I just got married on December 20th and AJ was kind enough to come to our hotel to do makeup and hair for my niece, my mom, and me on her birthday! I've always been extremely reluctant to have anyone do my hair or makeup because on the few occasions that it has been done I felt like it was a waste of money and I didn't like how I looked. I looked "made up", not like myself at all, and my hair well, it just wasn't good...not many people know how to work with fine, thin hair without making it bouffant, AJ totally took care of me! I absolutely LOVED how she did my hair and makeup! All of my friends kept commenting how beautiful I looked and that I still looked like me...many of them felt like they looked beautiful on their wedding day, but not like themselves so that was a huge compliment! It was so nice to be able to stay in my hotel room and relax instead of rushing around from place to place to get ready. AJ's prices are very reasonable especially considering how much stress it takes out of your day to have her come to you! She's so sweet and easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend calling AJ to take care of you for any special occasion that you want to look FABULOUS for! Love ya girl! Jeannie Bowden

I can't even begin to thank AJ and her assistant. Two weeks before my wedding AJ went above and beyond to squeeze 3 bridesmaids and me in. I showed her a picture and AJ nailed it, she totally got the look I was going for. We had never met before and we never had a trial run either. My bridesmaids looked fantastic and my sister was amazed by the fact that she could not even feel the makeup on her face at all. I have nothing but good things to say about AJ. I can't thank her enough to step in two weeks before the wedding. THAT is customer service! They are the whole package for sure. Excellent service!

AJ did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was blown away by her work! I looked like me, only better, which is exactly what I wanted! Kendal worked on my bridesmaids' hair and they looked awesome! Both had unique styles that held up extremely well considering they were either all down or half up. AJ did a fantastic job with my hair. The curls lasted all day long, and well into the evening. She even provided beautiful hair jewels that complimented the look very nicely. I looked in the mirror after AJ had finished my hair and makeup, and after she placed my veil on my head, I totally lost it! She did such a wonderful job, I just couldn't hold back my emotions. That was a precursor for the day because I balled yet again going down the aisle and after the ceremony, but through it all, my makeup was immaculatel! Everyone was amazed that I didn't have to touch up any of my makeup the whole day. Besides her outstanding work and work ethic, AJ is the sweetest person you will ever meet. You can't go wrong with AJ's Hair Design and Makeup!

It was such a pleasure working with AJ and her team. Both my hair and makeup were flawless and turned out just the way I wanted. I had a very large wedding party and they came to us and made us all look beautiful. Many of my bridesmaids were hesitant to get their makeup done because they had some bad experiences in the past but after they saw what AJ could do on a few of the other girls they ALL decided to have their makeup done. AJ was so great to be flexible and get everyone done in time. My special day was perfect and they helped to make it that way. I highly recommend them!!!

AJ was one of the best parts of my wedding experience. She is amazingly talented and literally can do anything. She made me look and feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She really worked with me to create the exact look I wanted and I couldn't have asked for a nicer and more professional hair/makeup designer. I enjoyed working with her so much I can't wait until I have another special event. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is and the quality and value of her work is the best I've seen. Thank you so much AJ :)

The morning of my daughters wedding would have been a nightmare without AJ and Rachel. My daughter was ill with nerves, and AJ and Rachel made her perfect. The brought everything necessary and made each of feel so pretty. The hair was perfect, the makeup not only looked but felt fantastic. I loved them--so professional and so focused. There is so much going on the day of the wedding and they knew what needed to be done to make each of us perfect. They also did exactly what we wanted with very cryptic input--ie we just gave them the idea and they took it to a wonderful level!

AJ and her team are wonderful! My and my parties hair and makeup was beautiful and lasted all day! I could not recommend her and her artists more. With the excitement and nerves of the time while you're getting ready for your wedding AJ and her team were able to work quickly producing beautiful hair and makeup while helping me to keep calm. AJ and her team are so fabulous I highly recommend them! They did a wonderful job I looked absolutely beautiful as well as still looking like myself. My hair was beautiful stayed put but also looked so nice, shiny and healthy.
