Alison and Krista were a dream team. After my initial trial run, I knew that I had made the right choice. They are friendly, warm, optimistic, good communicators, and professional. They arrived to our house early in the day to get me and my bridesmaids ready. Both Alison and Krista were very attentive to what we wanted and their execution of the "natural look" we had requested exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them for any brides in the area!

Alison (makeup) and Kendra (hair) did an AMAZING job making my bridesmaids and I feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Not only did everyone look stunning, but Alison and Kendra were incredibly professional, both on the wedding day and in my earlier hair/makeup trials, and they went above and beyond to make sure I looked my best. When I mentioned that my skin was giving me trouble, Alison introduced me to her line of skincare products, and my skin was perfect by the wedding day. I've been using it ever since, and my skn has never felt better! And when I decided that I wanted to try a different hairstyle for my wedding day, Kendra was kind enough to offer me a second hair trial. Then, on the morning of the wedding, they arrived 15 minutes early so that everything would be perfect and ready when my bridesmaids arrived. To top it all off, they were both tons of fun to be around and helped keep things light as we all got ready for the day. Basically, Alison and Kendra were awesome from the moment I met them!!! I would HIGHLY recommend them to other brides. Thanks so much, Alison and Kendra!

Alison was very flexible, helpful and quick to respond with answers to any of the questions I had about preparing for my makeup on my big day. She was very thorough in my makeup trial which really helped me envision what my makeup would look on the day of my wedding. The best part about the makeup was it looked very natural without looking overdone. Subtle touches really helped my facial features stand out. Alison was very professional, on time, and very friendly!

I am a professional photographer and have worked with Alison. It is a true pleasure to work with a make-up artist who listens to her client's needs. She also understands the needs of the photographer and how make-up affects the photos. I highly recommend her as a person to work with and as an artist whose talents are outstanding. David Land
