Monica was such a pleasure to work with!! I hired Monica for bridal makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. She was super flexible and easy to work with and was able to arrange an assistant so all 7 of us could have our makeup done in a few hours. Monica and her assistant were a great addition to our getting ready party. Friendly, funny and down to earth. Most importantly, everyone looked beautiful and loved their makeup!

Our pre-wedding photos were to start at 3:30pm, so Monica and her assistant were at the venue by 10am to get started. Myself and 4 bridesmaids were to have hair and make up done so I was a little worried about the time frame, but between Monica and her assistant working together with the ladies doing hair, everything ran very smoothly which I was very relieved about. Also with each girl that sat down in her makeup chair, she asked them up front their do’s and dont’s which put us at ease. It was nice she took the time to talk with each of us before starting and the final results showed. Each girls make up was a little different to accentuate their features. Then I saw my final look and I was beyond happy. She also took a before and after photo too which was pretty amazing! During the process she was easy to talk to and had a good sense of humor about things which helped with my nervousness about the whole day. She was prompt, prepared, open to preferences, and all with a very positive attitude and the best part of all being affordable. All of us looked very glitz and glamour which made the pics come out beautifully. She even made these little containers for each of the girls that had extra lip color to reapply throughout the night! I would highly recommend Monica Hayes for any kind of make up needs, she’s the best!

Monica made both my mother and MIL feel comfortable, confident and beautiful as two people who aren’t used to full-face makeup. As for myself, I love the natural look Monica gave me that looked effortless and perfect for our intimate 10AM backyard ceremony and lasted all the way through dinner and into the evening - all on a hot July day in Florida!
