Shelby did an amazing job not only doing hair and make up on my wedding party and family but also coordinating multiply stylists for it! I had about at people needing services and ...
she brought in three other stylists to help accomplish it all by the time needed! I would recommend her to anyone.
Shelby was amazing for my May 14th wedding! She saw my vision and was open to hearing about what I liked and disliked from the trial run. Me and my bridal party were ready and our ...
makeup and hair lasted all day. Forever grateful to have had such a smooth and easy experience on my wedding day. Even though she is not doing makeup anymore, I still highly recommend her!
From first contact to our trial to my wedding day.. Shelby was an absolutely blessing. She listened and nailed what we asked for first try. She was so sweet and fun to be around. S...
he did an amazing job with hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaid. Would highly recommend!
Shelby was such an AMAZING makeup and hair artist for my wedding. I booked a trial with her a year out from my wedding and I immediately knew she was perfect! She took my reference...
photo and did her magic. It was exactly how I wanted it! After the trial, I had some “corrections” I wanted done on the day of the wedding and it was perfect :) She was on time (made it to the venue even before me!!!) and made the getting process a breeze!
I highly highly recommend Shelby! ☺️
I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was that I found Shelby. First off, she is an amazing, hilarious person that I was so excited to have with me and my girls the morning of ...
the wedding. Second, Shelby is beyond talented. She had all my girls feeling so good and really took the time to listen to what each girl wanted done with their hair.
10/10 hire Shelby, you won’t regret it
Absolutely loved Shelby's work and her personality! Very chill vibe, which I appreciated. She did my hair and makeup as well as hair and makeup for 4 other women in the wedding pa...
rty. She kept everyone organized and kept us on schedule (I think we were all ready a little early which was great). I changed my mind a little bit between my trial and my wedding day and Shelby did exactly what I wanted and I'm so happy with how everything turned out.
Shelby did AMAZING!! I first found her back in December of 2020, in search of a hair and makeup stylist for our big day on 1/28/22. I LOVED the way the trial went, and immediately ...
booked her. I continued to keep going to her to throughout that year to get my hair done and I am planning on continuing going. On my wedding day her and the other stylist she had for our day were a perfect fit. They were able to understand everyone’s needs/wants and completed on time, along with being super chill. Shelby then came to the venue and did another set of makeup and hair, and also did touch ups for me. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day because of her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect makeup/hair artist!
Shelby is amazing at what she does. She’s truly an artist. I have zero fashion sense and Shelby basically looked at my hair and gave me inspiration on the various looks I could go ...
for. When I went for my trial hair day, I decided to go with Shelby as my go-to hair stylist since she was still open to taking clients! Of course, the wedding day was stressful and I forgot my hair extensions! It was no problem for Shelby. She started working and made me feel calm under pressure until we got the extensions. My hair never looked as fabulous as it did on my wedding day all thanks to Shelby!!
Shelby was amazing. I was able to bring in pictures of exactly what I wanted for my bridesmaids hair and makeup and she was able to give them exactly what I wanted. For myself I w...
as having a hard time deciding and she helped me figured out what I wanted. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and so did my now husband. Shelby was always quick to respond to my emails and was so helpful. It was a pleasure to have her there the day of, she was fun and helped keep us on track but still stress free. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone and everyone and she’ll be the first person I go to should I ever need to have my hair or makeup done again.
Shelby is fantastic! She did my makeup trial as well as my makeup on my wedding day. I decided on doing a different look from my trial, and it turned out perfect!
Shelby was amazing! She did hair and makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and my mom and mother in law. I absolutely loved how it all turned out! She did such an amazing job and reall...

Shelby was great! So responsive, flexible, punctual, fun and just a great vibe for my big day. Thank you so much Shelby!
Shelby is a down to earth person! It was so easy and comfortable to get dolled up by her. We just our wedding in June 2021, but when we booked Shelby it was back in 2020 during qu...
arantine. Because of this we were not sure how many people would need their hair done. But Shelby was absolutely awesome in being flexible till the very last minute. She made the whole process stress free and when it came to what I wanted, I was very indecisive. She helped guided me on what looked best for me! Absolutely loved Shelby and for keeping the whole process stress free!
Shelby was beyond awesome and I can't thank her enough! I started my trial by telling her I hated wearing makeup but I wanted to look my best on my wedding day. She rolled with it ...
and made me feel so beautiful while also feeling like myself. I had a group of 9 bridesmaids, my mom, my grandma, two flower girls, and myself and she managed to get everyone looking amazing and done in time. She's fun to be around and makes the morning stress-free and easy. I highly recommend!
If I could give Shelby MORE than 5 stars I would. She did hair and make-up for my wedding for me, 2 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids. We are white, black, Asian and mixed and S...
helby was able to give all of us the looks we were hoping for. She was honest about areas she had less experience in but willing to spend extra time during the trial to make sure she was getting the look right - this self awareness and honesty is hard to come by! In addition to being an excellent stylist, she was a calm presence during the wedding chaos itself. Our wedding planner was less than stellar the day of (and actually ended up leaving early without telling us!) - Shelby was around because we kept her for makeup touch ups after the ceremony and before pictures. She went above and beyond helping with tasks that the coordinator should have been doing, but never missing a beat with her primary role. This kind of above and beyond service is VERY hard to come by! I could not recommend her more… THANK YOU Shelby for all of your support during our big day!
Shelby was amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in June 2021 and I loved both! She also did hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law and every...

Shelby is such a pleasure to be around and very professional. There was never a dull or awkward moment while she did my hair and makeup for a relatives wedding and did such a fabul...
ous job, I received so many compliments. She is communicative and was fast with responding back to my emails and questions before my appointment. She was even able to get me in early so I could be ready on-time for the out of town wedding. Shelby was great working with my curly hair and gave me the polished look I was going for. She also color matched me to the makeup perfectly; it was flawless and looked natural. I will definitely be seeing her again for future upcoming events and recommend others to book an appointment with her for their next event. Thank you so much Shelby for dolling me up!
Shelby was amazing from the very first interaction I had with her through email. I'm not from the San Diego area so trying to find a hair stylist for my wedding day was a little s...
tressful at first. I am forever thankful I found Shelby. She was so quick to reply to my inquiry email. I booked my bridal hair trial with her and instantly knew I need to book her for my big day. The whole booking process was easy!! Shelby provided hair services for my bridal party, mom and myself. She did a wonderful job on all of our hairstyles.. they lasted the whole night! HIGHLY recommend Shelby for any hair services.
Shelby is the best! I found her website on Google. I was married in a county far away from the one I live in, so I was looking for someone reliable and talented enough to handle my...
wedding without doing a trial. She has really awesome communication skills and is so friendly. The first time I called, she didn’t answer so I left a message. Within 5 minutes, she had texted me saying she was with a client but had listened to my message and would call me soon. That’s when I knew her customer service would be 10/10. As for my wedding day, she did mine (the bride) and my maid of honors hair and makeup. She also did my mom’s makeup which was added on super last minute, but Shelby was so sweet and accommodating about it. Her prices are great and the EYE MAKEUP IS WOW!!!!! My face ended up looking super natural (which I wanted) and I got tons of compliments on my hair. She was also just really cool to have around. My bridal party was all hanging around since we had Shelby come to our rental house instead of the venue. She was super friendly and talkative and if felt like we were all just hanging out. Hire Shelby if you know what’s good for you!
