    Sparkle made us sparkle!

    Sparkle was a true gem! She styled all the bridesmaids' hair beautifully and their makeup was exceptionally done. Her professionalism, punctuality, and undeniable talent made getting ready a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for a flawless bridal look!

    5/5 stars!

    Let me just start by saying WOW! If you want to feel and look absolutely stunning on your wedding day, look no further than Sparkle! She made me feel so at ease the whole day and really took her time to make me look my best. From finding her, setting a trial date, and booking her for my wedding day, everything was seamless!

    Sparkle will make you shine!

    Sparkle did my hair and make up for my wedding on 6/26/2022. She came out to my wedding the morning of and did my hair and make up. She was on time and finished on time with no rushing and time to give kind words for our special day. My make up lasted the entire day! This wedding was an outdoor wedding in June on a rainy day and it even lasted after cake was smashed to my face. I did a test run before the wedding and it was perfect to go over everything I wanted and it ended up perfect on the wedding day. She was wonderful to have do my hair and her wonderful high skills to make me beautiful on my wedding day.

    Incredible!

    My photographer suggested that I use Sparkle and her team, and boy am I glad that I did! I had a trial hair and make-up run a few months before the wedding that I was so happy with! Full disclosure, I even salvaged my hair and eye make-up for my bridal shower the following day and it still looked amazing!! After the trial, I decided to make a few tweaks to my hair style, and Sparkle perfectly executed on our wedding day!

    My now husband was a little worried about the make-up, as he doesn’t like when I wear a lot of it. I told Sparkle this during my trial, and she absolutely ran with it. My make-up looked extremely natural to satisfy my husband, but still glammed up to satisfy myself. Saying I felt like a million bucks is so cliche, but it’s exactly how Sparkle makes you look and feel!

    Sparkle and her team were extremely prompt, professional, and FUN! They added to the fun and excitement of the day and were so encouraging from the time they stepped in the door to the time they left. I am so happy (and feel so lucky!) Sparkle and her team were apart of our day, and I can’t recommend them enough!

    Sparkle is AMAZING - Can't Recommend Her Enough!

    I was referred to Les Bourgeois Artistry/Sparkle Gose by my photographer and was so happy she recommended her! She was absolutely amazing. She did my hair and make-up for both my bridal shower and my wedding day. We ended up forgetting my veil on the wedding day, but it was completely okay because my hair looked AMAZING. We had a large party, so she provided another great make-up artist and two hair stylists to accommodate us all. She was super great to work with, listened to exactly what I wanted, and very responsive. She even bought the lipstick for me I wore for the wedding day in case I wasn't able to get it in time. I can't recommend her more!

    Les Bourgeois Artistry's reply:

    Awww 🥰 thank you so much!!! I absolutely loved you ladies. You were the perfect bride! 😘 I hope you have your happily ever after because you deserve it ! 😉

    Amazing hair and makeup artist onsite at wedding!

    I had a hair and makeup trial done a few months before our wedding, and it had been a total disaster (my husband described it as "alien). Some of our other amazing vendors recommend Sparkle at Les Bourgeois (the owner) and she made everything PERFECT. From our trial to the day of, I knew I was with a professional who would make me look like the best version of myself. My makeup lasted all day and night, and it was just a more glam version of my natural look. My hair is notoriously hard to curl and Sparkle kept thinking of the best techniques to make it all last as long as possible. All of my bridesmaids also got either hair or makeup with her and everyone (of course) looked flawless! Sparkle is also funny and kind and I would recommend her and her company to absolutely anyone!

    Les Bourgeois Artistry's reply:

    Your pictures are stunning!!! Thank you so much. I LOVED you and your entire party! It was absolutely my pleasure to be a part of your day!

