The Makeup Loft

Janelle is hands down THE best make up artist in Michigan. I had a bridesmaid who got married last year who wished she had booked them and a bridesmaid getting married in October who wished she booked with them as well! My other bridesmaid ALWAYS ends up taking off the make up she gets done when she's in weddings because she doesn't like it, and she loved the way she looked when Janelle did her make up. Very professional and quick, and versatile! She was able to do Caucasian, African American and Asian make up and enhanced us all! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and very reasonably priced, do not go anywhere else!

Janelle and her team are amazing! I used them for my wedding and they made everyone look like models! My Mom is very self conscious sometimes, and after Janelle got done with her makeup, I have never seen her look more confident or incredible in my life! Also, they are really efficient at what they do and we didn't need to spend hours sitting in a chair to look so beautiful. They are really friendly, professional and responsive and they even came to us for a very reasonable fee, which is definitely worth doing! Thanks again for making us look so incredible!

My hair and make up was flawless for my wedding! Not only did I love everything about it all of my bridesmaids and my mom and mother in law did as well. Its always hard to make sure that 8 different woman walk away happy with their hair and make it and The Makeup Loft did just that. They even were flexible enough to allow some of the bridesmaids who originally didnt sign up for make up to get it done. I am so happy I hired the Makeup Loft and would recommend them again and again!

Working with The Makeup Loft was really great. Jamie was quick with returning emails and phone calls and was always prepared with answers.

Rachel did my hair. I had 2 trials; the first didn't go so well. I chose to do it early and I wasn't sure what I wanted and the photos I brought weren't the best. When I didn't like how my hair turned out all the girls were great. I made a second appointment and Rachel took the time to do 2 different styles so we made sure I had the hair I wanted. Even though I was freaked out after the first trial Rachel made it right and I loved my hair the day of the wedding. She is really talented.

Janelle is truly gifted. I'm so impressed with her and I loved my makeup at the trial and the day of my wedding. I had so many compliments on how great my skin looked!

All these girls had a hand in helping me feel the best I could have ever imagined on the most important day of my life. I will forever recommend them and hopefully there will be an occasion where I can be a repeat customer.

The Make up loft did my hair and make up for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Engagement photo experience was good, not great. I wanted something a little more natural. I had told them I wanted curl in my hair, but my hair tends to not hold curl. They told me the curls would hold and they didn't. I believe that to be my own fault though, I know my hair better than anyone. But my pictures did turn out great and even though my hair didn't hold the curl it had great body which worked out fine. My bridal trial was good too. I started to panic a little bit in the hair chair and I just couldn't figure out what the problem was. They suggested I take a break and work on make up and it was just what I needed. They were very accommodating. For my wedding day, I had three of their stylists come to my house. Best thing ever! They got all my girls done and fast. Without jeopardizing quality. The were great. My pictures again turned out flawless and I have never felt so beautiful in my life. The confidence booster you need when all eyes are on you!

Janelle and her team are AMAZING!!! They arrived right on time, even though there was a shut down on the only highway to my venue, she still made it there a few minutes early. Her and the two girls doing our hair were so nice and friendly, we really enjoyed having them there. They made everyone feel very comfortable. Everyone looked SO beautiful. I was so happy with my hair and my makeup. My curls and my makeup lasted all night, even after the wedding. I noticed that the girls kept looking at themselves in the mirror, they just knew they looked beautiful and really made them feel great. We all received tons of compliments from everyone. Janelle and everyone at The Makeup Loft are true professionals.

Janelle and her team did an excellent job with onsite hair and makeup for my wedding. She's fun and easy to work with, and her facials are fabulous! If you are thinking of going with the Makeup Loft, book early as they fill up fast!

Janelle and her team are amazing! I was thrilled with my hair and makeup - dramatic yet natural as well - not an easy combination to achieve! Her team was very professional and efficient. The quality and durability of her makeup is excellent as well. I had a Hindu ceremony, which involved putting a red-dye puttu on my forehead. However, I was able to remove this after the ceremony and my makeup remained intact. I would recommend the Makeup Loft to any bride without a doubt.

My bridesmaids and I looked beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Head Makeup Artist Janelle T.! Her staff was wonderful in answering all of my pre-day qustions and worries and I even got to pay over the phone how convenient! I did a trail run quite a few months ahead and knew that she was my girl, she is so good at what she does, it's amazing. The day of the wedding she arrived right on time and got going on the girls and saved me for last so I would look the freshest. I have a few imperfections on my face and she covered them up so well that you would never know they were there andher line of makeup lasts well into the next day so you can go on your airplane ride and still look fabulous. My photos look beautiful now because I had a professional do my makeup for me on my big day! What a RELIEF! Thank you ladies at The Makeup Loft.

Janelle, Rachel, and the rest of Janelle's team made my wedding day so much easier! They are professionals who were unfazed by the variety of types of faces and hair to work on. Janelle even averted a clothing crisis with one of my Bridesmaids and got her dress to zip up! I had originally been a bit concerned that the service was a little pricey, but found out that you get what you pay for in this case. It was well worth the money, we look great even in cellphone pictures...I can't wait for the professional pictures to arrive! Thank you Makeup Loft team for making this mature Bride look her best! I will see you for non wedding services soon!

So amazing!!! Makeup and hair were flawless. The whole staff was on time and didn't stop until everyone was a 100% happy!!! Through out the night myself and bridesmaid got tons of compliments how stunning we looked!! highly recommend! Definitely worth the money!!!

