Rowela was absolutely incredible from talking to me in the first zoom session and helping me decide on a makeup look/know what to expect with the skin care and makeup on the wedding day, as well as the look preview which was included in the package and giving input on any questions or ideas I had in detail via email every step of the way. She took any feedback I had to create the makeup look I wanted. She was so kind, patient and courteous and helped me relax so much on my wedding day. The final look was absolutely stunning and complemented my features perfectly. My MIL and SIL also had hair and makeup done by her and we were all so happy with how it turned out.
Rowela was professional, adaptive, and created looks that exceeded my expectations. I’ve hired her to do my hair and makeup as a bridesmaid for a friend’s wedding as well as both of my wedding ceremonies and the quality was superb every time. I still look at my wedding pictures and can't believe how gorgeous my hair and makeup looked. Rowela was able to make my hair accessories work and my face look glowing without looking shiny. I was impressed with how she was able to match my skin tone perfectly.
Wedding planning can be stressful, so I appreciate that hair and makeup were things I didn't have to stress about. She gained my trust from beginning to end because of her professionalism, confidence, and communication skills. I really appreciate her and so thankful that she was part of my special day.

Hi, I'm Ro! I love learning new things and collecting hobbies. Some of my favorites are drawing, reading (especially cozy fantasies), singing, and weight lifting. Professionally, I am a licensed cosmetologist since 2011. I began doing wedding makeup in 2014 in a salon in Springfield, Illinois. I also offered esthetic services like facial and body waxing, facials, lash and brow tinting, and lash lifts and tints. I started doing wedding updos in 2022 and I love collaborating with people on their wedding looks and helping them feel incredible inside and out.
