I am so thrilled that I found McKinzee from Roxee Bridal to do my hair and makeup. My mother in law, mom and I all had our hair / makeup done by McKinzee, and she is a true pro. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I showed her photos of what I liked on Pinterest, and she was able to create the perfect bridal look for me! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She flew in for our big day despite having just lost two family members. When people entered my hotel room to find us chatting whilst I was in the "makeup chair", they asked us how we had met each other and how long we had been friends! :) That is the kind of warmth she exudes. I will forever be grateful to McKinzee for making me feel so special on my big day - I felt like a movie star. Don't hesitate- book with Roxee and ask for McKinzee!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.

Glow with Dej 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Hello, my name is Dejanira and I am a Twin Cities makeup artist. Something that separates me from the rest is that my style is very natural and radiant. When people think of natural they think light coverage but that is not the case. I provide the coverage you want but the finished look will not appear to be layers upon layers. What you and others will see is healthy glowing look, it will feel as if you are barely wearing anything at all. My goal is to have you look in the mirror and notice that it still looks like you but with a little extra glam.

Dej is amazing! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist (and hair team) to make you feel beautiful! Her style is natural glow and perfect for brides who want to feel like themselves on their wedding day. Myself and my bridesmaids had nothing but good things to say about Dej and her team.

I was so on the fence deciding if I wanted a makeup and hairstylist, I am someone who is confident with doing my makeup but hair is always hit or miss. I decided I wanted to just forgo the stress of getting myself ready so I messaged Primped because I thought their prices and stipulations on their site were fair. They assigned me to Kimmy as my artist and I cannot give her enough praise. She is so down to earth and honest and also very good at explaining everything and she did a phenomenal job. I had my makeup and hair trial and wore it to work and got so many compliments. The day of my wedding I unfortunately broke out with some small spots of acne because hormones but she did such a great job that it wasn't even noticeable. I had so many compliments and I felt so beautiful during my big day. Also, the communication with Justine was flawless. She handled everything from the coordinating standpoint and there were no hiccups with planning. I would 100% recommend Primped!! Also, I tried to upload pictures but kept getting errors, hopefully I can add them later.

the suite seat

  • Serves Brainerd, MN for additional fees

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

She’s incredibly talented when it comes to hair, everyone looked so amazing and the hair styles held up so well all night!

I used Simply Elegant Beauty to get my hair and makeup done for head shot photos for a new job. Kristen was great, very knowledgeable, fun & energetic. Being a woman in my early 50's with my changing skin textures I was really apprehensive. She put me at ease and was able to smooth out what I perceived to be hopeless. I will strongly recommend Kristen and her team to anyone, of any age, for any event. They can make you feel, in my case, young again.
