I got married in Big Sur in August 2023 and was VERY happy with my choice of Ashley/Blush for hair and makeup. I live in Los Angeles and am into fashion and beauty, so my standards are pretty high in terms of what I expect out of execution, detail, and elegance for my hair and makeup. At the same time, I'm a down-to-earth person and the last thing I wanted was a snooty or high-glam vibe from my stylist on my wedding day. Ashley was the perfect fit. She listened carefully to what I wanted, asked for inspiration photos for myself and everyone in my bridal party, took over 6 hours on my trial making everything just perfect, helped me figure out what kind of hair extensions to purchase, took a long list of suggestions from me about subtle changes I wanted to make for the actual wedding day, and executed them all perfectly. Ashley even volunteered to take home my hair extensions after the trial, wash them, and prepare them for the wedding day. She is fast and responsive over email, accommodating of requests, and very reasonably priced compared to other artists in the area. And best of all she doesn't come off like an annoying LA-type stylist. She is actually someone I would be friends with. She fit in really well with my friends and family, knew just when to laugh along with us and when to be quiet/contemplative to match my changing moods on the day of my wedding. My overall look was romantic, fresh, pretty, elegant, and natural but glamorous. The rest of her team was great as well--we had two different getting ready locations and they covered them both, and really listened to what each member of the bridal party wanted. Ashley and her team go the extra mile and as a Type A bride, she is someone I would work with again if only she lived closer to LA! Thanks Ashley!

I couldn't be happier with Ashley and her team! From the moment we met during our trial, she was warm, inviting, and had such a calming presence. She opened the door for feedback very early on to make sure I felt comfortable with making any tweaks to my hair and makeup.

I wore extensions for the first time ever during my trial for the wedding. She understood exactly how to work with my hair (that hardly ever holds a curl) to extend the life of the curls over a long period of time.

My makeup was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I wanted it to feel warm, but not glammy. I wanted to enhance my natural features and feel like "me." She pushed me a little outside of my comfort zone with a tone of lipstick during the trial that I ended up LOVING and it went so well with my dress, so we went for that color and it looked fantastic in all of the photos.

Most importantly, on the wedding day, Ashley and her team were the first ones there setting up, and she was such a calming presence throughout the morning and helped make getting ready so much fun.

Thank you so much, Ashley and team!

Ashley is amazing! She helped me think through multiple completely different hair and makeup looks for my wedding (since I am very indecisive!) and struck a great balance between supportive of whatever I chose while also giving me great feedback on what would look great with my venue and dress. My whole wedding party was thrilled with their hair and makeup, and the experience of working together was fun and relaxing. And of course, I LOVED how I looked on my wedding day! I got so many compliments on my hair and felt beautiful. One specific thing I noticed is that my skin looked better than it's looked with any other makeup artist I've tried - there was no element of cakiness and I felt like I was glowing. I highly recommend Ashley & her team for your wedding!!!
