Kind Words

“Tessa is an amazing artist!! She made me look BEAUTIFUL for my wedding! She woke up super early and was very punctual to have me ready for my sunrise elopement. I am forever grateful for her excellent services!”
— Lynette P.
“Tessa showed up right on time and was quick to get to work. I had her do my hair and makeup. I warned her that I would be dealing with wind and possible rain on the top of a mountain, so she brought her strongest hairspray and setting spray. She was friendly and professional. I was very happy with her work and would hire her again!”
— Rachel C.
“I was searching for a local makeup artist who uses natural beauty products, and could come to my home. Tessa fit the bill. She was both pleasant and professional. As a mature client, I was especially happy with her ability to make my under eye circles much less noticeable while not piling on a ton of makeup. I am learning how to apply makeup, but think it is well worth the price to have an expert such as Tessa complete a look from time to time.”
