Any success stories from your big day regarding makeup and/or hair? In particular b/c I have rosacea, the wrong move will aggravate it. No joke. so i definintely need someone that has more knowledge than just beautiful smokey eyes ;) Thank you Ladies!

    I recommend Naomi's Salon.  They can travel to you on the big day.  I used Angela for hair and Janice for makeup.  They were both very knowledgable and amazing!!!

    I second Naomi's salon. I had Tanya for hair and Candice for makeup and they both did an amazing job.

    I'd suggest you do a trial, no matter who you end up booking. That way you can talk to them about what you want specifically, and see if their product works correctly and looks nice.

    I used them as well.  When I was MOH in my cousin's wedding in 2008 we also used Candice and we will be using her for my brother's wedding in July.  She's amazing and will talk to you about allergies, sensitive skin, etc.  I also had a trial first and she told me to pay attention to whether or not I had any reactions so that she could ensure that won't happen on my wedding day. 

    Tonya is also amazing.  She was very bubbly and fun to hang out with while she was getting all of us ready.  Everyone's hair held up in the 90 degree weather and looked beautiful.  I recommend both of them!

    Larissa Lake Makeup Artist and her team are AMAZING - seriously, I love them. I went to them for my engagement photos and now I go back for facials, brows, and have them booked for my wedding. They are PHENOMENAL