I had the best experience with The Make Up Loft. All of my bridesmaids hair and make-up looked fabulous and lasted all day. They were on time and very professional. My sister liked them so much she ended up canceling the company she had previously hired for her wedding and decided to use the Make Up Loft because she was so impressed with their services. On your wedding day there are so many things you have to worry about but if you use the Make up Loft, Hair and Make up is one less thing on the list. I would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you! The limo we used totally ruined our day and made us swelter in the heat but makeup stayed in tact and looked awesome! You guys rock..thank you so much :)

Janelle & her staff were wonderful at working with each of my girls to ensure that not only did we each feel beautiful, but comfortable the entire day. She helped to ensure that not only did I, the bride, get the look I was going for-for myself & my party as a whole, but also that each bridesmaid was able to assert her own individuality & style. Everyone looked beautiful the entire day! I am so thankful that they were able to be there for my special day!

I had never had Professional Make up done before so i was very hesitant on getting it done professionally for my sister's wedding. I was beyond thrilled and very impressed. I felt flawless and very beautiful. The whole staff at the Make up Loft was a great help and I highly recommend them to anyone!!

I highly recommend The Makeup Loft!! Janelle and her team did a fabulous job with both hair and makeup on me-the bride, the bridesmaids, and the mothers. I enjoyed having the team come to my venue because it set more of a relaxed tone and it was more intimate for the bridal party as opposed to being spread out at a salon. From the trial to the day of, the Makeup Loft provided friendly and prompt service. These ladies are truly talented and if I could do it all over again, they would still be my number one choice. Looking beautiful on my big day was very important to me and I could not have been happier with the results!

I love Janelle and her team! They are so nice and professinal! They made everything so easy (they came to us instead of us going to them). They are great and the price is great too!

Janelle at the makeup loft is amazing! The first time I saw her she did my makeup for my engagement pictures which was flawless! I was so sad to have to wash it off that night because it still looked awesome 12 hours later. After that I started to see Janelle monthly for facials leading up to my wedding. My skin drastically improved and I no longer feel like my face is in Jr High dealing with acne while the rest of me is in my 20s. I wish I could have had Janelle do my makeup for my wedding but since I was in Las Vegas that probably wouldn't have worked out so well. But I will continue to see Janelle for facials up until the day I get sent off with my husbands job in the Army.

I love looking at the pictures of my bridesmaids!! When I reviewed my ideas with Janelle, I requested a 40's Hollywood/Pinup glamor and that's what I see! It was a dramatic look, but even my friend who hardly ever wears make-up felt natural and comfortable, not caked. And I felt so beautiful for the big day!

Love Janelle at the Makeup Loft! Janelle, is very personable, professional and will make you feel like your wedding is just as important to her as it was to you! My everyday work schedule can be a little hectic.. Janelle was very accommodating and flexible. Christina was wonderful, she kept me up on my appointments and gave wonderful suggestions, she’s very nice and always made me comfortable with what I wanted. I didn’t have a clear vision of direction I wanted with my makeup or hair so I met with Janelle and Jill several times for trial runs… Both Janelle and Jill were very patient & understanding.. They never made me feel like I was a bother nor did they ever give up until I was happy. As the wedding day approached Janelle, Jill and Janelle’s hair assistant gave myself and my girls the look I was looking for, everyone looked gorgeous!!! The thing I liked the most about Janelle was before my bridesmaids were out of her chair she made sure not only they liked the way they looked she checked with me that it was the look I wanted for my day. Janelle didn’t let her job end once my appointment was over, when I booked with Janelle I didn’t have all my vendors, she was amazing with referrals even though she wasn’t making any profit from them. Over the course of time, I trusted her opinion and suggestions. On top of referrals, Janelle checked in with me several times to make sure I wasn’t overwhelmed with any of my planning and constantly made sure I was ok with her work. If I had the chance to rewind time and pick again, I would hire The Makeup Loft again! Along with great service and very personable staff the Makeup Loft is affordable which is every brides hope. A lot of wedding vendors can be very expensive and treat you like you’re just another wedding… Not The Makeup Loft, I wouldn't hesitate to book again!!! Good luck & enjoy every moment because the day is over before you know it~

I could not have been more happy on my day with everything Janelle and her team did. Not only did I feel totally at ease with how I was going to look but I was stunned when I saw myself in the mirror. The attention to detail was amazing and how long my makeup lasted and looked was not something I thought makeup could even do. I look at my pictures from our wedding and I could cry from how beautiful all of us looked and how fun and easy the day went as far as beauty goes, thanks to the Makeup Loft. I would recommend them to anyone for anything without a second thought!!!

Katie Stam from The Makeup Loft did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did a fabulous job! She also did my mom's hair and makeup which turned out great as well! Both makeup and hair held all day and night and I received many, many compliments on both! Katie is a sweetheart, knows her stuff, and she does an amazing job! She works fast and flawlessly. I've never felt so beautiful as on my wedding day and it was all thanks to Katie! I would highly recommend her!

FABULOUS!!! Your professionalism and quality of work was just outstanding. Can't give you a high enough rating. Thank you so much for making everyone look beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes

Janelle Thomason of The Makeup Loft is the go-to studio for professionals. She is a nationally sought makeup artist working with screen talent and other notable clients, and yet she has a very amiable personality. Her work is beautiful to capture!

I highly recommend Janelle and staff for their work. I've worked with Janelle before and feel very confident in sending my clients to her. She does excellent work and is very personable and accommodating. Karen Bailey, Custom Creations & Invitations
