“…I am left feeling like a princess!”
I’ve had hair, makeup, and draping done by Joan six times and each time I am left feeling like a princess!
I hired Joan to do out of the box hairstyles and makeup looks the week of my wedding and she delivered every single time.
She is an absolute gem to work with and made every single vision I had come to reality! I highly recommend this artist to all my friends and family! Thank you Joan ♥️

“After seeing your work, you were the very first vendor I booked for my wedding.”
Even before I was engaged, I was already on the hunt for a makeup artist for my wedding. After scrolling through countless social media accounts, I came across yours. Just from reviewing your portfolio, you can see a glow on your clients' faces. As a brown girl, it can be challenging to find an artist who understands our unique tones, but I saw how the makeup looks highlighted your clients' natural features. After seeing your work, you were the very first vendor I booked for my wedding.
I was nervous about my trial because I didn’t have a clear vision of what I wanted. You guided me through every detail of hair and makeup, helping me bring my ideas to life. You listened to all my concerns and adjusted each element to suit my preferences. By the end of the trial, I left feeling confident and reassured that I would look my absolute best on my wedding day.
On the big day, you made me feel like a true princess. I couldn’t stop smiling all morning as you brought my dream makeup look to life. When it came to my hair, you adjusted the trial look to align perfectly with what I envisioned for the day. When I saw the final result, I was completely in awe—I couldn’t believe the reflection in the mirror was me!
The wedding process can be overwhelming, but when it came to my hair and makeup, I was able to relax and breathe. You made me feel so comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process.
The wedding look can truly make or break the day, and you executed your work flawlessly. Thank you!

“I was very big on having a natural makeup look and she got it spot on”
Joan killed it for all my makeup looks. I got so many compliments on both of my makeup looks. I was very big on having a natural makeup look and she got it spot on. She’s very professional, prompt with her email responses, and interacted with everyone in a professional matter. She completed pleating services for my mom and mother in law and they both loved it. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.

“Not only does she tailor to the client’s needs exactly but she expresses her own creativity and her work turns out flawless.”
Joan is one of the best HMUA [hair and makeup artist] in the area! Not only does she tailor to the client’s needs exactly but she expresses her own creativity and her work turns out flawless. From hair to makeup to draping, she knows exactly what to do and I am confident in hiring her for any occasion. She knows how to do makeup flawlessly while making it look natural at the same time. We hired Joan for my brother’s wedding in Cancun and for every wedding occasion after that. Joan is also very professional and super sweet. I promise you won’t get a better HMUA in the area at such an affordable rate!

“She is not only extremely talented but has a fantastic creative eye.”
I cannot recommend Joan highly enough. She is not only extremely talented but has a fantastic creative eye. Joan is very friendly and her easy-going nature makes a potentially stressful situation feel like a dream, I felt so calm and at ease and trusted her immediately.

“She took the time to tell me what she was using and was super gentle on my sensitive skin”
Joan was so sweet to work with! She took the time to really get to know my skin and know what I wanted. She gave me so many moisturizing products to put on before the makeup went on, which was awesome because my skin tends to dry out when I put a full face of makeup on and a lot of times people turn that into a dewy look, which I don’t like. She kept it natural & it didn’t feel caked at all! She took the time to tell me what she was using and was super gentle on my sensitive skin. She also was very professional and had clean brushes, gloves, and beauty blender. I would definitely go to her again for any makeup look! Thank you so much Joan for all of your help :)

“This girl clearly loves what she does and is truly an artist”
First I want to start off by saying that this is seriously one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met! Joan made my experience exceptional with her customer service and made me feel so comfortable. Joan did my hair and makeup for my mendhi and did EXACTLY what I asked for with every little detail. Even before I met her, she was very helpful in giving me ideas of what style would look good. I’m very picky with makeup and hair and she did everything SO perfectly. This girl clearly loves what she does and is truly an artist. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone wanting to get their hair/makeup professionally done- so happy with my decision and will be using her again for future events!

“Joan is your girl and she will make you feel like a million bucks with her talent and enhance your natural beauty!”
Absolutely loved working with Joan! I had booked Joan for three occasions and she left me feeling like a million bucks all three times!! I appreciate the fact that she’s open to ideas and also give her suggestions and recommendations if indecisive! She is very timely, orderly and overall a sweet person to work with! Apart from hair and make up I was also able to have her drape me for my E-shoot and my reception saree - which left the aunties and my MIL super impressed! In summary, look no further, Joan is your girl and she will make you feel like a million bucks with her talent and enhance your natural beauty!
