Liz Kellerman was a pure joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment I first reached out, she was open to feedback, honest, and kind in her communication style. I was very specific about some aspects about my makeup including not wanting to wear a long wear foundation. I was so worried a makeup artist would be resistant or unable to make a tinted serum work as a base but she did! AND it lasted until 3 am! On the day of our wedding, Liz was flexible with the timing and made the morning of the wedding relaxing and easy. The quality of her work was genuine and reflected her years of experience - she was great at keeping us on schedule without any stress.

My beauty journey started when I was about 4 years old.That’s when I helped myself to my mother’s lipsticks—which weren’t easy to come by in those days! I decided that day -and all days- should be Halloween, and I painted my face accordingly. As I grew, my love affair with makeup intensified. When I was a teenager, I would wear heavy, smoky eye makeup. I’ve grown out of that stage, having come to appreciate natural beauty. It’s natural beauty that I focus on now. But don’t get me wrong! I still love a wide palate of colors and working on creative photoshoots, pictorial projects, and editorial pieces.

We had a great experience with Elena and her team! We did the silver package and my best friends, mom, and I were all thrilled with the end product and experience overall. We were not a make up and hair savvy group and she easily took us through the process and went with the vibe each girl asked for. She really listened to us when we asked for a more natural look and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.

Our team travels domestically and internationally making brides beautiful and prepping models for photo shoots. The rest of the time, you can find us at the Jaded Beauty Studio doing hair and makeup styling, hosting events, and more.

Jade and Devon were a fantastic hair and make-up team for my wedding! Jade was professional and organized to get the hair and makeup done for the ladies in the wedding party. I really appreciated the trial we did because I have longer and thicker hair. It was helpful to get an idea of what my hair would look like and how we could get it to stay up! She also gave the tip to schedule a dress fitting after the trial to see it all together which was a great idea. The airbrush makeup Jade used felt light and airy, and although I don’t wear a lot of makeup day to day, I still felt like myself with the look she gave me. My bridal party all liked their hair & makeup even my mom who has a very specific style. Jade was great working with my mom to make sure she felt like herself with her updo. At the end of the night, my hair still looked great in my chignon-esque bun! Definitely recommend them for wedding hair and make-up!

Onsite Beauty Artistry strives to ensure that every client feels and looks beautiful from the inside out, creating an unforgettable experience.

OnSite Beauty by Brooke is out go-to recommendation for hair and makeup. She makes everyone look gorgeous but she does so much more! As a wedding venue, we care a lot about the behind-the-scenes roll that HMU artists take. Brooke is 5 star in every category. We see a lot of different HMUA and many are not professional. We don't have a single worry when Brooke and team at hired. Here is a list of HMU fails that Brooke NEVER does: ignores the timeline and makes the whole wedding day 1.5 hours later; spray tans the wall of the bridal suite resulting in forfeit of the couple's damage deposit (or burns the furniture/floor with wands; spills insoluble product on the floor furniture; spray hairspray on every surface...); puts colors on the bride that make her look like a trampy barbie or not compliment her skin tone. Please consider (and hire if she is available) Brooke and team. You will look amazing, you won't lose your damage deposit, and your timeline won't be screwed up by your makeup artist.

Brook grew up competing in gymnastics and track which lead to having her hair pulled up and back often.

When she realized college wasn't the path for her she decided to attend cosmetology school in 2015. Through her salon career thus far she has seen many sides of the industry and has always found herself the happiest when styling hair just like in her early days. Brook hopes to give you your dream wedding hair!

She was so calm and kind, and truly made everyone feel beautiful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married.
