    Outstanding

    Canaan was great to work with through the process. She did a wonderful job on my bridesmaids, mom, and mother of the groom. I absolutely loved how my look turned out the day of the wedding! She did a beautiful job with my hair and makeup.

    Absolutely Flawless!!

    Canaan is so sweet and professional, she was so flexible during Covid as we switched our date and worked with me on what to do for my hair and makeup. Wedding day was so much fun with her around, and she made me feel so beautiful and exactly what I wanted!!

    So glad I had Canaan on my wedding day!

    Canaan is an amazing makeup artist and hair stylist. The trial run was perfect because I didn't really know what I wanted besides "updo and flawless complexion." Canaan knew exactly what would look best on me and the trial turned out perfect. On my wedding day, Canaan also did makeup for my mother, sister, and MIL and all were extremely happy (including my sister who hates makeup haha). My hair and makeup were flawless throughout the day even though it was a bit hot (June). I will definitely recommend Canaan to any friends and family planning on getting married. Not only is she very talented, but she's a cool and kind too which is exactly what you need on your wedding day!

    Amazing experience for my big day!

    Canaan did an amazing job on my hair, makeup, and tattoo cover-up! My mom & MOH also loved her! I was so worried i’d sweat everything off (on a hot august day in TN) but it all stayed perfectly and i felt beautiful the entire day & into the evening! I would highly recommend her to any of my friends getting married!

    An artist who cares about so much more than just your make-up

    To say that Canaan made me the best version of myself our special day would be the biggest understatement I could make. Canaan made me feel like the queen that I always wanted to be, and making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. Canaan is beyond professional, helpful and thoughtful and really helped me figure out my hair/make-up vision even when I had no TRUE idea what I wanted. But not only did she make me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt physically but she helped me mentally to, in all honesty, keep it together leading up to my wedding day and also on the day of. She was absolutely my rock, wearing multiple hats, even when she didn't need to. She went above and beyond to help me through difficult situations leading up to the day of all while keeping my stress down. Canaan, I'm forever thankful for you. To all the beautiful brides out there, DO NOT HESITATE to book Canaan. Just go do it. You will never regret it because she is truly the best out there.

    Canaan is the BEST

    I cannot recommend Canaan enough. She did make-up for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom, and everyone loved her work. The airbrush make-up stayed on the entire day despite the rain, heat, and humidity. She also did a phenomenal up-do for my hair, perfectly capturing the sample photo I showed her. On top of her doing such a great job with hair and make up, she was such a calming presence in the midst of a chaotic wedding day.

    Amazing!

    Canaan captured my vision perfectly! The three separate times she did my hair and makeup, she made sure I was fully happy with the look and that it was the look I was going for. She was professional , quick to respond, and the most calming person to spend such a stressful day with. I could not recommend her more!!

    Truly amazing and incredible work

    Canaan is exceptional. I first met her when she did makeup for a friend's wedding where I was a Bridesmaid. She did a great job and I didn't think twice before booking her for my wedding makeup. She is always on time and very professional. She meticulously worked on creating my wedding look and I was very happy with how it turned out. She is very patient and responsive to all questions and concerns. She had a personal unfortunate event before my wedding but she still did not cancel on me and I am very grateful for that. Canaan understands the emotionally charged atmosphere of weddings and she takes up the role of a wedding therapist to calm the bride before the wedding which is adorable and extremely endearing.

She was professional, quick to respond, and incredibly kind. I highly recommend Canaan for any wedding or special event. She will do a fabulous job!

    High Quality and Dependable

    If you're looking for a high quality and dependable hair and make-up artist for your wedding, then you need to hire Canaan. She's responsive, patient, and respectful of your time. She also brings the perfect balance of listening to what you want and offering her professional opinion. Initially, I thought I wanted a certain look and she explained fully what that would mean for the end result and I ended up choosing an option that suited me so much better. When my mom wanted her hair adjusted but didn't know how to explain it, Canaan knew exactly what subtle tweaks to make to have the end result not only be stunning, but exactly what my mom wanted.

    Canaan was so great to work with through the whole wedding process! She was always quick to respond and did multiple hair trials until we figured out what I wanted. She was so friendly and it was like having a friend hang out while she did our hair and makeup on the wedding day. She did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup! I was so so happy with how it all turned out! I received so many compliments on how amazing my hair and makeup looked on our wedding day! I owe it all to Canaan! She really made me feel like a star that day! She also did a wonderful job on my mom’s hair and makeup and my bridesmaid’s hair! I would so highly recommend Canaan!

    Canaan recently did my hair and makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago and she is AMAZING! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! My hair and makeup looked EXACTLY how I wanted it to. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist. So thankful for Canaan! I would recommend her to anyone. She's the best of the best!

    Canaan was awesome! She did hair and make up for me and also make up for my bridesmaid. She was ontime, very professional and most of all she was very patient. She was with me whole day of the wedding -June 30 2018 and she had to start the make up very early as I had 6 bridesmaid and me to work with. She was so patient in customizing each ones needs and made us look gorgeous. I had shown her some pics of pinterest and she was able to replicate and infact make it much more better. I never thought i could look that beautifyl. All my friends and relatives kept praising me telling i looked stunning, all thanks to Cannan. I would definitely recommend Canaan to anyone who want to look stunning on their wedding day!. Thanks a lot Canaan for everything, you are awesome!

    Canaan was absolutely amazing!! I can't begin to thank her enough for the exceptional work she does. As a professional photographer, I have worked with Canaan before and can definitely say she is one of the best! She makes sure everyone is completed on time and looking fabulous! This is absolutely key when trying to make your big day go as smoothly as possible. As a bride, I knew I wanted Canaan. She brought in an extra hand as we had seven bridesmaids and at least 11 additional girls that wanted her services. Everyone was beyond trilled and already thinking of reasons to hire her again! Can't wait to work with Canaan again!!

    I've used Canaan for 2 photo shoots now, and I can honestly say she is the best of the best. She takes extra measures to make sure the overall look is superb. Not only is her professionalism and skills over the top, but she also has a personality to match.

    Canaan was a very affordable and amenable option for the hair and makeup for my fall wedding. I needed someone that was willing to be flexible with our plans and she was. She made me look like a princess both at the trial and on the wedding day and she did such a great job that a member of my wedding party has already booked her for her upcoming day as well!

    Working with Canaan was a dream! She was so professional, kind, and calming on my big day. Canaan was very flexible when scheduling my trial and was very responsive anytime I had a question or idea about my wedding look. Not only did she make me feel wonderful, she also did a custom package for my bridesmaids and they looked stunning! She made sure we were all happy with our look before we left her chair. If you are looking for someone to make you feel beautiful on your wedding day please (or anytime) call Canaan, you won't regret it!
