Erin Blair Gobin - Hair & Makeup Artist

Erin was so great to work with. I contacted her few weeks before my wedding and she was very responsive and offered me a holiday special she was currently running. I loved my hair and makeup trial and on the wedding day it turned out even better than I expected. I was getting compliments on my flawless makeup and gorgeous up do all night long! I would definitely recommend Erin to future brides and for special occasions.

Erin was amazing!! She did my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures and then again on my wedding day and also did all 6 of my bridesmaids, she did such a great job and even made my most pickiest bridesmaids happy :) I would recommend her to anyone that is getting married especially my friends, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup from everyone on my wedding day, she is great!

Absolutely recommend to the bride that wants a very professional atmosphere as well as professional results. Stays in touch and makes sure you are both on the same page with what is in mind before even starting the process. She brings lots of ideas to the table and suggestions that are not overwhelming or pushy. Very easy to communicate with and wants you to look even more beautiful than even you yourself thinks is possible.

Erin did an awesome job on my hair and make up for our wedding, along with the hair and make up for my bridesmaids. I have to say that I knew Erin previous to deciding to have her work our wedding (she was a friend of a friend), which can be tricky, but was NOT in this case. I had several trials with Erin to make sure we got it right (I'm not used to so much make up, but we tried different options until we found one I liked). And, I have super straight hair and was concerned that the curls would not last all night. But, she made it work...both my hair and make up were beautiful, and lasted until the next day!

My bridesmaids were also very happy with their results...one even teared up when she saw herself in the mirror. I really liked that Erin listened to what I wanted, helped me try new things, and acheived the best possible result for my wedding day. It was also really nice to find someone that does hair AND make up...most vendors I found only did one or the other. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to hire someone to do their hair and make up.

Everything was beautiful. We had a trial and made a few changes, that worked out great! All of my girls and my mothers looked fabulous. Thank you.

I used Erin for hair and makeup on a total of 6 people including myself. I also used her for engagements and boudoir photo hair and makeup and she always made sure I loved how I looked. For my trial she was very honest with me in that the styles I wanted would not be possible with my thin hair and suggested extensions. I really appreciated her being up front so I could make an informed decision about the extensions and have realistic expectations. I booked her pretty far in advance and months after I had paid her in full she was running a new special package which was almost exactly what I had but included airbrush makeup for no additional charge. I inquired with her if she would upgrade my package and she happily obliged even though she didnt have to. On the day of she was at the hotel before we were and had a clear plan for how the day should flow. She had to bring in a different assistant last minute and the assistants work was good but we added one extra girl on and at the end she very loudly to the whole room said “okay who has my check”, I just felt this was a little unnecessary. That was my only minor complaint and it was just that, minor. Erin even heard one of the girls saying she wasn’t in love with her hair so she offered to redo it. Overall I loved Erin but not really the assistant.

Erin, saved me at the last min! She does a great job and is very flexible on time, location, and dates. Thank you so much!!!!!!!! She did a great job!!!!!

Erin has so many amazing reviews, but she was so great that I wanted to add another. Erin did my makeup for both my bridal pictures and my wedding. I took my portraits on a scorching day in August, and even though I was sweating buckets, my makeup didn't budge. On my wedding day, I shed quite a few tears, tore up the dance floor, and gave out a ton of hugs, but at the end of the night, I still looked as if she had just finished my makeup.

I would definately recommend Erin to anyone! She was super great!!

She made me feel so welcome, and was super flexible (she has just had a baby by the way, and she was willing to work with my schedule, awesome!)

She can basically look at a picture and duplicate it. Her skills were great! My hair and make up stayed all night and I got loads of compliments on it.

I would definately use Erin again :)

I am so happy that I chose to have Erin Gobin do my wedding party's (and my) hair and makeup for my wedding. I have received so many compliments from wedding attendees about how beautiful all of my girls looked. I recommended Erin Gobin to my best friend who's getting married. I can't think of any higher compliement I can give than that!

I absolutely would use Erin in the future.

loved my hair & makeup. my bridesmaids loved their updos & makeup as well. even my mother (who is typically very picky) loved her look. it lasted all day in 90+ degree heat. got tons of compliments about how amazing we all looked. both her & amy were awesome to work with. highly recommend! thanks erin!

