Mel was absolutely amazing. On time, professional, so kind and so much fun. She listened to your vision and has a gift of bringing it to life. I have never felt more beautiful than I did yesterday on my wedding day. Thank you for absolutely everything!!!

Mel did an incredible job on my hair and makeup for family/maternity photos. She took the time to think through things/ask questions like how I normally style my hair and makeup, and the location and style/aesthetic for the shoot so that her selections would work best for the setting and still look natural. She even looked at photos from our photographer to get an idea of her editing/style as well. My hair and makeup looked great, even after several hours and being outside in warmer weather, and the photos turned out perfect!

I had the BEST experience with Mel!! She did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She was attentive throughout the process and talked me through every step along the way. Highly recommend booking with her!!

Mel did an amazing job on my makeup for a wedding—I truly felt so beautiful! She was so flexible with timing and made the whole appointment feel relaxed, fun, and special. Her attention to detail and warm personality made the experience even better. I can’t recommend her enough! 💕✨

Mel did an awesome job on my makeup for my maternity photos. She listened well when asking for more of a natural look! Was very easy going and professional which made it a great experience. I appreciate that she was able to get me in on a Sunday which was hard to find. Also, gave me a beautiful curl in my hair along with flawless makeup. My pictures were outside and my makeup stayed strong through it all even in the heat! Would recommend Mel if you want to look beautiful for a special event!
