Lizzie Ibarra Hair & Make-up Artist

Lizzie did exactly what I wanted her to do. I was thrilled with how my makeup and hair looked on wedding day....it was exactly as I had envisioned. I felt beautiful and yet natural and like myself. She totally listened to my needs and worked with me so that I would feel 100% satisfied.

Our wedding was November 8th 2012 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. If I could give Lizzie Ibarra a 10 instead of a 5 in this rating, I would. She was like my guardian angel. When I first communicated with her via e-mail it was great but when I met her it was like if I knew her from ages. Other vendors were way expensive and charging for too many extra things. She was right to my budget. She helped me in different aspects of my wedding, not only my hair and make up. She helped me decide on the venue and several other services and she even helped me decorate the table for dinner. She was AWESOME. So professional and genuine. I knew I was in good hands and she did such a beautiful job with my hair and make up, it was amazing, I couldn't be happier, I loved it!! Lizzie, you will always have a special place in my memories on my wedding day, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! <3

Lizzie & her assistant provided hair & make up services for my wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico in October 2012. My mom, mother-in-law & 4 bridesmaids had their make up done, whereas I had had my hair done also. Lizzie is magic! She is always on time, really listens to what you want & is, all in all, a true professional. Lizzie's background in print & television is amazing (not a lot of people have that kind of experience under their belts)! Everyone who had their face done by her photographed extremely well & had their faces last throughout the evening (very important considering the humidity & the partying!). A MILLION THANKS, LIZZIE! You are an amazing artist & person. Thanks so much again!

Lizzie delivers excellence in everything she does. Her passion for her work is real, and it shows in the special attention she pays to details. She listens, and delivers beautifully. During the trial, I had the chance to talk about expectations and alternatives without feeling pressured. Lizzie explained to me how she would enhance the make-up the day of wedding. And she did. She was fully present and was not interrupted by anybody (including the cellphone). She worked meticulously until she was completely satisfied and felt that the work was done. Some guests saw me before I had the chance to look at myself on the mirror. And they were amazed. And more amazed I was, since what I saw was perfection. Also, she even helped me run an errand on the wedding day! I enjoyed her work so much, and trust her talent so much, that for my next formal activity in Puerto Rico, I will definitely contact her for my make-up and hairstyle. Thanks for your wonderful talent, Lizzie! You were part of my beautiful and intimate wedding celebration!

Let me just begin by saying how AMAZING Lizzie was!!! She literally came to my rescue and did my make with only a couple of weeks notice. My wedding planner Eventus by Zahira, left me in the dark and did NOT help me AT ALL when it came to finding someone to do hair and makeup for my maid of honor and myself. I believe that you get what you pay for, and Lizzie delivered beautifully. She is very professional and very attentive always responding to my emails or text messages. I live in Texas and was having to plan everything via internet. Need less to say our destination wedding in Puerto Rico turned out beautifully, being that my husband and I did ALL the leg work. I highly recommend Lizzie for hair and makeup, because of her I felt BEAUTIFUL...Thank you Lizzie from the bottom of my heart.

Lizzie played a big part in helping make my wedding day perfect. She wasn't available herself to do my hair and makeup, so she went out of her way to bring in another one of her makeup artists, Diana. When Diana came in to do the trial a few days before the wedding, Lizzie came with her to make sure everything was taken care of. The trial with Diana went well -- she went a little heavy on the eye shadow and we talked about how to adjust for the wedding day. On that day, she showed up about 45 minutes late because of car problems, but she was able to get me ready and looking perfect on time. Lizzie also brought in a nail technician to come to my room so I wouldn't have to deal with a salon for a mani/pedi. Magali was great -- she showed up right on time and did my nails wonderfully. I even messed one up and she had the patience to fix it for me. I am really appreciative to Lizzie for helping make all that happen and removing a few layers of stress from the day.

Lizzie and her assistant were fabulous! They not only did an amazing job, but helped me feel at ease. They were fun, professional, and very talented. Lizzie is wonderful, flexible, and accomodating. She played an integral part of making my wedding very special.

What a blessing it was to have found Lizzie to do my hair/makeup on my wedding day! She did a fantastic job and I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in San Juan. It rained during my beach wedding (and I shed a tear or two during my vows), but my hair and makeup held up great and we were able to take more pictures after the ceremony! Plus, I had friends and family look at my pictures afterwards and rave about my hair AND makeup. Hiring Lizzie was definitely a great investment and I was so happy with the results.

