About Simple + Sultry
Simple + Sultry
Hi! I'm Talia and in 2018 I created Simple + Sultry. I had been working in the world of weddings for a few years, and in 2017 I married my husband and my craft became that much more special to me. I want to help people glow on their big day. Everyone deserves their day of love and laughter and I want to help create the day of your dreams. Simple + Sultry was named after my artistic style. I find beauty in soft, simple yet sultry looks with a laissez-faire whim about them.
I am a makeup artist who hates how makeup feels on the skin, so I have strived very hard to find products, tools, and techniques that allow me to apply beautiful yet comfortable makeup. I tend towards a natural style with a romantic allure, and work well with clients who have an aligned vision. I always talk to clients to get a feel of who they are and what would work best for them, and I always ask before we're done, "Do you still feel like you?" Similarly, my hairstyling tends toward a more natural, romantic, soft look. Never too coiffed. And I absolutely love working with natural curls!

I Loved How I Looked!
Talia did a beautiful job! I don't typically style my hair or wear lots of makeup, so I was wary of looking too done up when I got married. They were super understanding of this, and created a hair and makeup look that had me feeling and looking like the best version of myself. Talia did great with my sister and mom as well, and brought a calming presence to the bridal suite. They were super receptive to feedback, checking in throughout the process to make sure we were happy with our looks. Also, I don't know what kind of setting spray they're using but aside from a lipstick touch up after dinner I didn't need to reapply anything the entire night!
Felt Beautiful!
Talia was a joy to work with throughout the process. I felt so relaxed on the day and fully confident in my hair and makeup. I felt so beautiful! My 2 MOH, Mother, MIL, and SMIL all had their hair and makeup done and everyone was extremely happy. Prices are very reasonable as well!
Calm, Cool, Collected, Caring
Top Takeaway: Talia is a magician and genius, and they are the warm, patient, supportive person you want by your side as you kick off your wedding day. Prep Process: Talia came to my home a few months before my wedding for my hair and makeup trial. I do not wear makeup ever and typically wash-and-go my hair, but as soon as I met them, I was immediately at ease. They are the warmest, gentlelest, most patient human and artist who highlighted and enhanced my best features with such ease and expertise. They took photos and videos of every variation we did to help guide us on the actual day. We had 12 people who needed hair and makeup done on my wedding day, and Talia structured the prep docs such that we communicated everyone’s needs and preferences in advance. They also provided a schedule to make sure everyone was on the same page about when, where, and with whom they needed to be. It made for a seamless morning, where everyone self-regulated, and I wasn’t managing who was on deck for hair & makeup. Investment and Value: Talia is not only an extremely talented artist, but they work with an extraordinary team – Erin and Stirling brought such warmth, artistry, and humor to our getting ready space. Through the entire morning with 12(!) women getting their hair and makeup done, the three of them set the tone for the day: boisterous, full of laughter and joy. You want the best team to kick off such a special day; Talia is the head of the best team. Calm, Cool, Collected, Caring: On my actual wedding day, in my stress and desire to be ready as quickly as possible to adhere to our schedule, I struggled to articulate exactly how I wanted my hair. Talia made two updos that were beautiful but different than what I wanted; when I was ready to throw in the towel and just live with it because I didn’t want to be demanded and I was worried about time, Talia kept a cool head. We pulled up our videos from the trial and talked through the differences then and now. They encouraged me to express exactly what I hoped for; they patiently listened to me try to articulate what I wanted differently (even though I didn’t really have the words); and they figured out how to make the changes. The final result was completely perfect and exactly what I wanted. Hire Them!: Very few people are willing to pause and adjust in the midst of stress, chaos, and a time crunch; Talia is such a consummate professional and exactly the kind of person you want in your corner on your wedding day to ensure you look and feel your best. I felt so beautiful, and I felt so respected and heard. Thank you a million times over, Royal Rider!!
Could not have had a better experience
My wife and I were recommended Talia at Simple Sultry by our wedding planner, and their name also came up in several Reddit threads. As a queer couple, it was really important to us to prioritize queer (or queer friendly) vendors, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Talia is TALENTED and their prices couldn't be beat. We absolutely loved their portfolio and were happy to see a lot of glowing reviews. It's my pleasure to add onto those glowing reviews and recommend them to anyone in search of hair and makeup, irrespective of how you identify. They were communicative and easy to coordinate with. They were flexible with timing and accommodated all of our needs, and guided us through the process of figuring out what we wanted. For our wedding day, they did hair and makeup with an associate for some of our wedding party, and everyone loved their looks. The makeup was flawless and very high quality - I cried at least 4 times during my wedding and I swear it did not BUDGE. Thank you, Talia, for making our hair and makeup visions come true!!!
