Leah Joy is one word... amazing!!! She was recommended to me from my aesthetician (Jennifer Swink) when I asked if she knew anyone for bridal makeup. I was getting married soon, and was very nervous about finding a quality artist. I had bad skin, and my blemishes were not easy to cover. I called Leah and set up a trial with her. She was professional, caring, and sweet! Despite being embarassed of my skin condition, I felt comfortable with her and confident she would do a great job on my wedding day. As I expected, Leah came to me on my wedding day calm and ready to beautify me. She did a fabulous job, and I am so happy I found her. My makeup looked fresh the entire night, and I received many compliments (and continue to) for having a great makeup job. All I can say is thanks to Leah! She also did makeup for two of my bridesmaids / sister-in-laws, and my mother... Her work is flawless! We all had fake eyelashes, which she applied smoothly and they remained secure the entire night. If you need a makeup or hair artist, I highly recommend contacting Leah. She is not only a sweetheart, but she is professional and amazing at what she does. She will make you feel at ease, and flawless! Thank you Leah!!! read more

I had wanted to dye my hair red forever, but I was always afraid & my hair stylists back here in PA just kept adding color over color over color every time I went. Leah did my hair while I was working out in AZ for an internship & now I'll have to fly back to AZ for her to continue doing my hair! She blended the absolute perfect coloring I was looking for, and unlike others, she stripped my old dark colors out (in a healthy, completely non damaging way) and I got to start fresh with my amazing red!! I recommend her to everyone in the AZ area! read more

Working with Leah is exactly the kind of experience one hopes for when hiring a makeup artist/hair stylist. I recently had Leah do my hair and makeup for my baby shower and she was nothing short of amazing! Not only did she stay in excellent communication before the event (I had booked her quite some time before the shower), she was prompt, prepared and knew just how to achieve the look I was going for. I have extremely long, thick hair and based on a picture, Leah styled it exactly how I had envisioned. Likewise, I showed her a picture of the makeup look I was going for and she was meticulous (exactly what you want when getting your makeup professionally done), thorough, and truly cared that I was 100% happy. On top of all of this, my hair and makeup was done in the convenience of my own home - a life saver during the busy morning of my event. I would absolutely recommend Leah to anyone! Do yourself a favor and give her a call next time you need a little glam. You won't regret it! read more

Leah is the best!! Recently, she did hair and makeup for myself and my two bridesmaids. She does beautiful work, is very professional, and easily accessible. Whenever I had a question, she was quick to text back. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and Leah naturally brought out the best in me. I have sensitive skin and her products are very high quality. She came to my home which made getting ready easy and comfortable. Her prices are very reasonable, which allowed my bridesmaids to do both hair and makeup. She made me feel flawless and glamorous on the most memorable day of my life. Thank you, Leah!! read more

I found Leah on Thumbtack and fell in love with instantly. She wasn't just some pushy makeup and hair vendor that insisted on using them and that it was my only option (I planned my wedding in 60 days). She worked with me, she listened to me complain, she kept me calm. She became more of a friend and a calming face to see come the big day and all the anxiety that came along with is. She made me feel so beautiful on my big day, just like the photo i had provided her. My make up lasted all night without flaw. I want to thank her for helping me feel so beautiful, confident, and calm on my big day! She was an angel that was put in my life that day and for that I will forever be thankful! read more

Whether you're primping for a typical night out or a big event, Leah Joy will have you looking your best. I've been her client for over 6 months because she is a master of her craft. She began as my hair stylist-she's amazing with cuts, color and blowouts. She corrected a pre-existing color catastrophe and made my highlights look better than ever! When Leah did my hair and makeup for a photo shoot, that's when I became a loyal fan for life. She had me flawlessly camera-ready (despite my acne) but not overdone. She listens well to clients' requests and provides results that exceed expectations. Leah Joy is a total professional with a terrific personality, plus she's mobile so she can accommodate her clients anywhere. read more

Leah did my hair for my senior Prom and it was absolutely perfect!! I got so many compliments on my curls and could not have asked for a better job! Leah knew exactly what to do to make my curls look good and they lasted all night. My hair was even still relatively curled when I woke up the next morning! I have very long and thick hair and curling usually takes hairdressers about an hour. Leah took less than 30 minutes and was very efficient. read more

So wonderful!! Hello Hair came to my hotel and traveled to me so that I could be on time for my morning keynote at 9am. Our stylist was quick and prepared. She set up exactly where I asked and was event ready to go a bit early. My hair and my 3 other friends who also booked with HelloHair were beyond happy with our hair and the service! read more

I met Leah through a friend who had also used her for bridal makeup. She is very sweet and kind to work with! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She did a few of my bridesmaids too but ran out of time, unfortunately. I had 6 maids but we only got through 3 of them. Luckily, I had another friend with us who did hair and makeup so all worked out! I would definitely use Leah again! She makes you feel gorgeous! My wedding day was 11/02/13. read more

