I didn't think I would bless with amazing HMU artists for both my Hawaii and New York wedding…read morecelebrations, but I can confidently say that I was. When I came across Tatiana's Instagram page, she instantly became my top HMU choice. I even fell in love with one of the hairstyles that she posted, and I was dying to have it for my wedding reception. Sadly, her services were pricier than I had hoped. After pondering about it for a bit, I decided that it is an investment and I would have regrets if I didn't choose Tatiana. So I quickly booked her and even scheduled a HMU trial too. Through our online communications, I discovered Tatiana was very responsive, detailed, straightforward, and professional. You won't believe how many HMU artists lack some of these traits. When we met for the first time at my HMU trial in her Ktown studio, I was surprised by how funny and friendly she is in person. The trial went really well, and my decision to go with her was further validated. I liked that she constantly made sure I was happy with what she was doing instead of waiting until she was done with everything to check in with me. She was very receptive to feedback and made corrections swiftly. Whenever she had a better idea, she made it known gently. For example, she used cluster lashes on me so they're a lot more comfortable than the usual falsies. The communication didn't stop there though. After the trial, she emailed me asking for additional feedback and to see how the HMU look held up after I left her studio. I decided to ask her to change the style of my bangs and make the updo higher. Though we didn't get to test out these new asks first, she implemented the changes really well. We both loved the wedding day look more than the trial. Aside from great communication, she is also very punctual. Tatiana and her partner arrived early at my hotel even though it was already an early start. The only unfortunate event was that both my mom and sister-in-law weren't happy with their hairstyles, which were done by Tatiana's partner. I think this could've easily been solved if they listened and prepared inspo pictures in advance, so I don't think Tatiana's team is to blame. My makeup stayed pretty intact throughout my wedding reception, but a piece of hair did get loose. It wasn't a big deal though.

Tatiana and her team are incredible! They made me and my bridal party feel like absolute queens on…read moremy wedding day. Every look was flawless, and whimsical (which was the vibe I wanted). They were so fun, easy to work with & made us feel so comfortable. Our hair and makeup stayed perfect all day (even through tears and dancing!), and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help us get ready. Tatiana, did my hair and makeup and she is just amazing & so talented, I will definitely be using her for future events. She understood my vision and I easily trusted her. I cannot thank her and her team enough for making us all feel so beautiful--you're the best!

Lucy did both mine and my partner's hair and my makeup for our elopement. Not only did she do a…read morebeautiful job for both of us but we really enjoyed chatting with her while we got ready. Lucy is such a warm and personable person! From the beginning Lucy was friendly via email and answered all of my questions and responded in a timely fashion. Lucy was made sure she asked us a lot of questions about our preferences and helped us with options when we weren't sure exactly what we wanted. She also helped me put my veil on. She arrived at our hotel room in a timely fashion. I also loved that there were elopement packages that were less expensive than a full wedding day package and that there was a men's package since my partner has extra long hair. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend the services of Miss Harlequin!

I am a huge make-up fanatic and can do my own make-up so I am a huge critic when others do my face + hair. When I called to book an appointment, she said she moved to the bay area and I thought JACKPOT!! My cousin got married in Sonoma Valley and we hired her and her team for hair and make-up. We decided to go with the platinum package. IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!!! I asked if Cindy could do my makeup cause I wanted to look extra ON POINT!! 9am: Cindy arrived ON TIME, with her team of 3...a total of 4 people. We had 4 bridesmaids and of course the bride! We finished at about 12pm, Cindy took her time and was patient with me and my particular requests. As I mentioned, I am very picky when it comes to my own make-up, I had to look perfectly contoured! I surprisingly had the best experience, and I highly recommend Cindy and her team if you are looking for talented and professional services!!

Will try to give my honest feedback from my experience with Rahel. I got the entire package from…read moredress, makeup, and photography. I will say I had a great experience with hair/makeup and dress but photography was such a horrible experience. We saw sample pictures beforehand and decided to go with Rahel but the pictures we actually got were no where near what we were given. I will preface and say that we were pre-warned that we were double booked that day and were not going to get the main photographer,however, I am not just upset at the quality of photos but just the lack of professionalism that followed. We ended up taking studio photos that day with the main photographer which actually were edited and came out nice, however, the pictures taken at the venue were terrible with the other photographers. Many of the pictures looked like we were inside a club due to horrible flash. Many pictures we were washed out with flash directly in our faces. Not just that but barely none were edited. We just got a photo dump of nearly 7 gbs of just raw pictures. We hired photography to get professional pictures but we just ended up with a photo dump of just raw photos and terrible ones at that. The worst part is I tried emailing the group about my concerns 3 times with NO response and am just amazed at their unprofessionalism with their clients. I guess once they have your money they just have no regard for you. If at least there was some dialogue about the situation I don't think I would have been as upset but the fact that before the wedding they were very responsive to the silence that followed afterwards is just what is very upsetting.

I came to her for hair and makeup ahead of my marketing photoshoot, and what I walked away with was so much more than a great look.

From our very first conversation -- whether by phone or email -- JoAnn was attentive, kind, and completely professional. She made me feel like my vision mattered before we even sat down together. And when the day arrived, she brought that same energy into every moment of our session. She didn't just prep my skin and get to work. She talked with me. She explained what she was doing and why. She made it clear that her clients' feeling connected to the process is something she genuinely cares about -- and you feel that care in everything she does. JoAnn truly listened to what I wanted and understood it completely. Her talent is extraordinary -- she has a deep understanding of skin types, shades, and hair that very few artists possess.

JoAnn's prices are fair and well within industry standard, and I promise you, what you invest comes back to you tenfold in how she makes you look and feel. If you are searching for someone who will treat you with professionalism, warmth, and real artistry, please do not hesitate. Book JoAnn Solomon.