I loved working with Erin. She was very professional , but fun, and I loved how all the ladies looked for the wedding. And all the ladies loved how they looked as well. Different bridesmaids were happy with different levels of "glam" and Erin was able to make each of them comfortable. The one thing that was a bit of a bummer was Erin didn't have the picture of my hair from the trial/bridal session so it ended up a bit different. I really loved my hair from the trail so I was a little disappointed. Still, I liked my hair the day of as well. One additional note - I had an outdoor wedding and it was INCREDIBLY windy. My hair barely moved and looked great in all the pictures. I would highly recommend Erin for any hair/make-up needs you have.

She was fantastic! I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, so I brought in a picture of my dress at my trial hair appointment, and she figured out what would complement the dress well. I had my hair and make-up done there and so did my bridesmaids and my flower girls. Everyone looked fabulous on my wedding day. They worked with our schedules and were fun and friendly. The hair dresser I saw at my trial was very conscious about my hair holding and asked that I took pictures though out that evening so she could see how the style held so she could be sure to know if she had to kick it up for the big day.

Erin was absolutely fantastic to work with and I would recomend Erin to anyone, bride or not for hair and/or makeup. Erin completed my hair and makeup for both my bridal portraits and wedding day (as well as hair for 2 bridesmaids) and I was thrilled with the results! My makeup was flawless and lasted all day long. My hair was pulled up and there wasnt a hair out of place all night. I received so many compliments and felt like a beautiful bride. Thank you Erin!

Without a doubt, I highly recommend Erin for both hair & makeup services. We met for my consultation about 3 weeks before my wedding and she was able to exactly duplicate what we decided upon on my wedding day. She was very patient & flexible with my 3 bridesmaids and worked with them to create their beautiful hair of varying lengths on the spot. Most importantly, Erin was reassuring to my mom who is not the type of woman who gets "all made up."
She was on time, reliable, a genius at her trade, extremely professional & fun at the same time .. 5 stars indeed! Thanks Erin =)

Erin was absolutely great for my bridals and wedding! She did an awesome job! She is very professional and flexible. All of my bridesmaids loved the way she did their hair and make-up for my wedding! I thought my hair and make-up was perfect! I am so glad I chose her for my wedding/bridals! I will def recommend her to everyone!!

Erin was/is amazing. We did not have a trial due to time issues on my side (nursing student, working full time, planning a wedding), but that did not hinder my results.

I took her photos of the ideas I liked for both hair and makeup. I walked in looking tired and blah, and left looking amazing.

The makeup held up ALL NIGHT LONG even though I was sweating like crazy. My hair stayed perfect and even looked good the next morning when I got up for class.

I was concerned with the cost at first, but she is SO worth it!

Erin,
Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on my hair and make-up for my bridal portraits, wedding, and wedding party. The pictures turned out great and I received so many compliments on my hair and make-up. Thank you for being so reliable and flexible. You are the first name I give to any of my friends looking for a specialist. Your talent helped make my wedding day special. Thank you again for everything.

Erin was absolutely amazing!!! She listened to what I was wanting and made it more than I could ever imagine! I also had a bridesmaid that looked HORRIBLE the day of and without me even having to say something, Erin kindly offered to touch up her make-up and made her look amazing! All of my bridesmaids had a different style they wanted and Erin was able to make all of us look stunning! She was incredibly flexible with times and locations and made it very easy to communicate with her with quick responses! I couldnt imagine using anyone else!

Erin was amazing for our wedding! All my bridesmaids loved her and she made us all look so great! She started our makeup early that morning for my evening wedding. Even after 10pm makeup still looked flawless! I wanted someone for my wedding who could do hair and makeup, and she is amazing at both! I can't say enough about her. Check out her blog for great pictures.

Erin did the hair and makeup for my 2 bridesmaids, my mom and me. She comes completely prepared for anything. She did such a great job and everyone had beautiful, unique looks. I LOVED my hair and makeup and so did my husband.

One of my bridesmaid's boyfriends told me he had never seen her so beautiful. I would recommend Erin to anyone. She is sweet and fun too which is a huge relief on a high stress day.

Erin did such an awesome job on my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as for my bridesmaids. I could not have asked for anything better! I gave her an idea of what I wanted, she took it from there, and the end result was better than what I expected! The hair and makeup lasted all day and still looked great at the end of the night. I highly recommend Erin!!

