HIGHLY UNRELIABLE! BOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK! After doing a fair bit of research last summer, Michelle and I signed a contract in late July/early August of 2011 for my wedding in June of 2012. That contract included an agreed upon appointment time for makeup applications that day. Michelle advertises that she books on a "first come, first serve basis" so I booked early to be sure that I could have her there when I needed her -- our makeup would be fresh and ready for the ceremony, last through the evening, and the photographer would be there for the "getting ready" photos.
For nine months, I felt secure and confident about the booking and our contract -- and I felt confident that Michelle would provide the services we booked at the time that was written in the contract. However, the third week in April, two months before my wedding, I received an e-mail from Michelle stating "I'm going to need to change the time for your wedding day...I'm going to need to make it earlier. Can you be flexible that morning?" My wedding is at 4PM and the make-up applications were scheduled for the afternoon, so the phrase "that morning" had me a bit concerned, but I politely reminded her why we scheduled for the time we did in the contract (reasons which included the ceremony's start time and being sure that the photographer would be there for "getting ready" photos). Michelle responded a day and a half later and declared that since it was "just" me and a regular makeup application (my mother), she had to change the appointment time to 9:00AM (for a 4:00PM wedding!). The booking was "just" for the two of us because we have chosen not to have a bridal party. Michelle continued, "because you are not willing to be flexible with me I'm going to have to refund your deposit and cancel with you if you can't do the 9:00 time slot." Aside from being contrary to our contract, this time was totally unreasonable since a regular make-up application probably wouldn't even last until the ceremony, let alone through the evening, if it were done SEVEN HOURS before the event! As if that weren't upsetting enough, her ego then reared it's ugly head as she continued, "I have many brides just waiting to book me that day and would be flexible just to have me do their makeup." So, apparently I wasn't supposed to give a damn about our contract and was supposed to be grateful that she was willing to do our makeup at all! She then claimed that "any salon would have to do the same thing to run a business." I have NEVER been to a salon or spa anywhere in the world that did not honor their appointment times.
Michelle's written statements made it clear that she had already or was about to book a more financially lucrative job that conflicted with my appointment time and so she was tossing our agreement aside in order to take the bigger payout! She had her own financial interests firmly in mind, but she did not care at all about her previous commitment to me or my needs.
So, She clearly does NOT book on a first come, first served basis. Rather, she is willing to toss previous commitments and contracts out completely if she gets a better offer later! After learning all of this the hard way, I realized I would never want to work with someone with such poor business ethics anyway. Straightaway, and in a bit of a panic, I scrambled to find another airbrush make-up artist a mere two months before my wedding day and was fortunate enough to find that, as fate would have it, my other top choice artist was (quite surprisingly) still available on my wedding day! Actually, it was the ONLY day she WAS still available! Her training and portfolio/resume is equally impressive and I did not book with her originally only because she was going to be a bit more expensive. This time around, choosing reliability over money savings, I booked her right away -- and she will remain on hand from the appointment time until I depart for my ceremony on my wedding day, just in case we need her for anything.
So after all if this, you might wonder why I gave Michelle two stars for responsiveness? Well, I told her the next day (Saturday) that since she was not willing to honor our contract, I did indeed want my deposit refunded. I told her that under the circumstances, I expected the refund to be postmarked and in the mail by the following Monday. It was, and I received it promptly. She might screw you service-wise, but she at least isn't a thief.

Michelle's expertise and warm demeanor immediately made me feel at ease. She was always very quick to respond to my many questions and offer suggestions to create the ideal look I wanted to achieve on my wedding day. I selected the airbrush makeup, which looked extremely natural and lasted ALL day long! I loved working with Michelle and would highly recommend her to anyone for any special occasion!

Michelle was professional, very pleasant and even dealt with my bridezilla moment the morning of my wedding . She did a wonderful job with my airbrush makeup ! I would totally recommend her and air brush to any bride looking for makeup that will endure a busy (emotional ) day of kissing , talking and smiling. Typically makeup stays on me for about one hour, the airbrush gave me the feel of looking like a bride, not my everyday look !

Michelle and her assistant did a fantastic job the day of my wedding; I couldn't have been happier and felt absolutely beautiful! I do not wear make-up on a daily basis, and wanted to look natural and Michelle made it happen. I had originally planned on having the traditional make-up application, but during my trial we decided to switch to airbrush, which lasted all day and night, great decision. There were a total of 8 girls who had their make-up done and everyone was so, so pleased. The week before the wedding we had a time and location change of where the make-up would be completed and Michelle accommodated us, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Michelle’s expertise to others!!

Michelle was friendly, sweet, and did such a great job with my makeup, my bridesmaids' makeup, and my mom's makeup. I'm not a person who usually wears too much makeup, so I didn't want anything too heavy or fake on my wedding day. Michelle listened to that and did an amazing job. Her airbrush technique felt natural and looked great! Highly recommended!
GUEST
Michelle is a BRILLIANT makeup artist! On my wedding day she made my bridal party and I look and feel absolutely glamorous. On top of that, she is very sweet and truly cares about making you happy. Having her there the morning of the wedding eliminated so much stress because makeup was one less thing we had to worry about. We will have the wedding pictures for the rest of our lives and I'm so glad that all of the girls love the way they look in them!

A----MAZING! Michelle was referred to me by my hair stylist to use on my wedding day. As someone that rarely wears makeup, I was unsure as far as what to expect from a "professional" make-up application. Upon our initial conversation, Michelle made me feel comfortable and was able to answer all of my questions completely, indicating to me that she was truly a professional in this area! She even took the time to do a trial application for me, at a reasonable rate to put my concerns at ease. After this trial, I was hooked. Combining her experience, and my suggestions on what I wanted for the day I could not have been happier with the results, and the makeup felt so natural. I still felt like myself...Just a more glamourous and spiced up version! I even had her do makeup for my sister and mother on my wedding day and bought some of the products she used on me to use daily! I would recommend Michelle for any special day and will be using her in the future. She was practical, professional, considerate, and made me feel amazing on my wedding day! An experience unlike any other!
