an idea of what I wanted, but when we did my test run she helped me come up with a look even better than I imagined. She even helped me combine a couple different clips to create a unique hair piece. I loved working with her and she helped me feel beautiful on my wedding day.
Best make up artist. So professional. Highly recommend
Jess and her team did an amazing job with the hair and makeup for myself and my 5 bridesmaids! She was extremely professional, arriving on time and getting us all ready by the time discussed. We looked amazing all night!
I love what Jess did with my makeup! She gave me the more natural look I was wanting while still helping me look my best. I have a good amount of fine lines and she did a great job covering those up. I also loved how professional she was.. she was on time and came fully prepared. I highly recommend!!
Jess did amazing work!! Both my wife and I sent her pics of what we wanted for our wedding day and she did not disappoint! We had numerous compliments of how beautiful we both looked and yet we didn’t feel like the makeup was caked on or that we didn’t look like ourselves. Jess has a good eye and is able to enhance what you have!
Words are not enough to describe how grateful I am to have met someone as artistic and as comfortable to work with as Jessica and her team. Last Saturday was even more memorable not only because it was our anniversary/ wedding, more so because we all looked great with her magical hands. We stayed fresh the whole time and we are very happy to recommend Jessica and her team. Very professional, they know what to do and how to do stuff that would make their clients extraordinarily pretty and happy.
God bless Jessica and team! To all Bride-to-be's, no need to hesitate. Call her up right now to book her on your special day.
I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Jessica!
Throughout the wedding planning process she was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions.
The day of the wedding she arrived right on time to my mom’s AirBNB where we were getting ready and had an impressive set up and spread of high-end makeup brands and variety of choices to make sure I looked amazing on the big day. She did me, my sister, and my mom, and then my friend who was there with us decided last minute she wanted her makeup done too because of how amazing ours turned out! Jessica was super nice and accommodating. My sister is very particular about her eyebrows and she said Jessica was the only makeup artist who has ever done her eyebrows right (and she’s been in A LOT of weddings and had her makeup done many times).
I felt confident and beautiful, and my makeup was exactly what I envisioned. It lasted all night, through sweating during pictures, dancing the night away, AND the after party. Overall, I would highly recommend Jessica, she was on time, prepared, fairly priced, and such a nice person who makes you feel totally comfortable. Thanks for being part of our big day, Jessica!
Jess was an absolute joy to have do my makeup. I had discovered her on yelp and she wrote me back within a day with reasonable prices and she was willing to come to me. After reading her other reviews I decided to use her. I had never got my makeup professionally done before and I was taking my engagment pictures. Jess even was willing to switch her schedule around for me when my photographer had to reschedule last minute. The day of the pictures she was on time and got started right away. She did a wonderful job of making sure I was comfortable and asking me what I wanted. I HIGHLY recommend using her for any makeup needs. I p
Jessica was simply great! That day can be very hectic but she kept me at ease when it came to my make up for my wedding day. There was a trial session to test the look and then wedding day it turned out even better then the trial session. I also had a really bad tan from doing yard work and my dress was open back and she was nice enough to blend some make up in to try to make my back look like one shade. She was just great and easy to work with which is what a bride needs on her wedding day with so many other things going on.
Jess did an absolutely incredible job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! We planned our wedding from Arizona so I wasn't able to do a trial run with her, which would make any bride nervous, but Jess went above and beyond my expectations! She was so sweet during the booking process, even though I probably sent her more inspiration photos than needed! :) She did both hair and makeup for myself and my now mother in law, who said she's never felt more beautiful!! And I have to agree with that!! Thank you so much Jess, you were so fun to work with and I am constantly getting compliments on my hair from our wedding photos!!
Jessica is amazing at her makeup art. She did my face and covered a tattoo on my wrist for our wedding. I didn’t see one flaw the rest of the night. She even put on false lashes for no extra charge, so that my little eyes would show up. She also did makeup for the rest of my family and bridesmaids. I now have these beautiful photos from our special day. Thanks Jessica.
Jessica truly creates what her company name is, “Simply Stunning” work. She creates beautiful artistry without using a ton of makeup, she just enhances beauty.
When I was 18, I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot where Jessica was my MUA & Hair stylist. Her work was so incredible I knew that I wanted to hire her for my future wedding.
10 years later, I met the man of my dreams and I knew exactly who I wanted to hire to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day.... Jessica.
Jessica knows how to do makeup and hair that caters to the individual. There is truly no one size fits all. Everyone needs to enhance difference features.
I have ne felt so incredibly beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I hope I have the opportunity to hire her again.
Jessica did an amazing job on my make-up for my wedding. I usually don't like getting my make-up done, but her results were absolutely perfect! She did such a great job I also asked her to do our make-up again when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding. I always recommend her! 🥰
Jenn was so nice and pleasant to work with. During the make up trial she made sure the make up was exactly how I wanted to look like on my wedding day. She is very patient and flexible. I love that Jenn makes you feel comfortable and relax during the whole make up process. My sisters and mom also got their make up done and loved it! She did a great job with the false eyelashes. It looked very natural. Thank you Jenn for making me look so pretty on my special day!