Erin ROCKS! She is a VERY talented make up artist and hair stylist. Let me tell you that I am very picky and indecisive. I had no idea how I wanted my hair and make up. I gave Erin limited instruction and she made me look perfect! After she made me look perfect, I still wanted a little more and she added what I wanted with no question! I tried many other hair and make up artist and I am soooo happy I booked Erin! There is not one bad thing I could say about Erin!
If I ever have another special event for hair or make up I will defiantly go back to Erin without a doubt! Book Erin for your hair and make up, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Erin for putting up with me you did GREAT!

Erin was absolutely amazing! She was referred to me through acquintances and other make-up artists and I was truly 100% pleased with everything! She was fun and totally flexible. I would highly recommend Erin to any bride who is looking for a hair/make-up artist.

I loved working with Erin! She did a fantastic job on my hair & makeup and was also very receptive (not to mention patient) when I changed my mind about what hairstyle I wanted between the trial run, the bridals, and the wedding. I recommend setting up a trial run and taking pics for reference, especially for any indecisive brides like me. On the wedding day, Erin and her assistant Amy were friendly, professional, and had all of us looking gorgeous in no time! She is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Erin does a great job and is very professional. She drove all the way to Oklahoma City for the wedding. All of my girls absolutely loved her and my cousin is wanting to use her for her wedding. VERY highly recommended.

Erin was one of my favorite wedding vendors I used. I could tell from the first 5 minutes of the trial that I made the right decision. She came highly reccomended and it shows! She came to our house (all the way in Forney!) with a huge smile and all of her professional tools ready to go. All but one bridesmaid had their hair and make up done by Erin and you could tell! I had numerous people at the wedding tell me how stunning and beautiful everyone was. What's the point in hiring a good photographer if you're not going to hire the best make up/hair artist?!?!?!

Erin is great to work with. She listens and takes feedback in a professional manner. She never pressured me to "look" or do my hair/makeup in a particular way. Even my Dad commented on how great my make up looked!

I loved my hair and make-up and cannot believe how many compliments I got. My photos turned out beautifully and a huge part of that is to how great I looked - all because of Erin!

Her prices are so reasonable, so much so that my mom and 2 bridesmaids decided to get their make-up done the morning of as well - and Erin was totally fine with that. We were at the church right on time with no worries at all!! It truly was perfect and could not have gone better!!

Erin was absolutely fantastic to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and make-up services. She was very nice and friendly and the booking process was extremely easy. She does a fantastic job on both hair and makeup and has the ability to do many different looks and styles. For my wedding, Erin did my hair and makeup and the hair and make up of my mom, mother in law, two sisters and sister in law. All were very pleased! Before the wedding I did a trial run (and later bridal portraits) in which Erin tried out a couple of styles allowing me to see what worked best. After I was done, both my mom and sister whom were previously undecided on whether they should get their hair and make-up done for the wedding, were immediately on board to have theirs done and were just amazed how great of a job Erin did on me.

Again, I highly recommend Erin! You will not be disappointed.

Erin and her gals were professional, yet fun! Me and my girls looked AMAZING, each look fitting each girl, everyone looked modern and trendy. (no "prom" up-dos!) It was the first time for me to be with a group that got their hair and make-up done without anyone crying about "how bad their hair looked" or someone having to have their hair re-done. Everyone was happy! It made for an relaxing, fun afternoon with my bridesmaids before walking down the aisle. Oh...and there were 14 of us! :) They pleased 14 women!!!

Erin did a great job on myself, my bridesmaids and my mother. We all looked gorgeous for my wedding day. She worked with everyone's preferences and comfort level to make sure they were happy with their look.
It was wonderful to have her come to us at the church so that we didn't have to spend the morning running from place to place. I highly recommend using Erin's services for your special day!

