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. ;)

The end result, FLAWLESS. I can't get over how flawless I looked. My face did not feel overly "caked" nor did it look "cakey". She gave me that summer glow. I must add, eyebrows are a big thing to me. No other way to say it, she made my eyebrows look point. I'm very picky. Comparing other makeup artists I've gone to.... I've literally cried in a makeup artists chair before. From looking like I had pounds and pounds of makeup on my face to having two black eyes. Do not hesitate to book with her for one second just because she may be new in the game. Hands down, her work speaks for itself. You will never leave disappointed. So much talent! Btw, you're beautiful with the personality to match. You're the best and I can't wait to get my face beat by you again.

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.

Samantha did amazing! She understood exactly what I wanted, and it looked so much more amazing then I could even dream! She even explained to me different ways to do my makeup and techniques to apply things! I had no idea! The makeup that she uses is top quality! Lasted all day/night without any touch ups! I am definitely going to be coming back to Samantha for any and all makeup needs I have! She is amazing, and I highly recommend her!

Wow, just wow! Samantha had serious talent.

We were all so amazed just watching her work. Every brush stroke was like watching a true artist. We all looked simply amazing, but the best part was that it looked so natural. You didn't look at any of us and think "wow I see a makeup line" instead it was a flawless transition from where the makeup was applied to our natural skin color. Our eyes were stunning as well. It lasted all night, even through tau eyed vows and toasts. If you are thinking of hiring her please do it. You will not be disappointed, plus she is an absolute sweetheart and so fun to have around while you are getting ready. Total bonus!

I had my lips done by Kathy in 2023 and although I've had permanent make up on my lips from before…read moreshe charged me for a complete new treatment and charged me $150 for subsequent touchups of which I needed 2. I needed my lips touched up for a wedding this year and although it's only been two years and it's supposed to be permanent make up she charged me the full price of $450. Then there was a glitch in her payment method. Her secretary called me in a rage saying that I should come in immediately and pay my bill. It was a Saturday. I told her that I needed to check my credit card account first and see if the payment went through on my end. In the meantime, they figured out the glitch was not on my end but on theirs. Rather than using a credit card again through the phone I sent her a check. Now if she hadn't been talking so much (which she does incessantly) she would've noticed that her machine wasn't working because she kept me sitting there literally for 30 minutes listening to her complain about another customer before I finally said I had to leave. Her work is not bad. She just seems to make sure that touchups are needed - charging $150 for each. I would not use her again and will go elsewhere for my touchup which I need because the initial job was not very good.

I originally wrote a negative review after perm brows done by Kathy, but the mutual friend that…read morereferred me told me she called her very upset so I took it down. But I don't want anyone else to have my bad experience. I originally made the appt for eyeliner and she immediately told me over phone, sight unseen that I needed brows too. Well it's been probably 6-7 years since then of dealing with uneven brows and regretting having them done. She used what appeared to be black ink which turned blue quickly. Every time I have a picture taken I am shocked to see my brows. The left one is higher and has a bigger arch. In fact when Kathy did my 'after' pic and looked at her camera she made an audible gasp, quickly switched away from the pic and didn't show me. (Note that during her measuring she said that I had a very symmetrical face.) After the brows healed a bit, I talked to her about uneven areas, including the inner brows not matching in angle as well as some ink dots that were abnormal. She was snappy in her response, even arrogant. Knowing she had taken that pic previously and obviously didn't like what she saw, I can only think her negative response was her not wanting to admit her work wasn't good or not knowing how to fix it. As a few other reviews stated, Kathy talked way too much during the procedure which were some intense stories when you just want to be still and meditate thru the pain and to make sure her full attention is on her work. Also, her instructions were vague and she didn't explain what to expect as far as follow up as part of the initial cost. I've since learned from other perm brow artists that it takes a couple additional appointments as part of the procedure to do little adjustments, so I'm not sure why she acted arrogant about me saying they needed some areas tweaked. I never had a follow up to see her. Due to her attitude I honestly didn't feel comfortable letting her work on me again. I've spent an additional $1000 trying to get my brows fixed, but it's pretty much impossible unless I have laser done which is costly, takes several months and can cause scarring.
