Having The Queen's Bees as a part of our wedding day made it all the more special. When I went to…read moredo my hair and makeup trial, Jenn (makeup) and Kayla (hair) were so kind, that I knew they'd be the perfect addition for a relaxing morning getting ready for my wedding - and I was right! I loved being able to get ready with them, chat with them, and overall, it set the perfect mood for the day. Not only that, but from the trial to the day of, the makeup and hair was perfectly executed and were even better than I expected. Kayla even went above and beyond to make sure my veil was properly installed after a shuttle ride to our church ceremony venue, which I really appreciated. My bridesmaids, mom, aunt, and myself, had great looks that lasted all day, and we love that they made the day so great!

Jenn Hix of The Queens Bees did an amazing job arranging everything for everyone for my daughter's…read morewedding. Jenn did my make up for both the rehearsal dinner and then the makeup the following day for the wedding. I have VERY sensitive skin and I am allergic to everything. She had me bring my own make up and she applied it brilliantly. She even had eyelash extensions that I wasn't allergic to - that was a first! It was so tastefully done and not overdone. I got so many compliments both nights. It also lasted the entire day and night. It didn't run or smear - I just reapplied the lipstick. My daughter, the bride, looked amazing - just perfect and natural. Her eyes sparkled and her color palate was not overdone and also lasted the entire day. In addition, we got some proofs back and we didn't look orange or yellow. Jenn truly knows what she is doing! She is also so nice and kind and easy to talk to - very important for a stressful day. Jenn arranged for Jessi to do my hair and everyone else's as well. I showed Jessi pics of what I wanted, and she did it exactly. My hair also lasted the entire time and didn't move. We started at 8am: we had pictures, the wedding at 3:30pm and then we danced until 10 pm - a very long day. The hair was perfect even with the breeze and lots of dancing! I would highly recommend both of these lovely ladies. They are terrific! I rarely give 5 stars as I am very picky and exacting!

Leah from Dreamcatcher did my makeup for a wedding. My summary is a lack of professionalism. I…read moredon't know if she was having an off day, but here is what happened: First, she used a stale / moldy / expired airbrush makeup bottle. It had clearly been past its prime, just from the smell alone, and also had separated on my face. I pointed out the smell. She refused to acknowledge that there was a possibility the makeup had gone bad for some time, and when she finally agreed (and only because her other makeup artist said she could smell the airbrush makeup from across the room), she did not remove the rancid makeup, but instead layered more things on top of it. Instead of owning the issue and fixing it, she doubled down, wasted time, and didn't correct her mistake. Next, my lashes were on entirely crooked. My eyeliner was also crooked and mismatched (one wing pointed up and one wing pointed down). I had asked for winged eyeliner, and I understand that not every person knows how to do winged eyeliner. However, if you are a makeup artist and can't do winged eyeliner, you should probably tell your client that so they can choose something else. I had to fix these myself afterwards. She also added a bunch of wax to my eyebrows which left a lot of residue and visible clumps. Then, she offered to redo my makeup with my own products. Obviously, we were now short on time due to the rancid makeup fiasco. A very cursory and patchy application of my own foundation that was patchy and streaky followed. I had to redo the entire thing after she left. She came back the next day and did better - but I also didn't ask for winged eyeliner and avoided the airbrush foundation. The foundation application (of my own foundation) was still streaky and unblended. My guess is that Leah is not able to do makeup well on clients with darker skin because she wasn't able to color match correctly for different skin tones and undertones, and the problems just flowed from there. Her instagram and website also tells the same story. My experience with Leah also made me feel bad, not just because of the makeup issues but because of her attitude. It felt like she was blaming me for her shortcomings, and that I had to apologize to her for not liking the disaster she put on my face. This review is specific to Leah, and not any of the other artists that she employs or contracts out with. They were professional and delivered excellent work.

I did a hair and makeup trial with Leah for my engagement photos, and she incorporated the minor feedback I had into my wedding day hair and makeup. Overall, she understood the vibe I was going for and didn't overwhelm me as someone who essentially never does their makeup or hair. She was cool to talk to (we bonded over our shared love of owning chickens) and handled everyone's varying personalities and moods on the wedding day so well. I highly recommend you check out Dreamcatcher Artistry for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

I had gone to her a few times before for hair coloring and also did a bridal trial and just knew she was the right fit. I gave her some photos of looks that I liked and she was able to create something similar that was complementary for me. She helped me look more made up than a normal day but still like myself. Rhyan is also one the most friendly down to earth people I know. Her friendly and funny personality helped me enjoy the morning despite all of the stress. I'll definitely keep seeing Rhyan for my hair from now on and am so happy she was a part of my big day.

I met her about a month in advance for a hair and makeup trial to decide the bridal look together. She was so friendly and used her best professional judgement while listening to what I wanted (I am not a hair and makeup gal, so I appreciated her guidance!). Once we both were satisfied with the bridal glam, she took a couple photos of it and wrote some notes down to remember for the big day. On the big day, Sammy arrived at the crack of dawn and was actually a couple minutes early for the getting ready party. She worked for hours on all nine of us and made the whole vibe in the hotel room so fun and relaxed. I had a custom-made Hawaiian floral crown that we hadn't had for the bridal glam trial a month before. Sammy installed it like a pro and it looked amazing! She was one of my favorite vendors that we had the pleasure of working with during the wedding process. I highly recommend her!