Hello Hair - Makeup Artists Near Me

Leah did hair/makeup for my wedding and overall extremely disappointed in her services. Most of my bridesmaid's hair fell out shortly after she did it and even after she redid a couple of the girls hair, it still fell out even though she said she had 'special techniques' to keep it up. She spent only about 15 min per head. One of my relatives wanted her hair straightened and Leah did not have a straightener with her. Her attitude and demeanor were also unpleasant to be around the day of the wedding. She's not the kind of person you want around you the day you're getting married. I booked Leah based on Yelp reviews and after rereading the reviews feel like the reviews were left by family/friends. Overall I would not recommend Leah and would suggest hiring anyone else. I'm curious how you reviewed pics from my wedding since I have not gotten my photos back yet. Obviously that is a lie. My friends and family never said those things you said. Another lie. The only reason you made yourself available for touch ups was because I paid you so don't say you offered and I will never take you up on free services from you because you are very unprofessional and have a lot to learn about running a business. read more

Whenever I find myself in Scottsdale of she travels to Los Angeles I always use Leah! From fixing my extensions or contouring my face perfectly, I can always can always count on Leah to get it right the first time and transfer my vision into reality. I recently was on a trip to Las Vegas and had her there to do my hair and makeup to make me look fabulous my whole trip! Thanks Leah! read more

Leah is wonderful! She did my daughter's hair and makeup for senior pictures and then again for senior prom. She made my daughter look amazing and feel so beautiful. She really made these special days so special! Can't wait to use her again. read more

Ok, first off... Leah is a hair genius!! Best I've ever had! And my hair is difficult!! I like my hair to be perfect and I never get anything less than perfect with this girl!!! I can't and will not be going to anyone else ever again!! Second.. She is such a pleasure to be around!! Makes her service that much more pleasant and easy going. She makes it seem so easy and the finished product is spectacular!! Please Leah... Don't ever go anywhere!! I need you in my life forever!! She is extremely accommodating to your schedule. I was running late from work and I was so aplogetic about being late because I thought I was holding her up. She told me, "drive safe, it's ok, I'll be there when you're ready." Ugh... You're amazing!!! Thank you so much for always following through with perfection!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! read more

Leah Joy works Magic on my hair.... She straightens it weekly and makes it look absolutely amazing every single time.... Most stylists I know can do one type of hairdo good but Leah can style it full, wavy, pin straight, etc.... Lasts five or six days! Not only does she make my hair look great she is also very sweet and I enjoy catching chatting with her.... She has also cut my hair and did a great job and applied make up for a photoshoot and was the only make-up artist that truly listened to what I wanted and made it happen. You won't be disappointed. read more

Leah did my daughter's hair and makeup for her prom. She did an amazing job! My daughter looked absolutely beautiful and was so happy with it all - and if you know teen girls, that is a big feat! I am an event planner and do many events - Leah will be my go to makeup and hair specialist for my clients from now on! Oh, and she does house calls! read more

I absolutely love Leah. She is amazing with cut and color! I also get to enjoy her mobile service which is very convenient with my busy schedule. If you are looking for someone who is creative with cut and color and professional you need to call Leah! read more

I found Leah here on yelp, and after reading all her wonderful reviews I decided to give her a call. It was about a month before my wedding, and I was worried that I was running out of time. Leah assured me we had plenty of time, and set up a trial. I loved the trial, so I booked her to do my hair, as well as a few bridesmaids. She came to the venue, worked with and around the makeup artist and did a beautiful job on everyone's hair! She was very reasonably priced too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair done for a special event! read more

I was fortunate to find Leah when I attended a special event in a city close to Phoenix. She did my make up in a way that made me look beautiful, but I didn't feel it was overdone, as can so easily happen. She was kind, patient, and clearly very experienced. And the photos taken at the event ... well, I will say that the other women who also used Leah looked particularly great in and out of the photos! Probably a lot of her work is wedding and other special events, and lucky are the women who find her! But if you're looking for a good make up session for photos or any other reason, call this lovely woman. She's truly an artist who serves women. read more

Leah was quick and extremely professional. I went in for a trim & style and she had me out and looking great in less than 45 minutes. I will definitely be returning to her again! read more

Dear ladies! Please allow me to strongly recommend Leah as your make-up artist for important life events. You won't regret. Besides her taste and great sense of style, Leah is also very punctual, which is essential on your special day. She came early, organized and ready for the busy day. I had 6-7 women awaiting for the beauty treatment. Before starting each session Leah checked with every one of us on the color and style preference. My expectations? I wanted the most memorable 'glamour' look. I cannot describe my excitement when I saw the results. I felt so youthful, ready to walk into my future, ready to be happy and pose for the cameras. I felt my best! Is not it the most important feeling on your special day? Later on I looked at my favorite women at the party and saw the glow and beauty. It was the beauty re-created and improved by Leah's special touch. I think she got it perfectly. Laughter, smiles, picture taking, dancing! Beautiful day! Dear Leah, thank you for your skills, and talent, and for the beauty you've created! read more

