Rachel did an amazing job for the hair/makeup for my wedding. I loved my bridal hair/makeup and she really spent time incorporating my wants and personality into the final look. I was a little nervous b/c my bridesmaids were a very multiethnic ...
group with different skin tones and hair textures. But Rachel is such a pro and did a beautiful job on everyone. Rachel and her team are truly talented. I highly recommend her for anybody's wedding.
Rachel was the absolute best and I could not have wished for a better HMUA for my elopement! I had never had my hair or makeup done before, and didn't want to risk trying to do it myself on my wedding day. I knew that I likely wouldn't be abl...
e to do a trial since we were coming in from out of state, so I was pretty nervous, but after the first meeting with Rachel I felt so much more at ease! She very clearly explained the whole process to me, with all the kinds of products they used and why, and how everything would be able to stay in place the whole day. I'd had a couple of other calls with HMUAs before this one, but Rachel was different! I could tell that she really listened to my concerns and helped me feel reassured.
On the day of, Rachel was so positive, professional, and friendly while she got everything set up and did my hair and makeup. She was very easy to talk to, and again I felt that she really listened to exactly what kind of look I was hoping to achieve. I absolutely loved the final result, and could not have been happier with how everything looked in our photos especially!
Don't hesitate to go with Wise Artistry if you're looking to get your hair and makeup done -- I'm so happy I got to work with Rachel, and would recommend her to everyone!
Dawn with Wise Artistry did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was wonderful! She was skilled, efficient, listened to my requests, and was so friendly! My hair and makeup looked amazing and lasted all night!
Rachel was incredible and responsive, she explained all of the details of her services and responded to every email and question I had in a timely fashion. Mayra was absolutely amazing. She made my vision come to life. Her makeup and hair skill...

Rachel was AMAZING! I cannot say enough nice things about her. She did an amazing job on my hair (tousled up-do) and makeup and was super flexible with time. I had my trial the day before my wedding (night of our rehearsal dinner) and she was a...

professional, friendly and did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them.
Using Rachel and her team for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding hair and makeup was one of the very best decisions I made! Rachel is so genuine and kind and extremely easy to talk to. The trial process was amazing and I felt like Rachel hear...
d exactly what I was thinking and offered professional suggestions and alterations to make it perfect. Rachel helped create a look for my rehearsal that was so fun and spunky to match my outfit and my wedding hair and makeup was so flawless and timeless. The makeup and hair photographed amazing and I still can't get over how awesome Rachel is. In the past when I have had my makeup professionally done it has looked really cakey and unnatural and Rachel's style is so far from that. I felt like I still looked like myself and never felt like I had a ton of makeup on. My bridesmaids, mom and mother in law also loved their hair and makeup done by Rachel's team. They all made similar comments that they have previously had bad experiences with professional makeup and everyone was obsessed with how natural and amazing it looked this time around. Thank you Rachel and team! You are AMAZING!
When my husband and I decided to elope on the 4th of July, I was certain I’d have to do my own hair and makeup. I didn’t think anyone would be available on a holiday on short notice.
I found Wise Artistry via the Knot, and after speaking with...
Rachel was both relieved and excited to learn that they could accommodate me on my special day.
We finalized the start time as we got closer to the date. On the big day, the team arrived at my home early, as promised, set up quickly, and were so sweet and easy to work with. They worked on my hair and makeup at the same time and did a gorgeous job at both. It lasted all day and looked stunning in our photos.
I’m so thankful to Wise Artistry for being flexible and for making me feel so beautiful and our day extra special.
Wise Artistry was great! I highly recommend doing the makeup trial, my artist was really patient and we tried multiple different eye makeup styles and hair makeup styles until we found the right one. I am very happy with the results! I got tons...
of compliments on it during the wedding. Staff was super friendly as well. One complaint is that they were not as responsive during planning, sometimes taking weeks to respond, but, it's a smaller company and it all came together in the end, I'm just a planner!
Rachel and her team were wonderful to work with. From my initial phone call with Rachel, all the way to my wedding day, I felt like I was in great hands. Mariel was absolutely amazing -- she was so attentive and went above and beyond to ensure ...
that my hair and makeup looked exactly how I wanted for my big day. Highly recommended!

ve for a total of 12 people who needed HMU services. One of the girls seemed newer and two of my bridesmaids did not like their hair with her and had to be adjusted by someone else.

myself and keep all my hair in place all day was critical. Rachel delivered on everything I could have wanted an more. She and her team were wonderful on the day of and my bridesmaids were so complimentary. They were thrilled with how they looked and found Rachel and her team to be fun and easy to talk to. As the day progressed, our hair and makeup continued to look great all night - even after starting the ceremony in an afternoon rain storm. What's more, we found Wise Artistry to be unbelievable affordable - particularly for traveling to Estes Park and doing such an incredible job. I cannot recommend Wise Artistry highly enough - you won't be disappointed!
Rachel and her team were incredible. I planned our small Colorado wedding from Texas and was having trouble finding someone to do our hair and makeup until I contacted Rachel. She was extremely responsive via email and phone, was very patient w...

I originally found Rachel via recommendations of neighbors when starting the arduous wedding vendor search. I had my trial run right before the start of CV-19 (which she graciously scheduled before my engagement photos - which turned out perfec...
t AND gave me a chance to see how the makeup would hold up through some light hiking and photos). Her flexibility when I had to push out my wedding date over a year was so so appreciated and made being a 2020 bride so much less stressful. Fast forward to June 20th, 2021 and Rachel and her team did an absolutely flawless job on my own, my bridesmaids, and the mothers hair and makeup. We had a diverse group of bridesmaids that were looking for a variety of different hair styles and makeup looks. The individual lashes, lip stains, quality of makeup and face prep were also really nice touches (and addition to the teams incredible professionalism and calming demeanor). Our makeup and hair looked flawless from the early morning to past midnight and held up in the winds of Estes Park. Can't recommend enough!!!
My husband and I eloped from Texas to Colorado and stayed in an Airbnb. Rachel traveled to my location to do my hair and makeup before our intimate, personal ceremony and she did an amazing job! She communicated with me up until the date and ha...

Rachel was even able to accomodate all of the changes once COVID hit. Highly recommended.