    Beautiful beautiful work

    Sparkle and some of her team did mine and my bridesmaids' hair & makeup for my wedding a few weekends ago and we couldn't have been more pleased with their services. They were on time (set up and ready to go when we got there actually) and they were just so much fun the whole time we were getting ready. We provided pictures of the hairstyles and makeup we wanted and the results were basically identical and they held up the entire night! I don't get my hair and makeup done very often and the work they did on us just felt natural and like I wasn't over the top/ over done like I've felt before when getting it done. Sparkle is super easy to work with and she's honest about what she thinks will look good and if there are any recommendations she has to make something look even better! She's the pro and I took a lot of her recommendations and I don't regret it at all. Most importantly though, she listens to what you're looking for and delivers that look for you. If you're looking for hair and make up for your wedding, definitely inquire with her to see if she has your date available - you won't regret it!

    Beautiful beautiful beautiful

    Sparkle and her team are amazing. Sparkle is professional and easy to communicate with. I had two people from her team do hair and makeup for my wedding. Both ladies were amazing and did hair and makeup for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mother-in-law. Everyone looked amazing and loved how their hair and makeup turned out for the wedding.

    Les Bourgeois Artistry's reply:

    Thank you so much! This means a lot 🤗 I am so glad you were happy. You made such a stunning bride. You looked gorgeous in your pictures ☺️

    Perfect hair and makeup!

    Sparkle is nothing short of amazing! I loved working with her for hair and makeup for my wedding. She did both hair and makeup for my mom, mother-in-law, and myself. The work she did for all three of us was done beyond our expectations. When I took hair ideas to the trial, Sparkle was able to give me advice on what would work best and recreated the style we chose to perfection. Sparkle is a true artist in her field and I would recommend her to anyone needing wedding hair or makeup done!

    Absolute perfection!

    Sparkle has to be one of the best in the business! It’s hard for me to put words to how absolutely amazing she is! Between being funny and down to earth she is so professional and takes so much pride in her work.

    I am so grateful that I found her and that she said yes to doing my wedding! All of the girls looked stunning! If you need someone for your wedding for makeup and hair look no further. I would pick her again and again.

    Sparkle I honestly can’t thank you enough for all that you and your team did! I will be singing your praises for years to come! I hope that our paths cross again soon. :)

    This has got to be the sweetest review ever! words can't describe how much I appreciate all your kind words. You ladies were all amazing and I really enjoyed being a part of your special day!

    So great!!

    Sparkle and her team did an amazing job! They did my hair and makeup on my wedding day and my MOH's and mother's hair. She had another wedding on the same day, so to make sure everyone at both weddings could get done in time she brought along two additional people at no extra charge! They were flexible and professional when we needed some last-minute changes to the schedule. She is friendly, fun, and definitely knows her stuff. I didn't really know what I wanted for makeup so I didn't give her much direction, but I loved my hair and makeup so much!

    Multiple services, multiple events, all beautiful!

    Sparkle was wonderful to work with! She did hair and makeup for our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding; for the wedding she also did hair and makeup for several members of the bridal party. She was responsive and attentive and did beautiful work (see pictures). She recommended extensions to me and styled them really well. Her hair and makeup styling was meticulous and extremely detailed, and it held up well throughout all of the events (including from our pre-wedding photos to our sparkler exit with minimal touch-up!). Pricing was transparent and totally reasonable. Would recommend!

    Les Bourgeois Artistry's reply:

    Thank you Kristi!! I loved working with you so much. every step of the way and every event we did together your were amazing. I really enjoyed working with you!

    Responsive and Talented

    I found Sparkle of Les Bourgeois Artistry only about a month before my wedding after a trial with another company went horribly wrong. I had a friend refer her as well, so I was hoping I would be in good hands, and I was! Sparkle was incredibly responsive and flexible in getting me in for a trial, which was excellent. She was also great throughout the whole booking process and it was easy to work with her despite having a huge (12 person) bridal party needing services.

    On the day of, Les Bourgeois was on time and kept us on time. It was actually the first wedding I've ever been to where hair and makeup didn't run over. One of my bridesmaids with short hair even got the updo she wanted and it looked great! Normally at weddings at least one person ends up redoing their makeup but everyone loved theirs here. My maid of honor brought her hair extensions and they worked with them as well. The entire team was a blast to work with.

