I cannot speak highly enough about Marisa! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and empowered, allowing me to stay in the driver’s seat every step of the way. As someone who rarely wears makeup, I was nervous about not feeling like myself on such an important day, but Marisa listened carefully and recreated a natural yet radiant look that felt so me. I truly felt beautiful and like myself, which is all I could have hoped for. Marisa has such kind and warm energy. She was thoughtful and genuinely invested in making sure I felt my best.

Meghan is insanely talented and worked magic putting together such intricate hair style that lasted the whole day. All the adjustments we made during the trial were incorporated in the final hair which held up the entire reception! I truly had my dream hair for my wedding. I'm just speechless that she can recreate hair styles from just a photo! Bonus was having her do my hair for the rehearsal! It was totally different from my wedding hair, which shows how versatile she is! Also, I absolutely adore Meghan as a person! She was the perfect calm, peaceful energy I needed on my wedding day.

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Cori truly saved my wedding day, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she arrived, right on time, professional, and completely prepared, I knew we were in good hands. She was warm, happy, and genuinely interested in everything that was going on, which made her feel more like a friend celebrating with us than just a hairdresser. She made me and my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful. Every single one of us showed her our inspiration pictures, and she matched them perfectly—down to the smallest details. She even brought a bag full of hair accessories to add those extra special touches. On top of all that, she graciously fit my niece in for an adorable “tiny wedding guest” hairstyle, which was completely unplanned. It meant so much to us! Not to mention the other 9 girls she had already done in a timely manner, all. by. herself. Cori is talented, professional, and such a joy to have around on a big day. 10/10 would recommend her for any event!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nikki. From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. Even during our very first call, she went above and beyond—offering thoughtful guidance and great recommendations for my pre-wedding skincare routine. On my wedding day, Nikki handled hair and makeup not only for me, but also for six women in my bridal party—and she did it all with the most thoughtful, kind, patient, and calming presence. For my own look, she created the most beautiful, elegant ponytail that was exactly what I had envisioned. It felt soft and natural, stayed perfectly in place all day, and photographed flawlessly. Nikki took the time to listen to what each person in my bridal party wanted and made everyone feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. She was honest and helpful with her suggestions, incredibly organized, and somehow kept the entire morning running seamlessly without ever making us feel rushed. My hair and makeup turned out exactly as I had hoped—natural, timeless, and flawless from morning to night. Beyond her talent, what truly sets Nikki apart is her heart. She brings such warmth and positivity into a room, and it made the entire experience feel so special. I am endlessly grateful to have had her as part of our day and would recommend her to any bride a thousand times over.

I am a traveling freelance makeup artist. Makeup has been my passion for over 10 years and I have been doing makeup professionally for less than a year. Makeup has always helped me feel beautiful, confident, and radiant and it's such a pleasure to be able to do it for others!

Whether you want the more natural look, the sultry look, or the classic beauty look, Macy Lo is your girl and the makeup artist for you. Her fun attitude and dedication is impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is a professional, and truly a delight to have around. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see whether you like or dislike something or whether you want less or more. She truly gears her talents toward the individual. On the day of my wedding she came early, brought her extensive line of makeup, additional accessories, and with a smile and genuine joy and excitement on her face got to work. Macy did such a beautiful job for myself, my sister, step-mom, and my two bridesmaids at my wedding. We all felt like princesses. I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for her. On my wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and blessed. Macy played a big part in that. I would work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone I know. If only she could pop out of my makeup bag every day lol.

A different wedding makeup artist recommended me to Danny and specifically said he is the only person she likes to do her own makeup. That was an immediate good sign for me. When I first reached out to him his kindness and sincerity were the first things I noticed. He was super professional and thorough but also very easy to talk to. I ended up doing two makeup and hair trials and felt really good about my look after the second one. Lia was the hair stylist who Danny recommended and works with frequently. They were both very understanding and just wanted me to feel my best. They were right on time the day of the wedding, had such a calming presence and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup. One of my bridesmaids who didn’t originally sign up for makeup asked to have hers done because of how much she loved everyone else’s and because we had enough time he was able to do it. After the wedding everyone said how well my makeup and hair lasted and you can tell in the photos as well! Danny and Lia were great listeners, super fun, very approachable and easy to talk to in the process of figuring out what I liked and didn’t like and just really skilled at their craft. Their pricing was also very reasonable and you could tell their passion and love for what they do was their drive. Danny was great at communicating and really organized as well. I would highly recommend them both!!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Geri was incredible for doing both hair and makeup for myself and my wife. From the time we set up and went to the trial with her we knew she was the right choice. We needed to change the amount of people getting done several times and she always changed it seamlessly. For our wedding we had a large bridal party and needed a lot of people done for hair and makeup (9 bridesmaids). Geri and her team were incredible of ensuring everyone got the styles that they wanted. I even changed the style I wanted for my makeup drastically from the trail I did and Geri made my vision come true. Her team was fantastic with all of our wedding party and even our year old flower girl who required some extra patience. I cannot say enough nice things about how Geri and her team made me and my wife feel on our wedding day. If you’re considering booking her you will not regret it!
