She is hands down the best makeup artist in the bizz and I can not recommend her more! My makeup always looks flawless and lasts throughout the day/evening.

Working with Ashley Fierro Makeup was a game-changer. In our initial phone consultation, Ashley…read morelistened to my concerns from past experiences (I'd done 8 makeup trials prior!) and explained things in a way that made me feel understood and heard. She walked me through why certain products are used, provided options for my skin type, and helped me find the balance I wanted between makeup that lasts all day but still looks fresh in person. She paired me with Eileen for my trial, who was wonderful. Eileen listened to me patiently, made thoughtful suggestions, and created the exact look I went with on my wedding day. I felt like the best version of myself--elevated and polished, but still natural. She did an amazing job with my eyes (a big concern of mine) and found a way to make them look open and bright, which I loved. My bridesmaids were also thrilled with their makeup and we all felt beautiful and confident. On top of the artistry, Ashley runs her business like a pro. Everything from scheduling, contracts, and payments was seamless and electronic. She also goes the extra mile by posting on social media to celebrate her brides and sending a handwritten thank you note in the mail. Those little details made me feel special and showed how much she values her clients. I'm truly grateful to Ashley and her team!

Ashley, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for taking me on and being exceptional in…read moreevery way. I truly loved every moment with you and will always think of you being a part of the greatest day of my life. I got married on 9/19/25 and Ashley was my MUA. I remember the trial going so smoothly. She was easy to talk to and clearly knew exactly what she was doing. Sometimes you're looking for an expert, sometimes you're looking for someone you vibe with. Ashley was both. In addition to her amazing talent as a makeup artist, Ashley gave me recommendations for hair stylists and spray tans when I asked, created a whole day-of timeline for getting ready, had tons of tips for what was important and what was not, and became my stepdaughter's new best friend. :) Ashley was also transparent about a difficult situation she was in when I first inquired, and it never showed in her professionalism and preparedness. On the day, she took me aside for a moment to give me a chance to breathe - it felt like having a big sister there to calm you down. I was so appreciative of how thoughtful that moment was. If you book with Ashley, you will not regret it. She is an excellent communicator, is thorough and organized (without being overbearing), and I hope she is available to do makeup for me again in the future! Her associate was also fantastic - she had great energy and was checking in with Ashley to make sure they were on the same page. The makeup between the two of them was indistinguishable, so you can trust that if you need a second artist, like I did, Ashley will bring someone just as talented as her! Of all my wedding vendors, Ashley was my favorite to work with. I trusted her reviews (which were exceptional) and I'm so glad that I did. You will be, too. ;)

I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled upon Adrianne but I am SO glad that I did…read more I booked Adrianne for my wedding makeup and did my bridal preview the day of my engagement shoot just so I can see how everything photographed and I could make adjustments as needed for the actual wedding. Adrianne was so warm and friendly, her makeup skills are unparalleled and she made me feel beautiful for both my engagement shoot and wedding. Adrianne was so amazing that I actually booked her for a boudoir shoot for my one year wedding anniversary. Adrianne has a way of enhancing your natural beauty so you still feel and look like yourself. I literally love Adrianne so much and will 1000000% reach out to her for any future beauty needs

Do not hesitate to book her for your wedding or special event!

She helped my vision come to life and somehow elevated it to something even better. A dog bit my face the night before my wedding and I was certainly nervous about covering it up.. and Claire made it look like it was never there, and still left a flawless finish! I can't believe how talented she is as an artist and how kind, fun, calming, and empowering she is as a person. I would hire her 10000 times over.

Kristen did an amazing job with my wedding makeup and hair! She was professional and communicative…read more She also managed her time well, and, most importantly, she was a very calming presence! She checked in with me a few times to ask how I was doing and if I was getting nervous. Her kind personality helped my stay calm and in the moment. I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out, and my mom and brother's girlfriend love their hair and makeup as well. I showed her pictures and she was able to replicate the look on me very easily. Our wedding was at 11 AM so she had to get there pretty early to fit the 3 of us in, and she showed up right on time with all her products! She had everything setup within minutes and got right to work. I highly recommend Kristen! She is very talented and kind.

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Shauna and her team at The Girls Beauty Bar…read more After having a horrible hair and makeup experience with a previous artist in December, I was extremely nervous trying to find someone new so close to my March wedding Shauna immediately made me feel comfortable and cared for. She even took time while she was on vacation to message back and forth with me to set up my trial, which already showed how dedicated and thoughtful she is. She was able to schedule my trial on my birthday! On the wedding day, Shauna, Amber, and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible. They made all of my girls feel so beautiful, and I've already had bridesmaids tell me that if they ever need professional hair and makeup again, they would want to use them. Personally, I have never felt so pretty in my life. Shauna and Amber truly did an outstanding job on my hair and makeup, and I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Even when we needed to add another bridesmaid hair appointment closer to the wedding date, the communication stayed amazing and everything was handled so smoothly. Every time I show people my wedding photos, they compliment my hair and makeup and how beautifully everything photographed. I'm so beyond grateful for this team and would recommend them over and over again!
