I reached out to Vanessa for hair and makeup for my 30th birthday photoshoot, and I am SO glad I did. From the start, I explained that I have curly, textured hair (which can be tricky to work with) and hooded eyes, and that I wanted my makeup to enhance my eyes and make them appear bigger--not heavier or smaller. Vanessa took the time to really listen. We talked through my concerns, and she confidently explained how she would approach both my hair and makeup. She truly embraced the challenge--and let me tell you, she absolutely delivered. She gave me everything I wanted and more, checked in throughout the process, asked for feedback, and made adjustments as needed. She never rushed and genuinely cared about making sure I felt confident and happy with the final look. I wholeheartedly loved my experience with Vanessa. She is professional, incredibly talented, and such a delight to talk to. If you're looking for an experienced hair and makeup artist who listens and delivers beautiful results, Vanessa is your girl! read more

I highly recommend her to any future bride or anyone wanting to look and feel stunning for a special event. Vanessa is truly exceptional!! read more

Vanessa is the best, hands down. She first did my hair and makeup for my business' brand photoshoot about 3 years ago, and it was amazing. I knew then, that she had to be the one to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. I wasn't too sure about which direction I wanted to go in and what type of look I'd like to achieve and she was so patient with me. I ended up having two trials and it was the best decision I could've made. The second was necessary because I decided to get highlights, extensions and a spray tan before my second trial, which truly made all the difference in finalizing the hairstyle and make up look I wanted. On the big day, I couldn't have been calmer because I just knew she'd do an amazing job. She also did my Mom's hair and makeup and she looked incredible! My Mom has never had her hair and makeup done and was pretty nervous, but in the end she looked absolutely beautiful and loooved how she looked! Also, we particularly loved that she left us a little touch up kit with some sample sizes of a few items she used on us! This allowed us to retouch throughout the day as needed. Though really, it thankfully wasn't needed that much, besides lipstick of course. It was a hot day and that hair and makeup held up!! If you're looking for someone who will not only make you feel heard, comfortable but like a beautiful bride, trust me -- you found your girl!! read more

Vanessa is absolutely amazing! 20/10 recommend to a friend! I recently got married this March 2023, and I had never gotten my hair and makeup professionally done before. BUT, Vanessa came in and exceeded my expectations! Vanessa was super sweet, funny, very in tune with her craft, and really took the time to listen to the vision that I had. She did so well working with me and my hectic family and made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt! I truly can not recommend her enough.

Vanessa did my wedding makeup and absolutely over-delivered on what I was wanting for my special day. She was also super clean and professional with her setup and use of brushes and products to ensure safety at the highest caliber which is of course important in general but especially during Covid. My photographer couldn't stop saying how amazing my makeup was which in returned helped even more with the photos (no touch up needed) and it lasted all day without lines or smears. I am completely impressed with Vanessa's makeup artistry and going the extra mile to make sure my makeup was flawless. She also added some extra touches to light up the shimmer to my chest, shoulders and arms so I would look even more impressive for photos in my wedding dress. Vanessa was recommended to me and now I have my own makeup artist that I get to recommend to all you Yelpers! If you have a special occasion or photo shoot and need a professional makeup artist, Vanessa is your gal! read more
