    Amazing hair/makeup artists

    The hair and makeup artists were wonderful! They enhanced the bride's natural beauty without changing her look completely. She still looked like herself! Very natural makeup and both hair and makeup stayed looking great all night!

    You NEED to book HVH!

    If you want the morning of your wedding to be a dream, stick to your schedule and feel the most beautiful you've ever felt, then you NEED to hire HVH! I had a bridal party of 10 (7 bridesmaids, 2 moms & bride) and Heather and her team did an absolutely phenomenal job.
    Not only did everyone love how they looked, but the team was so fun to hang out with the morning of my wedding.
    While I was in the midst of trying to decide who I wanted to do our hair and makeup, I reached out to several well known companies throughout the valley. What blew me away about HVH was the level of professionalism that I received as soon as I reached out to them. They were prompt in responding, professional, and made it so easy to work with them. When I told my planner who we booked for hair and make up, her response was, "Oh thank goodness, I don't have to worry about our timeline with HVH because they always stay on schedule."
    Heather, Rebekah, Sydnee, and Gabby are so incredibly talented and every one of my bridesmaids and both moms absolutely loved their hair and makeup. They more than worth every penny and I'd highly, highly recommend them.

    Perfect Glam Squad

    I got engaged in early 2021 and started researching beauty groups for my big day (11/11/22) in the summer of 2021 because I knew I needed the best. I booked Chelsea for hair and Gabby for make up and by far the best decision. They are top notch artists who are extremely talented and provide exceptional work. My whole bridal party was in love with their looks and were flawless.

    Great Experience!

    Fantastic experience all around with Heather & her team (shoutout to Heather for makeup and Chelsea specifically for hair)! They were easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, flexible, very professional, and listened to exactly what my bridesmaids and I wanted for beauty! I loved exactly how everything turned out (as did all of the others in my party) so cannot recommend them enough!

    getting glammed up was one of the best parts of the day

    HVH Hair & Makeup was our first choice for a hair/makeup team. Not only did they come highly recommended to us, but they also are such an established company that we knew we would be able to get all of the services we needed. We had a huge bridal party (16 bridesmaids huge) so in total, with a flower girl and a mom, there were 20 people getting hair and makeup services. We had a schedule for the day, with hair and makeup needing to be done for everyone by 3pm so that we could start photos before the ceremony, and the team had absolutely no problem completing that. When I told Heather our ceremony time, she was able to get back to me with the time that services should be done by. She was very detailed in the scheduling, sending a questionnaire asking what people's hair is like (i.e. curly, extremely long or extremely short, etc.) in order to schedule appropriately. For those of us that received blowout services in addition to a regular hair style (additional cost) we were scheduled at the beginning of the morning so that we were able to shower and have our hair done without sitting around and showering mid-day. The requirements/instructions were extremely clear beforehand in terms of how to prep our hair and skin for the best execution of services and our artists did not disappoint. The two master artists we had were Tatum (makeup) and Chelsea (hair) and they were both amazing. Our additional artists split up between my room and my wife's room were Alvin (makeup), Sydnee (makeup), Lindsey (Hair), and Rebekah (hair). (Photos included were taken by Jonathan Allison Photography)

    Never Felt More Beautiful

    Heather and her team are true miracle workers! After having to reschedule my wedding multiple times because of COVID, Heather was incredibly accommodating and was able to take me and my wedding party on my new date! She truly listened and took the time to understand what I envisioned looking like on my wedding day and delivered beyond my imagination. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day I and I owe that all to Heather and her team! They were on time and incredibly efficient during the day itself leaving us with extra time to spare during the getting ready process so we could relax and enjoy everything! All of my girls told me it was the best hair and make-up experience they’ve ever had, and I couldn’t agree or recommend HVH more!

    Perfect everything

    The wedding was amazing, everything was literally perfect and I got a million compliments on everything, but mostly how beautiful I looked! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I'd say having you all as my hair and makeup was the best decision I made for the wedding- and the easiest.

    Heather Van Houten Makeup & Hair's reply:

    Thank you so much Amanda!!! We absolutely loved working with you and executing your vision for your big day!! xoxoxox

    Amazing!

    These ladies do absolutely beautiful work!

    I had myself, and 4 bridesmaids done and we all were in shock with how amazing they did on both our hair and make up.

    I know for any big events, I will hire them again with no hesitation!

    They do an amazing job and they listen to what you want done. You will leave wanting to hire them for everyday livin'!

    Thank you ladies

    Beautiful Hair and Makeup

    Heather and Team were great to work with and made getting ready for my big day so much easier. For someone who doesn't wear makeup often they were able to find a perfect balance of makeup that looked gorgeous in photos while making me fell like myself. Not only that but it survived me crying at least 4 times!

