j & a {makeup artistry}

Janea is amazing!!! I hired her originally to just do makeup on myself and 2 bridesmaids. I ended up having to change probably 3 or 4 times and ended up using her for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and my mom's makeup as well as hair for the bridesmaids. Every time I had to change things she was very understanding and never had any problems with it even though she had 4 other weddings the same day. The day of the wedding, her and Eliannah showed up and did beautiful makeup and hair. I had brought in my personal hair dresser that I use on a regular basis and she did a terrible job on mine and my mom's hair. Once she left, Janea quickly jumped in to fix our hair the best she could. She saved the day to say the least! I would recommend her to anyone! She is the best!!!!

J & A was the absolute best! She was on time, kept US on time and even squeezed in 2 extra girls that decided to have their make up done. She did amazing work! I loved the way my make-up looked natural in person but dramatic in photos- I don't know how she did it! Everything was perfect and I would highly, highly recommend them!

Janea and Praveen were awesome on my wedding day. I am Filipino and have very fine hair that cannot hold a curl for anything. My hair is always stright and down. They found a way to make my hair look natural but beautiful with curls on my wedding day. As far as my makeup, I don't wear it daily and hate feeling like a clown with makeup. Janea listened and used the natural lighting in the room and my photographer (Brooke Price) to do determine what looks best in pictures. She ultimately made sure I was happy and comfortable, rather than push her own opinion. I am VERY picky when it comes to make up and I just love how it came out. She was also flexible about adding my niece and bridesmaid on the day of.

As far as our trial run, she was super flexible with me with scheduling. I last minute decided to drive down and she graciously missed some family time after New Years I believe, to meet me for my trial. I was very lucky to have found Janea and Praveen.

Janea and Praveen did beautiful jobs on my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and on my wedding day. I even changed up my hair style last minute! These women had my friends cracking up all morning long. Janea even played music from her phone for us. Everyone loved their hair and makeup. The pictures all came out perfect! I would HIGHLY recommend J & A Makeup Artistry!

Praveen did my hair for my wedding as well as 3 bridesmaids and 1 flower girl. She was very calm, flexible and professional, everything you would want from a vendor on your wedding day. She showed up early and even finished a little early. We had done a trial run a few months earlier and she listened to my feedback and made sure I was pleased with my hair. She even told stories and made us laugh! When we were almost finished with everyone's hair, the makeup artist, Eliana, arrived to do my makeup and I was very satisfied with the results and how it held up the rest of the day.

The only thing that made me uncomfortable about booking this vendor was the fact that all of my correspondence was with Janea, who I never met. I think it was unclear that she manages a team of hair and makeup artists, but being the control freak that I am, it made me nervous about who I was going to get on my wedding day. (I did confirm that Praveen, who did my trial, would be the one doing my hair so that made me more comfortable). Still, they had so many amazing reviews on WeddingWire that I trusted their reputation and I am so glad that I did! Thank you, ladies, for making me look fabulous on my big day!

From the very first contact Janea took excellent care of me. She was incredibly easy to get in touch with and never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her or making over the top requests. The makeup and hair for me and two others for my wedding day was absolutely incredible and everything I have always dreamed. Thank you so much, Janea!

Elaina and Praveen are a stellar team! They are super talented in their artistry! I am SUPER difficult to please when it comes to hair and make-up… but these girls have what it takes to make you and your ladies shine! They are receptive to your desires and truly listen to what you want. These ladies are up to date on the latest techniques and styles.

They are there on time (even when we were not!) and super supportive through the entire process. I was nervous I was holding things up because I couldn’t get the water works to stop- But they never pressured me and assured me that they there was enough time despite my happy tears.

Praveen even gave me a little trick to stop the tears at the alter! BLESS YOU PRAVEEN! It works!

Awesome job by the crew Elaina and Praveen are fantastic. Felt so relaxed and comfortable. They are easy to work with and awesome at what they do. Our hair and makeup looked great. And Janea is great to keep in touch with after trials. They WILL make sure it is what you want. Thanks again girls you made it that much more special!

Unfortunately our wedding day was all but ruined due to this service. Janeau never showed up so we were left with only one girl, Praveen, to do a bride and 6 other hairdos in 2 1/2 hours. We wound up being over an hour late for our one and only wedding day:( In addition we had to do a number of hairdos ourselves, mothers and flowergirls, or we would have been even later. After this Janeau insisted that we paid them for the contracted amount, even for the hair styles that we did ourselves.
What a disaster this turned out to be. Food was spoiled, and we incurred additional costs to keep our phototgrapher later etc.. I would have expected the girls to be calling with a huge apology, instead they are insisting that we pay them even for the hairstyles that were not completed.

Janea did an amazing job and was willing to work with me and my ever chaning mind! She does great work and shes a great person!!!! She made me look beautiful on my wedding day!