I had her booked for the 3 events I had for my wedding and reception party. I had given her deposit of 150 with the trial to check for makeup and hairstyle. From the first meeting, she was nice. During the trial, I did not like that she couldn't show me what any hairstyle would look like. We did 2 different hairstyles and 2 different makeup looks. None of the styles or looks I could finalize from what she did. Which was okay as it was a trial. Towards the end, she became antsy as she had to leave and told me if she would stay longer, it will be expensive for me. I had my mother in the room to tell me how I looked and when my mother didn't like the certain things, she chose to ignore her. When I told her to do less smokey on my eye, instead of fixing the makeup she had done, all she did was to tell me verbally "ok". To show me how the lashes would look since they were included in my trial, she applied one lash to my left eye and did not glue it. I saw how I looked with 'lash' and I told her I would be good with it. She put the lash back in the plastic box which she took with her. Not a problem for me but that was our trial and she left after that. I got a new invoice from her since I wanted extensions done as well. I chose to buy my own extensions seeing her prices so I could reduce the price, which she did take off from the invoice but then she also added a "new price" for using lashes on trial. That's what ticked me off, I should not have to pay for trying one lash that she didn't even glue and I am sure she used it on someone else or sonewhere.. just because I chose to get my own extensions, she suddenly realized she had to add that charge which wasn't there before. After this incident, I decided to cancel her and I feel I wasted my 150 bucks that I could have used somewhere better. I am sure she might be talented and did great with other people but with me, she didnt show her skills. She was trying to hurry and, not very warm and then to add prices like that. Definitely not okay!! I will not recommend her to anyone! And Leah! Please smile a little more.. it makes a huge difference to your customers, and not just the ones you know. read more

Leah is incredible!! She has curled my hair for many occasions and I walk away very satisfied each time!! My mom gets her hair cut by Leah and feels the same way as well. She is always on time and dedicates herself to do her best! Her passion for hair and makeup shows in her own self as well! I HIGHLY recommend Leah!! Call her now! read more

Leah is everything you want in a hair stylist and make up artist--professional, punctual, and creative! Leah has done my mother and I's hair for a couple of years and, in March, she did the bridal party's hair for my (now) sister in law's wedding. I loved my hair as usual (half up with curls) and so did the rest of the bridal party. Moreover, her attention to detail is impressive. My sister in law wanted an updo and Leah recommended that the bridesmaids have their hair down or half up because the contrast would look better in photos. I would have never realized or thought of that and was impressed with her foresight!! read more

Leah Joy was Awesome! She arrived on time and gave me a gorgeous blowout for my event. She has a wonderful way about her that's calm & relaxing. I will definitely use Leah again and I highly recommend her! read more

Leah has great communication skills and is punctual, which is very important to me. The reason for the three stars is the Makeup did not last as long as a needed it to even though she assured me that it would and she did not blend my face and neck adequately...something I noticed afterwards. Though I would not recommend her, I do think she does her best and wish her luck in her business. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Leah!! I hired her to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day and everything turned out exactly how I imagined. Prior to my wedding day, we discussed details of what I was envisioning. She was on time, completely professional and her eye for detail was on point!! Now, she is my hair dresser!! Her color/cuts always look bomb!! I would definitely recommend her!!! read more

Leah Joy did my make-up for my sister-in-laws wedding! Before meeting her I was nervous because I had not had great experiences with others doing my make-up.....However after meeting her I knew I was in good hands! She was so pleasant & sweet to work with!!! She made great suggestions for my look and even made me, my sister and my sister in law all look amazing & different!!! I will definitely use her in the future and highly recommender her if you have something special coming up! read more

Leah was fantastic! I had an event on a Sunday and she arrived at my home on time. She styled my hair and did my make up. So convenient and I would use her anytime!

Leah was so wonderful! I contacted her the morning I needed my makeup done for my maternity photo shoot I had later that day (nothing like waiting til the last minute!). I left her a message (she was with a client) and she got back to me within 10 minutes - great customer service! Lucky for me, she was able to squeeze me in exactly when I needed her. She even came to my house, which was so convenient! Leah did a fabulous job on my makeup. I usually wear very light makeup and didn't want to look overdone. Leah listened to my requests, had some suggestions, and my makeup ended up looking flawless! It was exactly the look I was going for. I would definitely use Leah again! Highly recommend! read more

Leah is a true professional who has the ability to make you feel beautiful and confident for your big event. I have experieced some make up disasters from "professionals" in the past so I was hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. I definitely got the best!!!! Leah arrived early for the appointment which helped to ease my stress since I was on a very tight timeline. She listened to my requests for the look I was going for and delivered it perfectly. The airbrush make up application was perfect. It was very light and glowy and lasted the whole night until I washed my face at midnight. I was a little sceptical about the lashes since no one has ever been able to get that quite right. Leah is the first person ever to apply lashes that are just the right length and weight. I completly forgot I had them on until one started to lift the next day. I highly recommend Leah for her professionalism, talent and efficiency. read more