    Flawless hairand makeup

    Heather and her wonderful artists, Erika (makeup) and Chelsea (hair), made my bridesmaids and myself look absolutely beautiful for my wedding! They were so friendly, talented, and really listened to our personal preferences. They do a beautiful job with each person and were very professional. Heather is wonderful and is very quick to respond to any questions or needs. I highly recommend Heather Van Houten and artists!

    if you want the BEST, pick HVH!

    Heather and her team are a dream team from start to finish! They were the first vendor I booked and reserved our date a year in advance because they are literally THE BEST!! Can't say enough positive things about them and I would highly recommend to all my friends. We got so many compliments and the look lasted all night long! Thank you Heather :)

    Glamsquad of the Century

    One of the tried and true lessons of wedding planning is to curate a team of experts, invest time in getting to know each other, and trust the vision ❤️

    Now I LOVE hair and makeup. I have had my hair and makeup done hundreds of times for different events and picking a wedding beauty vendor was at the very top of my list.

    Our wedding planners knew how important it was that my bridal party felt their most beautiful (and I felt my fiercest) and there was only one vendor who was the perfect fit — HVH.

    The moment I met Heather and Sydnee, I knew I had found my people. They were warm, funny, and experts at their craft. We had a trial on my birthday and we spent the afternoon together laughing and getting to know each other. I felt heard, I felt seen, I felt beautiful. From the first meeting, they had my complete trust. Over the following months, I would send Heather questions and inspo pics and she always replied thoughtfully (infused with her classic wit). As we got closer to the wedding, she was my fairy godmother. I trusted her opinion on spray tanning, facials, skincare, and all the things to prep myself for the big day. I took all her comments to heart and she was such a comfort.

    I must say, on the morning of my wedding, I have NEVER felt more calm. And I credit a lot of that to HVH, Sydnee, Gabriella, and Rebekah. They entered the bridal suite and in ten minutes, turned it into a full Hollywood set. I felt like a celebrity surrounded by my strongest advocates, hilarious friends, and from the moment I sat down, didn’t have one worry.

    All of my bridesmaids and family members have shared that they received their favorite hair and makeup to date on my wedding day. A truly beautiful crew was made even more glamorous. They all looked like the “desert sexy” version of themselves and could not have been happier.

    The photos say all the things I could never convey. From my first look: Glam Cinderella to my second: Jenny from the Block, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt. And I bawled my eyes out during the ceremony and my makeup was flawless. And HVH achieved the impossible, professional, sustainable wedding makeup that felt effortless, like air.

    Thank you ladies for your warmth, your talent, your visions. May all brides trust their team and revel in the magic. xo

    Amazing wedding with HVH & Team

    I can't say enough amazing things about HVH and her team. A lot of other hair and makeup artists I looked at were very heavy/dramatic/unnatrual on the makeup; Heather's work looked very natural and just like an enhanced better version of yourself so I was immediately drawn to her. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup for both my trial and my wedding day; Heather did our makeup and had a combo of Chelsea, Rebekah, and Lindsey for hair. They were all amazing. Heather runs an incredibly efficient and professional business. She is also an all-things-beauty oracle; if any of us wanted something with our hair or makeup and couldn't articulate it, Heather was able to basically read our minds and express it for us. I am SO HAPPY I chose HVH for my wedding, thank you again so much for making my day perfect!

    10/10 Recommend!

    I was initially stressed about hair and makeup, but Heather and her team immediately took the stress away with their professionalism and expertise. Sydnee was my primary artist for hair and makeup, with Keara on hair for my bridesmaids. They were both amazing! Sydnee was a joy to spend time with during my trial and on the wedding day. For my trial, she drew inspiration from photos I shared to create a look that really complimented my features. I had engagement photos following the trial, so Sydnee turned my wedding up-do into a lovely half-up, half-down style to keep an element of surprise for my husband.

    On our wedding day, Sydnee arrived at the bridal suite bright and early to start on bridesmaids' makeup. I was surprised by the early start time when first seeing the HMUA schedule, however, HVH artists are the experts and the schedule ended up working out perfectly with everyone 100% ready to go when our photographers arrived. I felt like a princess and my bridesmaids and mom all looked stunning! Most of them rarely wear makeup and Sydnee did a wonderful job with natural-looking, photo-ready makeup that had everyone feeling like themselves but extra beautiful. Keara also did a great job on bridesmaids' hair, navigating the different lengths and incorporating baby's breath into each style. Huge plus that our hair and makeup looked beautiful and held through the entire reception. Thank you, Sydnee and Keara, for our day-of glam and to Heather for building such a talented team of artists!

    Fantastic hair & makeup!