LOVE these girls! My hair and make-up looked fabulous, despite my crazy pregnancy hormones. They were able to hide my temporary skin flaws - flawlessly! These girls are no party poopers, either, so be prepared to have fun; that's icing on the cake and works wonders to calm a bride on her most nerve wrecking day! I highly recommend this team!

I felt like a princess after Praveen did my hair and makeup for the wedding. I don't normally wear a lot of eyeshadow (or makeup in general), but I thought I wanted a smokey eye. I was nervous after the makeup trial with the smokey eye makeup, and I changed my mind about the eye shadow just days before the wedding.

On the day-of, Praveen made my makeup look natural and beautiful, and my hair looked exactly how I wanted it to. I would definitely recommend J&A Makeup Artistry. I felt so beautiful on our big day. Thank you so much...

I am so pleased that I went with J & A makeup artistry for my destination wedding in Fort Myers Beach, FL. With having to plan my wedding from Michigan, most of my contact was through email and Janea was very quick to respond and so easy to work with. Janea had to be out of town the day of my wedding but I was so pleased to see that both she and Praveen showed up for my trial run.... they really care about customer service! Praveen did an amazing job on both myself and my 2 bridesmaids the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend their services to anyone! They are both very sweet and outgoing and they made the whole process so much fun! Thanks again Janea and Praveen!

Thank you so much! I loved my hair and makeup and my girls looked so good! You guys rock!

I would definitely give J&A Makeup Artistry a 5 out of 5+ rating for their services provided for my wedding in early October of this year 2011. Janea and Praveen did an excellent job on not only my updo and airbrush makeup but also on my girls (bridesmaids and moms). They took the time to listen to what each of us wanted and worked with us to create a work of art that looked absolutely fabulous! We had fun hanging out and listening to Janea's 80s mashup hits too. It helped me to destress and have some fun and laughs in the process. I would recommend them for any event at any time. Them coming to us at the hotel was also a plus and so convienent than trying to book/schedule a time slot at a hair salon. They came to us and brought all their tool kits to beautify us and we had a blast, I will never forget it! Thank you soo much ladies! Best regards and much thanks, Kristen Niebel - Garza.

Janea and Elaina were amazing. They came to our hotel and were great in that they were so nice to work with, as well as just really nice people. Their work was absolutely gorgeous, and they created what ever looks we wanted. Such nice women and I valued their flexibility as well. What a wonderful experience.

The team did an amazing job. I had so much fun with the girls and they most def made you feel beautiful on your wedding day! Loved it!

Janea is wonderful and very talented. My makeup looked amazing and lasted all night! She not only cares about her craft she cares about her clients. You won't go wrong by hiring Janea.

These girls did an amazing job making me look my best on my wedding day! They were so nice and bubbly, really making it a joy to work with them. I live out-of-town and they were very accommodating with me when scheduling my trial. They are extremely great at what they do, making my bridesmaids and me look absolutely WONDERFUL!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

My wedding was april 16th 2011 and i had janea and amber do our hair and make-up for my wedding, They did an awsome job, they did our make-up and hair exactly the way i wanted it to look like.. Also janea was very flexable with her prices so i could stay around my budget for the wedding.. The two girls were very perfesional, they got there on time and had us ready in enough time to get to the wedding and have a breather lol..

Thank you,
Rebecca Simmons :)

I would highly recommend Janea at J & A makeup artistry for all your beautician needs.
I had a horrible experience with a different beautician vendor when planning my wedding. The minute I started contact with Janea she put all my worries behind me and I felt completely confident she would take care of my beauty needs on the wedding day.
The trial run went fantastic. The wedding day the makeup lasted throughout the entire event without needing touch ups and I didn't have runny makeup from crying. I had started crying the minute I walked into the ceremony to go down the aisle and the makeup still lasted hours later! She really went above and beyond to take care of me and my bridesmaids that day!
The prices were very reasonable as well and I will definitely be recommending Janea at J & A Makeup Artistry to all my girlfriends.

I love love love love Janea! I am beyond glad I chose them to be my beauticians! My trial run was done for my bachelorette party and it looked awesome and my whole bridal party was done on wedding day! Everyone looked gorgeous. The makeup lasted all day without needing touch ups and I didn't have runny makeup from crying. The prices were very reasonable as well and we were given lip gloss and eyelashes to keep! I even invited the girls to join us at the wedding because they are so much fun to be around. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I will use them anytime I need professional makeup in the future.

My make-up for both my trial and actual wedding was perfect! Couldn't ask for more! It last all day without touch-ups and even at the hotel afterwords. Going to be using her again in the future! And to think I was going to do airbrush make-up and spend 3 times as much! It's a good investment for looking back at pictures for years to come!

Janea and her team made me feel more beautiful on my wedding day than I have in my entire life!!! They were so friendly and easy to get along with as well. I would reccommend thier services to anyone 100%!!!

Janea is hands down my go to for all hair and makeup needs of my clients! Amazing talent, impeccable service, and all around One of the Best of the Biz!
