Ashlyn did the best job for my wedding hair and makeup and for my bridesmaids' makeup!
My hair and makeup stayed intact all day and all night and looked fantastic for photos! I would not have had anyone else for my wedding hair and makeup and I would highly recommend her services.

10/10 would recommend Ashlyn for any special event.
I had hired her to do hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids and mother of bride and groom and EVERYONE looked absolutely stunning. They all showed her their goals for hair and makeup and her and her team nailed every single look. Our hair and makeup lasted all day despite the July heat (and tears on my end) and I felt truly stunning and flawless. Even organizing everything leading up to the day and planning everything out was seamless and effortless - she was quick to respond to emails and give suggestions or alternatives. She truly went above and beyond and I’m so grateful for everything she did. She truly is such a pleasure to work with and so talented. I definitely will be using her again for any future services I may need.

Thank you so much, Ashlyn for helping to make my big day one I’ll never forget!
Ashlyn and her team did hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, my mom, and grandma-in-law for my wedding this September. They did a fantastic job- myself and the girls felt confident and I have never felt so beautiful! They were accommodating, punctual, attentive, extremely skilled, and lovely people in general- I can’t recommend their services enough!

I have only wonderful things to say about Ashlyn.
She is extremely easy to communicate with and so fun to gab with when she is getting you ready!
I booked Ashlyn for my wedding hair and make-up. We started with a hair and make-up trial. I was curious so did full intense glam including airbrush and a half up-do (first two photos). I loved it but after a few hours I didn't feel like myself!
For my actual wedding I asked Ashlyn to scale back and do her signature soft glam. She was so great about taking my feedback and applying it to my final wedding look, I couldn’t have been happier.
My wedding party RAVED about their hair and make-up. Both Ashlyn and Olesia were also extremely kind when one of my bridesmaids didn’t love her final look (it happens! Sometimes you’re not sure what you like until you see it in person) and after a few touch-ups my bridesmaid felt beautiful (and still raves about how great her brows looked that day)!
Thank you so much Ashlyn for making us all feel so beautiful! Ashlyn gets booked-up quickly and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.