    I would highly recommend Heather Van Houten Makeup & Hair. Heather herself is lovely to work with - I live abroad and she made time for an initial phone consultation and was super helpful answering all my questions before booking. She understood my concerns about curly hair - her team has great experience and knowledge dealing with curly hair styling.

    I did a trial with her team - and although I was happy with it, she and her team took the photos from it and found ways to improve on an already wonderful job. It's such a sign of a professional to stand back and keep looking for ways to improve your own work - I was so impressed by this!

    For my wedding we had Rebekah (hair) and Erika (makeup) - they are both so talented, but also just incredibly lovely people. They brought such a calm, fun vibe to the room while we were getting ready - was just what you wanted on such a big day! I would definitely recommend them for any bride out there.

    HVH is amazing!

    Heather and Chelsea did an absolutely AMAZING job! They listened to what the ladies asked for and provided guidance and ideas. I trust these two so much that I didn't even have to show Heather any inspiration pictures for my makeup - she knew exactly what to do! I also decided to change my hairstyle the morning of our wedding and I didn't even hesitate because I knew they would understand what I wanted and make it happen - and they did! I cannot say enough good things about HVH Faces. I found it so easy to work with and communicate with Heather. Heather replies to emails in a timely manner and is super organized. You need to hire HVH for your special event! You will not regret it!

    If you want to look like a million dollars....

    You need to book HVH Artists. Heather and her team are incredible and so talented. I had admired their work on social media, but the real time results for the ladies and myself were insane. I felt so beautiful and so confident. Heather was our make up artist, and Rebekah LaFalce was our hair artist. Within 10 minutes of meeting them during the make up trial, I knew we selected right. They both really listened to each girl when talking about what they were thinking for hair and make up, and then also took into account the dresses, the overall wedding vibe, location, etc. It was impressive to watch them work! And I pushed them to the limits by requesting a second look between ceremony and reception. I should have known it would be epic though because when I asked if it was possible, Heather's response was YES! And she immediately started thinking up a second lip color and look. Rebekah created a gorgeous low bun for my ceremony look and then turned it into the most stunning low ponytail of my dreams. I didn't want to take off my make up or take out my hair at the end of the night it was just too good. Heather and Rebekah are wonderful people and I'm jealous of everyone else that still gets to work with them!!

    Hvh is the best!

    Heather and Sydnee are such a dream team! On top of being insanely talented, they are so sweet and fun to be around. Both Heather and Sydnee listened to what everyone wanted and created the most incredible looks. My mom, bridesmaids and I are STILL talking about how much we all loved our makeup and hair. Heather and Sydnee made us feel so beautiful and so comfortable. If you just got engaged, contact HVH and book Heather and her incredible team. They're seriously the best!

    Simply perfect!

    Heather and her team are absolutely amazing! We had Rebekah as our hair artist and Gabrielle as our makeup artist. They are completely sweet and wonderful and I was so so happy to have them! They made me feel beautiful and were so attentive and responsive. They were both open to whatever ideas my bridesmaids, mom, grandma, and myself had and worked absolute magic. Rebekah's skill with hair is incredible and I couldn't have been happier! She changed up my style on the fly and I would trust her to tackle any style. Gabrielle was amazing and she struck the perfect balance for my makeup. Could not have been happier with these two!!

    HVH has perfected the craft!

    All I have to say is Heather has perfected the wedding beauty craft!! I can't wait for her to become famous (even more than she already is) because I know it's going to happen for her one day! She is way ahead of her time, and is no-nonsense about what works and what doesn't for a bride, while embracing each bride's individuality. This is a vendor that you need!! And she has cultivated an incredible team of hair and makeup artists that are so professional, caring, hard-working, and talented -- special shout out to Rebekah and Gabby who COMPLETELY NAILED MY WEDDING LEWK!! They made me feel so beautiful, but still myself, which was the best outcome I could have hoped for. Heather, Rebekah, Gabby, and the HVH gang are the team you want on your wedding day, no question!

    Amazing makeup and hair artists!

    I booked Erika and Chelsea through HVH Artists for my wedding, and they were truly amazing throughout the entire process. Everything in the contract is straightforward with no surprises, which I greatly appreciated. My trials with Erika and Chelsea were fantastic! I'm horrible with makeup, but just talking to Erika about my wedding and overall look she was able to put together the perfect makeup look for me. Chelsea was absolutely great with my hair (I have a lot of it) and gave me tips on what to do with it the weeks leading up to the wedding, and really made sure I loved the style and fit with my wedding look. Since it was a number of us getting ready, Heather even added on Gabby to do makeup so we wouldn't have to be up too early. They were fantastic and really made my wedding day run smoothly! Everyone looked absolutely stunning thanks to Erika, Chelsea, and Gabby!