Lizzie was amazing! She managed to do the make-up and hair (by herself) for my mother-in-law and 2 bridesmaid. She's very quick and does a great job. At first my mother in law didn't like her hair but Lizzie was extremely gracious and didn't take offense just quickly went to work and fixed it. One of my bridesmaid felt that the make-up was too heavy and Lizzie was very understanding but also explained that it was an outdoor night wedding and how she felt that in the pictures she would stand out a bit more but yet still look natural. Boy was she right, the girls received so many compliments. Thank you Lizzie for making them look beautiful!!!

Lizzie Ibarra is worth her weight in gold. My daughter's wedding was a success thanks to her. Lizzie is very professional, very experienced, and bilingual. She made my daughter feel and look like a queen on her wedding day. Lizzie also went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable, and that we looked our very best. Leaving Philadelphia, PA, where the temperature was iaround 30 degrees, and going to Puerto Rico where the temperature was in the high 80"s and humid in the month of March does not help your skin and hair. However that was no problem for Lizzie. She made herself available to us for the rehearsal dinner, for the ceremony, and reception. We looked and felt our very best thanks to Lizzie. She responded to our emails, and/or phone calls right away. She made herself available to us three months before the wedding (December 2011) when we needed to do a hairdo & makeup trial. She is very personable, attentive to detail, resourceful and very professional. Her yerars of experience show. I recommend Lizzie Ibarra without hesitation.

Lizzie did our hair and makeup for my nephew's wedding in Old San Juan. She did my two daughters and myself at our hotel on the Condado strip. Lizzie's makeup and hair was fabulous; she made us look like we were going on the red carpet.

Our hair (and makeup) lasted through the wedding ceremony and a 6-hr. wedding reception (lots of salsa dancing)!

We would recommend Lizzie to anyone who would like hair and makeup done in the San Juan area. She's the best!

Excellent service and professionalism. The only think I think was not as I expected, is that the final product did't look as I wanted it.

Lizzie was really fun and full of great ideas for doing everyone's hair. My family/friends can be really tough critics at times but Lizzie was committed to making sure that everyone was happy and didnt take offense to the changes that some of the girls suggested. I think we all looked favulous which was of course attributed to Lizzie.

Lizzie came in last minute as the woman I had originally booked fell ill. I am so happy with Lizzie; she was fun, the hair trial looked great (we tried two styles), and my hair on the day of the ceremony looked better than it did during the trial. It held up all night, without even a hair out of place. Thanks, Lizzie!

Lizzie did hair & makeup for myself, my mom, and my sister. She was very prompt in emails and on the day of the trial as well as the day of the wedding. She did a great job on all of us. My mother was concerned as she didn't really know what kind of style she wanted and Lizzie knew exactly what to do for her. I highly recommend her to any bride.

Everything came out beautiful, but I thought it was a bit pricey. I LOVED my hair and make-up was great.

By far the best decision I made was hiring Lizzie to do my hair and makeup and the hair for my bridal party. She was amazing, knew exactly what I wanted, and was just so sweet! She met me 2 days before for my trial, and was with me on my wedding day from the morning to the moment I headed off to get married.

There is no better choice.

Hi, I recently got married at the Gran Melia resort in Puerto Rico. Lizzie was recommended to me by my wedding planner (Tropical Weddings). I was originally going to use the resort spa to do my hair but I was not really confident that they would do a good job, so my planner suggested I talk to Lizzie, and I am soo thankful she did! Lizzie came and did a trial run a few days before my wedding, since I am from Massachusetts I wasn't in PR until a few days before the wedding. When I first checked out Lizzie's credentials I was really impressed, she has a great track record and I was really pleased to see pictures in her portfolio that looked natural. In the past, I have had my makeup done for weddings that I was in and they always come out like clown makeup, I end up having to do it myself. Lizzie was the complete opposite of what I experienced in the past, she is a real professional. My makeup was PERFECT, everyone commented on how natural it looked. My hair came out amazing, she did exactly what I asked for and it came out better than I expected it to. My hair and makeup lasted through the heat (we were married on the beach with an outdoor reception) and dancing, which we did all night long! Lizzie is an amazing person, I had such a blast with her the day of my trial and the wedding day. She knew all of my vendors and she worked great with them. She did so many little things the day of the wedding that I didn't expect. The day of the wedding was super emotional for me and I am so happy that she was there for most of the day, she helped me relax and laugh, and I am so happy she was there with me. If I needed my hair and or makeup done again in PR I wouldn't have anyone else but Lizzie do it. I did see a really negative review and I am a bit shocked, Lizzie was great, and her work is AMAZING. Lizzie listened to everything that I wanted and did exactly what I asked for but she also thinks of the things that I wouldn't have thought of. I thought Lizzie's work was awesome and she was a great person to have with you on the day of your wedding... I couldn't have asked for more!

