INCREDIBLE! So many compliments!
Mari and Ashley were INCREDIBLE on my big day! About a month before my wedding date, I ended up having to cancel a previous vendor and I was so anxious to find someone who could help me truly fulfill my big day. These two EXCEEDED my expectations and were so kind and courteous to the situation. On the day of, they were timely and friendly, meshing perfectly with the room and vibes of the day. We even got done almost an hour early, I could not recommend them enough for any and all bridal and bridal party beauty services!

Hair & Makeup Dream Team
Mari and Ash were an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, positive energy that helped ease any nerves and made getting ready one of my favorite parts of the day. You can tell they genuinely care about making every person in the chair feel beautiful and confident. They listened to what everyone wanted and absolutely nailed each look. I felt so beautiful, and my hair and makeup lasted all day and night—even through happy tears, dancing, and hours of celebrating! They were also incredibly efficient and actually finished ahead of schedule, which gave us extra time for photos and allowed the morning to feel relaxed instead of rushed. That extra time was such a gift on such a busy day. I can’t recommend Mari and Ash enough. They’re talented, professional, organized, and such a joy to be around. If you’re looking for a hair and makeup team that will make you look amazing while keeping the getting-ready experience stress-free and fun, they’re the perfect choice!

Ashley was AMAZING
Ashley was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day! Everyone looked and felt so beautiful, and the makeup turned out even better than we could have imagined. She really listened to what everyone wanted and made each person feel confident while still looking natural and like themselves. She was also incredibly professional, on time, and did such a great job keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule throughout the morning. Having a calm, organized presence while getting ready made such a difference for our bridal party. We are so grateful for her talent and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for beautiful makeup and a stress-free experience!

Hair and Makeup
I loved my hair and makeup! Ashley and Mari were amazing to work with - they were quick to respond, made me super comfortable, and did amazing work (as did their team they brought for day of)! My LONG hair curls held through the day and looked so natural. Although I did two makeup trials because I was unsure how heavy I wanted to go, Ashley nailed it when I wanted tweaks to make it super light (she can also do amazing contour though if you're into it!). They both listed to exactly what I was envisioning and made it come to life! All the bridesmaids, grandmas, flower girl, and mothers loved working with them and everyone looked amazing. All my thanks and support to these ladies!!

10/10 Team!
I am very glad I chose to work with Mari & Ash for my wedding hair and makeup! They were very organized and responsive when I needed to schedule my trial and plan for the wedding day itself. We had 10 women that needed hair and makeup done, and we stayed ahead of schedule all morning. Not only did they achieve the look I wanted, but they were very kind and fun people to have around while getting ready for the big day. I wanted to have my natural curls in my half-up/half-down look, and the final style incorporated that perfectly. Both Mari and Ash were also able to make minor changes from the trial to the wedding day to match my vision/adjust to a longer hair length than I originally anticipated. My look lasted through dinner and LOTS of dancing. Thank you MXA!