Erin is another of my favorite vendors - but she didn't do my wedding day makeup. Last minute, 2 days before my bridal portraits, I discovered Hurricane Ike was going to hit Houston. So, since my photographer is in Dallas, I decided to go up to Dallas instead - but at the last minute, I needed bridal hair and makeup done and posted a cry for help on another popular wedding site. Erin responded to me quickly and answered any questions I had - she TOTALLY saved me that weekend. And her work was incredible. I felt sooo very beautiful with the hair and makeup she did for me. My fiance at the time couldn't stop looking at me that whole day. =) If Erin was in Houston, I definitely would have booked her for my wedding day makeup as well. =)

Erin was so great to work with and I would highly recommend her! We had a early tea ceremony scheduled prior to the church ceremony, so we needed her there super early (6am) to get me & my six bridesmaids taken care of. Even with horrible weather & and a hotel valet that seemed to make everyone else late, she showed up on time and ready to go! The only negative was some of my bridesmaids were unhappy with the looks done by her assistant, but everything she did was great. I had my trial run a good 5 months before our actual wedding, so changed my mind on how I wanted my makeup done on the day of. She was really flexible and gave me a smoky look that I loved and looked great in pictures. I actually had 3 trial runs before Erin with some pretty well-known artists in the Dallas area, and she was the only person who was able to do both amazing make-up AND hair. Thanks Erin!!

Erin was wonderful! My hair and makeup lasted all day and looked beautiful-even thought I wanted curls in my fine hair. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.

Erin was awesome! She did my "trial run" on the day of our engagement portraits, and then did something totally different on the wedding day. Both times, the results were fabulous, and even better, looked great in the photos. I highly recommend Erin for hair/makeup services.

It was a pleasure to work with Erin. She's very talented and my bridal and wedding photos turned out great. The make up lasted the whole day. She's very upbeat and fun to work with.

I felt that Erin and her assistant did a quality job on my make up as well as my maid of honors. It stayed for the whole entire day! Which also made my pictures turn out beautiful.

Erin was very professinal and did a great job on me and my 6 bridesmaids! I booked her after she did my makeup at another friend's wedding and continue to spread her name around to other brides.

She did a great job of giving me the look I wanted from the pictures I showed her.

Erin had me and my bridesmaids looking damn good!

I hired Erin to do hair and makeup for my wedding for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mother. Erin gave me an absolutely gorgeous updo, and everyone looked very lovely.

I would like to say that I thought I looked better after my trial than on the actual day of the wedding. Now, to be fair, I had my trial months before the wedding, and I know it would be unrealistic to expect her to replicate the look exactly, especially because my hair was longer at the wedding. I just looked so, so gorgeous after my trial - I looked amazing on the day of, but when I compare pictures, the look on my wedding day just doesn't quite meet the same "wow" factor. I loved my updo, but it didn't have quite the same "undone" look to it as it did at the trial. My makeup was great, but my eyes didn't pop quite as much, and my cheeks weren't quite as dewy and and fresh as they were after my trial. And again, to be fair, when Erin asked if I wanted to do anything different I said I might like more bronze eye makeup. I just didn't realize that that one request would change my look so much, and in my opinion it was not only the color that was different, it was also much less of a "smoky" eye effect. If Erin was open to changing it I wish I had been asked if I liked the effect more or less than my trial.

By the way, if you are wondering if I am simply remembering wrong or being overly picky - if you ask through pm I can send you photos of after the trial and at the wedding. The eye make up in particular is quite noticeably different. And yes, I suppose I should have asked her to redo it, but keep in mind that I was a harried bride, just looking in a mirror and not quite sure if it was just me thinking it was different. Until I saw the pictures and then it was clear that the look was quite different. And part of the reason I paid such a high price was to have someone to trust to recreate a look I chose at my trial - and again I didn't realize how different the "bronze" eye would look. Also - I went straight from the makeup chair to the hair chair, and by the time I was finished and got to look Erin and her assistant had packed up much of their materials and were talking about their plans for the rest of the night. I would have liked them to be a little more attentive and focused on me and making it perfect, especially because the session I paid more than $1100 for was ending quicker than they had expected (they kept expressing surprise that they were getting through everyone so quickly). However, I do have to take on some of the responsibility for my eye makeup being different because when asked I requested a different color.

Now - don't take this to mean that I think someone else could do better. I'm not sure there's anyone else who can beat Erin in the area. She just didn't quite live up to the high standard she set for me. I love what she did I just....loved it even more before! I am still happy with her service and would recommend her!