From our initial contact via email until the wedding day, Lizzie Ibarra was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was flexible in accommodating our busy pre-wedding schedule and arrived on time the day of the wedding. For my hair and makeup pre-trial, I simply showed Lizzie a few pictures of what I hoped to look like, and she created an absolutely gorgeous look that complimented my features. My hair stayed in place the entire night, and my makeup was flawless (through happy tears and lots of dancing).

Lizzie also did my mother and one of my bridesmaid’s hair; they looked absolutely fabulous! Lizzie knew exactly how to time everything, and all of us were ready to go in time for the photographer.

Thank you so much Lizzie for making me gorgeous on my wedding day!!

Lizzie was awesome with both my hair and makeup for my wedding. She had wonderful communication throughout the whole process and was really wonderful to work with. All my bridesmaids loved her willingness to do whatever style hair they wanted. She truly made me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend Lizzie for your event.

Lizzie did hair and makeup for me and 4 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She showed up an hour and a half late, walked in the door on the phone, without the assistant that was supposed to be with her, and with no apology for being so late. She rushed through all of our hair and makeup, most of the time while talking on her phone still. My hair did not turn out like the photo examples I had showed her. Instead of being 'soft looking' like I had requested, my hair was plastered to my head, and my sister ended up taking her out and doing it herself after Lizzie finished with her. Lizzie did not really listen to what we wanted, she instead did what she wanted. She was condesending when we were requesting what we wanted. She is overpriced, and the whole experience and the end result was very disappointing.

Lizzie did my hair and make-up in February 12. She is excellent!! I looked very natural, I looked incredible. She also did the hair an make up of my bridal party and everybody was very happy and pleased. I recommend her services 200%, she was very punctual and I had the chance to have a trial before my wedding date, she did a great job!

Thanks Lizzie!!!

Lizzie is sweet and easy to work with. She listens and does an amazing job.
I was happy with my look at my wedding day.

Lizzie is a pleasure to work with. I had a trial about 8 months before the wedding and she did a fantastic job. The day of the wedding my hair had grown so much, so I asked for a slightly different style. She delivered! My makeup lasted throughout the whole day: it sustained tears, kisses, and sweat!

She is sweet and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved working with Lizzie. She was so sweet! She was also very easy to contact, which was important to me while planning a destination wedding. She set up a time with me for a trial once I arrived in Puerto Rico so that I could get an idea of my wedding day look...and of course I loved it! On the day of the wedding she finished everyone on time and they looked great! I had bridesmaids of all ages and types along with our mothers and she made all of them look amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better hair and make-up artist for my wedding! Lizzie was a dream come true! I would recommend her to anyone!

Los servicios de Lizzie Ibarra fueron unos de excelencia y gran calidad. Su puntualidad, responsabilidad, talento y amor por su trabajo la distinguen. Es una perfeccionista y su trabajo habla por si solo. Gran artista!!!! Muchas Gracias!!!

I LOVE Lizzie! She is extremely professional and is very passionate about her work. She did my hair and make-up for my wedding and I looked flawless.
She uses the best products and even picked me up from my hotel room and took me to her shop for my trial run. I have coarse hair and my hair was pin straight after my visit. I highly recommend her!!!!

I was extremely happy with Lizzie doing my hair and make-up for my wedding day. I had previously been emailing another vendor for this job, and she pretty much gave me the run around until 3 weeks before my wedding when she said that she was no longer available. Lizzie was a God sent angel who consistently responded to my emails/phone calls and went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable with my look for my wedding day. I will admit that I was a bit worried about finding a vendor in Puerto Rico when I live in the United States, but Lizzie was very easy going and easy to work with. Even though I just met her a couple of days before my wedding, I felt as if I had known her for a really long time. I wasn't nervous at all on my wedding day, and Lizzie helped me to feel extremely relaxed and at ease on my big day. I did pay a fair amount of money, but I didn't mind because after what I had been through with the previous vendor, I was willing to pay for a sound piece of mind for somebody I knew would be there for me, and Lizzie was. Thanks so much Lizzie!

