I hired Leahness for my wedding immediately after meeting her at a Photo Shoot I did for my soon to be husband. I have never felt so beautiful! I had done a couple of bridal trials with other artists and I didn't look like myself and felt horrible. She made me look glowing, beautiful and confident on my Wedding Day. Her easy personality was so fun and make the morning stress free. I recommend her to all of my Brides (I am also a Wedding Planner) that want to look radiant on their Big day. I can't say enough good things about her!!!

I loved working with Jasmine for my wedding hair and makeup! From start to finish, she was super professional, incredibly responsive, and a clear communicator. Her makeup looks are beautiful and I chose to go with her signature soft glam with curled hair pinned back on one side. She did a fantastic job during the trial and the day of. After the trial, Jasmine was great at asking for my feedback and incorporating it into the final look for my wedding day. She's also mindful of tailoring her approach to your specific needs to help her work last longer. Make sure to tell her about your skin type and any specific concerns, like curls falling out of your hair easily, or oily eyelids for myself which might have affected the longevity of one eye's eyeshadow. Aside from that and a couple other minor touch ups needed throughout the day (grateful for her touch up kit!), the rest of my hair and makeup stayed all night long on my wedding day. I loved my look and thought it was even better than the trial! Even though she isn't a professional hairstylist, Jasmine really nailed it with my hair. It stayed flawless all day and night, despite the dress changes and jewelry adjustments throughout the day and I received multiple compliments on my hair! She's also easy going and nice to talk to - I really enjoyed the time spent chatting with her while getting ready in the morning. It was a great, peaceful way to start the busy day. Jasmine also helped do 2 of my bridesmaid's hair and did a beautiful job. One of them said that she has a really hard time getting curls to hold, but her hairstyle lasted all night long. I'm so grateful for Jasmine's help and would recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and personable HMUA!

Samantha Keefauver was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the moment I reached out, Sam was incredibly approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly. The platform she works through was also nice to use as it kept communication streamlined and all in one place (especially since wedding planning can overwhelm you with emails). She took the time to understand my vision and was so patient in walking me through the process. On my wedding day, Sam and her entire team were consummate professionals. They made me and my entire bridal party feel so beautiful and radiant (we were all obsessed with the glowy bridal looks and loved how versatile everyone was).

I am a freelance hair + makeup artist specializing in bridal and special event beauty services. Being an artist for over 13 years I take great price in delivering what it takes to be beautiful in your own skin using high quality cosmetics and the most important tool, your beauty.

I’m SO glad I chose Chelsey! She was such a great and easy person to work with from our first conversation all the way through the wedding, and her work is amazing! The make up turned out BEAUTIFULLY - I wanted the soft glam look from the pictures she posted online and that was exactly what she delivered. I got sooooo many compliments. It held up through plenty of tears. I just got the professional pictures back and the make up looks absolutely stunning. She made all my bridesmaids look amazing and it makes me so happy to see the photos of everyone I love looking so beautiful It was also so fun getting to know her while she was doing the make up. She’s a really awesome and interesting person! She felt like a part of our bridal crew on the day of, everyone loved talking with her while getting their hair and make up done. From a logistics perspective, she was also completely reliable. That brought me a lot of peace of mind when it easily could have been another stressor. She showed up exactly when she said she would and had all the professional supplies. She budgeted enough time to keep things on schedule. I had a destination winter wedding in Yosemite, and a few local vendors warned me that other MUAs sometimes no-show to weddings if the roads are snowy! I brought that up when I first spoke with Chelsey and she immediately gave me confidence that I could rely on her. She was super flexible and professional even when I changed the trial date several times. I finally decided to do the trial the night before the wedding (for the rehearsal dinner), which is of course a risk but I had no regrets! Her price was a little higher than other MUAs I spoke with but, considering the quality of her work and how easy and fun she was to work with, I have absolutely no regrets and strongly recommend her for any brides who might be considering her!!

She also worked incredibly quickly - my family members were very impressed with how detailed of designs they had on their hands in less than 15 min each.

Jasmine is one of a kind! I have known Jasmine before she became Jasmine&Co and she has always had such a kind and helpful spirit. She was the easiest decision with my wedding planning process and I had 2 big events to prepare for. Always had good recommendations for local vendors too! I had Jasmine for my pre wedding and day of event and I loved my looks! What I absolutely appreciated is how hectic wedding planning gets jasmine always assured me that everything will be okay! She also helped me create a hotel block in hawaii for my destination wedding and gather ideas for my big day!