Erin was amazing -- she was able to accommodate me, my 4 attendants, my sister (the "best maid"), both moms and the flower girl! I felt like a princess and (thanks to a great photographer, also) have the photos to cherish my fairy-tale day forever! Erin and her assistant did a great job making me feel beautiful on my wedding day and had exceptional rates!

I was VERY pleased with the results of my makeup!! Erin did a FABULOUS job. It lasted the entire day and night. I had SO many compliments, and the pictures looked great too. In the end I was was a bit upset that I had to pay for 3 makeup applications for bridesmaids who backed out of my contract. However, I do understand that I was responsible for the contract. So, I would advise any future brides to either book your contract ONLY for yourself, OR better yet- collect the money from your girls at the time of booking. You don't want to get stuck with an outrageous bill on your wedding day. If you book wisely, you will be EXTREMELY pleased with the work Erin does. She listens to your requests. She is professional, funny, and personable. Such a DOLL!! I recommend!!

Wonderful! So gracious, pleasant, and calm. Very flexible and easy to work with. I felt more beautiful than ever!

Erin did my hair/makeup and hair for my 6 bridesmaids while her assistant did makeup for the 6 bridesmaids. I felt Erin was irritated with some of my girls since they were not happy with their hair and asked for a redo or adjustments to be made. If the girls are paying $140 for hair & makeup then I think they should feel comfortable with how they look. If you do go with her, I would double check the wedding day time and arrival location because she was waiting for me at the reception site even though the contract stated to be at my house! Besides the issues, everyone did look beautiful and my makeup lasted for hours.

If you hire an assistant, make sure you get one that is well-trained.

I liked Erin and had heard good things about her. I booked her blind, about 9 months before the wedding. She is great at communicating via email quickly. I had my trial and she was nice and did a great job on my hair and my makeup was just okay. I was going to have her fix a few things at the wedding but nothing major. Well two weeks before the wedding she contacted me via email to let me know that her primary day job had her going out of town during my wedding and that she would have to cancel on me. I found it extremely unprofessional. I understand that being a MUA is her second job but when you book something as important as weddings you need to understand that your day job needs to be flexible. She gave my money (with my permission) to her partner/assistant Amy Doty for a second trial, she took over my wedding for me at the last minute.

At first I was a little nervous seeing as how she does not have a blog, FB or anything showcasing her work. But her "recreation" of Erin's look was FABULOUS!! And I guess things do work out for a reason because I felt like Amy and I clicked better, and I was much happier with the work she produced for my wedding day! My bridesmaid and myself looked amazing and Amy even put false lashes on my mom for me for no extra fee :) Amy was great to work with and in the end I could not have been happier with the way things turned out!

Erin is such a fabulous artist and our brides just love her! I never have to worry about whether or not she will show up, be on time, or do exactly what our girls envision. Our brides absolutely rave about Erin and we are very blessed to have such top notch A-1 service with her!!

Erin is a very talented artist and always on the cutting edge of what bride's are asking for. She can create anything and has a unique approach to hair and makeup while still creating a timeless look. Your photos will be enhanced greatly when she does the entire bridal party!

Its always refreshing to work with Erin! All of my brides are excited after meeting her and so happy with their appearance on the day of. Trust me, the cost is worth it... Erin will make you feel like a royalty and you will have no worries about your appearance on the day of your super special day. Erin is truly an artisan of her trade!

We love working with Erin! We have sent so many brides to her recently, and they all love her and book her on the spot. She is fun to work with, has a great personality, and great at what she does!

Erin is super fun and amazing to work with. We have had nothing but great experiences with her and we always highly recommend her to everyone and can't wait to work with her again!

Erin is a great makeup artist with a great personality to match! Erin and I often work together and she is definitely an asset to the team.

I have seen many of Erin's clients in person with their make up done and I cannot say enough good things about her talents- gorgous work! :-)

Proper photography makeup makes the image. Erin customizes her makeup applications to photographic lights and the result is a clean, vibrant look with beautifully accentuated features. Her style is modern so you look like you just walked out of a bridal magazine and you are ready to work it under the photography lights!

Erin's work is absolutely beautiful and flawless! Her work helps to create amazing images for us and the client. When a bride feels beautiful the images are always awesome, and Erin is a huge part of that.

Erin is professional, dependable, and phenomenal at what she does. And brides love her!
