Trust me! Look through my reviews. I am harsh where deserved. I am giving only one 5 star rating for this wedding, and it is to Bonita Brides, the only outfit you should even remotely consider for your Austin area wedding. IF you are blessed enough that they aren't already booked!

Tracy was FANTASTIC - So chill to be around, excellent at hair and really affordable. She met us at…read morethe hotel where my two bridesmaids and I were watching the World Cup while getting ready for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. She started on a bridesmaid's hair first, then moved onto me (the other bridesmaid did not get her hair done). We looked great. One of the challenges with me is that I was a laid back bride and was not able to give a real concrete description of what I wanted. I had some general ideas of what I liked; something natural (no extensions), and something vintage (think Ingrid Bergman from the 40s) was really all the direction I gave her. Other challenges include having fine, curly hair that barely meets my shoulders. We had no trial run due to my busy schedule. And what she came up with on the spot was perfect. I couldn't be happier. (FYI - I did my own make up later on that day. if I can figure out how to post pictures, I will.)

Tracy was my makeup artist for my wedding in May 2009 and she did both mine and my mom's make up…read moreand hair for the special occassion. She also did the makeup for the bridal portrait. I chose Tracy over other makeup artists I had interviewed because she was open minded, creative and takes your concerns very seriously. She also works very well under pressure. My skin tone is yellowish since I am Chinese and I had always dreaded the brown eye makeup because the red makes me look like I have my eye punched. For my wedding, I wanted something colorful or very flattering of course. I love purple, gray, dark moss eye shadows and Tracy suggested purple to match my flowers. The other makeup artist simple refused to entertain the idea of non-brown eye shadow! I also wanted a ponytail like hair do instead of a big bun on top of my head. Tracy didn't even bat an eye lash and went at it during my trail session. My hair is very fine and straight. She curled with hot rollers and did her magic with some spray and made my borning straight hair into a modern pony tail with body and some delightful curls. The makeup and hair lasted all day and I called the next day to formally book her. On the wedding day, we were running a little bit behind because of various reasons that were not out of ordinary. My wedding planner (whom I will never recommend to anyone) was very rude to her. Asking her to hurry up. We were really not that late. I was not sure what the big deal was. Tracy ignored the rudeness and kept on going. She did my mom's makeup and hair first. It was a wonderful transformation. My mom is not used to hair or makeup at all. She is always very bare minimal. The hiccup was my mom's hair. It is chin length and permed. Instead of doing the total MOM hair do of making the perm more puffy. Tracy made it into an elegant updo!!!!! I LOVED IT. Mom was skeptical until all of her friends told her how good it looked. My mom's makeup was also understated but highlighted her features: eyes and cheekbones. My mom looked years younger! Tracy did my hair and makeup just like the trail run. She put on my veil and stayed throughtout the photo session before the ceremony to touch up my makeup. (there was a huge drama with a storm that the planner was not prepared for and Tracy sat there with me as a friend to calm me down!) I never had this many compliments. I guess people are supposed to compliment you on your wedding day. But I think they meant it. My makeup and hair lasted from 3pm to 3am! I have after party pictures to prove it! You really cannot get any better than Tracy who would come to you, do both hair and makeup, put up with your mom, wedding planner, and be a friend while touching up your makeup.

I had no idea really what I wanted going into the trail, but we worked together to create a wonderful result. She came to my hotel room, really listened to what I wanted, and totally delivered.. I really have never felt more beautiful. My hair and makeup stayed put long into the after party. My bridesmaids all looked incredible gorgeous. I highly recommend Mandy for any hair and makeup needs, especially for weddings.

Mandy is wonderful! I can honestly say that I never looked or felt more beautiful than I did on my…read morewedding day and that is all thanks to Mandy! Mandy spent extra time with me during my consultation and listened to all of my feedback about the things I really liked and the things I didn't want--when I left my consultation I felt 100% sure that I had made the right choice in choosing her and I knew she'd take good care of me on my wedding day. On the day of my wedding, Mandy came to my wedding venue and did my hair and makeup on site. As one can imagine, my nerves were running high that day and I was second guessing everything (my hair, my makeup, etc.) Mandy calmed me down and assured me that I looked beautiful and that I had made all the right decisions. Once my hair and makeup was done and I put on my wedding gown I was able to see that she was right! As I mentioned earlier, I never felt more beautiful! Mandy was recommended to me by two of my friends who used her for their weddings and now I will recommend Mandy to any future brides I talk to!

I was planning for travel to an event and connected with NP Beauty via a Facebook networking group…read more I was initially a bit wary and uncertain because I had seen pictures of Natalie's work, but nothing up close; and I am typically a eyebrow pencil and mascara only person! I was also going to be in an unfamiliar area. We chatted before my visit as I shared details about the event and the look I wanted; and sent her a picture of myself. Traffic was brutal, I was running late to the area with only two hours to prep and commute to the event. Needless to say, I was stressed to the max. But Natalie was patient, professional, worked quickly and gave me a look that was clean, covered my blemishes, made me look like a star in my photos and video! And the lip gloss neither smeared nor disappeared through the meal! NP Beauty is my MUA of choice and I wouldn't hesitate to contact Natalie again and bring her with me whenever I have events on the road!!!

After kids and aging...I felt like I just didn't know what to do anymore. He is extremely skilled at makeup. I've had my makeup done a gazillion times at department stores and a handful of times for events by a professional makeup artist. I've always left those experiences feeling like Tammy Faye and not myself. I LOVED what he did and was super happy. I felt pretty again. He was genuinely interested in teaching me, making sure I knew how to do these things after he left. He would do one side, explaining each step and would show me, and then would have me do the other side. I couldn't recommend him more, it was a great experience! He's definitely my permanent go-to for makeup now.
