“Celina made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She took the time to call me the day before to make sure we were on the same page, communicated with me about what look I wanted months before the wedding, and was SO nice and fun! I was super nervous the day of my wedding, but she made me feel so calm and really helped me with my nerves. She perfected the hair style and makeup I wanted...everything was just perfect!”
“I hired Emily to do hair and makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids, mother of the groom and my mom, for my destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, MX and I’m so happy I did! From the first time we spoke, she was very organized and answered all of my questions promptly. The day of the wedding, I put my full trust in her and she delivered! Her and Celina were professional, efficient and so skilled at what they do! I highly recommend Emily for all of your wedding day glam!”
“I absolutely loved working with Celina. She was personal and helped guide me with the best hair and makeup for my dress. She made me feel comfortable and confident. The whole reservation, payment and confirmation process was seamless. I highly recommend!”
“Worked with Josie and Celina - they did the makeup and hair for me, my bridal party, mom, SIL and DIL. They did an incredible job with a group of women with very different complexions, skin types and hair types, and they made getting ready so much fun. They created a relaxing atmosphere while keeping things on schedule. Celina did a really wonderful job with a bunch of different hairstyles since everyone had different requests.”
“...One of her team members, Celina, also did some of my bridesmaids and my mom’s makeup, and she was amazing as well! I would highly recommend Emily and her team for your wedding day!”
“I spent days researching a hair and makeup team for an upcoming photoshoot for work. Emily and her team were super responsive and answered any questions or concerns that I had. We had the lovely opportunity to work with Celina and Kelsea. They were a dream team!! They brought to life the exact look and vibe that we were going for and, on top of that, brought tremendous energy to the shoot. It was such a fun experience. If we come back to California for another shoot, we will 100% hire them again. Highly recommend!!! And thank you so much!”
