Marqui is amazing, artistic and 100 percent reliable. I found her a month before my wedding and she…read moreimmediately made me feel comfortable over the phone. She also gave me hair and nail recommendations. She knows key people in the business. She made a call for me two weeks before my wedding and hooked me up last minute to someone who could do my hair. Marqui came to my home and my partner and I immediately connected with her again in person. She is lovely. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for a solo gig or a large wedding. Her calm demeanor, make-up expertise and the connection we had with her made our wedding day even better. As she worked with me it was clear she was truly an artist. She is very open to ideas and a great listener too. She is also super organized with her communication portal/text messages. I can't say enough!

During the trail she asked a lot of questions to make sure the look was exactly what I wanted for the wedding. On the day of my wedding, she had the exact look down and it turned out perfect. I would highly recommend her to everyone, especially if you are having a Whidbey island wedding.

Yessie is so kind and thoughtful. She traveled to do my hair and makeup on site for my wedding and…read moreshe also took care of the groom (Wes said for days his eyebrows have never looked so good :) ). She left me with some lipstick for touch ups later in the day which I had not expected and I really, really appreciated. Every moment with Yessie is calm and collected and she was so pleasant to be around during my trial session before my engagement photos and on my wedding day. Yessie was always flexible and tried out different hairstyles with me at my trial. She was really patient and we felt awful when Wes forgot to bring down her final payment from our room to pay her on our wedding day.. so she had to wait until we could send my brother to our room to find the envelope we had prepared for her. In the end, we finally got it to her in-person, despite some confusion over where to find her when she stepped out for lunch but she took the delay in stride and never showed any impatience or unhappiness with us to which I am forever grateful. Really embarrassing for me to share, but I just really wanted to thank Yessie and explain just how perfect she was to us despite our hiccups. Thanks Yessie for being so fantastic and understanding!

TL;DR: Do NOT book with her…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience and feel obligated to warn others. I booked this hair and makeup artist last year for my August 2026 wedding and paid a deposit to secure my date. Everything seemed fine at the time of booking, but when I reached out in January to schedule my trial, I received no response. I followed up multiple times over the course of four months via email, text, and phone calls--ignored every time. My wedding planner also attempted to contact her on my behalf, with no success. At this point, it is clear this is not a case of a missed message or temporary delay--Yessie ghosted me as a client. Because of this, I was forced to find and book a new hair and makeup artist under time pressure, adding unnecessary stress during what is already a busy planning period. To make matters worse, I never received my deposit back. For other future brides out there, please do not let Yessie scam you. Taking a client's deposit and then completely disappearing without any communication or services rendered is unacceptable.

Absolutely blown away by her talent! She was such a sweetheart too. Her place was easy to find and…read moreshe was very punctual. Her work station was clean and she sanitized everything and used new makeup tools when necessary. She was masked up the whole time if thats something important to you during this time in our world. She is so sweet and very personable. I was comfortable the entire time and gave her free rein of my face and she did not disappoint. She asked my opinion on my hair and again I just mentioned what I like (loose beach waves) and she nailed it. I highly recommend seeking her out for your hair and makeup for any event you may be planning. I was beyond happy! I saw her in Washington State

I've been going to Timaree for YEARS after being referred to by a close friend!! I've never had…read moresomeone listen so closely to my desires and wishes and produce exactly what I've asked! No matter what picture I show her or weird explanation I give her she's always done her best to produce exactly that! Not only is she good at what she does, she's also super personable and funny, making the experience both enjoyable and relaxing. Timaree has cut my hair, colored my hair, styled my hair, done my make up, and has also taken my senior photos as well as a random fun photo shoot (she can basically do EVERYTHING!!!!) which is hard to find. She is actually going to be doing my sisters bridal makeup as well as my bridesmaid make up and hair for my sisters upcoming wedding this summer. I'll update my review then!
