I…read morefound Tiffany on a "Top HMUA in Denver" list, and after messaging several prospects, she was one of the few that actually got back to me! I love how clear, organized, and transparent she is about the booking process. She really nailed that first impression. For the company I was shooting with, the only time slot available was 8am. UGH, so early. Without any complaints or grumbling, Tiffany showed up at my apartment bright and early at 6am. She's so easygoing and accommodating. I felt so relaxed and confident going into the photoshoot, I'd forgotten how empowering it is to be around other women. My last shoot involved dark and gothy makeup, so Tiffany went for a light and pink look, which I absolutely loved! I love how versatile her skillset is, and I'll definitely be hiring her again in the future. From weddings to boudoir shoots, Tiffany seems like she can do it all. Thanks for being so wonderful to work with at such a crucial time in my life!

She has always been kind, professional, polite, prompt and a good communicator. I'm always picky with the resulting hair and makeup, and she's quick to tweak any styling to my clients' tastes. My clients rave about her technique, color choices and personality. She is the first person I call when I book a client, and I'm always disappointed if she's available. Now that she has her own aesthetics studio (currently at El Salon), I'm frequently referring clients to her for a pre-session facial and dermaplane. She is sought-after by brides and commercial clients alike. Lynn Clark, denverboudoirphotos.com

Throughout the planning process, Kylie & Sydni were very responsive and flexible with any changes I made.

The salon itself was bright, filled with great energy, and overall very pleasing to the eye. Totally in love with the aesthetic and positive atmosphere of the salon! You can tell there is passion and care put into the place by not only the owner but the stylists too! The stylist are all very kind, very pretty, and they all present their business in a professional manner Before I came in, I told Toni what I wanted and she immediately replied with inspiration photos... they were exactly what I was looking for. I'm so happy because I let Toni express herself and her creativity and she came out with something beyond my high expectations! She was very informative on the product she used, and excited to fix my hair. I can't express enough how thankful I am for her patience with all of this hair! I'm so obsessed and happy with my hair cut, balayage, moisture treatment, everything. And I never trust anyone with my curly hair but I'm so happy I went for it and trusted her. I'm definitely going to be a returning client. Love, love, love Beauty Bee Salon

Candelaria Beauty should work on transparency and honesty with prospective clients. I submitted an…read moreinquiry to Candelaria about a month ago and received an immediate response and talked with Cassie the same day. At the time we spoke, she stated that other people had inquired about my date, but something should work (even going as far as to say that people with my wedding planner got some sort of preference). The phone call ended with her saying she would send me a proposal that evening. When the proposal did not come, I followed up one week later and received no response. Two weeks later, I received an email from Cassie saying that after our phone call she realized that she could not put together a team for me, followed by some boilerplate rhetoric about how she wants only people she knows that can fit my wedding needs to help me. This email honestly came too late. If there was any issue with availability that needs to be immediately communicated. The wedding industry can be complex and stressful. Especially, when it comes to ensuring availability of the vendors you want. Waiting this long to express an availability issue put me at a disadvantage for reaching out to other vendors (I have done so but after speaking with Candelaria they were my top pick and I wanted to wait for a proposal). This all comes after I expressed to Candelaria that scheduling makeup was my biggest wedding stressor. After this experience, their concern for their customers and interest in their "special day" rings hollow. From other reviews, this seems to be a common theme. This practice is unprofessional and hurts people. They seem really nice and like they are talented makeup artists. However, they need to work on their communication and transparency instead of stringing prospective clients along.

Like, I'm calling b/c I need the service (and I'm super busy right now) so you don't need to sell it to me. But I need to know how much you charge so I can compare it to other quotes I have. Bad business model, IMO. Sad b/c their photos look great.

I am telling you hands down she is the BEST makeup artist in the Bay Area (and surrounding…read morevicinity) When it came to hair and makeup for my wedding I knew what I wanted..to look like the best me i could be. I did a lot of research online about makeup artists in the bay area and decided that there were a few that sounded like they really knew what they were doing, and so I figured I should give them all a try. I booked trials (on the same day) just to be able to compare and pick the best. My fiancé (now husband) came along with me for my trials. I had some disappointing experiences that day, and then we went to see Myrium. Right off the bat my husband was "hands down you need to have Myrium do your makeup on the day of the wedding" Not only did he love her work (which says a lot) I was completely impressed as well. Do yourself a favor and have a trial done by her if your looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, I promise you will not be disappointed. Her and her team are super friendly and professional as well which is a big plus. She def. knows how to give you that flawless look every bride is looking for on their big day. Can't say enough great things about her and her work!

Myrium is one of the most talented make up artists and good hearted people I have ever met! Myrium…read moredid my makeup and hair for my wedding and reception. We had a trial and a styling appointment beforehand, where I described the look I was going for, and she gave many useful tips and suggestions on how we can achieve it. Fast forward to the wedding day- Myrium was very punctual. We had organized for her to bring 2 assistants along to do my family members' hair and makeup, however one of the assistants did not show as her car broke down. Myrium was very apologetic and made sure that she and the other assistant got everybody ready on time. Myrium made me look like a princess on my wedding day, and kept me so calm while she was working on my hair and makeup. I was stunned at the outcome, and everyone could not stop complimenting my subtle yet striking bridal makeup and beautiful updo for the morning ceremony. I had one hour between the wedding ceremony and reception for Myrium to completely change my look- she re-did my hair and makeup quickly and efficiently, and gave me a totally new dazzling look for the evening. I do not have enough good things to say about my experience with her- she is AMAZING. I consider her one of my best wedding vendors. If you are looking for a reliable and professional make up artist who is also great to talk to, I HIGHLY recommend Myrium.

My experience with Pauline was grade A service. I asked her to do both junior daughters who would…read morebe in the wedding (one hair only, the other hair and make up, ages 11 and 13) and of course hair and make up for myself (the bride). She went above and beyond. I did the trial with the preteens and they went first, but when it was my turn they became antsy. I felt rushed and she also had another appointment after me. After a few days, she touched base to see how the make up wore throughout the day. I asked her for another trial and she happily agreed, this time without the kiddos. We were able to play around a bit more and get the make up part of it right. Then on my wedding day, she came on time, my daughters went first again. My mom was in the room and she's disabled with multiple sclerosis. She fell out of her chair because her walker that has a seat broke on her. Dear Pauline who was miraculously an at-home care provider in her last career, got her up off the ground safely with my groom who was there when it happened. Then she suggested Instacart to get a new chair delivered. (Who would think Instacart could do that??) Because of her, my mom's replacement walker came within the hour and a very big crisis had been adverted. On top of all that, my mom wanted to give her a cash tip, but she wouldn't take it. I know this is beyond the normal work for a hair and make up artist, but it meant so much on a day that was so important. If I could I would give her 10 stars.
