It was such a pleasure working with EJ from start to finish. She responded promptly and thoroughly to all my questions and was very accommodating and professional. I booked a hair and makeup trial a few months before the wedding, and EJ walked me through what she thought would look best since I wasn't too sure. This was very helpful, as it gave me a better idea of how I wanted everything to look.

On the day of the wedding, EJ arrived with her team to help with wedding party hair and makeup. I also changed my hair to a different style than what we had done at the trial, and EJ was kindly able to accommodate. Everything looked amazing even with the last minute change. I also arranged for EJ to stay until the ceremony for touch ups, which helped me feel confident and at ease before walking down the aisle. Everyone in the wedding party were also happy with their hair and makeup and were impressed with EJ and her team.

EJ is truly amazing and talented, and she helped me feel like a beautiful bride. I can't...

EJ and her team did the hair and make up for me and my wedding party (including our moms). I also booked a trial wedding make up session with her weeks before the actual wedding day.

I don’t usually wear makeup, so I was really nervous about not looking like myself or feeling overdone—especially with so many people seeing me all at once. I was worried that my makeup would feel unfamiliar, or that others wouldn’t recognize me behind it.

EJ created a natural look that made me feel put together and not feel like a different person. She enhanced my features in the softest, most thoughtful way, covering up all the things that made me insecure without ever making me feel self-conscious.

Beyond her talent, what meant the most was how she made me feel emotionally. She was like the big sister every bride needs—calming and kind.

Thank you EJ, for your incredible work and your beautiful energy. You helped me feel supported, calm, and completely myself on one of the most important...

E.J. is a wonderful hair & makeup artist and I am so happy that I booked her for my wedding! On the day of, she really took her time to ensure that my makeup looked great every step of the way, checking in with me to see what I thought as well. Her team was able to finish the bridal party and moms' hair & makeup quickly and were very responsive to feedback when people requested adjustments at the end of the getting ready period.

I also had E.J. stay for touch-ups until the ceremony and I really appreciated how active she was during that whole period, making sure to blot my makeup, adjust my hair, and even do touch-ups for my husband and the rest of the wedding party whenever she saw something was out of place. She took the time to refresh my entire look before the ceremony began. I felt so beautiful the whole night--I wish I always looked as good as I did on my wedding day! So glad that I found E.J. and had the opportunity to work with...