    I would highly recommend Les Bourgeois Artistry to anyone looking for either hair or makeup services. They are amazing and saved my day!

    Les Bourgeois Artistry's reply:

    Awwww thank you! You ladies were absolutely amazing to work with. I am truly glad that you were a bride of mine ☺️ Everything happens for a reason 😉

    Highly Recommend!

    I met Sparkle at a Bridal Expo in Charlottesville and am so glad I did! At my hair and make up trial, she listened to my ideas, looked at the pictures I sent her, and then made me look even better than I imagined. I know little about hair and make up, so she helped me feel confident and guided me to the best bridal look. Sparkle is very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her!

    Highly Recommend for a Boho or Romantic Look!

    Sparkle and her assistant, Rebecca, did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids, 3 flower girls, and moms! They were professional, ran on time as scheduled, and executed all of our looks perfectly! Sparkle's hair artistry has a romantic, bohemian style which complimented my wedding vision perfectly. The braiding in my hair was exquisite and I got SO MANY compliments. The makeup looked natural and flawless, and best of all, stayed put all night even with rain and lots of dancing. I highly recommend Sparkle and Rebecca for your wedding or event!

    A superstar! Wonderful work.

    I LOVED working with Sparkle. She was an absolute delight. Flexible with rescheduling for our trial, did amazing work with both the trial and wedding. My bridesmaids loved her. Everyone loved my hair and makeup. She is a star in her own right, and I am so glad I found her.

    10/10 would recommend

    Sparkle and her team are some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever worked with. They take the time to make everything absolutely perfect. I had hair and makeup done for my wedding day and all of my bridesmaids hair as well. We started hair at 7:15 am and the party went until 2am. Winds were high and even at 2am our hair looked beautiful. She is absolutely amazing with the relaxed romantic hair and makeup styles. I’m super picky with my makeup and she hit the nail on the head.

    Fantastic + Flexible

    It was truly a joy having Sparkle/Les Bourgeois do my bridal + bridesmaids’ hair and makeup. I had a specific vision in mind of what I wanted the look to be and she captured it perfectly - both at the trial and a few months later. She listened to me very well and was excited to work together. On both trial day and wedding day, her vibe is very fun and friendly yet still professional. Having a hair and makeup artist who had a wonderful personality was important to me on wedding day since you spend the morning together, and Sparkle was great with that! Her prices seem fair and she was easy to communicate with. I’m a huge fan!

    Amazing hair and makeup!

    Sparkle and Becky did an amazing job! My bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, and I all looked fabulous for the wedding and they kept us joking and giggling all morning. Everyone was done on time and hair and make-up held up all day. Sparkle also took all of my feedback from the trial into account and managed to make my ridiculously oily skin stay matte for the whole day - a true feat! Thank you so much for making us look and feel beautiful, Sparkle!

    Amazing work!

    Sparkle did both my hair and makeup on site for my wedding. I was concerned from the beginning about both of these because I can be particular about those details, but she really nailed what I wanted. She spent a lot of time on me perfecting both and made sure I was happy with the result. I have some skin imperfections that were of concern and she made my skin look flawless. I felt so beautiful and happy with the end result. She was also a joy to speak with and work with throughout the process. I highly recommend.

    Great Experience!

    Sparkle was fantastic! For my wedding, she did the hair for me, my mom, 3 bridesmaids, and a flower girl. Everything ran ahead of schedule on the day of, which seems unheard of!

    As for my hair, I had a general idea of what I wanted, and she was able to work with my hair, give me suggestions, and made it turn out perfect! My mom, flower girl, and bridesmaids all had the same experience as well and loved their dos!

    She was friendly, incredibly responsive to every email leading up to the day, and made the entire experience very stress free! I would highly recommend her!
