It’s always a bit nerve racking to get hair & makeup done out of town, thankfully, this was a perfect experience. NeKea is professional and fun (she sings while she works). Best of all, everyone in our group (picky hair, doesn’t know what she wants (me) & picky makeup) loved our hair & makeup. This was the best fancy hair I’ve ever had.

Ashley is a very talented makeup artist. Everyone she worked on looked gorgeous, and the hairstylist was great too! She has such a good vibe. The only reason I am giving her 4 stars is because it was very stressful for me in the days leading up to the wedding due to some issues with the final count and contract. My advice for you is to be mindful of the number of services or bridesmaids you include in the contract, as you cannot remove them later. Also, before paying the deposit, make sure you are aware of all hidden fees and the total price, because the deposit is non-refundable. Other than that, we are very happy with the services. Thank you so much ️
