Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Noelle is awesome! She clearly cares a lot about her business / customer service, and was very quick and generous in correcting a couple of minor hiccups that came up during our hair/makeup trial process. She was a pleasure to work with and I loved how my bridal hair/makeup came out! My friends were happy with the other hair and makeup artists who she worked with on the day as well.

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. the comfort of my bridal party was my top priority so finding out that alder hair studios was LGBTQ friendly and had an eye for making you look beautiful was the best feeling in the world. multiple members of my bridal party couldnt say enough about how much they loved getting dolled up by KayLeigh and Corena. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!

When I was looking for hair/makeup for my wedding, I knew I wanted a team who could do both. I also knew I wanted someone who has extensive experience with my facial features. Crystal Drake did an amazing job for my mom, my bridesmaids, and myself. My trial was 4 months before my wedding, and I was able to schedule it so it was the same day as my engagement photos. Crystal is SO thorough and easy to work with. I was planning this wedding from a completely different time zone, and she was very accommodating/understanding of my schedule. She uses a portal which includes all of your documents/contracts/important information. One thing that really stood out to me about Crystal during my first meeting with her before deciding was she asked me who my photographer was so she could match my makeup to my photographer’s style. This was a detail I didn’t even think about, but made so much sense. She has questionnaires for you to fill out ahead of time so she can get a better sense of what you want. At my trial she asked what specifically I liked about each of the photos so she could help me achieve the look I wanted. I wanted natural looking makeup since I don’t wear makeup often. I wanted a dewy/glowy look with fluffy eyebrows. During the trial she made sure to always ask me what I liked and didn’t like. She was always open to feedback and listened to what I wanted. She would also give feedback regarding certain things that maybe would not work well or achieve the look I wanted, which I really appreciated because I am not a professional. She took notes throughout the whole thing to make sure I would have the perfect look. At the end of my trial, she took test photos with similar lighting/editing as my photographer to make sure my makeup captured correctly. Even after my trial, she followed up to make sure I liked the way my makeup looked in my engagement photos. Crystal sent a day off schedule ahead of time and asked if I needed to make any changes. The week before and the few days before she confirmed time/location/services. Come wedding day, her team was of course incredible! We got ready at my parents’ place. They came right on time, and we finished with 40 minutes to spare. If you are looking for hair/makeup for your big day, Crystal Drake is your go to!

The quality of her work is truly top-notch and out of this world -she made sure I was hydrated and comfortable throughout the entire day, and she always checked how the hair was looking from up close and from a distance to make sure it was perfect. It also stayed all night even after my veil got ripped out walking back down the isle!I cannot recommend Jessi highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional beauty team to be a part of their special day.