My makeup (that Lizzie did) - looked great! Her assistant did my bridesmaids makeup and it was a touch heavy on the eye makeup.

She's easy to get ahold of and very flexible!

From the beginning, Lizzie was very accommodating. I was referred to her by another hairdresser and originally contacted her via phone. From then on we were in contact by phone and e-mail. She was always very quick to respond. She is bilingual in English & Spanish which was very helpful too.
Lizzie and an assistant came to my hotel a few days before my wedding and did a trial. We talked about what look I was going for. She looked at my dress, skin and hair and knew right away what colors would look great. She uses fantastic makeup and is also a M.A.C. Cosmetics Pro. She is also very personable and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable with her. After the trial I was very relaxed knowing that I was in good hands.
On the wedding day Lizzie and her assistant came to my hotel room in the morning, on time as scheduled. I would recommend having her come to your hotel if your wedding is in Old San Juan because the traffic can be horrendous and unpredictable. Plus it’s better to minimize stress as much as possible and running around the city on the day of your wedding day doesn’t sound like a good idea.
I believe Lizzie & her assistant ended up doing hair and makeup for 10 women in total. Lizzie was nice enough to accommodate an aunt last minute. Again, everyone looked amazing….all night. My makeup somehow lasted through the night despite some serious heat, humidity and even some rain.
I found Lizzie wonderful to work with; she was familiar with the hotel, the cathedral, my photographer and the whole wedding process. She is very experienced and professional. The photos taken on a wedding night are priceless and I am so grateful to have had Lizzie Ibirra’s help to look beautiful on my wedding.

Lizzie Ibarra did an incredible job doing my hair and makeup for my wedding this past August. I was so nervous about how my hair was going to hold up in Puerto Rico humidity, but I have to say my hair was perfect the entire night even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour thanks to Lizzie's talent. The thing I love the most about her work was that she made me look like me and not completely overdone. The makeup was natural and photographed perfectly. She did everything in my hotel room which was a plus so I did not have to complicate my wedding day by having to run around town :) I can honestly say she was worth every penny, especially looking back at photographs of that day and seeing how beautiful see made me look. I can see why she is referred to as the best of the best in Puerto Rico and she is also extremely responsive and professional in every aspect of her business. I am grateful I found Lizzie for my wedding day!!

Lizzie was amazing. She was very flexible when we had to alter time and location things at the last minute due to the weather. She was extremely professional, calm and personable. I was really stressed and she calmed me down. In addition, Lizzie is very talented. Aside from doing a fabulous job on my hair and make-up, Lizzie went above and beyond, going in search of flowers for my hair - coming back with beautiful orchids that made all the difference. She stayed with us for the duration of the wedding photos doing make-up touch ups, fixing both mine and my husband's hair, reminding me to suck my stomach in (thank-you, Lizzie), helping sweet talk us into interesting locations. She was so wonderful and her artistry made all the difference in our photos. Lizzie made me look and feel glamourous! She made all the difference between boring run of the mill wedding pictures and pictures that could have been out of a magazine spread. Everything was perfect. Thanks, Lizzie!

Lizzy did my hair and make up for my destination wedding! She also worked on my bridal party. I could not have been more happy with the way my hair and make up came out. It was exactly what I wanted, perfect! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommended her anytime!

Lizzie was very professional and she followed my wishes but with some improvements and she made me look really beautifull. The most important thing is that the look was natural but upscale.....

Wow, I was just going through this website and read the last review. I find it very odd that out of all the people Lizzie has done hair and make up for their weddings, ONE, said such unbelievable things. Lizzie has done my hair and make up for shows, commercials, etc. She flew all the way to California to do my hair and make up on my wedding day. She has not only been, sweet, efficient, responsible, and charming but she makes me look absolutely beautiful every time. My hair and make up lasts all day every time. So perhaps the lady that commented before me was just going through the "pre-wedding anxiety syndrome". Lizzie is a true talented artist at what she does, no question about it.

Fantastic hair and make-up artist and also a wonderful person. She is a pleasure to work with. Great to deal with, very reliable, you can count on her.

Professional, best makeup, charming, responsible, makeup and brushes. It fits your needs. It is my favorite. We worked together a lot of weddings and all my clients are always completely satisfied ..
I personally recommend it.
